Re: What fandom tropes, character types, or plots do you hate yourself for getting into?

[nonnymouscawitz]

In real life, I can't stand the fact that women hitting/being nasty to their partners is seen as 'cute' because women are 'harmless.' And yet my favorite pairings often involve 'Abrasive, occasionally violent girl/Good-natured guy.' (See: Helga/Arnold from Hey Arnold, or Sam/Freddie from iCarly. Both of which are the most dated references I could think of, of course.)

Helga/Arnold is the only example of that in my favorite pairings...but it is indeed a perfect example of the sort of pairing you mention.

I think in their case, at least, it helps that Helga's behavior isn't condoned (she goes to therapy over hitting Brainy), that Arnold calls her out on it, and that as the series goes on she works a little more to try and curb some of those violent tendencies. Still, though...

Re: What fandom tropes, character types, or plots do you hate yourself for getting into?

Yeah, but the therapy episode came relatively late in the series, and for the most part her aggressive behavior is either played for laughs or 'They only pick on you because they have a crush on you' which is an awful message for kids. And yet I love them so damn much, and I can't wait for the movie next year. I'm hoping it reconciles some of Helga's issues.

This is true. Good point.

But yeah, I'm excited for the movie, too. It's especially awesome that they were able to get so much of the original cast back :D.

I know! I'm so excited but it's still so far away. And I do not wait patiently for things.
