Thread:Trope Workshop talk:No Place for Any Adolescent/Parts of this are almost incomprehensible/reply (2)

No, the trope is not so much what the laconic says, but more "No children or teens allowed, at all". Kind of the exact opposite of a Logan's Run (literary version) world.

The paragraph I quoted is indicating that what constitutes a non-adult is culturally specific, so different parts of the world would have different ages at which the "youth ban" applies, so the trope's implementation varies (and outsiders may not see the trope in action if the differences are great).

I think the trope idea is good and is supported well by the examples, but the article desperately needs a rewrite by someone who actually can do standard English.
