Line 1: {{trope}} [[File:refuge.png\|link=All Star Batman and Robin\|frame\| ~~<small>~~ It's [[Crosses the Line Twice\|so absurdly offensive it's hilarious]]! There's a [[Author Appeal\|scantily dressed]] [[Drop-Dead Gorgeous\|corpse]], an [[Complete Monster\|unrepentant murderer]] [[Monster Clown\|who thinks this murder was hilarious]], a [[Transsexualism\|transgender Nazi]] wearing [[Those Wacky Nazis\|swastika]] [[Stripperiffic\|pasties]], [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking\|and]] [[The Joker]]'s [[Out of Character\|scowling]]! ~~</small>~~ ]] Line 7: Characters can get away with outrageous acts by making them overblown to the point of absurdity. Toning them down to realistic levels would be more offensive, either to logic or to morality. This is because, for works and characters both, pushing things past a certain level automatically knocks things into [[Genre Blindness]]. If it's genre convention, then it's okay. But if it's toned down to moderation, then the audience will think about ~~it -- and~~it—and [[Fridge Logic\|the thought]] makes it cease to be okay. The name comes from a quote from the Roman historian Tacitus (''Annals'', book XI ch. 26): Line 51: [[Category:Laws and Formulas]] [[Category:The Plan]] [[Category:~~index~~Index]] [[Category:Refuge in Audacity]]
