So, is this a trope or an audience reaction?: Animation Age Ghetto

There are a few examples in this page that deal with this phenomenon In-Universe but for the most place the majority of the examples are just complaints about people's preconceived notions about animation. So should we limit this page to only In-Universe situations or simply but a YMMV banner on top?

Aw, I love this page. Maybe example-less or limit examples to well-referenced examples with links?

I would go for the YMMV banner.

It's not YMMV because it is about actions that occur as part of a trend. It's not simply audience reaction because the actions occur in the audience, in the film makes, producers, ratings people and all stages along the creation and reception of a work. And it can't be exampleless because otherwise that would be complaints without proof; I've seen complaint pages that have no proof and they suck. The fact that Animation Age Ghetto has examples is why it is good.

It's either YMMV or related because it is "people think that animation is for kids". The fact that it's a widely held opinion doesn't change that it's still opinion, and there are people whose opinion is otherwise.

Yeah, I'd say YMMV or Audience Reaction, too. It isn't a storytelling trope, it is a trope about how stories are received.

I'd lean toward Audience Reaction.

Agreed with Some Sort of Troper, this isn't a pure Audience Reaction as this page details a trend that has had huge effects on animation production.

Either way it ends up on the YMMV tab.

So do Comedy Ghetto and Sci Fi Ghetto end up there as well?

Sure, why not? They are all the same sort of thing.

So, should I just make a post for Comedy Ghetto and Animation Age Ghetto in the banner thread?

Yeah.

Added to Audience Reactions. All of them.
