TVTropes is not meant to be taken internally.

Truth be told I was only pissed that it got to the point where fictional character are being called out on it. This kind of thing is not really even shown near where I live.

This thread she be called, TVTropes made my christmas (no offence to you Kyanbu) because the fact that according to TV Tropes

A popular Meme on the Eight Bit Theater Forums is to mention the semi-non-existant (yeah, semi) Fanfiction "Colors of Magic, Colors of Love" and to jokingly suggest making it Canon. What's this fanfiction about, you ask? The pairing Black Mage/Red Mage. UAGH

I'm blaming fifth for this one.

Saying it's about Red Mage and Black Mage really is oversimplifying things. I mean, pretty much any pairing that can possibly be crammed into CoMCoL is canon.

Hell, I've been thinking of shoving a Tyler Durden + Jack Fight Club chapter in.

You, um... you realize that this is, in fact, kinda the definition of the trope you linked, right? In an attempt to avoid the appearance of stereotyping the female characters, you overcompensate and make them all "non-stereotypical" in a similar way.

And I did.

Tsunadai Mitsurugi - egotistic Jerk ass

Sarina Phantom - Jerk ass prankster

Queeny Aroma - Sane Corporate genus,

Siren Gale - Psychopath

Pandora Rox - Bookworm, glass cannon,

Annabel Vandalia - Femme Fetale

Silvia Phantom - Dead parent, but was the sympathic atoner

Alexcia Rain - Female Boisterous Bruiser, trigger happy mercenary

Xaniras Vandalia - Angst Assassin, pyro

Jetah Rodgers - Sane Bounty Hunter

Joan Vandalia - the healer

Trixy - Insane Psychopath, Pirate

Kage - Anti Villain

And each of them are very well rounded making them as human as possible (even the vampires get this treatment). And are much more complex then what I've just stated.

Grow a thicker skin for god's sake. We're not politically correct here and while I have every bit of respect for every race creed whatever, sometimes if I want to poke fun at something, I'm gonna do it.

Grow a set folks. The internet honestly, honestly isn't serious business.

Hahaha okay no but seriously October 2009? He's been here like exactly long enough to see that sort of thing officially is tolerated here and that administrators will actively defend it and attack people for being pissed off by it. Honestly what on Earth do you expect from the guy?

I think Mashirosen just wanted to scare the new guy.

My first instinct is to say "Fuck you and the angry little horse you rode in on for saying that to me, you histrionic drama junkie", but that would be Going Nuklear, wouldn't it?

Kyanbu, get a goddamn grip and get away from your project for a while. There is a universe outside your head and you need to spend more time there.
