Hi
Opened.
Jupiterian Local
72 wicks and 60 inbounds, which isn't terrible. Can we get a wick check to gauge misuse?

Really from Jupiter, but not an alien.
The name is not that unclear. I can see an expectation in heroes not to be easily scared.

Main Character
For what little it's worth, the name comes across to me as a duplicate of You Can Panic Now.

Agreed.
Also agreed.
From the title I expected the exact opposite of what it appears to be.
I thought it would be 'a person not afraid of x when everyone is or thinks that person should be afraid'.when it is 'the hero is expected to be heroic instead turns chicken', the description is quite obtuse so I could be wrong on that though.
The Tropes Are With Me.
Yeah, the trope as defined sounds a lot like You Can Panic Now when it should be "It's okay to be afraid because you'd be stupid to not be afraid." Whether or not it involves running away in blind panic. Basically averting/defying Fearless Fool.
So, should we have the definition match the title and the quote? Or have the title and quote match the definition and most examples? If we opt for the first (which I understand as "sometimes, being afraid/running in fear is the sensible thing to do"), then most examples could go to You Can Panic Now.
By the name I imagined it'd be a trope about the stock aesop that fear is normal and you shouldn't be afraid of fear, fear is natural and such.
"All you Fascists bound to lose."
I think "Fear Is An Appropriate Response" would be closer to what you're describing.

Clock is up with no progress; locking this.

Time for another round of Guess That Trope Definition.
Fear Is the Appropriate Response sounds to me like a character espousing that it's okay, even expected, to be afraid of something, but the definition looks more like "The Hero runs away screaming."
