I agree. I wish they'd change it to Platonic Life Partners. I see that used frequently already in fandom and real life.

[(Anonymous)]

I tried to upvote this comment.

So right. Plus, that's not gender-reliant. There are plenty of examples of people of different genders who are platonic life partners.

[(Anonymous)]

Different Anon here but, I always know when I've spent too much time on reddit when I try and up or downvote comments here XD

[(Anonymous)]

AYRT. Yes!

[(Anonymous)]

the trope name comes from the movie Dogma where Jay describes Silent Bob as his 'heterosexual life partner' and Bob nods emphatically.

[(Anonymous)]

I call my best friend my hetero life partner as a joke reference to this movie. We are both queer women.

[(Anonymous)]

Shhhhh pipe down with logic and facts. They’re not welcome here!

[(Anonymous)]

I wouldn't call a reference to a movie that's become relatively obscure to the point of being meaningless "logic and facts" but okay

TV Tropes changes tropes named in reference to specific pieces of media to ones that are more universal and accurately recognizable all the time. Creator's Pet used to be called The Wesley, Alpha Bitch used to be called The Libby...

[(Anonymous)]

…you mean the reference that’s in the article? O-kay. Huh. Are you the sister of OP in the first secret by any chance?

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, fandom used to be able to tell that something was a reference gag, even if it was referencing something that they, specifically, hadn’t seen. Those were good days. I miss them.

[(Anonymous)]

That was part of the fun of fandom - the fandom knowledge osmosis. Im sad that it has disappeared in so many ways.

Platonic Life Partners are a related but separate trope.

nayrt

[(Anonymous)]

Honestly, I always thought the distinction between these two was fake. I should bring them to TRS, probably maybe. (I am probably not going to bring them to TRS, that's so much work...)

[(Anonymous)]

So people are basically sorting their fandoms under an incorrect trope on occasion?

[akacat]

Right? And I’ve never heard “heterosexual life partners” irl, while I’ve heard “platonic life partners” fairly often.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, that was my immediate thought, too. I look at Heterosexual Life Partners and I think about my parents, for instance
