Troper Tales are far scarier.

Troper Tales are far scarier. This troperrecently (A few weeks ago) got into a....little fight with his longtime nemesis, last day of (high)school, he may not be coming(droping out, my nemesis, not me) back, revenge bluh bluh merger childish things. He decides to come at me with a meter stick with a rather intimidating war cry. I merely tilt my head ever so slightly and plunk, it hits the wall behind my head, visibly dumbfounded he then attempts to slash me. Big mistake, my headphones got unplugged from my Ipod touch, and my favorite song was just beginning. Nightwish's song she is my sin and so begins my epic battle, he keeps slashing and lunging at me all while I dodge his blows and strokes. He attempts another headshot but I deftly grabbed it from him, he fell face first onto the floor, then I said one of my favorite badass boasts almost immediately afterword "On your knees...I want you to beg for forgiveness." my class's resident Video game gerd (Her own word she made, a combination of geek and nerd, she calls herself this all the time) said almost YELLING "Holy SHIT dude! That was awesome!" unfortunately his Girlfriend didnt think so, and tossed him the other meter stick and said "Kick that little snot into next year!"(Even though im taller then him he's like 5'4 im 5'7) and we exchanged blows which was eerily similar to aboved mentioned Final Fantasy movie, I then disarmed him and then said, "I hold no ill will, nor is this a personal matter, but thanks for the workout non-the less." He simply bowed his head in shame, his girlfriend having pure spasms of RAGE, chiding him that he couldn't beat a video game playing ultimate geek face(highly immature for a 16 year old girl I know), but I couldn't here them over the applause I was getting from the other geeks and my fellow peers, my teacher ( a substitute) woke up from her nap and simply said "what did I miss?" we all (except for my nemesis and his GF) begun laughing uncontrollably for a few minutes. I deadpanned afterwords "Nothing at all ma'am, just having some fun, listening to music, drawing, epic one sided battles..." She shrugged and went back to sleep.

Raskovnik nailed a really good one. I also remember reading one where a super geeky guy fought off a huge frothing mad bully, who proceeded to exclaim "This guy..... isn't human!!!!"
Note to TV Tropers - real life is not an anime or a video game. People don't really talk while fighting, and fights aren't these epically choreographed dances.

Draco in Leather Pants has some of the creepiest fan-gushing I've ever seen anywhere.
...oh you mean ones that are SUPPOSED to be scary.

I also remember reading one where a super geeky guy fought off a huge frothing mad bully, who proceeded to exclaim "This guy..... isn't human!!!!" This troper took a few levels when, after years of being a Woobie so pitiful Shinji would say what the heck is wrong with you, I had enough of a girl I liked always going for this tall, blond guy. When they were talking right in front of me in the street and holding arms and talking and all that, I said, "Shut. The. Hell. Up." The boy looks around and walks over, trying to look menacing. Martial arts studies come in. I take a punch to the forehead and then slide under and punch him in the stomach, he goes backwards and I land another one to his face. I then go berserk and full body tackle him. He managed to crawl away, and say, "That kid...is inhuman!"

Nightmare Fuel - Real Life. They've deleted it, though. There was some stuff listed on there that was beyond messed up and definitely scary. But it also had a lot of complete bullcrap examples too. One dimwit I remember actually mentioned he was in science class and got scared at of all things a camera zooming out of the universe to show how big and vast it truly is. There is nothing scary about the universe being humongous. There were some others there that even more pathetic than that but I can't remember them. That's always been a big problem with TV Tropes, one person assumes how they feel about a trope is the general consensus and lists it as absolute example. And ditto on the Troper Tale sections. There have been a LOT of creeps on that site. I highly recommend watching the This Troper series on YouTube if you want to some specific examples of them.

Hey this girl I had a crush on had a nice boyfriend and was having a nice walk. I sperg out on them and punch the guy in the gut, how cool am I? I also like how it just ends there. The girl is completely inconsequential to the fight, even though she's the whole reason they fought. I'm shocked it didn't end with the troper grabbing her, making out with her right there, and then flying back to his dojo to make many heirs to his vast fortune of animes.

Honestly TV Tropers users have to be pound for pound the biggest bunch of pansies on the internet.
I'm glad they got rid of most of the underwear tropes as those were just creepy.

Honestly TV Tropers users have to be pound for pound the biggest bunch of pansies on the internet. I'm glad they got rid of most of the underwear tropes as those were just creepy. What you don't think that a page detailing the moments when a little girl has a panty shot is worthy of staying on their website? But yeah, tropers are shitlords. A month back or so, Jesu Otaku requested that they remove some personal stuff from her page (mostly hanging shit on her for mocking their favorite anime, making jokes about bronies, daring to have broken up with a boyfriend or having initially had harsh opinions regard homosexuality dating back from being raised in a very christian household which she has since changed) Even then, she just polited requested that they remove some material that was inappropriate or pried to heavily into her private life. Here's the typical troper response. That's right. If a creator wants their page removed than they can go f*** themselves.
