Live and Love under Patooties' peculiar light

Things I need fic writers to stop using in their fics:

1) yoga class as a fucking trope

2) karma

3) twerking

4) chai tea

5) mantra

Why are using these things bad?

What I wanna know is, how many fanfictions are using one or all of these things to the point where people are complaining about it?

I don’t really understand how Karma is on this list of really weird things to put in a story?

The semantics of these things is off the fucking charts.

Almost as if the reader for fics containing these was deliberately searching for fics containing them, and then reading them.

In short: stop reading the stuff you read if it feels like it’s gotten old and get yourself a new set of tastes .-.
