Not sure what the clichés about Fate are. I think it’s a fun light system.
Also there are dozens of us who prefer vampire: the requiem over masquerade. Dozens! I recently started a game of it. So far they killed 3 CEOs and blew up a data center (in the game).
It’s been fun seeing the DND player adapt to “wait I can just do my cool thing as much as I want?”. Like he was going to punch a dude and I was like “are you sure you don’t want to just Mesmerize him? It’s free and more likely to work, given your stats”

If I were making a list of clichés about FATE, I would have to include some variant of “GM may I” on the list.
Like “GM can I invoke my Aspect of ‘Grizzled Private Investgator’ to get a bonus to chasing this guy? I do run a lot.”
And maybe the stereotype of playing Microscope at every session 0, or being a wannabe improv comedian
(I’ve run a lot of FATE and it’s my favorite least favorite system 🤣)
