Also, if we are keeping familial or platonic examples, can someone clarify the main description with what this trope looks like for family/platonic? The example given with Alice and Bob only describes it for romantic. For me, it is completely unclear from the description what this trope is about when people throw in family-platonic stuff, my first instinct is 'hey, shouldn't that be under Dad issue trope #3, parental abandonment, etc etc.' I know there is a little quick explanation about the familial/platonic thing, but it is not clear why it doesn't just fall under the cited welldonesonguy tropes ETC. If there could be a little more on that it would be helpful especially since all the nattering about fanfic distracts from it. (I missed it reading the first time around, the second time, I read it but it still did not clarify anything or why this even should be a separate trope for familial/platonic stuff. Nor does it clarify any kind of platonic love.) Also, it's far away from the alice/bob example, and I know I'm repeating but by the time you read about the 'bleh happens in fanfic a lot' you've completely forgotten about alice/bob example and got confused as to 'why is this even a trope' at the familial platonic side. it *really* feels like familial/platonic martyring should be a separate trope... is this trope just supposed to be unconditional love in an abusive one sided relationship? ...so confused.

Instinctively, I would think that the familial platonic examples are another trope (or if it doesn\'t exist yet, a reason to make another trope for it...?)

I've reread the description several times and nope. I still do *not* understand what this trope is about anymore. Any clarification would be helpful.
