#tbf its probably down to personal annoyance but ur going to compare this with like...

[llycaons]

the worst trope poll is really funny because some of the submissions are genuinely nauseating and some are just kind of annoying and some are like 'they make me sad :(' like I saw the karma houdini entry and laughed out loud

the idea that the JOB of the narrative is to dole out punishment and rewards as the heroes and villains 'deserve' is a hilariously childlike view of fiction and this is coming from someone who usually prefers happy endings. like. this is so stupid. a bad guy 'getting away with it' was banned by the fucking hayes code so these are the kinds of moral quandries the submitter is apparently dealing with 🙄 like sure you may not like it. but the WORST TROPE? EVER??
