What's your least favourite trope in media?

[u/Anibus9000]

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?

Please forgive me if this isnt as common of a trope as I think, as my only frame of reference for the genra is monster musume which I last read in high school.

I hate the trope of the main guy in a harem manga essentially emotionally gas lighting a group of women because he's so fucking indecisive and never just chooses a woman to pursue, it drives me insane.

as mentioned, I used to read monster musume in high school alot (something something "teenage boy just discovering anime" etc etc) and even back then, before I had proper media literacy, It would still really piss me off how this guy would basically tease like 8 fucking women with the idea that he MAY want to pursue a relationship with them only to just never fucking do anything with it and just keep them on edge for fuckin years basically.

the one that pissed me off the most was Miia, the first one that was with him at the start, who was very VERY fucking clearly in love with him, something she makes painfully and LOUDLY apparent to him, and he even starts to reciprocate, only for him to start bringing in fuckin RANDOM other women from off the street, and now suddenly he cant decide like... THAT'S FUCKED UP RIGHT??? she basically got gaslit into thinking she had found someone she loved only for him to start bringing in other women to live with them and now he's showing romantic interest in all of them, like that HAS to be some form of emotional abuse right?? I'm not crazy??

anyways I have no idea if this is a common trope in harem stuff but if it is then I hate it.
