  • 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.

In that vein, there ''are'' things that are simply too urgent and dangerous to overlook.  That includes, but isn’t limited to, a crime scene, a fire, or a person in serious distress.  Logically, the first course of action should be to escape or minimize the tragedy.  And yet, some people simply find it interesting to put it on social media first… without regard for anyone’s well being or whether they can help out on the matter in question.

Trope Workshop Guidelines


Want to know just how addictive social media can get?  Some people get so immersed in this, they don’t realize – or care – there’s a conflict or a fire in the area.  For example: a tsunami coming at my house?  Take a picture and put it on Insta!

Social media are commonly used for telling others about what’s happening around you.  Not just talking to each other, but to circulate news.  And they can be really fun and addictive… really addictive.

In that vein, there are things that are simply too urgent and dangerous to overlook.  That includes, but isn’t limited to, a crime scene, a fire, or a person in serious distress.  Logically, the first course of action should be to escape or minimize the tragedy.  And yet, some people simply find it interesting to put it on social media first… without regard for anyone’s well being or whether they can help out on the matter in question.

Sure, it’s all newsworthy, but that doesn’t mean you can let tragedy happen to you or others or not prevent it.  In plain English, thanks to its roots in human nature, it’s 100 percent Truth in Television.

Compare and contrast Intrepid Reporter or Apocalyptic Log.  Related to New Media Are Evil, Everything Is Online, and Bystander Syndrome.  Sub-trope of Skewed Priorities .
