What character archetypes do you hate?

Anime perverts. Sanji, Mineta, Shinji Ikari, Master Roshi. Especially since so many are supposed to be heroes. At least Mori on Bungo Stray Dogs is supposed to be a monster.

Also really hate the female versions because with the male versions, most sane people actually agree it's creepy. Female characters keep getting a pass for their shit because it's supposed to be cute/funny/sexy. Ugh.

Mei Mei. >:[

The One Piece live action adaption was the first time I truly liked Sanji cause they took that aspect of his character out and it was SO NICE, cause I'd usually love a character who believes that no one should ever be hungry.

I really would not group Shinji Ikari with the rest of those characters. Shinji is like... the most average teenage boy in anime history. He is not "a pervert".
He does some despicable perverted stuff, but... uhm... have you ever meet a teenage boys?
Because let me tell you... a lot of them are way worse than Shinji (and one of his friends is actually more of a pervert than him!).
I'm not surprised that Shinji does what he does given his problems and the context he lives in (no mother, no father figure, he lives with Misato-san and Asuka, he risks dying pretty much any other day etc etc). He also kid of hates himself for that, so...? He's really not a "pervert anime character".
His character is actually a subversion of that trope. I'm confused by this list, lol

Useless female characters that are only there to be the macguffin (someone's daughter/girlfriend/thing to be rescued) or a love interest, but who doesn't actually have anything to do with the plot or have her own character arc (other than being a prize for the main male character). Give her a skill goddamnit.

Don't forget "and if you don't gush in fandom about how she is a flawless queen and So Important, you're a misogynist."

yeah, this.

Default-dere tsundere. The ones whose normal personality is "nice person" and only turns angry when their crush does something often innocuous and unintentional to make them mad. Default-tsun are adorable, love them, but default-dere come off as fake and childish. Dunno why, maybe because I've known real people who were like that (minus the physical violence) and my opinion of them was that they needed to grow up and learn to control their tempers, while if someone is cranky and mean most of the time it's probably because of some deeper issue that I'd be sympathetic towards.

Antiheroes who aren't genuinely good people. I like a Han Solo type or the Boromir type, not a hero in name only or even a full on evil jackass who is only the "hero" because the villain is worse. Just not my thing at all.

Woobie villains who start out as villains but suddenly they aren't really villains and never were. I love a good redemption arc, but it has to work. it has to be believable. And it can't just ignore the past and pretend it never happened.

Perfect precocious children who are basically tiny (idealized) adults with a couple adorable childlike quirks tacked on.

The only good thing about them is that they're usually killed off to motivate the protagonist and I don't have to deal with them anymore. (Suzanne Collins took way too long to kill Prim...I did like Rue though weirdly enough.)

Soapbox mouthpiece characters. The type that's only there to preach the author's beliefs at you. I mean, a lot of autgors have characters do this low-key but some are just tooo obnoxious and obvious to ignore.
