* ''VideoGame/{{Kindergarten}}'':

* Nothing sets of Pavia from ''VideoGame/Reverse1999'' quite like bad refrigerators. This is because he is incredibly fond of gelato, and a malfunctioning fridge will either be too warm and melt his beloved frozen treat, or worse, freeze it solid and render it totally inedible.

* The ''Franchise/FateSeries'':
** ''VideoGame/FateGrandOrder'':
*** In the Battle For New York challenge quest involving Eric Bloodaxe where Gunnhild, his witchly wife, is supporting him, do ''not'' use Charm effects on him. Gunnhild is [[ClingyJealousGirl very, very attached to Eric]] and will ''freak out'' at the possibility of him being in love with someone else, such that doing this is a good way to get your entire party afflicted with over a dozen Curse Amplifiers.
*** Lying to Kiyohime is one of the absolute ''worst'' things you can do with her -- enough so that according to official material, she will take a Command Seal from anyone who does it, whether she's seen through the lie or not.
*** Penthesilea has two really big ones: being called beautiful in any way, and Achilles, who only complimented her on her beauty rather than her strength after she went all out to try to best him. The latter pisses her off so much that she cannot stand his name even being ''mentioned'' within earshot (which, given Penth's SuperHearing, is ''pretty damn far'').
*** Do not say anything about Scathach's age. When Caster Cu did this, she tried to kick the Gae Bolg onto him.
*** Do not call Francis Drake old unless you want to get shot out of a cannon. When Blackbeard calls her an "old hag" in Okeanos, Drake goes off on him in a big way.
*** Medusa has [[HeightAngst height issues]], but in her case, it's comments about being too ''tall'' that set her off.
*** Medea in the meantime ''hates'' it when couples like Sakamoto and Oryou get lovey-dovey with each other, considering her own romantic history.
*** Do ''not'' disturb Murasaki Shikibu's library, as she will ''immediately'' drop her YamatoNadeshiko persona to deal with those who do so.
*** Fuuma Kotarou does ''not'' take kindly to any assertion that the Fuuma clan is in any way inferior to the Iga and Kouga clans.
*** Don't be a Saber or a Saberface around Mysterious Heroine X. The entire plot of the Saber Wars event is about her wanting to kill every last one of them.
*** Berserker Lancelot has similar issues regarding Artoria or anyone who looks like her, to the point that he will go out of his way to target them over other Servants in battles with him (such as Jeanne during the battle with him in the First Singularity).
*** For Antonio Salieri, ''anything'' to do with [[SalieriSyndrome Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart]] will send him into a complete and utter rage.
*** Edmond Dantès loses it when the Ruler servants in his event talk about the salvation of his soul. As an Avenger Servant, he is barred from the redemption the original Edmond Dantès eventually found and is pretty bitter about it.
** ''VideoGame/FateSamuraiRemnant'': Saber claims to be very famous, so when their Master Miyamoto Iori asks who they are, they become really insulted and refuse to reveal their name, calling Iori stupid for not recognizing them.

* ''Videogame/WeWhoAreAboutToDie:'' The arena crowds have specific triggers that ''will'' turn them against you. Using the same weapon constantly will annoy them, too much caution (taking too long, running from battles) will piss them off, and FriendlyFire will ''infuriate'' them. Do these too much and you can expect booing, ProducePelting, Favor earnings sinking like a rock and people generally calling for your death.

* ''VideoGame/TheWalkingDead'':

* ''Videogame/{{ULTRAKILL}}:'' Several opponents have triggers for [[TurnsRed aggressive modes]] where they spam attacks quickly and recklessly and get faster and stronger but less controlled. Many of these triggers don't qualify (loss of comrades, lowered health), but:
** Swordsmachines get pissed if you parry so much as a single strike of their blade. They will start repeatedly charging at you with it becoming uncontrolled blenders of death, ''completely'' forgetting they have a shotgun in the process.
** [[MirrorBoss V2]] normally makes use of all ranges and all of its arsenal while in battle, but it can be infuriated into charging at you to stay as close as possible, neglecting half its weapons while getting a boost of speed and spamming charged Piercer shots in ways V1 can't. There are two ways to set this off: One of them is to stay at a distance for too long, and the other (only available in the second fight with it) is to [[spoiler:punch it with the Knuckleblaster, the arm you stole from it the first time]], which will ''instantly'' send the thing into a rage at the apparent taunt. The latter is especially notable because V2 learns to use the Marksman complete with coins in this fight, and ''will'' shoot your own coins, but [[spoiler:getting smacked with his own arm]] pisses him off so much he ''completely'' forgets how coins work.

* ''VideoGame/FateGrandOrder''
** In the Battle For New York challenge quest involving Eric Bloodaxe where Gunnhild, his witchly wife, is supporting him, do ''not'' use Charm effects upon him. Gunnhild is [[ClingyJealousGirl very, very attached to Eric]] and will ''freak out'' at the possibility of him being in love with someone else, such that doing this is a good way to get your entire party afflicted with over a dozen Curse Amplifiers.
** Lying to Kiyohime is one of the absolute ''worst'' things you can do with her--enough so that according to official material, she will take a Command Seal from anyone who does it, whether she's seen through the lie or not.

** Berserker Lancelot has similar issues regarding Artoria or anyone who looks like her, to the point that he will go out of his way to target them over other Servants in battles with him (such as Jeanne during the battle with him in the First Singularity).
** For Antonio Salieri, '''anything''' to do with [[SalieriSyndrome Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart]] will send him into a complete and utter rage.
** Edmond Dantès loses it when the Ruler servants in his event talk about the salvation of his soul. As an Avenger Servant, he is barred from the redemption the original Edmond Dantès eventually found and is pretty bitter about it.
* ''VideoGame/FateSamuraiRemnant'': Saber claims to be very famous, so when their Master Miyamoto Iori asks who they are, they become really insulted and refuse to reveal their name, calling Iori stupid for not recognizing them.

** Johan Elites: Telling him that he's [[MommasBoy a Mother]][[OedipusComplex Con]]. [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown He'll give you a beating that'll send you to the hospital if you do so.]]

* ''VideoGame/DragonQuestMonsters'': Don't call Solitaire by her birth name. This applies to humans ''and'' monsters.

** Men in general are this to Naotora, unless you're Ieyasu, Tadakatsu, Keiji or Toshiie. [[RatedMForManly Takeda Shingen]] pisses her off especially.

** Conversely, Anders ''hates'' Templars, as well as the Circle and the Chantry they come from for how they treat mages.

** The [[FairyDevilmother Empress of Light]] will spawn and begin attacking if you dare to harm a prismatic lacewing, a buttefly native to the hallow.
*** If it turns day while you fight her, the Empress's attacks will all turn to [[OneHitKill instantly kill you]] if they land.

** Similarly, do not make fun of Nisa's bust size (or lack thereof) either, unless your willing to get beaten up by the heroine of justice.
** If you don't wanna piss off Vert, then [[BigBreastPride don't have bigger boobs than her]], and if you do, get the fuck outta Leanbox.

** Penthesilea has two really big ones: being called beautiful in any way, and Achilles, who only complimented her on her beauty rather than her strength after she went all out to try to best him. The latter pisses her off so much that she cannot stand his name even being ''mentioned.''

* Never call the main character of ''[[http://www.kongregate.com/games/kreig13/witch-hunt Witchhunt]]'' a witch. In fact even the stat screen covers over the "W" in skills like "witchcraft" and words like "switch". The poor, poor goblin in the opening scene that [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0wvhBEYGEGw offers the other goblins a sandwich]] after her warning about the word "witch" (after she had already been hit ''repeatedly'' with the word) ends up the first to die.

* ''VideoGame/TheSuffering'':

** For Antonio Salieri, '''anything''' to do with Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart will send him into a complete and utter rage.

** Penthesilea has two really big ones: being called beautiful in any way, and Achilles, who only complimented her on her beauty rather than her strenght after she went all out to try to best him. The latter pisses her off so much that she cannot stand his name even being ''mentioned.''

* In ''VideoGame/FateGrandOrder'', in the Battle For New York challenge quest involving Eric Bloodaxe where Gunnhild, his witchly wife, is supporting him, do ''not'' use Charm effects upon him. Gunnhild is [[ClingyJealousGirl very, very attached to Eric]] and will ''freak out'' at the possibility of him being in love with someone else, such that doing this is a good way to get your entire party afflicted with over a dozen Curse Amplifiers.

*** Anything related to the fugitive Batman, his biggest opposition and the leader of the Insurgency opposed to his Regime, has become this to him in Year Two of the prequel comics. By Year Five, he's practically obsessed.

** Never tell Thaal Sinestro that there's someone more important than he is.

** [[MirrorBoss V2]] normally makes use of all ranges and all of its arsenal while in battle, but it can be infuriated into charging at you to stay as close as possible, neglecting half its weapons while getting a boost of speed and spamming charged Piercer shots in ways V1 can't.
