👉 "TMF stands for The Misfit trope, a comedic genre that often involves misanthropic characters who have no interest in societal norms and are instead drawn to their own interests and quirks."
Example: In a science fiction story where the protagonist is a recluse who only interacts with other "misfits" like herself, she decides to start dating someone who doesn't think much of her. This leads to them constantly having to fake being together and ignoring each other's feelings for various reasons. The story ends with the character realizing that they are actually alone and starting their own adventure with a misfit friend. The Misfit trope is not only a humorous but also an edgy genre where characters who are unlikeable, unloved or have no real interest in society's norms find themselves drawn to other "misfits" for attention or affection.
