[[folder:Armor Piercing Slap]]

'''Category: Needs Help'''
* The trope suffers from three major problems:
** Misuse - contributors just pothole to this trope whenever someone slaps someone, ignoring BitchSlap, which has almost ten times fewer wicks.
** Bad description - it's convoluted and self contradicting. More on that bellow.
** Misleading name - I personally like the way it sounds, but the name seems to be part of the problem. People either see it as a slap analogue of ArmorPiercingQuestion and ArmorPiercingResponse (part of the description also suggests it, but another describes something else entirely) which deals with breaking one's phycological defenses, or compare it to ArmorPiercingAttack and use it as "a reeeeally strong slap".
!! Description
If we go by the Laconic, the essence of the trope is '''“If a weakling slaps a badass for upsetting them, it will always hurt him no matter how strong he's supposed to be.”''' The first paragraph and the page quote describe the same idea.
But then it's elaborated and things become confusing: next paragraph says being slapped by a loved one is humiliating, which has nothing to do with strengths. Then there're musings about the stronger character letting the weaker character hit him, because he's a decent person and/or feels guilty, or to prevent ruining the relationship. DoubleStandard is mentioned. And finally it concludes that: '''“What matters is that a weaker person is slapping, scolding, or otherwise humiliating a stronger person... and the stronger person is so stunned—or ashamed—that they can do nothing. ”''' - now it's not even about a slap anymore. It's about not protesting against being scolded.
And just to confuse things even more, the article adds, '''“But be careful now, it doesn't mean they won't hit back.”''', even though it has just said the point of the trope is that they won't fight back.
Also, while it seemingly describes an unrealistic outcome (the implication seems to be that the strong character shouldn't be hurt by the slap, but they are), but ends with '''"TruthInTelevision, as anyone who interacts with young children on a regular basis can know."'''. IMO, if it includes TruthInTelevision, then it's chairs: "being slapped hurts" - who would've thought.
* In conclusion, the description seems to pack (at least) four different concepts into one trope:
** A much weaker character slaps with an unexpected force that sends a nigh invulnerable character flying, or at least noticeably hurts them.
** Being slapped has a profound psychological effect on a character, leaving them stunned. Related to GetAHoldOfYourselfMan, ArmorPiercingQuestion and ArmorPiercingResponse.
** A physically strong person doesn't defend themselves and doesn't respond in kind to being slapped by a weaker character due to their own morals or societal expectations. Compare WouldntHitAGirl, but less gender specific.
** A badass doesn't protest scolding and abuse from a weakling, because they believe the other person's wrath to be righteous and accept it. A variation of SubmissiveBadass, only where the submissiveness is momentary.

** ZCE, A slaps B for XYZ, or a character who likes to slap people. (31/50) 62%
** A slaps B really hard (it's either unclear who's stronger, or the slapper is stronger). (8/50) 16%
** A character is slapped and it emotionally affects them. (7/50) 14%
** A weaker character slaps a stronger one and manages to hurt them physically. (2/50) 4%
** A slap has no effect. (2/50) 4%
!!Possible solution:
* I guess, the most obvious one is to rewrite the description back to it's meaning of "a badass, who easily shrugs off powerful attacks from enemies, is physically hurt by a slap from a weakling". Cut all examples that don't fit. Rename. (incidentally, there is a redirect GirlsHitHarderThanTheVillains, which describes the trope more aptly, but it's unnecessarily gendered, if you ask me.) I only worry that there are not enough examples supporting it.
* Or we can go with the flow and merge it with BitchSlap?

'''Category: Needs Help'''
* The trope suffers from three major problems:
** '''Misuse''' - contributors just pothole to this trope whenever someone slaps someone, ignoring BitchSlap, which has almost ten times fewer wicks.. A lot of examples focus on the reason for the slap rather than its consequences or the reaction of the slapped character (which is the supposed focus of the trope).

* '''[[Sandbox/ArmorPiercingSlapWickCheck Wick Check]]'''
** Most of examples are either ZCE's or describe the reason for the punch, but not the consequences or the slappee's reaction (even though it seems to be the focus of this trope, whichever definition we apply). [[note]]I suspect, people often consider the disparity in power between characters to be self evident, so they don't bother including it in the example. But for someone not familiar with the work it's not so obvious.[[/note]]
** There's also a significant number of uses where it's treated as MegatonPunch / PunchedAcrossTheRoom, but for slaps. Might be due to the name being similar to ArmorPiercingAttack
** And quite a few examples deal with an emotional reaction of the slappee, which is consistent with a part of the description, but not with the laconic version.
* I lumped together ZCE's and examples that include explanation about why someone's slapped, because reasons for the slap are not relevant to this trope.
** ZCE, A slaps B for XYZ, or a character who likes to slap people. (31/50) 62%
** A slaps B really hard (it's either unclear who's stronger, or the slapper is stronger). (8/50) 16%
** A character is slapped and it emotionally affects them. (7/50) 14%
** A weak character slaps a stronger one and manages to hurt them physically. (2/50) 4%
** A slap has no effect. (2/50) 4%
'''Possible solution:'''
* I guess, the most obvious one is to rewrite the description back to it's meaning of "a badass, who easily shrugs off powerful attacks from enemies, is physically hurt by a slap from a weakling". Cut all examples that don't fit. Rename. (incidently there is a redirect GirlsHitHarderThanTheVillains, which describes that more aptly, but it's unnecessarily gendered, as for me.)
* Or we can go with the flow and merge it with BitchSlap?

ArmorPiercingSlap
If we go by the Laconic, the essence of the trope is '''“If a weakling slaps a badass for upsetting them, it will always hurt him no matter how strong he's supposed to be.”''' The first paragraph and the page quote describe the same idea.
But then it's elaborated and things become confusing.
First, it seems like this trope is about the contrast between the slapper being physically weak and an unexpectedly strong slap. But then it says being slapped by a loved one is humiliating [[note]] which has nothing to do with strengths [[/note]]. Then there're musings about the stronger character letting the weaker character to hit him, because he's a decent person and/or feels guilty, or to prevent ruining the relationship. DoubleStandard is mentioned. And finally it concludes that: '''“What matters is that a weaker person is slapping, scolding, or otherwise humiliating a stronger person... and the stronger person is so stunned—or ashamed—that they can do nothing. ”''' - now it's not even about a slap anymore.
And just to confuse things even more, the article adds, '''“But be careful now, it doesn't mean they won't hit back.”''', even though it has just said the point of the trope is that they won't fight back.
Also, while it seemingly describes an unrealistic outcome (the implication seems to be that the strong character shouldn't be hurt by the slap, but they are), but ends with '''"TruthInTelevision, as anyone who interacts with young children on a regular basis can know."'''. IMO, if it includes TruthInTelevision, then it's chairs: "being slapped hurts" - who would've thought.
!!In conclusion, the description seems to pack (at least) four different concepts into one trope:
** A much weaker character slaps with an unexpected force that sends a nigh invulnerable character flying, or at least noticeably hurts them.
** A slap has such a profound psychological effect on a character that they are completely stunned. Related to GetAHoldOfYourselfMan, ArmorPiercingQuestion and ArmorPiercingResponse.
** A stronger character doesn't defend themselves or respond in kind to being slapped by a weaker character due to their own morals or societal expectations. Compare WouldntHitAGirl, but less gender specific. [[note]] It might me Chairs, because if the difference in strengths is big enough, it's usually expected from the stronger character - if they are portrayed as at least somewhat good - to hold back and not hit a weaker person, unless it's completely unavoidable. It shows in the Wick Check: contributors don't even mention the fact that the slappee doesn't fight back, treating it as a given.[[/note]]
** A variation of SubmissiveBadass, where the submissiveness is momentary and relies on the badass believing the other person's wrath to be righteous and accepting it.

Knowing of a new stipulation she had activated when she performed the XLE Rescue, the shoe type will only take its actual form when worn with compatible clothing, otherwise said shoe type will look like a heelless ballet boot but sound like a stiletto one when worn. The trope-naming choice being avoided by this particular situation is for undercover missions, to prevent someone from making her either wear the shoe type with incompatible clothing or reveal her true identity.

Knowing of a new stipulation she had activated when she performed the XLE Rescue, the shoe type will only take its actual form when worn with compatible clothing, otherwise said shoe type will look like a heelless ballet boot but sound like a stiletto one when worn. The trope-naming choice being avoided by this particular situation is for undercover missions, to prevent someone from making her either wear the shoe type with incompatible clothing or reveal her true identity. This new stipulation also has an extension that makes her unable to wear normal sneakers unless she goes with a high-heeled pair.
