Line 46:
* [[Hypocritical Humor|Partially subverted]] in TV Tropes Wiki, where the word subversion is often used to mean [[Averted Trope|aversion]], [[Satire, Parody, Pastiche|parody]], straight use in a comical context, etc.
** Also subverted outside of TV Tropes Wiki, where a totally different definition of subversion exists, unrelated to subverted expectations.
* A more concrete, media-inspired example: in science fiction settings with transporter devices, time travel or faster-than-light travel, the viewer may be reminded that a slight miscalculation could cause a traveler, spacecraft or time machine to materialize inside solid rock. This almost never happens on screen. At the end of the 2nd season of the 2000's ''[[Battlestar Galactica (2004 TV series)|Battlestar Galactica]]'', {{spoiler|a spacecraft actually does "jump" inside solid rock, killing the crew immediately}}. Actually showing this instead of hinting at its danger (which the audience has come to expect from the genre) is an example of a subversion.
* While some may use [[wikipedia:Subversion (software)|Subversion]] as their [[wikipedia:Revision control|revision control system]] due to the fixed bugs and better-tweaked features, most get by with the more common [[wikipedia:Concurrent Versions System|CVS]].
** A lot of people have been switching to Subversion, though. Then there are those who use [http://git-scm.com/ Git], and the fewer still who use [http://bazaar-vcs.org Bazaar].
