 * The existence of female characters that only exists to get with the main hunky boy protagonist. The best way to explain this is Twilight, which uses this as the main plot. Usually, it is just a pair of beautiful boys and ladies and serves nothing but just as a romance fantasy for young girls on audience watching the series/movie reading the book etc. and I always hate for that. Every time that is done, it is done with a character that has much as charisma as a fucking blank.
 * Repetition to Play Things Safely. You create a story, build the concepts around the story to complete the world but your next stories are nothing just as the same as before. That's why I'm not really a fan of Pokémon anymore, as it has a lot of unique ideas that could be worked into the game proprely but every single game is the same thing and this even sadly applies to some of the spin-offs of the franchise as well. Sonic Blur was created as a way to show what can be done with the franchise if you stop doing the same thing over and over again.
 * Some representation of LGBT characters in the media. I seriously don't understand how some writers think that only straight people can be normal in social circles and LGBT characters have to be the lol-so-wacky character reliefs. I don't mind LGBT comic reliefs but yknow, some people think that are just that.
 * Dark for the sake of Darkness. My main point of criticism against Man of Steel and the DC Extended Universe as a whole because they don't really have a goddamn reason to be dark. Sure, there has been DC comics with dark undertones, but yknow, there is no reason to why Superman can't save his father from a tornado because yknow he is Superman. There is only one thing that can kill him and that thing is only used as a contrived plot point to make the villian look threathing. Suicide Squad was already a series that I hated on the comics and Jared Leto's portrayal of "AH LOOK AT ME I AM THE JOKER PLEASE NOTICE THAT I AM PSYCHOPATH AAH" is not really one that I like, compared to Heath Ledger's more quiet but still threating portrayal of the same character.
 * People Complaining About A Game Just Because It Appears Everywhere. I got in Undertale and I have seen so many people not actually criticizing the game's weak points (let's be fair, Undertale is not perfect but then again nothing is.), but instead criticizing the game because gasp people are making videos about it! This is what killed Amnesia and FNAF because people couldn't just yknow, ignore the fucking videos.
