The Take (Web Video) / int_1551c0d9 | comment |
Obnoxious Entitled Housewife: Discussed in "The Karen Trope, Explained". It explains how this character deals with feelings of powerlessness, insecurity, and fear by taking it out on people she considers lesser, usually working-class people and people of color, and gets away with it by using society's idealization of white womanhood to frame herself as the victim. The video also highlights how public perceptions of this character are influenced by sexism and ageism without justifying her actions. | |

White Man's Burden | |
The Take (Web Video) / int_1effdd6b | comment |
White Man's Burden: Discussed in "The White Savior Trope, Explained". The video explains how this trope undermines its own message about racial equality by portraying characters of color as passive, helpless victims who can't escape or overcome oppression without help from a white person. It also reduces racism to individuals who behave badly, while ignoring institutional racism. | |

Psycho Ex-Girlfriend | |
The Take (Web Video) / int_1f88a426 | comment |
Psycho Ex-Girlfriend: Discussed in "The 'Crazy' Ex-Girlfriend - A Manufactured Trope". This trope traces its origins to historic sexist marriage laws that gave husbands complete control over their wives and made it difficult for women to obtain a divorce. Women who lashed out at this oppressive system were labeled insane, thus invoking the stigma against mental illness as an insult. Since then, the ex-girlfriend has been portrayed as a specter haunting the man's current relationship rather than a fully fleshed-out character. She's often framed as purely villainous, even if the man mistreated her during the relationship. However, more recent media treats these characters with more sympathy and nuance. It's worth noting that in real life, ex-boyfriends are statistically more likely to harm their ex-girlfriends, rather than the other way around. | |

She's often characterized as materialistic, overachieving, and unfaithful. The Nag is often the most hated character in a piece of media because she makes a convenient scapegoat for her husband's failures, misdeeds, and inadequacies. | |

No Bisexuals: Conversed in the "Bisexuality Stories Onscreen" video, where if bisexual people aren't villainized, they're treated as nonexistent or a stepping stone to becoming straight or gay, and even the characters attracted to multiple genders often refuse to label themselves. Despite more complex modern depictions of sexuality, such as in Brokeback Mountain and Moonlight (2016), depicting men who love men while still having a legitimate attraction to women, they're often treated strictly as homosexual by audiences. | |

Junior Counterpart: The Becky to the Karen in "The Becky Trope, Explained". While it's explained that what makes a Becky different than a Karen isn't just their age, the components are connected with the former's youth and the latter's lack of it. While both are upper-class white women whose privilege and casual racism allow them to hurt others and be free of consequences, Becky usually does so out of genuine naivete and ignorance, rather than Karen's malice and attempt to hold whatever authority she has on the social hierarchy. Becky's youth usually gives her a chance of learning from it and changing in order to not become a Karen in the future, whereas Karens are usually portrayed as already doomed characters whose nasty ways are too ingrained to change as easily as Becky's. | |

Gaslighting | |
The Take (Web Video) / int_727a65e0 | comment |
Gaslighting: Gaslighting, Explained | What Does It Meme? analyzes the trope, the history which the term has in pop culture, starting with the play Gaslight and it's movie adaptations, as well as examples like Hush... Hush, Sweet Charlotte (1964) and Dangerous Crossing (1953), which establish the form of abuse as a very intimate one, often signalized by its domestic or limited settings, and how it often shifts into a fantastical version of it in media like Westworld, Jessica Jones (2015), and arguably even The Matrix. The video also goes into the political use of this, how journalists have accused then-president Trump's insistence on provably false information as a form of gaslighting the public, a technique used in Russia of giving contradicting information to the media to feed a sense of public confusion, and examples of entire groups being gaslight by authorities, like rape victims in Unbelievable, pedophilia victims in Spotlight, black people in Small Axe, and poor people in Dark Waters. | |

Dogged Nice Guy: Discussed in "The Nice Guy Trope, Explained". Historically, the concept of infatuated men pining after women who weren't interested was portrayed as lovable, endearing, and romantic. But in recent times, this is increasingly being seen as creepy and entitled. | |

Applicabilityinvoked: According to "Mean Girls: Regina George, The Psychology of a Dictator", Regina and the social structure of North Shore High is similar to a dictatorship. The movie supports this by having Regina being compared to Julius Caesar (the plot of the film also being remarkably similar to that of the Shakespeare play) and having Janis call Regina an "evil dictator" with three key pillars (with academic research to support it): Legitimacy (her boyfriend Aaron Samuels and conventional beauty and physique), Co-Optation/Co-Option (inviting challengers like the sexually attractive Karen, wealthy and gossipy Gretchen, and physically attractive and naive Cady), and Repression (keeping the Burn Book of secrets and insults about the student body, using Gretchen as her Secret Police, using swift punishment like the phony Planned Parenthood call, silly rules like wearing pink on Wednesdays). Though most likely a coincidence, the only date mentioned in the movie is October 3rd, which becomes the unofficial Mean Girls Day among the fans, happens to be the mentioned date of the birthday and death day of Cassius, a prominent character in Julius Caesar. | |

The Take (Web Video) / int_d72a4480 | comment |
Romanticized Abuse: "Toxic Takeaways: How Not to Love, Actually" mentions how stalker-like behavior is a staple of the romance genre, especially in the case of Mark, whose obsession with a woman is portrayed as romantic limerence rather than an off-putting trait. Even the actor playing it had doubts about the role, questioning the director's choices and thinking he was coming off as stalker-ish, and in the years since the movie's release, it has become a point of contention among critics. | |

Bad boys are given redeeming qualities and sad backstories to keep them from being too unlikeable or unsympathetic. | |

Lower-Class Lout: Discussed in "The 'White Trash' Trope and its Real Hidden Agenda". Negative depictions of working-class White people have often been used to reinforce classist attitudes and elevate middle- and upper-class White people by comparison. In many cases, poor White people are antagonists in White Savior narratives where wealthier White characters save Black characters from racism. This ignores the issue of racism and elitism among wealthy White people and uses Black people as pawns to demonstrate how great wealthy White people are. | |
