  • Since it has happened MULTIPLE times now, I want to be very clear about this. You do not get to abandon an account and create a new one. You do not get to pass an account to someone else and create a new one. If you do so anyway, you will be banned for creating sockpuppets.

What are your most hated fanfic tropes

The holy trinity by far is Dumbledore, Ozpin, and Hiruzen, but I encounter it in a lot of other fics too.

It's a synthesis of multiple things:
1) The main character generally needs to grow and establish their place in society for an arc, and needs to do so themselves because character growth.
2) The "Dumbledore" of the situation could easily solve that issue, or at least remove whatever unfair barriers there are that the writer puts in to get their underdog-kick off.
3) The authority figure is far, far too incompetent to actually leverage their position to help, despite that being in their best interest.
4) No incompetent person could make it as stupidly far in society as the authority figure did.

The verdict? Well, if they can't be as dumb as they look, they gotta have a secret motive.
