This is not a trope that can be averted (at least with this example). And I wouldn't even say this is the averted case. This is an entirely different trope.

That was pretty much my reason for removing it. (Trope Decay is really annoying to me, and Averted Trope is one of the worst in that regard).
Moving contested example for discussion:
- Averted with the geth. In Mass Effect 3, they're given the choice between aiding the Reapers on their genocidal campaign by becoming indoctrinated slave soldiers, or getting destroyed by the resurgent quarian fleets. They choose the former. Legion wasn't amused.
Legion: It was apparently an acceptable trade.
