What do the examples do?: Het Is Ew

What about examples from fanfics, then?

Rhymes with "Protracted."

If it's explicitly stated in the text of the fanfic, then it counts as In-Universe. If it's just the "fandom as a whole" then it doesn't.

Errrm... Bump?

Did anyone go through and clean the examples? It doesn't look like it, but most of them are fanfic examples, just organized according to the source material.

That's because the page itself says "Fandoms this trope is especially prevalent in."

So it's a discussion of an Audience Reaction, not a trope.

I despise hypocrisy, unless of course it is my own.

That still doesnt change that the examples have nothing to do with the trope

It just lists homosexual pairings. Thats not what the trope is for

Anyway, made single prop crowner on keeping the examples or not.

So wait, let me clarify.

Is the single prop also there to redefine the trope? Because I don't think you can do an In Universe Examples Only on an Audience Reaction without changing the trope definition.

It's been done many times. Squee is a good example. It basically turns the trope from an Audience Reaction, to a Character Reaction, but the core trope doesn't change.

Bump for more votes.

Cut examples. No need for 'em.

I'm not wholly convinced of a need to get rid of all examples (aggressive deletion of non-examples is, however, clearly necessary), but there should definitely be a concise explanation of what this trope is and isn't within the article.

Crowner's been here forever, and is pretty decisive, will do it. Please lock

Okay, if the examples are for in-universe stuff now, should the description be rewritten to focus less on real life people who complain about het pairings?

I know this is bumping a relatively old topic, but is this the sort of page that really even needs examples? Why not make it a trivia page or something?

Since this is a page about fan attitudes, not a trope about character opinions, in-universe examples don't really illustrate it. We may as well delete them.

The examples now make this confusing. The description is about attitudes towards works of fiction, yet the examples seem to include characters who are against actual*

heterosexual relationships, with no mention of how they feel about het fiction. Seriously, the only in-universe example that matches the description is the Yu-Gi-Oh The Abridged Series one.

Actually, this seems to be the same concern expressed in post 25.
