Adding onto @kahotshot’s list:
- Girls that are shown eating a lot (usually as a joke/for comedy but it’s never funny)
- Bad boys with tragic pasts (almost always a dead sibling/parent)
- Gangs/mafia stories that are based on Hispanic or Italian characters (and then they just throw in dialogue in their language every once in awhile, which isn’t how they actually speak)
- P.R.E.G.A.N.C.Y
- Glorified relationships between students and teachers/professors
- Glorified relationships between people and their bosses (which is fine ig but it’s usually the same plot)
- Shy girls/good girls that are abusive and/or suddenly become badasses
- Relationships that start from being kidnapped (just… why)
Uhhhh I could keep going but you probably get the point
