Re: my various beefs with tvtropes, a novel
(Anonymous) 2012-11-14 03:05 am (UTC)(link)I've seen at least one mod say that it totally is, along other forum regulars. They only stopped claiming that (in the forums, at least), when someone pointed out why it wasn't academical.
(I can't find the thread. It was during the whole purge thing, where one user started a topic asking where TV Tropes was headed and what it wanted to be, if academic or not, and a whole argument ensued where the final decision was that, nope, not analysis, but in, for example, FastEddie's appeal to Google when they withdrew their ads, and in other sites when playing damage control, he and other mods have claimed that TV Tropes has value because it can be used by academics as a source.)
"Tvtropes's purpose is not being a "writing resource" or for explaining enduring images or deep character traits and metaphors."
Tell that to, pretty much all the forum goers in the Writer's Block forum. Ha.
"I assure you that very few people take it as seriously as you do."
Yes, it's only a few, but it's the few that put in their weight every time policies and major edits and such are brought on, so when people point out -like you correctly did just now- that they're just lists upon lists and serve no academic purpose they either insist that it totally is and backpedal when they realize that they're caught.
