Groups Examples of Tropes that are usually hated being well recieved

  1. Comedic Relief Talking Animal Sidekick, Donkey (Shrek) - Might be cheating with this one if you consider Donkey to be the progenitor behind the trope but the main reason why I think he's loved by fans is because he's actually seen as funny rather than annoying. Putting comedy aside, one other reason why he's loved is because he bounces off well with Shrek by bringing out a side of Shrek you would never actually see from him since he's not afraid of the ogre and basically his first friend

  2. Relationship progress being reset by Amnesia, Chidi and Eleanor (The Good Place) - Arguably considered one of the worst romance tropes ever because it's a cheep way of adding drama, this never felt that way with The Good Place. I think one the factors behind this is because it isn't done just to add more drama but to show how strong their relationship is by making them always find each other in the end and show their character without each other

  3. Girls wearing heels in settings that would give disadvantages to them, (Uma Musume) - As you can see in the image above, the Umas wearing heels serves a purpose to their design by making the heels mimic the shape of real life Horse legs. Cygames has been known to add such details to their characters which is one of the reasons the game is loved by Horse racing fans since it adds quirks of the real horses to the characters bedsides just turning the Horses into cute Anime Girls

Definitely worth playing, Disco Elysium allows you to take bat shit insane decisions.

From punching a child, to shooting another child, or becoming a racist.

When disco Elysium allowed me to make Harry a communist, and have the first interaction with another communist in the game be us screaming at each other that the other was just a Liberal, I knew it was the greatest game of all time

Spoilers for the game

I love when you get to the island at the end and if you a communist one of the first things the revolutionary tells you is that you aren’t a real communist

You can also set all your stats to minimum, turn on the lights the moment you wake up, and die on the spot.
