Tropes that became problematic

[u/KalzK]

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.

Might be a bit touchy, but white saviors in film.

A lot of inspirational true story movies fall in that category. Macfarlane, Freedom Writers, The Blind Side, they got one thing in common and it’s white people helping them out of a rut

Wasn’t the story of the blind side revealed to be a sham?

Michael Oher, the player that it was about, got cheated out of royalties by his "adopted family". The movie also made him into a bumbling idiot who didn't understand football or... anything, really.

They also hadn't adopted him. It was a conservatorship

Also the movie portrays the mean NCAA accusing them of doing all that stuff just to funnel Oher to Ole Miss as ridiculous when it turns out that's basically exactly what they did.

But he could stop an air bag with one arm with relatively minor injuries. Relatively.

Go figure.
