Re: Tropes that irrationally annoy the hell out of you.

[(Anonymous)]

You gotta either accept genre conventions or get out of the genre Case.

Re: Tropes that irrationally annoy the hell out of you.

[(Anonymous)]

I disagree with this view. There's nothing wrong with wanting things to be well-written.

Re: Tropes that irrationally annoy the hell out of you.

[(Anonymous)]

There is well written, and then there is written to your own personal determination of what you feel ought to be right and wrong. Case is calling for the latter (an unsurprisingly authoritarian and judgemental approach really).

Huh?

"Tropes that irrationally annoy the hell out of you."

I listed some. What's the calling anyone to do anything?

Re: Tropes that irrationally annoy the hell out of you.

first, you should probably set aside what i'm saying and what case is saying, because what case is saying is much more reasonable

second, i think there are probably some situations where genre conventions or cliches lead simply to bad writing

third, i guess i'm just uncomfortable with any iteration of "you don't like this thing? well either deal with it or GTFO of the genre." it's okay to have tastes and to like and dislike things. especially in the context of what Case was actually saying. he wasn't saying that no one should write like that, just that he personally disliked those things - and your response was that if he didn't care for that stuff, there was no point being in the genre at all. i mean, what the fuck is that

Re: Tropes that irrationally annoy the hell out of you.

That was a little confusing, yeah. "You don't like women in magic bikini armor? Stop playing video games!"

No...?

Re: Tropes that irrationally annoy the hell out of you.

[case]

Nah, that doesn't make sense. If we either accept every single convention or get out, then every single canon within the genre would have exactly the same tropes - no variation allowed, or else it's not "True ____"! There are plenty of zombie/superhero/soap opera conventions that don't rely on genre blindness to exist.
