History BerserkButton / WebOriginal

* Chakats. Let's count the buttons, shall we? Harming children in general? BEATINGS. Kidnapping/harming one of their own kids? WORSE BEATINGS. God help you, killing one of their own kids? You'll be lucky if there's enough of you left to bury.

* Most''{{Protectors of the Plot Continuum}}'' agents have a Berserk Button of some form or another. Common causes are messing with favourite characters, breaking the English language, trivialisation of child abuse, or misogyny, which offend the PPC community as well as in-setting.

* Don't tell TheNostalgiaChick that [[TheLadette she]] has to only review "girly" stuff.

** Also, Todd hates Music/{{Chicago}} or Peter Cetera.

** Also, it's not as theatrical as the "Bat credit card" but Doug seems to get genuinely angry (as in he'll stop the review to denounce it and yet doesn't throw a huge man tantrum as par for the character) every time a child is mistreated by the "good guys" onscreen (as in the Secret of NIMH 2 review). He really gets disgusted during the "Baby Geniuses" review when he realized they must have pinched or otherwise put some mild abuse on the baby actor to get him to cry.

* Internet {{Troll}}s find a community's berserk buttons and [[ButtonMashing mash them repeatedly]].

** FRATATTA IS NOT A VERB!!!

** As will killing the little sweet girl from his favorite comic: Lian Harper. Cry for Justice, you bastard. And you know it is for real too; this wasn't his normal anger; this was growling, snarling...and deadly calm.

** More specifically, LPing them [[SoBadItsHorrible badly]]. Or any game he especially likes, for that matter. That goes for reviewing as well.

* Internet trolling pretty much consists of finding a community's berserk buttons and [[ButtonMashing mashing them repeatedly]].

* [[ToddInTheShadows "EENIE MEENIE MINEY MO LOVER?!?! How stupid do they think I am?!"]]

* In ''{{Protectors of the Plot Continuum}}'', most of the agents have a Berserk Button of some form:
** On a personal level, making pickled pepper jokes around Agent Peter Piper does not do wonders for one's life expectancy. Never compare Hul Choka to anything mechanical. Nor should one give Agent Aerilyn a hard time about her [[MarySue Suvian]] appearance.
** Don't [[TooDumbToLive EVER]] sing "[[{{Discworld}} The Hedgehog]] [[BawdySong Song]]" at the Official Fanfiction University of ''{{Redwall}}'', or in front of at least one of the anthropomorphic animal agents (who claims that he has first-hand knowledge that the song is not true but [[YouDoNOTWantToKnow refuses to elaborate]]). Also, while at the OFUR, you do not make fun of [[UnfortunateNames Stiffener Medick's name]]. Especially if you happen to be the PPC's [[ReallyGetsAround resident sex addict, Agent Luxury]]. He doesn't exactly go berserk, being an OfficerAndAGentleman, but he politely informed Lux that should she make any more comments about his name "I will regrettably be forced to murder ye." Also, don't make comments about [[{{Discworld}} rat-onna-stick]] around Redtooth after FanFic/OfWarlordsAndPleasures, a {{Gorn}}-riddled fanfic [[AssShove involving him and a spear]].
** At the Official Fanfiction University of {{Narnia}}, you do not mock the Emerald Witch's lack of a name.
** Agents tend to be protective of their families. In particular, you never threaten anyone in Agent Tawaki Penguin's family (including his in-laws). You don't even attack the dog. Unless you have centuries of combat under your belt and have appropriated a ranged weapon, in which case you can stop him and change his appearance.
** Most Agents from fictional series get extra-furious if their native continua are [[MarySue contaminated]], and most of the agents have specific favourite characters whose contamination especially upsets them. For example, mess with [[OurDragonsAreDifferent Agent Madison O'Grady's]] favorite ''DoctorWho'' characters in her presence and you risk getting blasted with fire. Agent Lothy gets furious if the MarySue steals Éomer from Lothíriel and makes Éowyn a wilting lily. You do NOT plagiarize from any musical around Agent Ekwy Fields. And Laburnum goes into UnstoppableRage over harm to UglyCute PunchClockVillain characters, especially Redwall's vermin.
*** In particular, just about every agent will flip out at a MarySue messing with their "[[PerverseSexualLust Lust Object]]"; for instance, any Suethor in the original series who went anywhere ''near'' Elrond or Boromir would suffer the UnstoppableRage of Jay and Acacia, respectively.
** [[RapeIsTheNewDeadParents Trivializing rape]] pisses off nearly all Agents; in particular, it's one of very few ways to actually get a rise out of [[http://ppc.wikia.com/wiki/Maxie Agent Maxie]]. It infuriates the Flowers, too, which is why [[SomethingPositive Redneck Trees]] and [[{{Firefly}} Reavers]] are forbidden as execution methods.
** Poorly-handled child abuse, especially sexual abuse, will set off most of the agents' rages. The scene where Molly's original incarnation was about to be raped by her father made even the eternally-cheerful LovableSexManiac Lux demonstratably angry (small children being apparently the only exceptions to her AnythingThatMoves attitude).
** Laying hands on a PPC agent ''will'' get you in deep shit. Someone who AttemptedRape on Agent Laburnum "discovered the hard way that it's possible to have a scythe handle jammed up your rectum without your trousers being removed first". A Sue who made some LordOfTheRings elves OutOfCharacter enough to inflict ColdBloodedTorture and attempted murder on Agent Manx was given to AxCrazy Agent X, who [[GoryDiscretionShot did something to her which scared even the other agents]]. Even canon characters aren't safe from this, though the revenge upon [[{{Gorillaz}} Murdoc Niccals]] for attempting to knock an agent out with a melodica consisted of [[CoolAndUnusualPunishment forcing him to participate in a]] MSTing of a bad SlashFic starring himself.
** Misogyny is also likely to earn an especially severe stomping, particularly as the PPC themselves have been accused of misogyny by fanwriters and it pissed them off. Their rebuttal in the FAQ can be found [[http://ppc.wikia.com/wiki/FAQ:For_Other_People#THE_GENDER_CARD here]].

* Do ''not'' compare [[http://www.youtube.com/user/EmptysAwesome EmptysAwesome]] to JoshPeck.

** ''OneMoreDay'' and everything to do with also tends to send him into fits of rage.

* Don't dig up Linkara's old fanfic, force him to listen to you read it, and ''then'' have the temerity to insult DoctorWho. When Bennett the Sage pulled this stunt, Linkara escaped the ropes holding him into a chair and started laying a smackdown.

* Go on, compare [[LessThanThreeComics Firestorm]] to his dad. I dare you.

** Don't [[TooDumbToLive EVER]] sing "[[{{Discworld The Hedgehog]] [[BawdySong Song]]" at the Official Fanfiction University of ''{{Redwall}}'', or in front of at least one of the anthropomorphic animal agents (who claims that he has first-hand knowledge that the song is not true but [[YouDoNOTWantToKnow refuses to elaborate]]).

*** In particular, just about every agent will flip out at a MarySue messing with their "[[PerverseSexualLust Lust Object]]"; for instance, any Suethor in the original series who went anywhere ''near'' Elrond or Borimir would suffer the UnstoppableRage of Jay and Acacia, respectively.

** On that note: There are two things that Ganondorf does not tolerate: Vaati implying that Ganon's time as a villain is up, and villains not getting the hint that they were not accepted into the group. He blows them up to the shock and horror of his comrades.

* Ironically, this troper (Grave) has Berserk Button that is primarily when people spontaneously sign off, or 'hide' offline. He knows they're there, so he perceives it as being blatently ignored by them.... However he usually keeps anger to himself. Being a particularly non-confrontational person.
