Main Averted Trope Discussion
I'm of the opinion that a trope non-use only counts as an aversion if the trope is setting-appropriate. In other words, it is logical that a Police Procedural would not have a Wizarding School and a Standard Fantasy Setting would not involve Space Is Noisy (Ultima notwithstanding). I've seen stuff like that listed on some Playing With pages. Thoughts?
I need some aid. Is there a term/trope for when a Averted Trope is what caused the Trope to be noticed in the first place?
If you wish to have an example read the text below the line.
I am creating a possible Trope in YKTTW and the movie that made me think of this trope is actually an aversion. The YKKTW Entry is called "Minor Pain, Major Injury" , it is from the scene in Reservoir Dogs where Mr. Orange is lying in the back of the car and is moaning and screaming in agony due to the pain his VERY bloody gutshot. While watching this scene I thought about how rare this is, how more often than not a prolonged gunshot wound or stabbing doesn't seem to be particularly painful, or the character is able to suppress the pain of the wound. THIS IS NOT AN EXAMPLE OF ONLY A FLESH WOUND as the if the "trope" is used the lack of pain is not due to the wound's location. Nor is this "trope" Major Injury Underreaction as it is not played for laughs and is very rarely lampshaded, nor Feel No Pain as if this "trope" is applied correctly the character is supposed to feel pain as acutely as the next man. If the YKTTW entry already exists, this Troper would very much appreciate it if he was pointed in the right direction.

I sometimes get confused as to whether a trope counts as an aversion or just a subversion. I understand the difference, but wouldn't pretty much everything be an aversion of something?
