Since Darkness-Induced Audience Apathy got renamed to Too Bleak, Stopped Caring with emphasis on the bleakness being a complete turn off (the note at the bottom saying if a work is still enjoyed despite or for the darkness it doesn't count), maybe Angst Aversion and True Art Is Angsty entries on the YMMV pages can be beefed up to pick up the slack for misused entries (that aren't just complaining ofc)? IMO right now 1984's entry on its YMMV page could really be expanded for one.

I have heard about this view of art for so long I need to know. Are there any works of art that are praised for being lighter and softer at all? I mean I understand the appeal but for every rule there is a exception and this rule is so broad that there has got to be a example out there.

"Barely a few days after The Dark Knight Rises premiered, people were already insisting that Alfred was only hallucinating when he saw Bruce at the end, and that he really did die with the explosion, simply because it's darker."
Darkness is in the eye of the beholder. The negative reaction to that scene might have had more to do with the fact that Bruce making a miraculous escape was less believable, given the context.

Deleting. Take examples from it if necessary.

Does Joss Whedon deserve that bit under Live Action TV? The quote doesn't really demonstrate that he feels that True Art Is Angsty. He's basically saying that conflict makes shows fun to watch, and happy people lack conflict. That stands true both in comedies and tragedies.

they are saying that he has a propensity to create angst when none is needed. take serinity, for example (spoiler alert); when Book dies, it is a well done dramatic moment, and no one finds it stupid, but at the climax, when wash is 'impaled, out of fucking nowhere!' it seems like a needless grab for angst, when there was already plenty of tension. this is why that scene is parodied (i think CAD did one, among others), while books death was accepted.
Come to think of it, people tend to associate realism with cynicism, maybe because many people believe we're living in a crapsack world.
