Generality of definition

[edit]

I've changed it to reflect its more general application, though the meaning itself is quite the same. As an example of the word being applied to describe something other than adversaries of authority, see https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SubvertedTrope, "Basically, this is playing bait and switch with a trope. A work makes you think a trope is going to happen, but it doesn't." Probably not a great quotation to include in the entry, but I'll leave it here. AP295 (talk) 16:20, 4 December 2023 (UTC)Reply
