{{quote|''"When I was in the second grade, there was this other kid who always used to make fun of me. His name was Stupen Dumbello. I think he was from a foreign country. He was real fat and wore real thick glasses and had a bad complexion. One time after he made fun of me I said to him: "Someday, somebody's going to make fun of you." But I don't think they ever did."''

[[Trope
That is the core meaning of "averted". The writer just went past the trope. He ignored it, he forgot it existed, or it wasn't even a trope at all in his culture.
Line 12 ⟶ 13:
* Played straight: A villain plants an [[Incredibly Obvious Bug]] on a chair. Despite the green flashing light and periodic beep, [[The Hero]] does not notice it.
* Subversion: A villain plants an [[Incredibly Obvious Bug]] on a chair. [[The Hero]] finds it and throws it out, muttering, [[What an Idiot!|"Does he think I'm blind?"]]
* Averted: A villain plants a bug on a chair. It is small, camouflaged and unobtrusive, and goes undetected by the hero. The trope never comes into play.
If a trope was never averted in the past but is commonly averted now, you may have an [[Evolving Trope]], [[Cyclic Trope]], or [[Forgotten Trope]].
Even though [[There Is No Such Thing
On the other hand, [[Space Is Noisy]] is so incredibly common in science fiction (especially TV and [[Film]]) that a work that manages to avoid it is worth mentioning. We don't want to have to scroll through examples like:
* Averted in ''[[Harry Potter (
So aversions worth mentioning will generally follow this pattern: A supermajority of works that have element A will also have trope A, but work W has element A without trope A. If the number of aversions on a tropes page consist of at least a third of the examples, perhaps averting the trope isn't as notable as initially thought.
