All Men Are Perverts |
| | Black Critic Guy (Web Video) / int_129749df |
comment |
All Men Are Perverts: Thoroughly dislikes this stereotype and makes sure to call it out in his reviews. He doesn't tend to find anime guys who constantly perv on girls to be funny at all, more disturbing and predatory. |

Broke the Rating Scale |
| | Black Critic Guy (Web Video) / int_24fbee90 |
comment |
Broke the Rating Scale: Back when he gave ratings, he'd have a 5 point rating for most anime...then on rare occasions (outside of the month of August), he'd give really bad anime a 0 out of 5. For the most part, this trope has been outright averted since he stopped using a star rating system. |

Alternative Character Interpretationinvoked: Tends not to appreciate "comedic" voyeurs and molesters, instead seeing them as predatory and disturbed. Several (e.g. the three pervs from Green Green) hold places on his "Worst Characters" lists for this reason. |

Not Distracted by the Sexy: Tony enjoys fanservice so long as he feels it's done well. If it's done badly or just used to try to compensate for a weak plot and characters, he's not interested. |
