* The "GOTO" command in Basic, Perl, and PHP: An article was written entitled "Goto considered harmful" -- ''one'' article, mind you -- and to this day people act as if inserting a single Goto into a program will render it indecipherable.
* [[Kathy Griffin]] after her infamous photo shoot in 2017 where she [[Off With His Head|goes Robespierre]] on [[Donald Trump]]'s effigy. Which didn't endear her to many people. In a surprising twist, this led to sudden cancellation of many contracts she had, from a casino gig to Squatty Potty ad campaign. Even CNN fired her. [//pjmedia.com/lifestyle/2017/06/02/crybully-kathy-griffin-tries-to-become-a-victim-of-her-sick-photo-shoot/ So she decided] to [[Never My Fault|paint herself a victim and blame Trump]]. It didn't seem to help. Must be [//www.mrctv.org/blog/kathy-griffin-orchestrated-campaign-and-older-white-guys-are-preventing-me-work a conspiracy of old white guys]. Because either that, or she became less funny. Or maybe even those who hate Trump's guts agree that this "makes you wonder about the mental health of the person who did it" and steer clear.
* Police officers. From taking bribes to beating suspected criminals to pulp, it's hard not to understand as to why people have developed contempt towards them especially in marginalised communities. A number of [[Cop Show]]s and similar media portraying them and other emergency services groups have attracted scrutiny especially in the 2010s and 2020s for glorifying what critics call as "copaganda" aiming to present a squeaky-clean image of police officers. One such example was the Canadian children's animated series ''[[PAW Patrol]]'', which gained controversy in 2020 due to its portrayal of police pup Chase in an overly positive light which critics juxtapose over its stark contrast to news articles about police corruption and brutality.
* No thanks to the series of battery safety incidents in 2016, Samsung's Galaxy Note 7 became better remembered as the phone which doubles as an improvised explosive device than for its intended features.
