Re: Common tropes/cliches you hate

[ariakas]

Yeah the first one of those seems like some insanely masturbatory male fantasy by a dude who's never met a woman who is actually very good at fight or sports in his life, and is a great excuse to pair her off with his Awesome Protagonist (who is, naturally, better than her at those thing). With an added bonus of her being untouched by other men, who aren't as awesome!

Me, well, I'm sick of fridging to the point where I just won't read or watch it anymore. Some dude's barely developed wife/daughter/girlfriend/some variety of female is killed off purely for the purpose of motivating angst? Thanks but no thanks, I'm putting it down/turning it off. Case in point: immediate cancellation of my Watch_Dogs preorder the second I found out what the protagonist's backstory was going to be. I know I'm not the world's arbiter of taste or good writing, and feel free not to give a fuck what I think, but if you put that in your shit you will never see a red cent from me, and I've encouraged - and continue to encourage - anyone who's as sick of the trope as I am to do the same. I think we could give this trope a rest for a few decades, if not more.

I mentioned the whole grizzled 30-something white male asskicker with manpain as protagonist last time, but I'd be pretty much okay with that disappearing for the rest of my life, too.

Ah, Watch Dogs. I admit I haven't played it, so I'm sure there's context I'm missing, but I've been told that the only female character who doesn't get killed to make a male character angst is a victim of sex trafficking who vanishes from the plot after being rescued.
