Pretty sure I seen discussion on OT about Light that fell along those lines, can probably find some on Reddit if I went browsing.

Is the second character an actual example or hypothetical, because I don't really get where you're going with Light.

It's actually more an example that people lack basic media literacy no different than some of the braindead takes I've heard about Walter White as both are without question the main antagonists of their own stories. Near was 100% correct in his conclusion that Light is just a mass murderer who got drunk on the power of the Death Note, and the moment he wrote Lind L Taylor's name in the Death Note out of spite was when he proved this. --- PS5s have liquid metal tech like the T-1000- AceCombatX Game devs don't deserve money- Zithers, in a topic he made on a game site about artists deserving money. ...

Phrased that wrong. Is the mass child rapist you mentioned an actual character in a work or a hypothetical character used for the discussion?

Whenever I finish a piece of media, I check its entry for neat things I missed out/didn't pick up on
Whenever I hear about/read about something I haven't heard of before, I check its page to see what it is. Especially for video games, it explains them much better than something like Wikipedia, while being much more concise than a review.

I kinda like looking at the YMMV page to see what insights I could get on something I just consumed. Sometimes, seeing other perspectives can make me think about things in different ways. The site is otherwise just kinda trash. It's a bunch of obsessives who want to label and categorize everything even when it doesn't fit, openly stretching definitions or even saying that something is "averted" or "inverted" just so they can make the tropes list bigger. People who want to control language with their stupid inside-jokey terminology. It's crazy how often "some people think" is used to mask some isolated person's vent or bad opinion about something. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Could be me misinterpreting what you were saying, but I seen people actively downplaying a character's heinousness for reasons worse than "not a complete asshole, just 99%". And it might vary case by case, but I don't think whether or not a character is labeled a Complete Monster is stance on how bad their actions are. I can get the issue with not including Made of Evil characters, but there's a point regarding agency. --- https://imgur.com/Id8bUit Rath_Attack by NoblWolf ... Copied to Clipboard!

Tropes have been a thing since the dawn of humanity and simply describe ways of storytelling. TV tropes simply gives a more concise amalgamation of information that was previously exclusive to different groups (fandoms and genre critics mostly). It isn't to be taken that seriously but can give a decent insight into certain ideas. No one wants to continually explain why some element of a media property resonates with them or why it is poor storytelling and tropes are one way to short hand the explanation. MarcyWarcy posted... now avoid describing very simple concepts or plot devices and instead substitute in the stupid esoteric trope names so that less people know wtf they're talking aboutOne of the reasons tropes exist is to do exactly what you are describing, which is take the burden of explanations off the person who knows what they are talking about and onto the person who doesn't. ...

That heavily depends on the person. A fandom's general consensus is much easier to realize if a character is seen as monstrously evil or not. Also heavily depends on the fandom. I've been in various "X was right" arguments to understand that you can very much have a clear section of a fanbase that can and will lionize some of the worst characters of a work or downplay how bad a character's actions are despite how clear cut it's in the story itself. It can get worse when the story isn't constantly slapping in the face with how heinous a character is. --- https://imgur.com/Id8bUit Rath_Attack by NoblWolf ... Copied to Clipboard!

TV tropes is trash and just contributes to media illiteracy. Yes, tropes exist but are more building blocks than anything. Theyre not cliches like so many people say.
Its all about trying to categorise everything, even if it doesnt make sense to the point where they go oh wow these two people from these two different media get angry after someone dies!

TV Tropes does have a habit of locking down and institute a "no real life examples" policy, which can be both good and bad. For instance, the page on Donald Trump is locked from editing, only mentions that he was the US President from 2016-20, and goes through none of his presidential controversies. The page on DSP was also deleted due to it being used to complain about him.
Here are some interesting reads on deleted tropes and works banned from the site, largely due to NSFW content like Bible Black and Boku No Pico. https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Administrivia/PermanentRedLinkClub https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Administrivia/TheContentPolicy --- Hello ...

Oh goody we're at this part of the discussion. Not sure how I'm shilling for them by pointing out some fandoms don't have a clear consensus on certain characters, particularly when you yourself seem against an example because it's "debatable". The point I was raising with Light wasn't even a matter of whether or not I agree with him being a Complete Monster, but that their interpretation is something that exists outside their insulated culture. Then there's my personal experience in that I've come across takes that easily differ simply based of what site I'm on, for example I've been massively downvoted on Reddit for saying I don't like particular characters whereas elsewhere the reaction them can noticeably more mixed. --- https://imgur.com/Id8bUit Rath_Attack by NoblWolf ...

Occasionally I'll catch onto a character trait or a plot point will make a bit more contextual sense from reading the tropes page.
