Stop having women get raped for character growth! It's a stupid, cheap and overused trope that needs to die a fiery death.
Surely writers could come up with something more interesting for lady characters to deal with instead of rehashing the same bullshit over and over again. Once in a while is fine as long as it works in context but not when every woman in a story eventually ends up with the same backstory.
Another stupid trope that needs to end is the whole will they/won't they crap between the male and female leads in a movie or TV show. I get that it's a classic plot line but it's gotten old. We know by now that 9 times out of 10 they will so it doesn't add any drama or tension, it just slows down the story and makes it boring.
