TV Tropes

Primero leed esta tira de xkcd.

Luego no digáis que no estabais advertidos si empezáis con TV Tropes. Si se os da bien el inglés podéis pasaros horas enganchados. Pinchad en cualquier categoría de la izquierda y no sabréis cuándo parar.

Por enxiemplo, la entrada Katanas are just better (un buen punto de partida) empieza así:

"Most gamers are Nippophiles — the popularity of ninja and samurai makes this fairly clear. Not only this, Japan is the country of origin of a large number of games. This trope is essentially a manifestation of that love for Western pop-culture conception of Japanese history and culture. Rule Of Cool says swords are cooler than guns (except for a certain type of gun), and Japan, historically, didn't take to guns as extensively as the West and in fact repressed their development. This means that in some games or fantasy universes where Eastern and Western archetypes exist side by side, such as knights in shining armor vs. samurai, ninja vs. thieves, and so forth, the Japan-themed selection tends to just be better. Flashier, more honorable, more skilled, sometimes portrayed in a more positive fashion. (The overwhelming positive representation of ninja in anime and fantasy is an example.) In some extreme cases, anything Eastern/Japanese is just inherently better, logic be damned."
