Your blatant disregard for English grammar is enough to show that you are definitely not among "the best writers" no matter what your gender is. Lack of capitalization and run-on sentences are things that grade-school writers know enough to avoid. You need to learn how to write well enough to get your ideas across before you can hope to have a new trope accepted here. It isn't the wiki Moderators who you need to convince; it's the Tropers as a whole who vote on trope launches.

You also ignored the page All The Tropes:Trope Workshop Guidelines, which is linked from the Trope Workshop page. I can tell because All The Tropes:How to Write An Example is linked from All The Tropes:Trope Workshop Guidelines, and the entries in your proposed trope candidate do not follow the guidelines on All The Tropes:How to Write An Example.

Yes, we do have rules here.

Also, it is extremely unusual for one's first edit here to be a proposal for a new trope. One normally shows that one knows how to write and how to trope by updating and adding to existing pages, gaining a reputation here, and building a history of unreverted changes before proposing something major like a new trope. This is not a hard-and-fast rule, but if nobody knows who you are, why should they vote in favour of your proposal? (That might not be fair, but it is how Real Life works.)

And a word to the wise: If you're going to claim that one of our existing Useful Notes pages is "lying", either you'd better have peer-reviewed evidence to back up that claim, or you should be prepared to see your claim deleted by another Troper.

I am rejecting your contribution. You are free to appeal this rejection to any of the other moderators, all of whom have been pinged in this post. (All of us, by the way, are male. At least two of us are paid published writers, and you can't get much better at writing than that.)
