Hey Pandas, What Tropes, Clichés And Roles Do You Like Or Hate? (Closed)

It can be from books, movies, TV shows (animated and non-animated), etc.

#1

Sick and tired of people saying “Oui, oui, baguette!” when I mention that I speak French.

#2

*the end of a movie*

“Well you’ll have to get through me first!”

“And me!”

“And me!”

Random kid who we’ve never seen before in the film: “And me!”

Literally everyone: “And me!”

#3

Ahh yes the guy just got a friend, time to kill him (i think the trope is called Fridging) also bonus points if the character has any drop of diversity.

#4

I hate the lesbian stereotypes where they don’t seem very girly. Same with the gay stereotypes where they are all feminine. We all know that isn’t true. No one looks a certain way because of who they want as a partner.

#5

Absolutely hate the trope when the wife of a nice suburban family makes this absolutely lavish breakfast with every food you can imagine that’s probably enough to feed a whole neighbourhood.

And then husband grabs a singular peice of toast and runs out the door because he will be late for work.

#6

That the man and a woman’s ‘happy ever after’ inevitably includes the woman getting pregnant in films and TV shows. It doesn’t happen for some of us and others may not want it.

#7

I despise the whole stereotypical mean girl with pink nails that always talk like they’re drunk, it doesn’t contribute anything

#8

LOVE: Enemies-to-Lovers, Best Friends/Work Partners to Lovers, Cocky Femme Fatale whose only place in the plot is to swing in with a quip and a tight leather outfit every so often, and, unfortunately, I am such a simp for a bad boy. Points if he’s toxic and triggers my daddy issues.

HATE: Gay Black Best Friend with No Backstory who exists just to hype on the straight, white main character

#9

In most movies, series etc, women are often negatively portrayed. They are often shown as vindictive, dishonest, arrogant, never-admitting-they-are-wrong, entitled jerks whom everyone seems to be able to not hate for some reason.

I also hate the cliché that says all good looking people are perfect and ugly people are evil / short people are weird / fat people are stupid / skinny people are lazy.

#10

I love bad boys who fall for good girls that are super possessive and a bit toxic. I also love the super innocent girl who is best friends with the protective/possessive bad boy but they both are “secretly” in love with each other
