Complaining about the simple use of the tropes (as opposed to particularly offensive variations) in said genres is rather short-sighted and pointless, since, well, it's in almost every other work in the genre. Can often be the cause of an Enforced Trope. Some Acceptable Breaks from Reality are Necessary Weasels to particular genres as well. Also compare the Anthropic Principle, where certain factors, no matter how improbable, have to occur for the story to happen. Contrast with the Writing Pitfall Index, an article listing tropes that can lead to real (versus merely perceived) flaws. See also Trope Enjoyment Loophole, for when somebody's Pet-Peeve Trope is handled in a way that makes it no longer annoying (or vice versa).

This doctrine denies copyright protection to elements that are considered necessary to a genre or setting. For example, a court of appeals in the United States has held that a movie set in the South Bronx is expected to show certain features associated with the South Bronx at the time in which the movie is set and that showing such features is therefore not copyrightable expression. |
