TV Tropes is a wiki devoted to classifying the tricks and trades of writing fiction, primarily focusing on television shows and characters. It used to contain an entry on Conservapedia, treating the site as a show or book, in which Andrew Schlafly is treated as a character in order to mock his values.

Problems with TV Tropes
Bloat
Users of the site have too much time on their hands and are obsessed with television shows, such as the vacuous occult teen drama Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Consequently, they need excuses to make new pages. As a result, most of the entries are over specialized variations of other entries. Effectively every individual scene, character or theme, no matter how specific, can be turned into an article, even if they are not tropes as such. The official policy is that 'There Is No Such Thing As Notability', the only qualifying factor for page creation is that the subject must actually exist.
Soapboxing
A non-fiction educational wiki has been shoe-horned into TV Tropes as a way for the liberal editors to criticize it.

Inconsistent use of tropes
In certain cases, in particular with YMMV tropes, the criteria used for determining trope applicability have been deemed inconsistent, even when there was a rubric for including them. An infamous example of this is the Complete Monster trope, reserved for the worst of the worst among villains, where some villains get removed for qualifying as 'lacking in the heinous standard' even when said villains have been depicted as being truly evil, such as outright enjoying jobs at assassination and having zero qualms with murdering children, or even having another qualifying despite their showing genuinely redeemable traits. One of the excuses for this inconsistency is the claim that different stories have differing moral standards, implying that they engage in Moral relativism. This also ends up contradicted when one character is labeled as a Complete Monster and the other in exactly the same work isn't considered such despite both characters doing exactly the same sort of thing that got one of them labeled as such in the first place and having very similar reactions. In addition, this also results in various other Wikias, such as Villains Wiki, using the Complete Monster trope alongside rigidly enforcing these aspects even when they were incorrect and in explicit violation against Wikia's encyclopedic policies on POV, and also tended to require majority opinion to even qualify (see also Groupthink). In addition, despite qualifying as YMMV, several entries relating to unintentionally sympathetic or unintentionally unsympathetic at times get removed due to the claim that they are insulting to the characters. Although TV Tropes eventually because so mismanaged that All The Tropes was created specifically to fix mistakes made on TV Tropes, it has recently started falling into the same problems with the Complete Monster trope as with TV Tropes, including utilizing differing moral standards for villains, with it eventually resulting in the outright removal of the Complete Monster trope from being used as examples on All the Tropes (and the trope itself only being relegated to a single article).
Liberal bias
The site tends to promote several liberal biases. Poptropica comics. For instance, some of the tropes, in particular YMMV tropes, can make negative statements about President Bush, yet if a negative statement was made regarding Barack Obama, they remove it under the pretense of how it's never good to negatively comment on a President. They are also pro-evolution and anti-Christian as can be seen on their tropes page for Christian movies like God's Not Dead.[1] On these pages, the 'Rule of Cautious Editing Judgment' [2] and their rule against 'Complaining About Shows You Don't Like' [3] are disregarded. Similarly, despite having a rule forbidding listing any real-world examples that are more recent than four decades, the Vote Early, Vote Often trope page's real life examples section explicitly rejects the notion that voter fraud was widespread (as well as citing the fake news site Washington Post as its proof for being rare) during the 2010 decade and falsely implies that Republicans and Conservatives simply were delusional for believing it, and even accusing the Republican congressional candidate of North Carolina of doing the same.[4]

- In the United States, voter fraud is very rare but has become a major rallying cry for the Republican Party, particularly in The New '10s as justification for strict voter ID laws. Donald Trump has made sweeping accusations against Democrats, from claiming that millions of illegal immigrants voted against him in California in 2016, to claiming people voted multiple times via donning disguises in the 2018 midterm elections. This was widely mocked by people tweeting multiple images purporting to be the disguises they wore to cast more than one ballot.
- To boot, when a credible account of widespread fraud finally was discovered, it was an operative working for a Republican congressional candidate in North Carolina, who stands accused of harvesting hundreds of absentee ballots.

Poptropica is a 'free' online game aimed at children. Better Than It Sounds. You start by customizing a character with a randomized name and then hop into a blimp, where a map appears. There are currently[when?] (as of January '12) 23 islands you can explore, and more keep being developed and added. You will need to accomplish a quest on each island, ranging from finding villagers' lost possessions, rescuing space princesses, jumping through time and space to fix a Bad Future or defeating pirates on the high sea.
Every time you finish a quest you get a medallion and 100 credits to spend at the Poptropica store, where you can buy costumes and whatnot for your character. If you want more credits you’ll need to buy them with some real cash, luckily none of the stuff you can buy at the store is necessary for defeating the game. You can also (with your real money, of course) buy a membership, which will give temporary access to all the stuff in the store along with early access to islands that aren’t out yet.
If you like the game you can save your character and choose a username and password so you can come back to it later. You can also choose to start with a new character every single time you visit the website, along with resetting any progress you’ve made on your quests. Up to you. Check it out.

- Dystopia: The Bad Future on Time Tangled Island. This is also what 24 Carrot Island looks like when you first arrive.
- Easy Come, Easy Go: After Ned Noodlehead pulls the Big Damn Heroes moment on Super Power Island, he gets the medallion that you usually get after finishing an island's quest, but he will trade it to you for a hot dog.
- Drunk on Milk: Seems to be a common possibility on Poptropica. All the kegs and barrels are labeled Soda, Grape Juice, Root Beer. The crate marked Loch-Pop on Cryptids Island is even called 'The Strong Stuff' by your character..
- Egopolis: Big Nate Island
- Empathic Environment: When you first arrive in 24 Carrot Island, a town with a failing economy, the sky and hills are depressing shades of brown and tan.

- In a Single Bound: Your character's awesome jumping skills. This skill is very, very useful for getting on top of buildings and such. *wink wink*
- Instant Awesome, Just Add Dragons: Simultaneously inverted and played straight on Red Dragon Island - at the climax, the Ax Crazy Red Dragon goes on a rampage to destroy the city of Edo. On the other hand, there's the benevolent Cloud Dragon, who's controlled by you to stop the Red Dragon from burning Edo to the ground.

Senior #2: Hey! No kids allowed here!
Senior #3: Go sell your cookies somewhere else!
Senior #4: I'm taking a nap!
Senior #5: Not interested!

- Surprise Creepy: Can be a source of this, with things like the Jersey Devil on Cryptids Island and the voice saying 'Looking for someone?' on Ghost Story island. Although the latter is mainly because Poptropica very rarely has sound or music.
- Taken for Granite: Hercules. He's fine with it, though.
- Time Travel: The theme of Time Tangled Island.
- Ungrateful Bastard: Inverted. 99% of the time, helping out an NPC will earn you a crucial item and their thanks. Hell, even will reward you for helping take care of Linus in the pumpkin patch!
- Unusually Uninteresting Sight: No matter how cool/awesome/ridiculously flashy your costume is (you have the option to dress up as a hamburger, a princess, a ninja, and a pop star if you wish, among other things), the island inhabitants don't take notice of it.
