Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.
Acceptable Targets: Linda is overweight. Subverted when you realise Wendy will bully anyone who dares opposing her. Also subverted in that Bruce, who's described as being fatter than Linda, is easily accepted by his peers.
Designated Hero: Jill. We're supposed to cheer for her even when she's being a bratty bitch, and then we're supposed to see her as the poor little victim when karma comes back to bite her in the ass.
Unfortunate Implications / Double Standard: Linda is bullied for being slightly pudgier than the other girls, but Bruce Bonaventura is the fattest kid in class and is accepted as one of the gang. The rationale seems to be that Bruce laughs at himself easily while Linda is shy and passive, but still.
