    I check TV Tropes from time to time because it is useful to have a database with media tropes and to my experience it’s mostly exhaustive.

    But man, that site really irks me. I hate the overly casual, witty, irregular style that every page has while attempting to be funny, and I hate when they do incomplete hints at stuff (ex. “in some episode of show X” bruh, which episode??). For a wiki-style site, I’d really prefer the more neutral tone Wikipedia has.

    And on a less important note, I also hate how the articles in TV Tropes pretend that the trope names are some sort of agreed consensus in the scientific community, when most of them are never referred to by those names outside of that site.

      NPoV seems to be a really hard thing to keep.
