Patiently awaiting the release of Paper Luigi and the Marvelous Compass.

Regarding RWBY.

The Volume 1 Weiss/Blake argument about the Faunus, keeps periodically being added back to this page. It is misuse of the trope, which is why it keeps being removed. Most recently, it went to the Is This An Example? thread, which triggered a Laconic rewrite to make the trope's intention as clear as possible.

This trope is not an audience-reaction trope. It doesn't matter whether the audience can see that both sides have a point. The trope is about a character who — in-universe — is faced with having to make a decision when they can see that both sides of the argument have a point.
