I have a few:
- Chosen ones, fate, destiny, &c. When you get down to it, a story with these themes is one where a single person or handful of people is ontologically, cosmically better and more important than everyone else. It's eerily similar to that right-wing meme about how "most people are just NPCs" (though I disliked the trope before that meme ever took off).
- Way too much importance being given to bloodlines by the narrative (note, this is different from them being given importance by characters or societies in the story).
- All of the good characters are handsome and beautiful, while all of the evil characters are ugly and disfigured (with the possible exception of a femme fatale or two).
- Races that are inherently, unchangeably evil down to the last individual regardless of upbringing, society, or material circumstances.
"Secret cabal that controls the world from the shadows" is just The Protocols of the Elders of Zion horseshit.
Totally open cabals that control the world from those nice mansions in the ritzy part of town with all the guards has been right there all along!
I mean yeah, why bother hiding it; for the larp? Who's going to stop them? Liberals? Lol
Yeah make another crack about it in the Simpsons, that'll show them.
