VERY YMMV yet not categorized as such: Adorkable

Why isn't Adorkable a YMMV trope? Frankly, does it really even seem too tropable? Someone who is awkward and nerdy but in cute way—that last part just nails the subjectivity of this. "You can't not love them." It is very possible to not love a character like this.

It's pretty clear when its intended to be cute and when its intended to be creepy (do we have a creepy nerd trope?). Like Badass. Yes, YMMV on whether it works, but its clear when they're trying.

But if it's when the writers are trying to invoke this, shouldn't the page reflect that instead of sounding like that's what the audience will no matter what have as a reaction?

Then rewrite the description, don't make the page YMMV.

But aside from Word of God admitted examples, how do we really know for sure that the writers are actively campaigning to make a character seem this way and that it's not just all in a viewer's head?

Characters within the story usually comment on how dorky the character is and there is humor in them trying to act cool while downplaying how dorky they are, hence the adorable dork. A lot of times writers and even actors may not even be aware they are using an objective trope, that doesn't make it any less objective. If we need Word of God to back up every trope we wouldn't get very far.

Basically, Adorkable lists a series of common traits for the character, none of which hinges on the audience having a strong reaction to them (all character tropes usually get some sort of response, that doesn't mean the trope is about how the audience responds). Compare that to The Woobie, when audience reaction to the character is key to the entire trope. The Woobie may have some common traits but you can check out the subtropes (Iron Woobie, Jerkass Woobie) to see how widely defined that trope can be.

Ya, I have to agree Adorkable is a set of define character traits which are not based upon the subjective opinions of an audience. The trope need to better state that, but it's not a YMMV.

Seconding.

I don't think this is a YMMV trope, for the most part, I think most of these characters are intended to come off this way. Whether its a conscious or subconscious decision on the creator's part.
