Tropes are devices and conventions that a writer can reasonably rely on as being present in the audience members' minds and expectations. On the whole, tropes are not clichés. The word clichéd means "stereotyped and trite." In other words, dull and uninteresting. We are not looking for dull and uninteresting entries. We are here to recognize tropes and play with them, not to make fun of them.

Elves in fantasy novels.
Literally the most recycled shit concepts that some authors seem to think are an obligation to include.

Don't normally get caught up on tropes tbh. Or at least they don't bother me as much as they seem to bother others.

An easy way to say it is this:
Any trope associated with the character Yoko Littner is a trope that I absolutely abhor.

Plus a few others. And many more that I'm likely forgetting.
