Basic Trope: Any fictional setting where the sexual kinks of the author are considered normal by society.
- Straight: In the fictional country of Tropestan in the works of Bob, a writer with a TV Tropes fetish, everyone has a TV Tropes fetish.
- Exaggerated: The whole story is just an Excuse Plot for TV tropes smut.
- Downplayed:
- TV Tropes fetishism is about as common in Tropestan as in the real world, but the first-person narrator has a TV Tropes fetish, so the only view we have of Tropestan is through the eyes of someone with a TV Tropes fetish.
- A sexual practice which is illegal today in most of the world is now stigmatized but legal.
- Justified:
- A Dystopian Edict has been passed which outlaws any sex except that involving TV Tropes fetishism.
- A particular kind of Depopulation Bomb gives some sort of evolutionary advantage over those who practice TV Tropes fetishism.
- Throughout human history, different sexual interests have fallen in and out of popularity or become more or less stigmatized. No reason to believe this evolution will stop anytime soon.
- Inverted:
- Tropestan is a country where all sex is forbidden.
- In Tropestan, all sex is of the "vanilla"-kind, and used exclusively for procreation purposes.
- Subverted:
- Tropestan is actually considered damn weird by the rest of the world for their trope fetish.
- The fetish is merely a result of Shown Their Work with the base species and described rather matter-of-factly. Their "fetish" if anything is pedantic accuracy.
- Double Subverted: Only because they take it too far in their opinion - every couple TV Tropes occasionally but they are considered obsessive about it.
- Parodied:
- Society is only so Trope oriented due to literally everyone in power being a massive pervert with Skewed Priorities.
- The fetish portrayed exists only in a rule 36 sense of finding contrived and awkwardly exposition for flimsy and needless excuses for fetishes which don't really need an excuse.
- Zig Zagged: ???
- Averted: Tropestan is not noticeably more sexually-open than the present.
- Enforced: A serious case of Author Appeal.
- Lampshaded: "Gee, sometimes I wonder if our world's creator had a TV Tropes fetish."
- Invoked: ???
- Exploited: ???
- Defied: Not fully applicable; while characters can theoretically take measures to prevent a kink from becoming too prevalent, the heart of the trope lies in it being Author Appeal, and the characters can't exactly control their author's kinks.
- Discussed: ???
- Conversed: ???
