I honestly can't think of any tropes I like. Unless they're averted or subverted or even lampshaded (e.g. GRRM making his "Lady Of War" actually ugly and a source of ridicule for the knights, exposing their "chivalry" for what it is - sexism, or IW's nod to the too frequent helicopter crashes in their genre with the glorious fakeout in MW3 - I laughed out loud when the pilot gets it back under control and you fly calmly away), I loathe it when tropes show up in fiction to the point of avoiding or dropping works too riddled with them.

Tropes I particularly hate and will drive me away from a show or book or game immediately? Fridging. Love triangles. Will they/Won't they. Minority Feisty. Age gaps that only run in one direction. Bedroom roles define out of bedroom personalities. Rape As Backstory/Drama (rape can happen, but it serves a purpose besides making shit Darker And Edgier, and it does not increase a character's Power Levels). Faux Action Girls. I forget what it's called, but when a character clearly speaks for the author on an issue.

...And many, many more. But those are the ones I can think of off the top of my head.

No one likes love triangles. NO ONE!
