* Blackjack engineers a public confession in ''Fanfic/FalloutEquestriaProjectHorizons'' in order to expose [[spoiler:Ahuizotl]] as a traitor to the rest of Meatlocker. [[spoiler:Ahuizotl]], however, is smart enough to realize what's going on, and activates the rooms's hidden booby traps.
-->'''[[spoiler:Ahuizotl]]:''' What? You don't seriously think I'd believe you'd want to do business with me? You're the saint of the Wasteland. I'm sure you're just here to chat up some evidence to take back to those morons. Probably got that [[SuperWristGadget PipBuck]] recording this whole conversation, don't you?\\

* ''Fanfic/InfinityTrainBlossomingTrail'' sees this tactic repeatedly employed:
** While working on a project meant to show the world how important his missing sister is, Parker asks Chloe's classmates what they like about her. Yeardley declares that he liked seeing her cry, and [[AlphaBitch Sara]] leads the rest in gleefully listing off [[KidsAreCruel all the ways they bullied]] [[AllOfTheOtherReindeer and isolated her]], insisting that she 'deserved it' for being a CreepyLonerGirl. Too late, they realize that Trip was recording the whole confrontation... as did several other students who caught it on their cell phones. The footage swiftly ends up online, getting the braggarts into serious trouble.
** Sara falls prey to this ''again'' during the Unown Arc, as she is [[MoreThanMindControl magically compelled]] to [[EvilGloating gloat]] about how she [[ManipulativeBitch manipulated her classmates]] into turning on Chloe, bragging about being the Queen of 5-E.
** Upon learning that Ash and his friends know about Hop, Bede immediately starts gloating about how he [[CurbStompBattle curb-stomped]] him and delivered a BreakingSpeech. Once again, Trip records his gloating -- this time, he livestreams it to ''Leon himself'', who's understandably [[BigBrotherInstinct less than thrilled]].
** At the end of Act 2, [[spoiler:The Cat/Samantha]] is subjected to one, [[InternalReveal revealing to everyone on the Train]] that [[spoiler:she used to be partnered with Simon, but abandoned him to a Ghom, helping kick off his transition FromNobodyToNightmare]].

* In ''Fanfic/ThePeaceNotPromised'', Severus Snape is unable to prove that Rita Skeeter is an illegal Animagus, but when he catches her just after using her beetle form to spy on his home, he's able to bluff her into offering a deal to use her abilities to help his career in exchange for not revealing it. Turns out, the Chief Warlock of the Wizengamot was listening from the next room.
* In ''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2125822/1/Time_Enough Time Enough]]'', Harry makes a man confess his crimes to him in a pub. The guy gloats that "No one will ever believe you.

** Happens ''en masse'' at the Grand Galloping Gala, which hadn't exactly been Trixie's end game (she'd just been trying to catch one pony, and while that ''technically'' succeeded, things went a little wrong). Regardless, the means used to get these confessions is inadmissible in court, so there's nothing that can be done. Though a lot of corrupt ponies end up saying things they really wish they shouldn't have.

* ''[[Fanfic/WhiteSheepRWBY White Sheep]]'': Variant. Emerald praises Weiss in front of party guests, knowing Weiss' brother Whitley will hate it. He takes her to a secluded corner to "put her in her place," telling her that once Weiss is out of the picture Emerald will ''belong'' to him, with plenty of creepy sexual subtext. Except since Emerald was using her [[MasterOfIllusion Semblance]] on him, he didn't notice that this "secluded corner" was actually filled with people. At least one even got a recording. Whitley's reputation goes in the toilet, and their father's plan to name him heir over Weiss is canceled.
