Personally, I think tropes falls and should fall under the no shaming rule. I rather people like your describe go blow their wad/vitriol on tumblr. I rather they stayed off the discussion boards too or we can just stop flagging that memes "are/should safe spaces for kinky people". Or maybe this meme isn't supposed to be that? Cannot find the typical "safe space" statement here. Anyhow, I don't find that nonnies should be concerned that their prompts or fills are being complained about somewhere on the meme. Especially when there's a large groups nonnies that don't usually come here.

At least with the shaming and ridiculing and pure brain-dead complaining. If you want something else you should say that. Maybe try create a fest for it or create positivity for your preference than negativity for the preferences of others. Etc.

About the criticism I've seen about innocent!Finn. It seems to boil down two things:

Firstly, it is the amount, which really isn't an adequate criticism of tropes. Recurrence is an inherent and defining feature of a trope. And when the recurrence isn't due to spam then it's likely due to people liking and wanting to innocent!Finn. So such "criticism" is in a way criticism of their preference and in a way also shaming.

Second it that there's something wrong with their interpretation or wanted portrayal of the characters. I don't think memes are the right venue for this kind of criticism. It creates unnecessary conflict and invites to shit like "shipping wars or "who's the one true bottom?" etc...
