While specific disliked tropes can vary widely from person to person, the following categories of hated tropes are common:
- Tropes that go against audience's values, whether they feel personally offended or think the trope is outdated, such as Magical Negro.
- Tropes that are rarely implemented well, often Writing Pitfall tropes.
- Tropes that are oversaturated in a genre, although they could be completely dropped.
- Enforced tropes which only exist due to Executive Meddling or other media regulations, such as Frothy Mugs of Water.
