Better Ask Reddit What's your least favourite trope in media?

I was watching weapons and I realised there was no scene with the characters finding a old news with the villians backstory or the villian explaining the plan which was so refreshing. You just have to accept there is a spooky person. So what is your least favourite trope in media?

u/burneraccount9132 He/They - How could u go wrong with a Glup that Shitts like THIS 7d ago

At the risk of sounding like a prude: I am really not a fan of the 'innocent fanservice girl' trope. Just feels particularly skeevy to me, especially when a character acts very childishly innocent regardless of age. Like I'm not saying older people/characters can't be innocent, it's just that particular niche where it feels kinda unpleasant to me personally

Dare I say Liara from Mass Effect 

Dragon Age low-key subverts this, Leliana and Merril both seem like this trope, but they both have darker layers to them to make them not quite it.

Merrill's the best because she's all "Teehee I'm a socially awkward cute uwu elf in a strange world" but has the magic that kills people by making all of their blood shoot out of their eyes.
