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.

Why are you insisting on making yourself look ridiculous?

Why are you insisting in voicing your opinions. Nobody cares about you.

Jesus that was a ride. 

You really just tried to tell everyone that you knew better than the guys wife? And that everyone had the same experiences as you?

What a weird hill to die on.

I'm just saying that you and your opinions about what I did here are irrelevant. You joined the conversation because at least once in your insignificant existence you could finally score an easy goal and get some karma in exchange.

But in the end, you will stay just as insignificant as you were before you saw my comment.

Lol, looks like I touched a nerve. 

Its kind of funny to watch you double and triple down on this. Funny and sad actually. But I find it more so funny.
