| | Overused Sci-Fi Settings (Website) / int_1e763245 |
comment |
Characters from more urban, cosmopolitan upbringing, while not neccesarily depicted as unlikeable, are almost invariably written to be more cynical, snobbish, or dubious, and less charismatic than the wholesome protagonist.note This is despite the fact that characters from urban environments as a rule are more likely to be street smart, liberal, and tolerant with respect to people from different racial or cultural backgrounds and lifestyles in comparison to characters who spent their formative years in sparsely populated small town or rural American areas which are noted for frequently being very conservative as well as racially and culturally homogenous. |

Bunny-Ears Lawyer |
| | Overused Sci-Fi Settings (Website) / int_61b8f9e2 |
comment |
Prodigies or other super genius types always turn down a more lucrative or secure career in their field (usually science or engineering) in place of being in the more dangerous military/starfleet/police lines of work. The reason being a variation of "It's just more fun and exciting" or "Just to prove that I can do it" (both reasons that a real admissions interviewer in these fields would probably reject an applicant) And they always seem to meet all of the requirements for admission and matriculation, despite never having developed those skills that one would expect a military candidate to have, such as athleticism, coordination, teamwork, and leadership. And on top of that, they are allowed to be a Bunny-Ears Lawyer despite having chosen (not been drafted into) professions where conformity is expected. |

Regional cultures and ethnicities retain the same tropes as today and yesterday, no matter how far into the future. British persons still drink tea, have a stiff upper lip, and may still have nostalgic feelings for the British colonialist period. Americans are still blunt, outspoken and direct go-getters, and represent Eagle Land type 1. If White, they are still likely to idolize the Cowboy image. Americans from the Southern states still have all the trademark Dixie tropes, but only the good parts. African Americans, may still retain certain Soul Brotha or Sassy Black Woman stereotypes. Irish people are still bellicose, hardcore drinkers. Italian or Hispanic characters are still the Latin Lover if male, or fiery and feisty if female. |

The Federation |
| | Overused Sci-Fi Settings (Website) / int_7d5324cf |
comment |
Alien race planets and names always have the same English language format: Aliens being named after their home planet with the suffix "-an" or "-ian". For example, natives of the hypothetical planet Rigel being called "Rigellans" or "Rigellians". An example of the reverse; "Talaxians" will be from the planet "Talaxia" This is even the case when said planets are most likely not the local name but perhaps a human Federation designation or bastardization for the name of the word for the world in question.note Example: Rigel is an Earth astronomical designation for a star in the constellation of Orion. |

A character in a futuristic setting has a fetish or fixation on a certain historical period, even if that historical period in reality would be restrictive or unwelcoming to persons of his/her gender, race, color, or ethnicity. Computer or holographic simulations of said historical setting will usually display Politically Correct History, even when the characters would know better. |

Despite globalization in recent decades, ever increasing ethnic diversity, general cynicism and disillusionment regarding "The American Way", and despite future world wars in the work's mythology, mainstream American culture of the future still revolves around classic images of Americana (aka Eagle Land type I, America The Beautiful): baseballnote despite the fact that even in modern recent decades, baseball has been completely eclipsed by American football as the definitive American sport; baseball, now has an image of being glacial, dull, and appealing only to much older folks., rock and rollnote no metal, punk, alternative, or progressive rock allowed though as those are typically seen as not mainstream or "clean" enough, and they also tend to be regarded as mostly British or European in origin. So we are left with mostly Elvis, Springsteen, and a very small handful of others., cheeseburgers, white picket fences, Mom's apple pie, cowboys, The American Dream, the Nuclear Family, idealized images of historical U.S. presidents such as Washington, Lincoln, etc. |

Black actors in science fiction offerings from The '70s and The '80s are given costume and makeup designs that would make them fit perfectly in a lineup for the Parliament Funkadelic or Earth, Wind & Fire. |

Africa is now a unified federation of nations (similar to the European Union) in an attempt to dodge the Africa Is a Country misstep. However, it is usually still just an excuse to write a black character who is a continental African but not take the time of doing the research as to where in Africa they are from.note It is a matter of fact that citizens of member EU countries still refer themselves primarily as a national of that specific country, not merely as EU citizens. |

The Captain |
| | Overused Sci-Fi Settings (Website) / int_d99d9918 |
comment |
The Captain or other main heroic protagonist grew up as a either the simple farm boy or farm girl or some other variation of The wholesome "All American". They will usually be from a part of the American midwest, a region that is frequently regarded in American culture as cleancut, grounded, straightforward, humble, blunt but honest, and unpretentious. They retain that image even as an adult. Most of the early American astronauts had a noticeable Midwestern drawl but the trope does predate the space program, in aviation, especially with pilots such as Chuck Yeagher. Characters from more urban, cosmopolitan upbringing, while not neccesarily depicted as unlikeable, are almost invariably written to be more cynical, snobbish, or dubious, and less charismatic than the wholesome protagonist.note This is despite the fact that characters from urban environments as a rule are more likely to be street smart, liberal, and tolerant with respect to people from different racial or cultural backgrounds and lifestyles in comparison to characters who spent their formative years in sparsely populated small town or rural American areas which are noted for frequently being very conservative as well as racially and culturally homogenous. |
