So... this page is basically just stereotypes. From what I understand from the description, the concept is that \"tropes in aggregate\" are things that are only tropes because they appear in a lot of things. But... isn\'t that what makes a trope in the first place? Something that has less than three examples isn\'t a trope, right? So what makes something a trope \'\'at all\'\' is that it\'s a pattern that appears in multiple works. I don\'t see why stereotype tropes are different in that respect.
The only thing I can think of that makes these tropes different is that other tropes have some sort of cause-and-effect implication between their different elements, but that\'s not necessarily true. (And it\'s not necessarily untrue about these - presumably the reason someone would write a stereotypical character is that they believe the stereotype holds true in real life...)
