-A male character that has stereotypically feminine or "uke" traits (caring, gentle, emotional, shorter and cute, etc) is raped so female readers can get off on it. (I love that sort of character type, so I run into this a loooot with my favorite characters. One in particular, ugh.)

-Character A, who is canonically involved with Character B, suddenly decides they're in love with Character C without proper build-up. Just...nope, that relationship means nothing, I want C now. It makes A look really fickle and unloyal IMO.

-This is sort of fandom-specific since I run into it a lot in one particular fandom, but I'd imagine it happens in other ones...Fakir in Princess Tutu is the dark, broody, serious type, but he's also portrayed as veeeeery awkward around other people and EXTREMELY shy around nudity. (There's a running gag throughout the show of him accidentally being around when the main character transforms from a duck into a girl--and she's always naked as a girl. At one point when he realizes she's transforming he runs about half a block away and hides behind a building until she gets dressed.)

For whatever reason the majority of smutty fanfic with him as a teenager has him written as being this super-confident, smouldering sex god in bed and it drives me nuts because it seems to clash a ton with how uncomfortable he is with nudity. I mean, if it was fanfic set when he's an adult, I don't have any problem with it, but I don't think there's any reason to have him be so perfect in bed as an awkward teenager.

(It makes slightly more sense when he's with Mytho, since he's around Mytho when he's nude a few times and he doesn't go running for the hills then, but it still seems odd for him to be all...competent and experienced, suddenly.)

Oh, and that reminds me, I also hate hate hate hate hate hate fanfic that has Fakir raping Mytho (related to my first complaint I guess). It makes ABSOLUTELY no sense for Fakir to rape him. Dubcon maybe since he starts out being emotionally manipulative and abusive toward Mytho, but a lot of the stuff I've read has Mytho blatantly saying "no" and Fakir ignoring it and oh man that bothers me.

You know, it's unfortunate that that's the case, because I could see it being very fun to write a fic about this sort of character trying to bed someone and having to get past the OMG NUDITY hang-up to be able to do it. There's comic gold, in there.

Exactly! That's the sort of thing I want to see so I'm always disappointed when it turns out he's not awkward in bed somehow. |D Although I think there's been a few fanfics like that, but they're in the minority for sure.
