Hoo-hee, I'm not revising that title, make sense of it yourself, hee-hoo.

Kinda a part 2 of that thing.
I had as much trouble making either of these lists because there are a LOT of asterisks to take into consideration with most dynamics. For example, I can tell myself I don't like enemies to lovers when it's mostly two characters quarreling in a modern setting over petty nothings... but I still draw Bubblegum & Spearmint being this trope and I'm having a blast so that'd be pretty hypocritical of me.
Anyway I guess I don't hate specific dynamics but more like... some trends that kinda drive me up a wall? But there's fun to be had to cringe at the frustrating. And it just kinda turns out that in nature, all of these dynamics are romantic or turn romantic. Maybe because romantic subplots are so prevalent in everything I see (and it's not devoid of narrative potential) but I do get fatigued by it and how repetitive it gets. The kinda stuff that makes me wanna keep my characters in platonic relationships because damn, all these stories sure make love sound really boring. I'm sure if I dig in my heart of heart, I can find the strenght to dislike and make fun of as many family/platonic dynamics as well, yes.

Obviously I don't have anything against sexually driven couples and polyamory relationships, I'm not christian and that'd be very hypocritical of me when I have characters like Reyes or Aaron living their best lives in the fallout wasteland. Heck, I realised I don't even have anything against love triangles themselves, I just find them superfluous and if you gotta add one in your story as a big focus, at least commit or make it clear that you're clowning. Same for straight couples : I just don't like stereotypically coded "man/woman" couples in comics and books to the point where even when two guys or two girls end together, then one of the partners looks somehow like the opposite gender to fit a mold. And don't get me wrong : I like my height and size differences, long live tiny boss babes and twinks being more resourceful than they let on, more power to the butches. I'm just tired of the extreme heteronormativity of it all and that's just my personal preferences. If you like to draw your couples as such, godspeeds, there is only a tiny gremlin on the Internet (me) that'll be very discontent about it.

Alright, that's gotta be enough ranting, I feel like I don't actually need to clarify anything but if something seems odd or you have an opinion, that's what the comment section's for.
