cjsdowg 03/07/22 12:28:28 AM #1:	The Main Character is treated by shit by someone, and he goes out of his way to try to win him over. As seen in My Hero, and is the Base of Naruto. I had to cut both of those lose because of that. Having Pity for the bad guy and letting him or her get away. As seen in ~~AOT and Naruto.~~ Abusive women. That is not fun at all. Hell Naruto has that too. (LOL) I still not go into the perverted stuff. A lot of those tropes on my list. --- To be a poor man is hard, but to be a poor race in a land of dollars is the very bottom of hardships. W.E.B.

That and when characters just make weird noises for no reason during a silence. One guy will say something and rather than saying anything at all, a girl will be like Ah-hmmm! with a close-eyed smile. </quote> ... Copied to Clipboard!

I mean who's bright idea is for a guy to be loved by all these women but at the same time to stupid,cowardly or a whatever to make a move. I would assume the intent is a power fantasy of being adored by multiple women. But if the MC ends up dating one of them, then that changes the dynamic. So they keep it going indefinitely, by just making the MC too afraid to pick, or too dense to even realize he's being hit on. I outright avoid anime if they go with the "dense MC" harem now. Like I actually liked Death March. He's 29 in real life, so he sees the girls in his harem as children. So he's like no thanks and finds some hookers instead.

IShall_Run_Amok 03/08/22 3:03:45 PM #50:	008Zulu posted... The girl who looks 12 is really 5,000 years old. This. A lot of anime tropes make me roll my eyes, enough so that I generally tap out of the show (one season of AoT and two and a half of MHA were all I could stomach), but the whole "sexy children" thing in general is gross as well, and it's only there to pander to fetishists, so I actively dislike it. Its even worse when they try to justify it with the whole 9000 year old shit, because they really think you're that stupid. Like, come on bro. It's not really a trope, but I also just hate the way some manga and anime tell stories. AoT and MHA start off with compelling premises, then overcomplicate the story in ways I couldn't give less of a shit about, in addition to flanderizing the elements that made the premise so viscerally interesting. Not that I can put my finger on what, exactly, I don't like, of course. --- Shut up, Merkabah. <cite>IShall_Run_Amok posted [p:963274985] in What is yo...

Anime where they protray the main character as a nobody competing with with the big shots, eluding to a "anyone can do it if they try hard enough" theme, only to reveal that the main character is the chosen one or the child of some god or some shit. Oh God, this is exactly the problem I have with ~~the MC Alm~~ from Fire Emblem Gaiden. But the whole "We're too good to kill Hitler!" trope is dumb as well. Especially when you had no problem slaughtering wave after wave of mook, but no suddenly we have to play pacifist when it comes to the guy who wants to murder billions. Because it's only murder when they have a name! I'm probably in the minority here in that I actually like harems. When I became older though, there are some things I've grown a distaste for. 1. The super abusive and violent types. Like they'll beat the shit out of the MC over little to no provocation, not even giving them a chance to explain themselves. 2. A harem that's predetermined from the very beginning. You could have over a dozen of attractive, interesting, and well written girls who all have a ton of chemistry with the MC. But go fuck yourself, he's only interested in the 'Main Girl' who he once talked to in kindergarten. She'll spend 80% of her screen time abusing him, but in the end she'll have a bun in her oven while the rest of the girls get cucked. And 3. No one knows how to knock.
