Re: Tropes that irrationally annoy the hell out of you.
(Anonymous) 2014-03-23 02:39 am (UTC)(link)The Manic Pixie Dreamgirl. Even in the rare instances that it's applied to guys. It's just the whole concept of "the love interest exists solely to bring you out of your shell and save you" and it's not like she has flaws or boring moments or other goals besides tending to your fragile self-esteem.
"The One" & soulmates. Because everyone is wandering the earth with a huge piece of themselves missing, doomed to misery, unless they somehow manage to find the other person, and join together in unholy symbiosis.
Most tropes around virginity & losing virginity & sexuality and how sex is either EEEEVIIIIL and if you have sex you will die especially if you're a woman. Or having sex is THE MOST IMPORANT LIFE GOAL EVER and everyone needs to be doing it all the time and it's a big competition and the moment you stick your penis in a woman you become A REAL MAN and confetti falls from the sky.
Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus because we're totally different species and there's no way we can possibly understand or empathize with each other and obviously liking pink is 100% innate and socialization and culture and historical context has absolutely nothing to do with it.
Possessive jealousy because nothing says a healthy relationship like "WHY ARE YOU HANGING OUT WITH THAT PERSON YOU CALL A FRIEND, GIVE ME YOUR PHONE SO I CAN TRACK YOUR EVERY MOVEMENT YOU BITCH. HAHA BUT NO REALLY I LOVE YOU SWEETIE."
basically 90% of romance novel tropes i don't find romantic at all
