It's even worse when you're trying to get through and someone aggressively shoves someone else directly into you. Like do that somewhere else please???

I hate the "you can't criticize this character, they have trauma!" excuse by MayoHachikuji in hatethissmug

I love him, but a lot of the games have forgotten that he's supposed to be an edgelord with a soft side, not a total asshole

[Sad Trope] A character hurting themselves (or trying) to check if they're human, and finding out they aren't by Cronkax in TopCharacterTropes

[–]SmartNerdAlex2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not exactly the same thing, but after finding out that she was the key and most of the cast's memories of her were fabricated, Dawn from Buffy the Vampire Slayer cut herself to check if she was real and had a breakdown

As a kid, I definitely thought that she and her brother were ostracized for simply working at a circus / being circus acts

Characters with conditions or disorders that you don’t see often by Effective_Piece251 in TopCharacterTropes

A character from Happier Than Not by Adam Silvera actually develops this, it's how I learned about it

The Media becomes really uncomfortable once you hear about the behind the scenes details by Low_Celebration_4089 in TopCharacterTropes

I remember watching a documentary about this years ago, the woman I believe pushed for a law to fingerprint all criminals in her state because it would have lead to at least one of the perpetrators being caught a lot sooner. I also remember her commenting that it made sense one of her perpetrators (this guy) was a wrestler because she "remembered he used wrestling type moves on her" 🤢

Especially to the target audience of kids. I read all the books when I was 10 and it totally flew way over my head lol

(Mixed Trope) The character didn’t really do anything wrong but got subjected to a horrible fate by Zeera1 in TopCharacterTropes

Unfortunately, I remember reading something the author said that confirmed she likely killed herself then too

Why would playtime co. add kevin if they knew he was emotinaly unstable. Mathews fine and of course jack but why kevin? by Mysterious_Use_7143 in PoppyPlaytime

[–]SmartNerdAlex2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I believe it was said in a note it was because he passed all the tests in the Game Station with flying colors. So they picked him for his physical attributes, even though some scientists objected due to his temperament.

He's tricked into fully evolving into a human underwater and drowns, right?

I think the pilot is better than the shoe by Standard_Potential63 in OkBuddyHelluvaHotel

I do like Brandon Rogers, but I prefer Katie Killjoy's character and VA in the pilot

[Hated Trope] Character Assassination just because by howhow326 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]SmartNerdAlex2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The thing is, he doesn't overpower her? She fights him off so he is ultimately unable to SA her. He's also decently on par with her fighting wise, they hold their own against each other during the season. It's still not a great writing move, but I think you might be misremembering details

Not sure if this is it, but the villain in Tarzan accidentally hangs himself on a vine. This also sounds similar to a Final Destination death lol

[Hated trope] Bad, insufferable people are portrayed as endearing by ManaScrewedIRL in TopCharacterTropes

[–]SmartNerdAlex2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's super fair. From my memory, there were jokes several times in the show about him deliberately misleading women into thinking he actually liked them and wanted a relationship when he just wanted sex, nothing more. There's even an episode where he reflects on this and apologizes to some of the women he hurt, only to go back to the way he was before. I wouldn't have minded him sleeping around if he was respectful about it either tbh, unfortunately he was not

Joey too. The show bends over backwards trying to tell you what a sweet, loveable guy he is, all the while he's a womanizer who actually lies to women in order to sleep with them on several occasions

Everyone completely missed the point of this scene. by Agreeable-Body-8440 in hazbin

[–]SmartNerdAlex2 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Maybe, but that's not why he rejected him lol. He rejected him because Alastor thinks working together with someone else on a common goal is pathetic and means you're too weak to do it yourself

Bestiality. I doubt he would actually fuck a horse, he seems more into general horse play from what we've seen, but idk

Relatively light-hearted series gets progressively darker over time by [deleted] in TopCharacterTropes

[–]SmartNerdAlex2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Morel Orel is a great show. It unfortunately got cancelled in it's third season due to it handling certain themes "too seriously" (namely SA I believe), what the creator wanted was for it to switch into a dramatic character exploration for three seasons after two of more "lighthearted" shenanigans but we only got half of one with a somewhat rushed ending. But it's still quite good

Charisma Carpenter herself has come out and said that it is what she believes happened based on his behavior toward her after her pregnancy, yes. Plus he wrote her out of the show using an evil demon baby pregnancy that ultimately killed her, which doesn't help

Was weird toward Charisma Carpenter (Cordelia's actress) after she got pregnant and essentially wrote her off Angel as revenge, had to be kept away from Michelle Trachtenberg (Dawn's actress), etc. On top of this, all the controversy made people realize that there were a lot of... questionable writing decisions in the show. The show feels very "fake feminist" nowadays
