[[folder: Sexism and Homophobia Tropes]]
''...to the point where'' ''BuryYourGays'' ''has become a'' ''PetPeeveTrope''''.''
* AllGaysArePedophiles (Like BuryYourGays below, but with negative stereotypes instead of deaths)
* AllMenArePerverts
* AllMenAreRapists
* BuryYourGays (The revival of this trope in 2015/16 amidst [[ValuesDissonance certain events]] has brought [[https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/bury-your-gays-why-100-877176 controversy and attention to this trope.]] As a result, this, among with [[HomophobiaIndex many other homophobic tropes]] became somewhat of a DiscreditedTrope and definitely an InternetBackdraft.)
* DamselScrappy (If it's due to negative stereotypes of women instead of being TheLoad.)

[[folder: Nihilism Tropes]]
* CynicismTropes
* HobbesWasRight
* HumanityIsInsane
* HumansAreBastards
* HumansAreMorons
* HumansAreTheRealMonsters (Not only that there isn't another race to compare humans to, but this trope is begging to be FlameBait, from the fact that it always pits [[FanDumb Idea]][[SillyRabbitCynicismIsForLosers lists]] against [[HateDumb Nih]][[StrawNihilist ili]][[SillyRabbitIdealismIsForKids sts]].)
