Halfway there!
Favorite Tropes to Subvert? ALL OF THEM!
But seriously, a few come to mind.
You will never, ever see a "Women in Refrigerators" situation in one of my games. No woman will ever be killed to forward a male character's arc. Never.
You will never, ever see rape as a means of helping to build up a character as via a Rape-and-Revenge arc. As in when you take a character down to their lowest levels so they can be built back up into something more powerful. I guess the trope could be called the "I Spit on Your Grave" trope.
Most of all you will never, ever see a "Bury Your Gays" or a "Dead/Evil Lesbian cliché" in anything I publish. Ever.
"But", you may ask "what if the story calls for it?"
Sorry, but no. Time to write a new fucking story then.
"But aren't you giving 'special treatment' to a certain group?"
No. And also fuck you, go write your own fucking games and don't buy mine if that is what you think.
These are my lines in the sand.
