So which of the tropes you consider to be useless?
A good number of the name and appearance tropes, for starters. For example, Evil Roy. Why is that a trope? These tropes don’t do much but list all of the characters people can think of that either look slightly the same or share a last name.
Things like Dumb Blonde can talk about how media looks at women, but I’d hardly say the same thing about Curtains Match the Windows or whatever it’s called. Oh, she’s got pink hair and pink eyes, whoopdidoo.

Yeah that was my reaction too
I wish there was a movement on TVTropes devoted to actual analysis. I've seen way better analysis on fictional works on Tumblr than on TVTropes. People may mock Superwholocks for reading too much into things, but at least they're actually trying to analyze works. But TVTropes's "NO NEGATIVITY UWU" attitude is awful. Why post your works in TVTropes and hope to improve on your craft if all you get are asspats?

People can’t handle actual criticism. Even if you make the best compliment sandwich you can, you will find writers/painters/whatever who cry the second you say something bad, lose all confidence, and then go onto social media and say that whoever criticized them is the nastiest skank bitch they ever met. I’ve been in too many situations where someone says a tiny thing negative about someone else’s work and then you can see them seethe.
So really, anyone who makes their own article on TVTropes isn’t trying to improve shit, they’re just in it for the asspats.
Even if TV Tropes does improve under the new owners, I doubt the toxic aspects of the site are going away anytime soon, so I hope you continue the service you do exposing the seedy underbelly of TV Tropes (and, if need be, All The Tropes). That said, you think things will improve anytime soon?
I’d like to think a change in ownership could help the site, because new blood always makes things a bit better for the first few days, but only time will tell how this plays out. In all likelihood there will be a few rule changes but most of the tropers will continue to do what they’ve done best/worst for the past however many years the site’s been up. You can change the government, but you can’t change the people.
Amusing how the "no editing other people's entries" rule means that most of the Dethroning Moment of Suck contributions are riddled with spelling and grammatical errors, presumably the result of being furiously hammered out in a blind, teeth-gnashing, spit-spewing rage.

Lord have mercy, I can’t imagine how awful the Sonic the Hedgehog page looks after Sonic Boom. Oh, my poor grammatically correct heart.
I've read some of your posts in which you rightly criticise people on TvTropes shoehorning tropes in, being racist, sexist and assholes in general. This is misconduct. However, if used properly, I believe this site can improve. What are your opinions regarding the concept itself of TvTropes though?

There’s a lot about TVTropes that just turns me off. Like I know how this blog is mostly about troper misconduct and pretension, but there are just too many useless tropes that don’t do anything for the site other than make it bigger. Maybe if there were less tropes that were better defined, maybe if they limited themselves to published work, maybe if they cut down on fandom stuff, it would be a better site.
Should TV Tropes cover everything, or just things worth covering?

Are there any other new admins I should know about?
Some of your followers don't seem to have heard the news that Fast Eddie has packed it in and sold the site to a team of new admins.

Yeah, I refresh to like 3 new messages every time I change tabs. Perhaps I need to announce it again.
FAST EDDIE IS STEPPING DOWN, Y’ALL. NEWS OF HIM LEAVING TO JOIN THE CIRCUS STILL UNCONFIRMED BUT HIGHLY UNLIKELY AND PROBABLY MADE UP. BY ME. JUST NOW.
