Topic on Talk:Exploited Trope

Hm. I wonder if your example on Pepper&Carrot might not be an unusual implementation of Painting the Medium instead of exploiting Breaking the Fourth Wall.

Regarding your question, though... yeah, I suppose that most cases of "weaponizing" a trope -- the example that comes to my mind is a fanfic where a self-insert hero weaponized Wrong Genre Savvy -- would be exploiting the trope.

Anyone else want to weigh in on this?
