[QUOTE="Silvercat Moonpaw, post: 5395079, member: 46652"] Tropes I'd like to die (that I can think of at the moment): * Morality assigned by biology or type of being. * Objective morality. I know [i]why[/i] they exist (why people want them, anyway), but feel like I can get all the same fun without them. I don't really expect anyone to give them up, just wishing. One that I do want to die is "Humans are the most adaptable/versatile/varied/badass race". The key word here is "the most": if humans are adaptable/versatile/varied/badass that doesn't bother me, it's only the statement of extremity. I feel like this restricts possibilities for finding new things, that even if you take it to possibly not be true that the bar's been set just a bit too high to make it worth bothering. Plus is smacks of "Chosen One" Syndrome: someone is going to be the center of attention for what they are innately, rather than something the accomplished by effort. [/QUOTE]
