Zero Context Examples have been commented out. Add context before uncommenting. Removed Word Cruft. Per wiki policy, aversions are not noteworthy except for tropes and genres where aversions are rare enough to stand out. Dumb Blonde \"aversion\" s/b Adaptational Intelligence. Misuse of Killed Off For Real—that trope only applies to settings where most deaths are reversed by some means or revealed to be not what they seemed. Potholes in spoiler-tagged text defeat the purpose of spoiler tagging. Really Gets Around applies only to specific characters; for the cast as a whole, it\'s Everybody Has Lots Of Sex.
