Lots of aversions for Flynning

I was editing down the description for flynning and I realized that many of the examples are aversions.

I know that accoding to Averted Trope, we rarely if ever list aversions unless the trope is nigh Omnipresent, a Necessary Weasel, or an aversion-only trope.

Does Flynning fall under these (def not the last one, so the first two) and if not, can those examples be removed?

ETA: the topic was previously brought up on the trope discussion page, but it didn't seem conclusive

Roughly how many examples are aversions? If most of them are, there may actually be a TRS case—New York Is Only Manhattan got brought up here recently for also being mostly aversions and I wick checked it and found most of the examples were either aversions or misuse.

I don't think Flynning is an omnipresent trope and looking at the actual entries, the aversions don't seem noteworthy.

I tend to agree. "The swordfighting in this work was realistic" doesn't feel tropable, at least not as an aversion to Flynning.

So is it ok if I remove them then citing this thread?

Yea, or even citing the rule for aversions.
