I hate that one trope where there's an alien or a guy from an isolated tribe that's never been to America, and they come to America and their new American friends show them shopping malls and fast food and the outsider is all "This is amazing! I love America!"

Just once I'd like this trope to be subverted with the alien or whatever spitting out the fast food and saying something like, "Oh god, what is this shit? It's giving me a heart attack!" or they go to a mall and are mortified by the advertising and that they have to slave away to afford any of it.

Are there any tropes you're tired of? They can be as dumb and petty as you want. It's fun to rip on pointless things sometimes.

    "Some people are just inherently superior over other and deserve to have all good things in life. Meanwhile equality is impossible and anyone who fights for it are secretly evil hypocrite who wants to be superior themselves.

    Also, equality is just white superior people genocide, the strong and beautiful would be oppressed while the inferiors and underserving would be in charge".

    You notice this trope once and you suddenly realizes that like 70-80% of fiction in existence have this trope like some sort of They Live bullshit. Holy shit.

    edit: we live in a fascist :society:
