Okay, this is a trope that I see perpetually misused. Despite being In Universe Examples Only, I see it constantly reposted to character pages by tropers who think a character looks cute when they smile. There have been times when I've removed an example only for another troper to readd it in the exact same manner. While the page itself is more or less good, constant misuse on other pages is starting to get grating.

Another thing that bugs me is the trope, "a Perpetual Frowner looks nice when they smile" feels a bit too People Sit On Chairs-y to me. Even if commented on In-Universe, it's kind of natural people looks good when they smile. (At least, when it's non-menaically.) In any case, I question if this trope should remain on the wiki. It gets misused way too much outside of the page itself, and it seems odd to have a trope that boils down to lampshading a character looking nice when they smile.

Not enough evidence to justify a thread, so closing.
