In short, I still think it needs some better explanation for what makes it different from the super-trope.

In short, I still think it needs some better explanation for what makes it different from the super-trope. The best indication I can find about what makes this trope different is from the media examples - basically, it seems to be a [[ConversedTrope Conversed]] version of AcceptableTargets - but that shouldn\\\'t have to be inferred like that, and there should also be more than two examples for this to deserve its own trope page.

Most cases where there are AcceptableTargets are going to be invoked in-universe. The audience can react negatively to, say, a transgender person who is portrayed completely sympathetic in-universe; that doesn\'t make that character an Acceptable Target, because the show didn\'t portray him/her this way.

But what makes groups AcceptableTargets is already about how they\\\'re portrayed in-universe - as a punchline or a villain rather than more respectfully. Audiences can still react negatively to, say, a transgender character who is portrayed completely sympathetically. That doesn\\\'t change the fact that it is a sympathetic portrayal rather than a case of AcceptableTargets.
