All The Tropes:Trope Decay: Difference between revisions

Sometimes, the idea of what a [[Trope]] is actually about gets lost somewhere along the way. Either new entries miss the point somehow, or the author [[Did Not Do the Research|just read the trope title]] and [[I Thought It Meant|thought they got the gist of it]]. This includes things like describing just anything remotely scary as Nightmare Fuel, when Nightmare Fuel was originally intended to be things you found unintentionally scary as a kid. (Hence why [[Accidental Nightmare Fuel]] was created and [[Nightmare Fuel]] repurposed) Remember though, that [[Tropes Are Flexible]]—what you think is decay may just be unusual usage on second glance.
