"Oh, so you're from Troperville? I'm going there next month, how is it?" "Hell on Earth." When a character for whatever reason hates the place where they were born and raised. Maybe the people were jerks, maybe they disagreed philosophically, maybe they didn't like the smell. Whatever the reason, before or over the course of story they leave it, either to protect the townspeople's sorry asses or to get revenge, or because they were kicked out. Small Town Boredom and Big Town Boredom are both a Sub-Trope- this has a far more negative emotion involved and is often at a larger scale. Compare Never Accepted in His Hometown, and contrast A Hero to His Hometown, although it is very possible someone could dislike their hometown and still be considered a hero there. |

Challenge of the GoBots; Counter-X much prefers Earth to Gobotron, as there's very little use there for a robot like him who turns into a submarine. (Gobotron seems more like a giant space station than a terrestrial planet, and as a result, has no oceans.) | |

Tress of the Emerald Sea: Averted; Tress is noted to actually like living in her tiny, dull town on a barren island in the middle of the sea. Hoid notes how unusual this is for this kind of story, where the main character is supposed to long for adventure and dream of the wider world. By the end of the book, she's undergone enough Character Development that she starts to play it straight, and the thought of going back to her old boring life after all the adventures she's had makes her sad. | |

Often discussed on RuPaul's Drag Race. Many contestants come from rural towns and/or the Deep South, and their background involved moving to a more queer-friendly city where they could safely perform drag. For instance, Season 4 finalist Phi Phi O'Hara was originally from San Antonio, Texas, which at the time she was growing up was terribly homophobic due to its large military presence. She moved to Chicago as a young adult where she started her drag career.note To San Antonio's credit, Phi Phi acknowledged that the city's present-day atmosphere has vastly improved from when she was growing up in the 90's. | |

Off the Page and into Life is set in Pageson, a vaguely Southern but never-actually-plotted-on-the-map small town, where there's nothing for the local teens to do but get on each other's nerves and cause trouble. Most of the cast can't stand Pageson, but due to circumstances (natural disasters, the economy, the fact that they're reincarnations of literary characters and a Mad God is messing with things to keep them where they are...), no one ever leaves. | |

When one of Legion's more malevolent alters threatens to blow the place sky high, Rahne — normally one of the more moral New Mutants — says "go ahead", and when asked later if she actually meant it doesn't answer. | |
