Date: 2019-07-26 02:52 pm (UTC)- Love triangles. The traditional one where one person "has to" choose (or leads them both on) and the odd one out is cut out of the story forever/goes evil.
- When a character crushes on someone, is rejected, and the narrative has them continue to carry a torch and hit on the object of their affection every now and again. Really, anything with not taking no for an answer. Ugh.
- "Men and women can't just be friends"
- "Dark and gritty" in the Game of Thrones sense where there is lots and lots and lots of completely gratuitous violence (esp sexual).
But I don't think I have anything that will make me stop reading/watching, because some tropes can be subverted or written well enough to be worth it?
