miscellaneous Tropes that became problematic

The Persistent Suitor: A guy who is after the girl and just wont take no for an answer. Nowadays we just call stalking and harassment, but it used to be romantic. Example: The Notebook (2004), Noah asks Allie out while she's on a date with another man. She refuses, but he threatens to let go and fall unless she agrees to go out with him.

Comedic Woman On Man Violence: Mostly seen in anime, recently it has decreased a lot but years back every show had a woman hitting a guy and showed it as funny. Example: Toradora!, where the quintessential tsundere, Taiga, beats up the MC regularly.

Kid Bags Adult Baddie: I remember a few of these, sometimes it was to show how cool and awesome a kid was because an adult woman fell for him, now it's just seen as problematic shit. Example: Blank Check, the woman likes the kid and kisses him telling him to look for her in 10 years.

I was so fucking taken aback when I had a marriage proposal get interrupted.... while they were on the Ferris wheel.

Or that one time a girl interrupted a guy getting asked out despite having never met any of the people involved. She had just been added, saw a girl asking a guy out, and just hopped in on it. Afterwards girl who asked guy out got a relationship, girl who loved the guy got rejected, and new girl just casually continued on her way as if nothing happened.

I was watching a friend play and they had a mii confess feelings in the restaurant. They get interrupted by someone that suddenly was just sitting at the table after a cut and it caught us off guard. The mii being confessed to rejected both of them but the original mii still had hope.

Fast forward a few days and the same mii wants to confess again. I tell my friend to do it in the ferris wheel so they don't get interrupted this time (at least that was my line of thinking). They go into the ferris wheel and they get interrupted by not one, but TWO other miis (one of them even popped out from under the seats) also wanting to confess their feelings all for the same mii. He choses the original mii this time but I was just astounded by the absolute insanity of these miis lmfao.

Yeah I spent a few days trying to get my husband's mii and mine to get married.  They're finally going to propose on the Ferris wheel and who shows up?  Jake the dog from adventure time.
