Sometimes people are fed up with movie tropes that are almost always the same. A Reddit user asked, “What’s a movie trope you absolutely HATE?” and here are 40 of the best responses.
1.
Turning on the TV at the exact moment a relevant news report starts.
2.
“You have to trust me” or “there’s no time to explain”. In 9 out of 10 cases, there’s definitely time to explain, and the explanation would take less time thay trying to convince the other party to blindly trust you.
3.
Domestic violence against men = Comedy
4.
The sexy teacher trope.
I spent two years teaching high school as a young woman fresh out of college. I had many very uncomfortable interactions with male students, who thought it was funny.
TV makes it seem like it’s okay for teenagers to be lusting after their teachers if they’re young and reasonably attractive. It’s a joke, it’s funny. The TV dads hit on their kids teacher, make comments about their dress or their body. It transfers to the real world.
It is never, ever okay to sexually harass someone at their occupation. This include teachers, wait staff, flight stewards….anything.
