This so much.

Deconstruction is a method of critical analysis of philosophical and literary language that emphasizes the internal workings of language and conceptual systems, the relational quality of meaning, and the assumptions implicit in forms of expression. It is an attempt to rectify the inability of language to describe an objective reality by using it's usage to derive the processes of it's formation.

If language is not particularly apt to conveying reality, then it stands to reason that narrative devices, which are built on narratives, which are built largely on language, would do no better. And yet, here there are websites like tvtropes, applying the same methodology to them as deconstruction does to language, which is patently absurd and holds no real value because of this.

It is to analyze a work of text within the context of the text without any outside textual influence. An established work can't be a deconstruction. You can't deconstruct a genre because as stated before it is inclusive of other works.

Basically one infamous essay pimping Watchmen by repeating the word every second paragraph with no attempt at justifying its use made the term a cool buzzword among comic readers, so now TVtropes and other impressionable retards think it means a work that subverts or plays around with tropes common in its genre, or even worse offers a "realistic" take on a genre.

So you're saying that the action becomes meaningless because the wrong word is used for it, while explaning how words aren't necessarily representative of the things they refer to?
