editing tvtropes is a fun hobby it’s like what if you spent hours of your free time grading middle school book reports only instead of middle schoolers they were written by adults just as pedantic and annoying as yourself and also they have the ability to delete all your feedback

#the way i have now TWICE had to explain that disagreeing with a ymmv item isn't a reason to delete it #about THE EXACT SAME GODDAMN YMMV ITEM #to TWO DIFFERENT PEOPLE #because people just CANNOT get it through their heads that 'i don't think your interpretation of that scene is right'#IS THE WHOLE REASON YMMV PAGES EXIST IN THE FIRST PLACE #so people could have a place to categorize parts of the work that other people might disagree with #like besties i get that the 'be curious not judgmental' scene is an iconic piece of ted lasso history and people are emotionally attached #but that doesn't negate the fact that ted says 'you should have asked if i played darts'#to a man whose very first question upon being challenged to a game of darts was 'do you like darts ted?'#why is it so hard to admit that some people think the message was muddled/doesn't work in context??#'oh but rupert wasn't really interested so it doesn't count' ted still could have answered honestly!#but he didn't! because he was scamming him! and that was extremely cool and sexy of him but it was still a scam!#'don't judge a book by its cover' doesn't work when the book is deliberately hiding every part of itself but the cover!#you don't agree with that opinion? damn if only there was a dedicated page for subjective tropes......#a page for tropes where the degree to which they fit the story depends on your interpretation....#much like how.... say... the gas mileage of a model of car might vary depending on who's driving it... your mileage may vary.........
