** ScrewedByTheNetwork: Can be summed up by a clueless network executive thinking "I don't get this show. Better make sure this show gets cancelled so I don't take the fall if it fails." And I HATE when this happens.

Added DiffLines:

* TheComplainerIsAlwaysWrong: Don't get me started on the whole 'groupthink is good, thinking for yourself is bad' thing. Granted, the complainer shouldn't always be ''right'', either, but when this trope is played straight, it's very, very disturbing.

* ScrewTheMoneyIHaveRules: It's nice that some people have principles.


Added DiffLines:

* ViewersAreMorons: I hate it when producers treat the viewers like idiots.
* VoicesAreMental: Really, really annoying when people actually treat it like the voices have somehow swapped. I have ''never'' liked this trope, and consider it a subtrope of ViewersAreMorons.

On the other side, there are tropes I ''despise''. These are my [[PetPeeveTrope Pet Peeve Tropes]], which I will certainly take pains to avoid playing straight in works of fiction I might create. These are tropes that I feel should be subverted, defied, or just averted whenever possible:

* WomenInRefrigerators: Granted, a character being StuffedInTheFridge just to piss off the protagonist is something that's pretty tired regardless of gender, but when a whole bunch of female characters end up this way, there's some pretty UnfortunateImplications here.

it pisses off just about anyone who'd rather see women as actual characters in the stories and not just plot devices.

Added DiffLines:

* ShootTheShaggyDog: Waaay too much of a downer for me. This is the stuff that makes many DownerEndings seem not so much of a downer by comparison.
