I stated some of these in a few threads:
- Long narrations (I can make some exceptions)
- Long episodes that feel like a drag.
- Common names (Jack, Jill, Hailey/Hayley/Haley, Anna/Ana, Brad, Chad, John/Jon, Mia, and much more)
- Problematic/inappropriate themes (sxual assault, sx while drunk, mafia, etc.)
- Horrible influence best friends (I’m looking at you, Litzy from COMPLICATED)
- Bad boys/girls
- Mean girls with no character arcs
- Extremely ugly mean girls (those with the most unnatural facial features I’ve ever seen. I mean, come on, even my mean girl looks pretty with “somewhat” unnatural features because of fillers. Not to brag, though)
- Makeover stories (haha, nope)
- (relates to previous one) "I’m so ugly because of my glasses., Glasses, though? I’ve seen cute boys and pretty girls who pull off glasses like it’s nobody’s business.
- Cultural appropriation or misrepresentation
- “I’m not like other girls”. Well, you can count on me leaving for you saying that, you internalized misogynistic b*tch
- People who stay with their partners because they still see some good in them despite them being abusive. Just, wtf?
- Stories that get way too dramatic (I’m looking at you, Demi Lovato, Haute as Hell and Galactic Game)
- Gem choices. All kinds of them.
- Wearing crop tops and booty shorts in high school? How? 🤷🏽
- The “insult” name “loser”
- Stories that spoil everything for you in the first episode. (I’m looking at you, Desire…)
- When that character in that Episode story is so popular that you see them everywhere on Instagram memes (ahem Hunter from Him and I. I hate him now)
- Stories that glorify cheating (The Pregnancy Game)
- Annoying characters (for literally no reason, like Alyssa from Him and I and Christopher from The Shaw Brothers)
- Stories where not much is happening. Boooring.
That’s it for now, but I have many more to come. Maybe I’ll list the rest later.
