I've always dabbled in RNG because I can't be assed to make a decision on my own, but for the tvtropes bot, I was browsing it wondering about a way to make it less rabbit holey, but while doing that I stumbled upon their opinions about sexualization of minors in fic. I was feeling pissy about their userbase and TOS using the wrong terms to discuss child exploitation and also didnt wanna support their ad revenue as a result.

So on github I found a scraped dataset of over 20,000 tropes and their laconics by some miracle of search and so while I originally wanted to make something self contained and assign tags to certain tropes, the task would be herculean by itself, but seeing the bots on mastodon and the cw system on aethy made me try.

It's actually pretty challenging to keep up with posting because I'm using postybirb and not anything automatic yet. If I had it my way though, I'd buy a cheap vps for the sake of it and other bots, but I'd have to learn how to manage that too, (not to mention have moneys)
