An Entity of Type : owl:Thing, within Data Space : 134.155.108.49:8890 associated with source dataset(s)

Not an index, but a Trope Trope: When a trope is either so played out, so stupid, or so racist/sexist/whatever, that seeing it makes some portion of the audience go berserk. Wall Bangers are made of these. Part of the death cycle for a trope; any trope that qualifies is already at least close to becoming a Discredited Trope. Sometimes this is due to Values Dissonance making a trope obsolete. Continuing to use such a trope when the underlying morality behind it has been discredited is sure to get some annoyed reactions. No examples, please. This article defines the term.

Note that subversions and deconstructions are probably already playing too close to the line, and playing them with even a hint that they're being played straight will get certain people up in arms. See also Trope Enjoyment Loophole for possible reasons why a trope that's normally a Pet Peeve Trope is, in one particular case, not pressing your Berserk Button. Compare Discredited Trope. Contrast Favorite Trope. Generally someone's Berserk Button. No examples, please. This article defines the term.
