#QuestionOfTheDay what's a common thing in media (mechanic in a game, plot point, stage design, character type, trope, filmmaking technique/shot, writing style, etc etc etc) that you don't necessarily dislike but you hate when it's used unnecessarily/inappropriately/too often/etc

@ami_angelwings Romance in videogames that are not specifically romance VNs. Some games it's entirely optional, but others push it so much in-your-face that avoiding or declining it is exhausting.
In TV, uh... what's it called... "counter-running narratives"? When two narratives run parallel, but counter to each other, like "present time" and "past time" and "future time" narratives that converge at some point, but intentionally leave the viewer in the dark about important information.
