to:
The trope AlternateUniverse is about the \\\"mirror universe\\\" or \\\"travel to another dimension\\\" kind of stuff that\\\'s on this page discussed under the entry for TheMultiverse. The way it\\\'s used here seems to use it in a meta sense, like AlternativeContinuity. I reworked the entry to be about AlternativeContinuity, though that ended up being a bit messy because the lines between the same and alternative continuity seemed to become a bit fuzzy and I couldn\\\'t set it all straight based on just the information given here. I also changed this in the main description of the work.

* TheChosenMany: Lightning and Celesto are the only two alicorns that can use the Uniforce... besides Cerise, a one-shot character from \\\'\\\'My Brave Pony: Star Fleet Magic II\\\'\\\'. [[spoiler: Oh, and Raven can do it too]].
Trope: \\\"A superpowered individual discovers an organization of similarly powered individuals.\\\" The example here says nothing about an organisation. This sounds more like complaining about the plot again.

* CompletelyMissingThePoint:
** The author thinks that friendship is magic in the sense that it is an actual force to fight, similar to a [[DragonBallZ Kamehameha]], instead of just a positive virtue.
*** In all honesty, that\\\'s not entirely wrong in the show of origin, as the Elements of Harmony can best be described as high-grade weaponized friendship. So yeah, friendship is magic and it \\\'\\\'can\\\'\\\' blast your face off.
*** The author also believes that if you use friendship, you are not allowed to throw a punch. That using friendship is the exact same thing as pacifism.
** For being a revenge/hate fic, the sequel actually shows Twilight and her friends to be more competent in general than Lightning and Starfleet.
In-universe examples only. That\\\'s why it\\\'s called ComicallyMissingThePoint now. Also, part was ConversationOnTheMainPage.

Under DisproportionateRetribution:
** The author wrote the entire fanfic, which insults bronies as being losers who dare to believe in positive things, because one single brony made fun of him.
*** He makes Cadance suffer just because he does not like the fact that, in the show, she got happily married.
**** Cadance gets more heat in \\\'\\\'Starfleet Magic IV\\\'\\\' over the wedding.
In-universe examples only for that trope.

* DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment: A particularly infamous example is in the Ace Ray chapter of \\\'\\\'My Brave Pony: Star Fleet Magic III\\\'\\\', where Penny states \\\"I\\\'m not just a doctor of medicine and psychology. I know a thing or two about science\\\", not realizing that both medicine and psychology are sciences.
That\\\'s not saying the same thing repeatedly, it\\\'s a more complicated case of saying something new in a way that unknowingly overlaps with the old thing while still giving new information. A bit borderline maybe, but I don\\\'t see why a questionable example should be kept unless as an excuse to complain more.

* MoralMyopia: The summary of the whole \\\"fanfic\\\": if Starfleet does morally questionable acts, it\\\'s cheered upon and never acknowledged (except for Ace Ray), if Titan or the others does morally questionable acts, they deem them immediately evil.
Kept the text but put it under ProtagonistCenteredMorality, because MoralMyopia implies the author is consciously showing them as hypocrites. See the very first sentence (besides the quote) on the MoralMyopia page.

* ThePowerOfHate: Pretty much what gave birth to this story. The author appears to be a big fan of it.
Seems to be talking about the author only, in which case it\\\'s not really an example but more hyperbole to complain with (and anyway SquarePegRoundTrope because the hate doesn\\\'t seem to have given him any real strength as he just created something that sucked), and even if it is actually about the story, it\\\'s a ZeroContextExample.

* RevengeFic: As stated by the author:
-->\\\'\\\'\\\"I do not like [[WesternAnimation/MyLittePonyFriendshipIsMagic FIM]] at all... in fact I hate it and wish it were never made... and it makes me angry with all its lies and falsehoods about friendship being magic and the true salvation. Not to mention all the horrid emotional pains it brings me. So…I create this to bash at it.\\\"\\\'\\\'
This describes HateFic -- RevengeFic being against some character, not work -- so I removed this trope but moved the text under HateFic, which was already there with no details.

* TheSmurfettePrinciple: UpToEleven. According to WordOfGod, the population of Unicornicopia consists mostly of males. While the story has at least five female winged unicorns in it, only Starla (who is mostly there as the LoveInterest) and Dementia have any form of slight significance to the overall plot.
Rather than being an extreme example of the principle (which is not what UpToEleven means anyway, see below), the work does not go far enough to qualify. If you read, again, the very first sentence of the [[TheSmurfettePrinciple trope]] description, it says there must be exactly one female in the cast (or per group, it says later), so \\\"there are at least five but only two count\\\" doesn\\\'t count. Also, the description of the example seems to ignore the fact, stated elsewhere, that several female characters from \\\'\\\'MLP:FIM\\\'\\\' show up.

* SuperSentai: One of the main inspirations for the author. The unicorns fight their enemies like Franchise/PowerRangers, minus the giant robots.
That doesn\\\'t make \\\"Super Sentai\\\" a trope appearing in this work, like putting it on the list implies. I even thought that maybe it was the name of a trope after all rather than a work, based on its being where it was and the description not actually contradicting that. But it links to a work.

UpToEleven: Not used as a trope, but referred to both under InNameOnly and TheSmurfettePrinciple. I removed both references before realising TheSmurfettePrinciple should be removed altogether. UpToEleven was being used, as it often is, just to say \\\"like, really totally much so,\\\" whereas it has an actual meaning that doesn\\\'t fit this at all. (I\\\'ve contemplated proposing a TV Tropes trope called \\\"Totally Extreme to the Max\\\" to discuss how certain tropes like UpToEleven and BeyondTheImpossible attract that kind of use just by their names.)

Rather than being an extreme example of the principle (which is not what UpToEleven means anyway, see below), the work does not go far enough to qualify. If you read, again, the very first sentence of the [[TheSmurfettePrinciple trope]] description, it says there must be exactly one female in the cast (or per group, it says later), so \\\"there are at least five but only two count\\\" doesn\\\'t count. Also, the description of the example seems to ignore the fact, stated elsewhere, that several female characters from \\\'\\\'MLP:FIM\\\'\\\' show up.

That doesn\\\'t make \\\"Super Sentai\\\" a trope appearing in this work, like putting on the list implies. I even thought that maybe it was the name of a trope after all rather than a work, based on its being where it was and the description not actually contradicting that.

UpToEleven: Not used as a trope, but referred to both under InNameOnly and TheSmurfettePrinciple. I removed both references becofre realising TheSmurfettePrinciple should be removed altogether. UpToEleven was once being used, as it often is, just to say \\\"like, really totally much so,\\\" whereas it has an actual meaning that doesn\\\'t fit this at all.

That doesn\\\'t make \\\"Super Sentai\\\" a trope appearing in this work, like putting on the list implies. I even thought that maybe it was the name of a trope after all rather than a work, based on its being where it was and the description not actually contradicting that.

UpToEleven: Not used as a trope, but referred to both under InNameOnly and TheSmurfettePrinciple. I removed both references becofre realising TheSmurfettePrinciple should be removed altogether. UpToEleven was once being used, as it often is, just to say \\\"like, really totally much so,\\\" whereas it has an actual meaning that doesn\\\'t fit this at all. (I\\\'ve contemplated proposing a TV Tropes trope called \\\"Totally Extreme to the Max\\\" to discuss how certain tropes like UpToEleven and BeyondTheImpossible attract that kind of use just by their names.)

* CompletelyMissingThePoint:
** The author thinks that friendship is magic in the sense that it is an actual force to fight, similar to a [[DragonBallZ Kamehameha]], instead of just a positive virtue.
*** In all honesty, that\\\'s not entirely wrong in the show of origin, as the Elements of Harmony can best be described as high-grade weaponized friendship. So yeah, friendship is magic and it \\\'\\\'can\\\'\\\' blast your face off.
*** The author also believes that if you use friendship, you are not allowed to throw a punch. That using friendship is the exact same thing as pacifism.
** For being a revenge/hate fic, the sequel actually shows Twilight and her friends to be more competent in general than Lightning and Starfleet.
In-universe examples only. That\\\'s why it\\\'s called ComicallyMissingThePoint now. Also, part was ConversationOnTheMainPage.

Under DisproportionateRetribution:
** The author wrote the entire fanfic, which insults bronies as being losers who dare to believe in positive things, because one single brony made fun of him.
*** He makes Cadance suffer just because he does not like the fact that, in the show, she got happily married.
**** Cadance gets more heat in \\\'\\\'Starfleet Magic IV\\\'\\\' over the wedding.
In-universe examples only for that trope.

* DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment: A particularly infamous example is in the Ace Ray chapter of \\\'\\\'My Brave Pony: Star Fleet Magic III\\\'\\\', where Penny states \\\"I\\\'m not just a doctor of medicine and psychology. I know a thing or two about science\\\", not realizing that both medicine and psychology are sciences.
That\\\'s not saying the same thing repeatedly, it\\\'s a more complicated case of saying something new in a way that unknowingly overlaps with the old thing while still giving new information. A bit borderline maybe, but I don\\\'t see why a questionable example should be kept unless as an excuse to complain more.

* MoralMyopia: The summary of the whole \\\"fanfic\\\": if Starfleet does morally questionable acts, it\\\'s cheered upon and never acknowledged (except for Ace Ray), if Titan or the others does morally questionable acts, they deem them immediately evil.
Kept the text but put it under ProtagonistCenteredMorality, because MoralMyopia implies the author is consciously showing them as hypocrites. See the very first sentence (besides the quote) on the MoralMyopia page.

* ThePowerOfHate: Pretty much what gave birth to this story. The author appears to be a big fan of it.
Seems to be talking about the author only, in which case it\\\'s not really an example but more hyperbole to complain with (and anyway SquarePegRoundTrope because the hate doesn\\\'t seem to have given him any real strength as he just created something that sucked), and even if it is actually about the story, it\\\'s a ZeroContextExample.

* RevengeFic: As stated by the author:
-->\\\'\\\'\\\"I do not like [[WesternAnimation/MyLittePonyFriendshipIsMagic FIM]] at all... in fact I hate it and wish it were never made... and it makes me angry with all its lies and falsehoods about friendship being magic and the true salvation. Not to mention all the horrid emotional pains it brings me. So…I create this to bash at it.\\\"\\\'\\\'
This describes HateFic -- RevengeFic being against some character, not work -- so I removed this trope but moved the text under HateFic, which was already there with no details.

* TheSmurfettePrinciple: UpToEleven. According to WordOfGod, the population of Unicornicopia consists mostly of males. While the story has at least five female winged unicorns in it, only Starla (who is mostly there as the LoveInterest) and Dementia have any form of slight significance to the overall plot.
Rather than being an extreme example of the principle, the work does not go far enough to qualify. If you read, again, the very first sentence of the [[TheSmurfettePrinciple trope]] description, it says there must be exactly one female in the cast or per group, so \\\"there are at least five but only two count\\\" doesn\\\'t count. Also, the description of the example seems to ignore the fact, stated elsewhere, that several female characters from \\\'\\\'MLP:FIM\\\'\\\' show up.

Overall, I think the lesson is that if you start putting in examples only to complain how much it sucks, you end up with bad examples. I\'ve seen that several times. I may have been guilty of it in the past myself, even though I\'m generally very good at avoiding SquarePegRoundTrope. See also ComplainingAboutShowsYouDontLike.

*** In all honesty, that\\\'s not entirely wrong in the show of origin, as the Elements of Harmony can best be described as high-grade weaponized friendship. So yeah, friendship is magic and it \\\'\\\'can\\\'\\\' blast your face off.
*** The author also believes that if you use friendship, you are not allowed to throw a punch. That using friendship is the exact same thing as pacifism.
** For being a revenge/hate fic, the sequel actually shows Twilight and her friends to be more competent in general than Lightning and Starfleet.
In-universe examples only. That\\\'s why it\\\'s called ComicallyMissingThePoint now. Also, part was ConversationOnTheMainPage.

Under DisproportionateRetribution:
** The author wrote the entire fanfic, which insults bronies as being losers who dare to believe in positive things, because one single brony made fun of him.
*** He makes Cadance suffer just because he does not like the fact that, in the show, she got happily married.
**** Cadance gets more heat in \\\'\\\'Starfleet Magic IV\\\'\\\' over the wedding.
In-universe examples only for that trope.

* DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment: A particularly infamous example is in the Ace Ray chapter of \\\'\\\'My Brave Pony: Star Fleet Magic III\\\'\\\', where Penny states \\\"I\\\'m not just a doctor of medicine and psychology. I know a thing or two about science\\\", not realizing that both medicine and psychology are sciences.
That\\\'s not saying the same thing repeatedly, it\\\'s a more complicated case of saying something new in a way that unknowingly overlaps with the old thing while still giving new information. A bit borderline maybe, but I don\\\'t see why a questionable example should be kept unless as an excuse to complain more.

* MoralMyopia: The summary of the whole \\\"fanfic\\\": if Starfleet does morally questionable acts, it\\\'s cheered upon and never acknowledged (except for Ace Ray), if Titan or the others does morally questionable acts, they deem them immediately evil.
Kept the text but put it under ProtagonistCenteredMorality, because MoralMyopia implies the author is consciously showing them as hypocrites. See the very first sentence (besides the quote) on the MoralMyopia page.

* ThePowerOfHate: Pretty much what gave birth to this story. The author appears to be a big fan of it.
Seems to be talking about the author only, in which case it\\\'s not really an example but more hyperbole to complain with (and anyway SquarePegRoundTrope because the hate doesn\\\'t seem to have given him any real strength as he just created something that sucked), and even if it is actually about the story, it\\\'s a ZeroContextExample.

* RevengeFic: As stated by the author:
-->\\\'\\\'\\\"I do not like [[WesternAnimation/MyLittePonyFriendshipIsMagic FIM]] at all... in fact I hate it and wish it were never made... and it makes me angry with all its lies and falsehoods about friendship being magic and the true salvation. Not to mention all the horrid emotional pains it brings me. So…I create this to bash at it.\\\"\\\'\\\'
This describes HateFic -- RevengeFic being against some character, not work -- so I removed this trope but moved the text under HateFic, which was already there with no details.

* TheSmurfettePrinciple: UpToEleven. According to WordOfGod, the population of Unicornicopia consists mostly of males. While the story has at least five female winged unicorns in it, only Starla (who is mostly there as the LoveInterest) and Dementia have any form of slight significance to the overall plot.
Rather than being an extreme example of the principle, the work does not go far enough to qualify. If you read, again, the very first sentence of the [[TheSmurfettePrinciple trope]] description, it says there must be exactly one female in the cast or per group, \\\"there are at least five but only two count\\\" doesn\\\'t count. Also, the description of the example seems to ignore the fact, stated elsewhere, that several female characters from \\\'\\\'MLP:FIM\\\'\\\' show up.

UpToEleven: Not used as a trope, but referred to both under InNameOnly and TheSmurfettePrinciple. I removed both references becofre realising TheSmurfettePrinciple should be removed altogether. UpToEleven was once again being used just to say \\\"like, really totally much so,\\\" whereas it has an actual meaning that doesn\\\'t fit this at all. (I\\\'ve contemplated proposing a TV Tropes trope called \\\"Totally Extreme to the Max\\\" to discuss how certain tropes like UpToEleven and BeyondTheImpossible attract that kind of use just by their names.)

InNameOnly: I didn\\\'t remove that trope for obvious reasons, but I removed the reference to the trope UpToEleven, which was again being used just to say \\\"like, really totally much so,\\\" whereas it has an actual meaning that doesn\\\'t fit this at all. (I\\\'ve contemplated proposing a TV Tropes trope called \\\"Totally Extreme to the Max\\\" to discuss how certain tropes like UpToEleven and BeyondTheImpossible attract that kind of use just by their names.)

* MoralMyopia: The summary of the whole \\\"fanfic\\\": if Starfleet does morally questionable acts, it\\\'s cheered upon and never acknowledged (except for Ace Ray), if Titan or the others does morally questionable acts, they deem them immediately evil.
Kept the text but put it under ProtagonistCenteredMorality, because MoralMyopia implies the author is consciously showing them as hypocrites. See the very first sentence on the MoralMyopia page.

Overall, I think the lesson is that if you start putting in examples only to complain how much it sucks, you end up with bad examples. I\'ve seen that several times. I may have been guilty of it in the past myself, even though I\'m generally very good at avoiding SquarePegRoundTrope.

* CompletelyMissingThePoint:
** The author thinks that friendship is magic in the sense that it is an actual force to fight, similar to a [[DragonBallZ Kamehameha]], instead of just a positive virtue.
*** In all honesty, that\\\'s not entirely wrong in the show of origin, as the Elements of Harmony can best be described as high-grade weaponized friendship. So yeah, friendship is magic and it \\\'\\\'can\\\'\\\' blast your face off.
*** The author also believes that if you use friendship, you are not allowed to throw a punch. That using friendship is the exact same thing as pacifism.
** For being a revenge/hate fic, the sequel actually shows Twilight and her friends to be more competent in general than Lightning and Starfleet.
In-universe examples only. That\\\'s why it\\\'s called ComicallyMissingThePoint now. Also, part was ConversationOnTheMainPage.

Under DisproportionateRetribution:
** The author wrote the entire fanfic, which insults bronies as being losers who dare to believe in positive things, because one single brony made fun of him.
*** He makes Cadance suffer just because he does not like the fact that, in the show, she got happily married.
**** Cadance gets more heat in \\\'\\\'Starfleet Magic IV\\\'\\\' over the wedding.
In-universe examples only for that trope.

* DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment: A particularly infamous example is in the Ace Ray chapter of \\\'\\\'My Brave Pony: Star Fleet Magic III\\\'\\\', where Penny states \\\"I\\\'m not just a doctor of medicine and psychology.
