[up][up] 'Tutu's are a gay stereotype' might be a trope in of itself but it certainly isnt this one.

I vote to send this trope to the Trope Launch Pad and make it more tropeworthy.

Looking it over, it seems that the vast majority of examples on the page fall evenly into 1 of 3 categories:

  • Dance outfits that would be a potential hazard to the dancer (i.e. Correct Usage),
  • Magical Girls wear uniforms that could be used in a ballet but for the accouterments, whether the MG are dancers or not,
  • Dance outfits that actually are proper (i.e. Aversions).

I could see transferring the examples in the first two categories to Impractically Fancy Outfit and cutting the Trope...

... except that the description for IFO focuses on the impracticality of the costume being too fragile for normal wear, not that the costume is a potential hazard for the wearer when used for its intended purpose.

So I think that IFO's description should be broadened up a bit to account for this group of examples. Then transfer and cut.

There already are examples of "dangerous clothing / costume design" on Impractically Fancy Outfit. This trope seems redundant with that. If the concepts of "dangerously designed outfit" and "impractically designed outfit" are saliently different, I think someone could make a TLP draft for the dangerously designed outfit idea, but until then I think it's adequately covered by IFO. I think we could move the appropriate examples to IFO and cut this trope.

[up][up] Option 2 is already covered by Frills of Justice and possibly Frilly Upgrade since every Mid-Season Upgrade their costumes become more and more ornate.

Would anyone agree if we sent this back to the Trope Launch Pad?

As the trope stands... no. There is literally nothing here worth anything. The other trope idea might work in YKTTW however nothing here is related to that.

You are free to try another YKTTW for the other idea but this should just be cut.

Cut, any valid tutu-related tropes should be made in TLP.

With 333 inbounds, it would be good to find a plausible redirect target. Possibly Dresses, Gowns and Skirts or Rule of Glamorous?

Otherwise, yeah, I'm not seeing anything worth salvaging here.

If anything as written it probably should be directed to Frills of Justice.

Frills of Justice seems much too narrow. I generally prefer to redirect to a broader category in cases like this, to make sure we're being inclusive, and to minimize confusion.

But that's merely a preference. And not a strong one. So...whatever? smile

Yeah disagree on merging into Frills of Justice, that’s specifically about Magical Girl outfits and their stereotypes.

Having elements of a tutu is just something that occasionally appears to varying degrees.
