re common denominators. Their viewers recognize them, laugh at them or Groan at them, but most of us can guess where they're coming from - specifically, what cultural values are embodied in the tropes. Unfortunately, some tropes just do not travel very well. They're fine on their home turf, where everyone understands them and knows what the value system they're based on. When that tropes makes the trip to another country however, it gets seasick on the way over, arriving at the port looking distinctly disheveled and finding itself among strangers who have no idea what they're talking about. Since there are so many countries and cultures in the world, it's not Surprising that there are so many different outlooks on life - what's important, who's important, what constitutes justice and what Qualifies as Cruelty changes according to where you are. Even in countries that speak the same language, values can be different. The UK and the USA, for example, share a language and are regarded as culturally similar to one another ... but handguns are legal in the USA, while they are banned in the UK. The UK also has no death penalty, while many States in the USA do. This leads to some fundamental differences in the way the legal system is perceived, even between two countries that are supposedly alike. Sometimes, the difference is even closer to home. A show where the death penalty for a criminal is a good ending in a state that accepts such a measure may not be as accepted as such in a state that frowns on execution. With the multicultural nature of many places, sometimes a tropes only has to go down the street to become completely unrecognizable. Differing religions, backgrounds or life experiences can mean that a person's view of a tropes differs from the "standard" the tropes is derived from. Other tropes find it difficult to age gracefully. The world being the dynamic and Evolving place that it is, some aspects of the media do not quite manage to keep pace with the time, and become the "Grumpy Old Men" of Tropeland. Very often, the tropes in question is An Aesop, and exporting it, or viewing it twenty years later than the time it was created, results in a transformation into a Family Unfriendly Aesop. If you see an example here that you disagree with, please refrain from adding your own interpretation. This wiki is multicultural, so there will be some examples that are dissonant for you. See also Unfortunate Implications. Compare Moral Dissonance, where the show breaks its own Morals. Also see Germans Love David Hasselhoff, in which it's Critical Acclaim rather than the moral values that is on the line. Also see Fair For Its Day, in which the work actually has less dissonance values than its contemporaries. See Culture Clash and for when this happens in-story and deliberate Values Dissonance for when the author is doing it on purpose. Also see Have A Gay Old Time and Get Thee To A Nunnery, where dialogue is interpreted differently due to this. Has similarity to Good Bad Flaws Flaws. Examples open / close all folders Advertising * Commercials for Underoos brand underwear, once omnipresent on Saturday Morning TV Vanished in the early 90s - a combination of networks' programming targeting older kids and increasing paranoia over anything that could even be implied to sexualize kids. Do a search for "Underoos" at You Tube and judge for yourself. o Tell that to JC Penny and their miniature Britney Spears costumes for 4 year-olds. o Or, over here in NZ, the T-Shirt shop that sold "Future Porn Star" shirts in all sizes.
