> unrealistic tropes

mmmmm...some tropes are rooted firmly in reality, maybe a little exaggerated sometimes, but there is truth to them nonetheless, just like there is some truth stereotypes.

I think there is nothing inherently wrong with using tropes. Freedom to choose is what is important. If the author wants to use tropes, they should be able to.

Nobody is questioning that. However, you’re pretending that doing the same thing as everybody else has always done is ‘using your imagination’, which is laughable.
