I had not read it until now. Seems fair. I laughed out loud reading the entry for Aspies.

What do mean by "reading the TV tropes page for this site"?

Are you saying that there is "TV tropes" site. And that that site lists references to this site on TV shows?

Prepare to waste loads of time. It's an epic site, with a search function even.

Don't sweat it. New members aren't allowed to post links immediately because it deters spammers. It took me less time to search it up than it took people to ask for a link.

I went to their site and searched it. Not many tropes for it, at least not yet. I wonder if I should or any of us should register to add some more examples?

I can definitely relate to the "Don't you dare pity me!" and "Acceptable Target - Autism Speaks" tropes.

Of course, there is plenty of stuff here that can be listed under "Funny", "Tear Jerker","Nightmare Fuel", and even "Sweet Dreams Fuel" pages. And then there's "deadpan snarker", "comically serious", and "literal-minded".

Probably, the fewer tropes the better. I see no reason to act more cartoonish than comes naturally. :lol:

a page on a site that describes......everything.....by listing the tropes they carry or are associated with.

don't think WP will be on the telly anytime soon unless a member kills someone again.
