Badass tropes - now on: Action Girl

Alright, so in TRS Badass Gay came up for discussion and it was agreed that there appears to big problem with the Badass X tropes in general, which needs to be sorted out until something can be ruled on for Badass Gay.

Here's a courtesy link: TRS page. And Badass page with its subtropes. You can also visit the sandbox page here.

Noted Problems include:

• Tropes are just listings of characters people thing are badass who happen to have a certain trait. (The Badass + Trait Problem)
• Badass X as a naming scheme is actually very vague and doesn't give a lot of insight into what the character trope actually is, assuming it is a trope.
• Badass X as a naming scheme proliferates the use of Badass + Trait 'tropes'.

Suggested things to do include:

• Make it a requirement that a badass character trope means a character is "badass because of a trait", or "badass in spite of a trait".
• Renaming away from the Badass X naming scheme as much as possible.
• Cut, redefine or re-purpose things that are just Badass + trait.

There are also a lot of tropes that seem to be valid character-types, but have the naming scheme 'Badass X', when there's more to the trope than that. There are also a lot of prop or event or whatever tropes that need to be gone through as well.
