Get the Take out the trash mug.A person who instead of trying to experience a show/movie,book or game. Will instead run to the website TV Tropes and only pay attention to the most negative comments on the site. Immediately believe every word and base there entire opinion on what was said. Going so far as to argue with wrong information against people who have actually experienced the item in question. They can be hard to recognize in public, but you can quickly spot them online by there negative comments that are either uninformed or lack any information. It is unwise to engage in a friendship with TV Trope Trash as they will change what there hate targets to things you care about. There only goal in friendships is to get you to be as bitter and judgmental as they are. While all most the same, they cannot be considered keyboard warriors because they do not choose to go on social websites or speak in chat rooms. Instead only focusing on digital entertainment or books.
