** If the definition of a trope itself lines up almost one-to-one with the Crappy definition on this page, there is no cause for alarm. If the joke for a Crappy definition is that people use it to list examples of Administrivia/PeopleSitOnChairs and the majority of examples for that trope almost exclusively ''are'' Chairs, do not panic. Remember, this page is [[SnarkBait purely for snarking at the terrible quality of this wiki]] and never about putting the dots together that a trope needs to be sent to the Repair Shop and starting a thread about it.

* RealitySubtext:
** Something happened in RealLife with a creator or actor of a work, and even though all evidence points to either pure coincidence or a complete lack of relation, the work ''clearly'' alluded to the event.

** A work takes place in space. Heck, it doesn't even have to be the whole work. As long as at least one thing is '''in Space!''', it counts.
** [[SpaceX Anything whose name begins with the word "Space"]].
** A work has a few similarities to another work '''But with a whole bunch of other differences!''' As long as you use that special font to explain the differences, it counts.
** Use this to accuse a work of [[TheyCopiedItSoItSucks ripping off another work]] on objective trope pages. Bonus points if you also emphasize that the alleged rip-off is inferior to the original (''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'' '''But with lazier designs!''').
** Use this to complain about a work on an objective trope page by comparing it to an oft-reviled work. Bonus points if the works barely have anything other than their (supposed) flaws in common.
** Literally anything, as long as you can phrase it in the form "X, '''except Y!'''"

** Anytime the creator calls a character gay, even when the show makes it clear from the very beginning.
** A great way to complain about how the handsome male is now gay and thus [[IncompatibleOrientation won't work in your]] {{het}} [[IncompatibleOrientation ship]]. Why not shout: "DieForOurShip!"
