[[Captain Obvious|Fiction is not reality]]. While fiction rarely shows the [[Deconstructed Trope|negative consequences of a trope]], reality is not as forgiving. Every trope here can have serious if not fatal repercussions in [[Reality Ensues|reality]] if they are played straight. Unfortunately '''this is more dangerous than most people realize'''. Even though most real people don't consider fiction a reliable source of information, '''people don't usually don't remember where they learned stuff from''', even just in the broad categories of 'reliable source' and 'unreliable source'. Television Is Trying to Kill Us may originate as a case of [[Reality Is Unrealistic]]. See also [[
