Considering some of the drama I've experienced on this site (not thinking of anyone in particular; just in general) I don't think that description is entirely inaccurate.

This could be zig-zagged:

['Cept the tropes should probably be related more closely to the forum as a forum.]

But TVTropes was not designed to inflict what it inflicts. It simply happens to be very good at it.

Yeah... I think I get what you mean. I can't think of any tropes at the moment for the forum as a whole rather than Asperger's/autism.

A challenge!

Oh, you two were talking about TV Tropes? I thought you were talking about WrongPlanet. My bad.

The fact that forum horrors and TVTropes could get confused (figuratively) says a lot about TVTropes..

...There's drama on this site?

Anyway, I think I found a trope for WP as a whole!

It should be inverted though.

Some situations can lead to cases of Large Ham.
