it\\\'s fallacious reasoning to say that you can\\\'t make a story without tropes because everything is a trope. I can just as easily say that it\\\'s impossible to make a story without Smeernop - a word that I just made up, but is defined as \\\"anything which occurs in a story ever\\\" or something equally nebulous.
The term trope itself is just a word devised by fans to categorize things that occur in media, ergo literally anything in media can just have the \\\"trope\\\" label slapped on it by virtue of existing in media. It\\\'s just one big pile of circular logic.
It doesn\\\'t exist in reality. Authors do not think of tropes when writing (when they do it usually makes for shit stories, and for good reason), they just have ideas, some of which are intentionally or unintentionally based on something else.
I can hardly imagine the sheer audacity someone must\\\'ve had to make a giant ass page essentially arguing in the smuggest way possible that a work can\\\'t have tropes because we explicitly engineered the definition of a trope so that no media ever could not contain them, including a horrendously unfunny section where the almighty waifu-goddess Trope-tan enlightens the uneducated \\\'\\\'rube\\\'\\\' reading this article and lets them see The Truth™ that tropes are all consuming despite being an ephemeral fanspeak term that only exists on the internet and in the minds of people who spend far too much time on this site (heck I spend too much time on this site and even I\\\'m not that deluded). And then they include a list of \\\"tropes\\\" that is just restating the point in ever more condescending terms.
I\\\'ve always despised the \\\"Just For Fun\\\" articles because every single one I\\\'ve seen has just been an excuse to passive-aggressively complain about petty things or act smug under the guise of \\\"humor\\\", despite them being as funny as a heart attack*, but this one takes the cake. This was a collaborative effort, the closest thing TvTropes has had to a complete mainpage circlejerk. And I\\\'m probably going to get lambasted in the replies for daring to break it, because something being a Just For Fun article means you literally cannot complain about it \\\'\\\'ever\\\'\\\'.
Assuming my comment doesn\\\'t just get removed anyway.
*the exception to this is when they trope a show within a show. those are great.

On his positives, like Felix he tends to join other routes with very little investment because he favors Authority, and his personal skill makes Deadeye abuse easier.
