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.
Whenever a kid starts screaming and throwing a fit.
One woman talked about how much her daughter LOVED pageants. Cue said daughter spending the whole episode either crying/screaming/whining.
A weird combo of this was a mom who had a horrible daughter who had been a brat in a previous episode. The mother insisted it was due to undiagnosed ADD (note: ADD does not equal threats and attempts to carry them out). In their next episode, the mother kept talking about how much better things were with the meds (and they even showed the daughter taking them on camera), and after each comment the editors put in the daughter doing something horrible, including exceptionally violent threats/actions (I'll smack you. Get out of my face. trying to hurt her mother. etc) and the girl being a little brat (she gives herself an almost-papercut, punches her mother, and runs to the camera screaming about how her mom tried to cut her finger off).
Tropers and tropettes, may I introduceMackenzie? Probably one of the... scariest kids this show has seen. "Nini is a hard-workin' lady!" indeed.
Oh, God, Alana. "A dollar makes me holler, honey boo-boo!" Combine that with behaviour like this and her mother, and you have an instant Tumblr sensation!
