????

The trope in A/B/O fic where everyone has these rigid, defined 'roles', set practically from birth. And the ones where the Omega is this fluttery, soft, super-duper-subby person.

Forced marriage, pretend-relationship-for-work/to-fool-family.

This.

In media, forced romances because there happens to be a man and woman within 15 feet of each other.

ooh, I don't like that one either.

When the writing goes out of its way to have characters talk about how amazingly competent the female character is rather than just have her be a badass. Like when a guy gets shit done there isn't usually this particular type of "ooh, SCARY" reaction.

A/B/O

Same. I actually don't mind stuff like mpreg, but A/B/O just turns me off.

Religious straw-man characters, both atheist and Christian these days.

Relationships where one or both parties are devoted to each other to the point where they will absolutely fuck over the party/the town/the world/the entire known universe for that one person's sake, and it's treated as noble or romantic.

It doesn't bug me when it's treated as something that puts the character somewhere on the spectrum of deeply flawed to outright evil depending on how bad the fucking-over is, but unfortunately "I'll murder the whole universe for my beloved" is something fandom eats up with a spoon, so even if canon acknowledges that hey, screwing over lots of people for one person is a shitty thing, 99% of fic will present it as pure true love.

Ugh. Yeah. That trope. :/

Yeah :/

I hate when a show and/or fandom treats some instances of “fuck the world, that’s my soulmate” as romantic and some as horrific depending on the character doing the saving/drstroying’s designated hero or villain (or in fandom, whether a character gets in the way of their preferred ship or dislikes their fan fave) status. It’s not suddenly more romantic when you think the characters destroying the world “for love” are hot, or more evil than when your fave kissed their true love as the world went kaboom because you dislike the ship in question.

I agree. Putting your romantic partner before the world, before the lives of innocents is not romantic, not hot, and not particularly good.

Anything involving enforced roles in the bedroom. I don't car who works for who, what gender they are or if they are alpha or omega. I want them to choose how they want to be in the bedroom. I want someone to be submissive because it turns them on, not because they are a woman, are an omega, are an employee, or have to for some other reason. I love D/s, but it is all about the choice for me. The choice is sexy in and of itself.

My other least favorite is humiliation. I've found exactly one pairing where it works for me, and even then only in small doses. If I'm not reading a Kylux fic, I really don't want to see humiliation.

give me D/s fic recs that fit your prefs. please.

In fanfiction, when authors try to have their characters perfectly aligned with their own political beliefs and ideals, no matter how OOC and unrealistic that would be. Yes I believe Steve Rogers would be supportive of civil rights and progressive causes he’s still a dude straight from the 40s when “Negro” was an accepted term and sodomy laws existed. He’s not going to have a flawless knowledge of modern-day nuances regarding race, gender, sexuality, etc.

He could if he wanted to, he's a smart guy.

Absolutely, yes but that’s something that takes time and effort to develop. And in all the fics I’ve read, everyone seems to skip over the steps of “character working to educate themselves and become better people” just so they can have their pwecious perfect Unproblematic Fave.

And of course everyone the character likes is 10000% woke and absolutely perfect at navigating issues of race and gender and goes out binder-shopping when their friends come out as trans and volunteers at Planned Parenthood and are just these absolute paragons of Progressive Perfection.

I get there’s a certain amount of wish fulfillment involved and I certainly don’t blame anyone for this kind of wish fulfillment, it just feels...off to me I guess. I don’t know.

they hate eachother, then two seconds later they love eachother. euurrghh
