So a pet peeve of mine is when people use TVtropes (and often link to the site) to explain stuff. First, that's being lazy. Second, a trope is both a good and a bad thing so I don't know if someone is being positive or critical when I see it.
If it were just you I wouldn't complain. It just reminded me the number of times I've seen it and how people use it to explain stuff. Want to say I've had a good 30 users over the course do that to me. I used to think it was a bad thing as tropes and cliches go hand and hand.
