Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.
Unfortunate Implications: Even the introduction to Tarzan of the Apes in later editions notes that parts of the book are pretty frickin' racist, and were influenced by eugenics[1] and pseudoscience[2].
In the original books, Tarzan liked to use rope as a weapon, dropping nooses down from the treetops to bind and choke his foes. This isn't so bad on its own, but the fact that Tarzan often used dangling nooses to hang and strangle the African natives from trees draws some uncomfortable similarities to lynching. With this in mind, Tarzan's fondness of rope is understandably left out of most adaptations.
↑ Constantly referring to non-Caucasians and lower classes as lower orders of humanity
↑ The notion that you can use fingerprints to determine race, as well as the overall Lamarckist slant.
