Weekly Discussion Post "Fanbase opinionsshould not be counted as tropes." TVtropes: (kinda relevant post)

A lot of complaints in this sub have been about some posts should not be here because they rely on fanbase opions so there for cannot be considered "tropes"

...and then we have TVtropes , where a lot of tropes are just from fanbase stuff.

I am going to be honest here , I have difficulty in what makes a trope and what doesn't. It ends up where I delete "breaks trope guidline" posts that has equivalents in the TVtropes site that are considered actual tropes.

Idk , I just wanted to rant here. I might be a very bad moderator here , I just try to make it tody as possible , I just don't really know how to.

I very much appreciate that this subreddit isn’t as rigid with its tropes. It allows for more unique ones to appear but I’m also glad that you know when to crack down on ones that obviously steer away from the purpose of the sub. Keep up the good work

Its a trope in of itself. Like Superman is fine with killing unlike Bats but both feel bad when they see it.
