Bad Trope Ideas

Go To

You know how a trope needs to be common enough to be a trend on multiple pieces of media, but also have enough meaning to affect the story in a way that defines it? Well, not on my watch, it doesn’t. Post the name and description, and maybe even some examples, of a trope you’d never want to see on this wiki. It can be People Sit On Chairs, Too Rare To Trope, The Same But More (Specific), or any other violation of wiki policy. It can even be YMMV or Trivia, too!

Also, no references to Mario Pissing or Gay—especially not the latter. If you do that, I will holler your post. Please be original.

Without further ado, let’s begin.


Toriyama Art Style: The work was drawn by Akira Toriyama or someone impersonating his art style.

[up][up][up][up]Simon D. Hunter is covered by Not-So-Harmless Villain.

Red Lionfish Are the Real Monsters: When red lionfish (Pterois volitans) are portrayed as Always Chaotic Evil and the single worst things in a work of fiction. This seems redundant with my previous trope, Reprehensible Red Lionfish, from the previous page.

Both this and RRL would probably be covered by Fiendish Fish.

Red Lionfish Are Bastards: A trope similar to Red Lionfish Are the Real Monsters, but no comparison to other (suddenly now sapient) species is made. Again, Fiendish Fish is in play here.
