The media to which [[This Very Wiki]] is devoted ''generally'' exhibit greater sensitivity now than in the past, but sometimes something appears that... ''raises eyebrows''. Even when authors are being careful with story elements, it is impossible for one or a couple of creators to really consider ''every'' perspective of the audience and just how certain tropes can be construed as [[Berserk Button|troublesome.]] Especially when you consider just how diverse human beings are and that audiences that were ignored in the past now demand representation and respect.
Line 23:
* Stereotypes of any kind.
* Religious subject matter.
* [[Double Standard|Double Standards]] and sexism.
* Sexual orientation and transgendered related material, especially due to the [[Values Dissonance]] many people have regarding homosexuality and transgenderism.
* Parallels between fantasy/science fiction works and the real world, especially with [[Fantasy Counterpart Culture|Fantasy Counterpart Cultures]].
* Subject matter related to disabilities and handicapped people.
* [[Acceptable Lifestyle Targets|Lifestyle choices]] such as being childless, single, or married.
* Any of the [[Rape Tropes]], especially in the hands of a clumsy author.
