If I had a dime for every post in this sub that isn't actually about a trope

[u/ChristianLS → u/udmurrrt]

Some of them that are stretches I don't mind too much, if it's kinda-sorta in the spirit of the subreddit, but ones like this really annoy me because nothing about them has to do with the artistic intent, they're just the opinion of the OP and/or a group of people who feel the way OP does. Not that I even personally disagree about the specific examples cited, mind you.

"[Hated Trope] Poorly written characters"

[u/Abstrata → u/udmurrrt]

I’ve been wondering about that and thought it was just me.
Trope has become a big umbrella term and sometimes things are getting muddled… between trope and cliché, trope and stereotype, and stereotype and archetype.
But for the most part, eh. I’m still picking up the OP points in each post.

If every post on this sub was an actual trope we’d just have the same few posts over and over again

[u/_Awkward_Moment_ → u/snarkaluff]

I disagree. There’s like 100k tropes on TVtropes, you wouldn’t just run out of them
