I'll start with one that isn't really related to chuds or fascists, but it still annoyed the hell out of me for years:
"Wow, really? Seriously? Wow, just... wow" as a method of snark carpet bombing. I hated how little substance such remarks and responses had. They were used everywhere for a while about almost everything. The worst moment of its use was when I was at a social function and someone I knew belted out "wow, really?" while looking at me and people around me. I asked what the matter was, and got "seriously?" as a response. Then he walked away saying "wow, just... wow." To this day I still have no idea what exactly happened there but he must have felt very smart and quippy about it.
I blame Lisa Simpson for that one. Maybe it was the last gasping moment of Simpsons cultural relevance, like a noxious gas wafting from a dying body.
I'm very, very happy that "gay" as an insult has lost its teeth outside of the most isolated chud bubbles across the internet. Sometimes I do see it used, but it's often at the expense of the speaker, making them sound really out of touch, even old. It's even better when they get mad at people for not taking it the way they want it to be taken.
"I am socially liberal and fiscally conservative" is practically a punch line now. The few times I still see it, even in public and offline, it's often from the kind of person that is so out of touch that they still think Brad Pitt is every woman's dream date.
JK Rowling. She was always a shitty writer, but it’s especially cool she’s now viewed as the trash person she always was.
Buying into the misogynistic stereotype that women can't write, I see.
Anyone can be rude on the internet: Why don't you come to 124 Whitehouse Rd, Cramond, Edinburgh EH4 6DQ, and call me a "trash person" (another misogynistic trope) to my face?

I hope she croaks when her mommy queen Elizabeth croaks
Damnit you just made her immortal. I hope you're proud.
Man the Fantastic Beasts movies fucking suck.
I’ve never watched them, but I’ve heard they’re awful lol
The good part of Harry Potter, to me, has always been Wizards doing quirky things that only make sense to them. There's a couple scenes, mostly in the first movie, which capture this feeling pretty well. If that's all the movies focused on they might be fun even if the writing was weak.
Unfortunately about half the first movie and nearly all of the second is an attempt to do a dark drama with wizards, and that's a genre that needs good writing and a big tonal clash that would need to be handled delicately, and JKR's script just isn't up to the task.
Yeah, I was down with the first three movies cause it was Adventures in Wizard School. I took it for that and could suspend a lot of disbelief but once it started getting 'serious' the massive silliness of the core premise became harder to ignore.
