Discussion Fanfic / FriendshipIsFailure

I haven't seen an instance where an entire page had to be scrapped and done anew, but we can re-word the page so it doesn't come across as a constant jab-fest. For instance, the example you described can be redone as such:

• Can't Take Criticism: Everyone in these stories, whether they believe in friendship or not, has a hard time being told that their beliefs might not be absolute.
  • Twilight and co. can't grasp the idea that someone wouldn't want to accept friendship, love and harmony, and are consistently portrayed as trying to force their ways upon the problem ponies. Their attempts backfire every time, only ending in the problem ponies strengthening their resolve and acting even worse.
  • The problem ponies (or humans, depending on the story) are wholly convinced that there's nothing wrong with their way of life, no matter how problematic it would be in the long run. When told otherwise, they coldly and loudly dismiss their worries the first time, then turn angry and spiteful after a repeat offense. Sometimes, the result tends to be violent, especially when Twilight "fixes" the problem behind the character's back.

How was that? I tried to be as impartial as possible here, so I hope that helps.

^Sounds good to me.

I am going to add the Narcissist trope to the "Tropes Applying to Several Characters" section on the characters subpage. Anything anyone wants to input regarding that?

^If several of themy fit the criteria the main page mentions (if my memory is correct at least a couple characters do), then go for it.

^I wasn't asking for whether or not it'd be a good idea to add it, I was asking if anyone had anything to add in regards to that trope.

Which characters are the protagonists and antagonists?
