I HATE This Fantasy Trope!

Brace for impact... there shall be nerd rage! xD Two-handed greatswords / claymores / buster swords / etc are cool and all. But when scrawny kids are shown bumbling around with them, being dragged off their feet by the weight that they clearly can’t handle... that’s a pet peeve. Fantasy is great, magic and superpowers can explain away all kinds of weirdness, but there is something irritating about edgy characters who pick an oversized weapon they can’t handle... Underweight pre-pubescent anime boys and fragile looking maids or schoolgirls in games and TV series are especially guilty of that.
