The worst thing about it is how absolutely unclever it actually is, but you can just tell the person writing it thinks they are being clever. It's just oozes the fact they really think no one else has truly noticed the tropes, and they are somehow witty for pointing it out and now the audience won't be able to not notice it. Or that the author thinks they are smart for pointing out how silly it we just accept these tropes, even though it is not clever or insightful to notice what everyone sees as a necessary convention of progression; it's accepted because concessions of one form or another always have to be made in service to game play.
You can just picture the people who write these kinds of things. They are the dumb college kid who gets their mind blown one night while smoking a joint and realize, "Holy shit! There are 8 billion people on the planet! That's a lot of people!" But their mind is genuinely blown, because they are some of the most vapid, up their own ass, uncurious people on the planet, who are legitimately shocked and think they have discovered something profound when they stumble across common knowledge everyone who ever bothered to express curiosity before already knows.
The only exception is like in
>>724592601 where it's self-deprecating and the author is going, "I hope I lived up to what the audience's expectations, because so much of this is very silly."
