Should Filler be considered a DiscreditedTrope (at least for anime), and other possible DiscreditedTrope ideas?

I was looking through Discredited Trope and wondered if this would make sense to add:

  • Filler: In anime where it was once predominantly common, it's not used as much nowadays as some animes move towards a season or New Season, New Name, but not entirely discredited as it's still used on Live-Action TV shows in the West fairly often.

Also, would these make sense as discredited tropes:

  • Black Is Bigger in Bed: Due to societal attitudes changing, it's seen as racist nowadays.
  • Driving a Desk: Now that smaller cameras can be fitted in-car, this trope isn't as prevalent as it once was.
  • Fighting Irish: As society progressed, this trope was less common outside of Period Piece works or used for parody.
  • Futuristic Superhighway: The 1950s and 1960s portrayals are now seen as twee and outdated, but more modern portrayals have replaced this.
  • The Complainer Is Always Wrong: Now that people are being taught more to question groupthink it's difficult to get away with this.
  • Van in Black: As practical as a van is, the Chevrolet Tahoe has replaced this as the vehicle of choice in most dramas; however, in British works, it's still omnipresent, but white van man rather than black.
