    Back when I was an active user, I learned a lot of people only take in one piece of media and nothing else. I’m sure the site culture has shifted since then, but I remember a ton of entries exaggerating how extreme or unique basic tropes in My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic are.

    A lot of tropes were also constantly referred to as “anime tropes” and people suggested Japanese names for them when there was nothing about them that was unique to anime or Japanese culture.
