We can't keep the crowd waiting, can we?

Isn't that part of tropers' misconception that you can jam whatever tropes you want into a story and it'll be a good story?

Of course, because Tropes Are Tools, and thus more tropes = more tools = better than. I (ostensibly) write fiction as a hobby, and there are days I wish I'd never heard of tropes or even the concept of the Mary Sue, because that poo poo gets into my head and makes me question literally every decision I have regarding my characters and plot. I just want to write, goddammit.

Wait, the gently caress is a "sex face turn"? Is it like the wrestling terminology? If so, how does this equate to sex? Or am I better off not knowing?

Bad guy turns good because he gets laid. More often (and more creepy), evil female character becomes good after seducing the protagonist, because she falls in love with him after a good shag.
