[[AC:''[[Franchise/AvatarTheLastAirbender Avatar: The Last Airbender / The Legend of Korra]]'']]
* ''Fanfic/ImprisonedThisTimeForReal'': The prison guards who torture the waterbender prisoners and refuse to give them medical attention afterwards are clearly this.

* In ''Fanfic/LoadedBones'', while Yami Bakura is generally mean to Ryou, once he regains control of the body he becomes very manipulative and cruel.
* [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/6161819/744/Pokedex The Fanfic series titled Pokedex]] lampshades this trope, noting Alola's lack of a major evil group like other regions may relate to the lack of easy puppies to kick in Alola. After all the local canine species is a Rock-type, of whom kicking leaves one with a stubbed toe or worse injuries.
* In ''Fanfic/PokemonResetBloodlines'' Paul still keeps his attitude of releasing his Pokémon if they don't live up to his standards. [[spoiler: In Chapter 27, he releases his Raichu after she loses in a battle against Misty and Iris, not bothering to properly heal her, and this act prompts Ash and Red (who at the time are angry at each other) to work together and ensure he doesn't win the tournament.]]
* In ''Fanfic/{{Continuance}}'', [[{{Jerkass}} Yuuma Seta]], the father of Souji Seta (the protagonist of ''VideoGame/{{Persona 4}}''), has a few such moments.
** His EstablishingCharacterMoment involves him demanding that Souji cancel plans to visit his friends in Inaba for Golden Week, since Yuuma's dining with several business associates, and [[ItsAllAboutMe Yuuma doesn't want to look bad as a result of his son being a no-show]]. As if this weren't bad enough, Yuuma claims that Souji's [[TrueCompanions friends]] have already forgotten him.
** After an incident in which Souji ends up on the cover of a magazine with [[IdolSinger Rise]] due to the two being seen together (Souji's in a relationship with Yukiko, so his encounter with Rise is entirely platonic) Yuuma calls Rise a "tramp" and a "floozy," the latter ''to Rise's face''.
** In this fic, Souji has PTSD from his battles in the TV world, resulting in him having nightmares on [[TraumaButton rainy nights]]. Yuuma callously says that having a few "bad dreams" won't kill him- by comparison, Souji's mother, Izumi, is [[PetTheDog quite concerned for her son]] when she finds him crying after one such dream.
* ''Fanfic/ConcerningADrifter'' mentions this. According to what she's written in her notebook, Ryuuko's captors also verbally and emotionally abused her by telling her how no one was looking for her and that, if anyone was, she wouldn't be found, so she would be better off where she was. Not surprisingly, this also broke her psyche.

* In ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/12652830/chapters/28835313 Repair the Damage]]'', [[Franchise/{{Transformers}} Soundwave]] is blind, and has to rely on his cassetticons to be able to see. Nova Storm takes advantage of this to separate Soundwave from Ratbat and unleash a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown on the tapedeck.
* In the BadFuture of ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13167363/15/To-Undo-it-All To Undo It All]]'', Yhwach went out of his way to torment the shinigami and Ichigo's friends for daring to oppose his plans to destroy the world. According to Ichigo, he pulled stunts such as obliterating the souls of dead relatives, tortured Rukia, desecrated the graves of Rukia's and Renji's friends, and destroyed Karakura town.
* In ''Fanfic/MaybeTheLastArchieStory'', Mad Doctor Doom -[[ComicBook/DoctorDoom no relation]]- attempts to shoot [[ComicBook/SabrinaTheTeenageWitch Sabrina's cat]] only because he ''thinks'' it might not be a normal cat.
* ''Fanfic/EquestriaGirlsAFairlyOddFriendship''
** Vicky ruining Timmy's lawn work and later dumping garbage on his head.
** [[spoiler: The Dazzlings]] laughing at Timmy's torment during the Learn-A-Torium demonstration, and having the nerve to post his torment online.
* The Decepticons, especially Megatron and Airachnid, do this to Euphemia in ''Fanfic/CodePrime'' [[spoiler:by orchestrating the SAZ Massacre and destroying Euphie's chances of creating peace between Britannia, the Autobots, and the Black Knights, with the former using a Pretender in her image to start the massacre, and the latter kidnapping and holding Euphie captive while mocking her pain and sadness.]]
* In ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13620958/1/O-Mother-Where-Art-Thou O Mother, Where Art Thou?]]'', [[WesternAnimation/ThomasAndFriends the Diesel]] deliberately crushes a photo frame containing a picture of a young [[OriginalCharacter David Rider]] and his mother, for no reason other than to anger David.
* In ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13861364/1/Imitation-Steamrollers Imitation Steamrollers]]'', [[WesternAnimation/ThomasAndFriends George]] nastily brings up the time Percy accidentally killed a family simply to make Gina mad, then claims that the family's death was a ''good'' thing.

* In ''[[Fanfic/MayIHaveThisDanceSailorKingMischief May I have this dance?]]'', Alma claims that Mirabel doesn't deserve a quinceañera not once, but ''twice''. Once when Luisa brought it up, a second time at dinner with the whole family there.
* We only get sparse details of what happened to Tom while he was a controller in ''Fanfic/WhatTomorrowBrings'', but it included constant MindRape, being forced to have sex with Visser Three, and near the end he was chained up in a cage to himself in the Yeerk Pool. No wonder he wanted to die.

* ''Fanfic/ACrownOfStars'': When [[BigBad Jinnai]] finds out that Asuka is sleeping with Shinji, he threatens to sell her into slavery out of spite because his erstwhile not-quite-willing plaything had found someone she loved and bedded enthusiastically.
* ''Fanfic/AdviceAndTrust'': Gendo pulls a double-whammy with [[spoiler:Bardiel, when he orders the pilots to destroy Unit-03 with no care for the welfare of Hikari.]] When they instead manage to [[spoiler:successfully retrieve the plug and destroy the Angel anyways,]] he has Shinji and Asuka ''thrown into confinement and fired'' purely out of spite for being disobeyed.
* ''Fanfic/AtTheFoodCourt'': During Ash's hearing to determine whether he is still legally competent (after having been [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown beaten up so badly that he developed brain damage and severe delusional psychosis]]), Team Rocket replaced his trainer license with a forgery so obvious that every single word on it is spelled wrong. Not to mention that Giovanni, who knew what his underlings had done and approved of it, lied to the Pokemon League that Ash didn't legitimately earn half his Kanto badges while Ash is in a fugue state. And none of this affected the League's decision in any way, since Ash was already clearly catatonic. It was just to be a dick.
* ''Fanfic/TheChildOfLove'': Gendo [[spoiler:drugged an underage girl to goad her into having sex and getting pregnant.]] Afterwards he altered [[spoiler:her unborn kid’s DNA, even though it might kill her mother upon giving birth.]] His goal was [[spoiler:creating a super-pilot, planning to use her as soon as she was born.]] Yes, he planned [[spoiler:to use a baby–who coincidentally was his granddaughter-to fight SEELE.]] And even after being told [[spoiler:SEELE had been eliminated,]] he still proceeded with his plan, so that he does not even have that excuse.

* ''Fanfic/DoingItRightThisTime'': Naoko is a much more unpleasant person in this story than in canon. When she found out about what had happened to Kyoko after Unit 02's failed contact experiment, she laughed. Loudly. She also lied to Rei, making her to believe she could not have children.

* In the ''Manga/{{Bleach}}'' fanfic series ''{{Fanfic/Heirverse}}'', Aizen in ''cwst'' and what he does to Ulq in ''Heir''. Gin spitting vitriol at Orihime over the events that ''he'' [[ManipulativeBastard orchestrated.]]
* ''Fanfic/ImprisonedThisTimeForReal'': The prison guards who torture the waterbender prisoners and refuse to give them medical attention afterwards are clearly this.
* ''Fanfic/LastChildOfKrypton'': Gendo provides plenty examples of dog-kicking. Some instances:
** He [[spoiler:engineered a plane crash to test Shinji’s reaction. Yes, he risked hundreds of lives –including one of his pilots- only to be sure that he could predict Shinji’s actions.]]
** Gendo demanded Asuka be disciplined for “insubordination” when she fought Shamshel, despite it being not her fault at all.
** While Rei was hospitalized, Shinji brought her flowers. Gendo saw them, he told: “You do not need flowers” and dumped them in the trash.

* In''Fanfic/AhArchfall'', a good example of this is shown in an exchange between Belldandy and the main character, Jago:
-->''“Well we could try… singing?” Belldandy asked hopefully. At this, Jago did raise his hat, peering out from under the brim.''
-->''“Well that depends; would you rather be cremated or buried at sea?”''

* ''Fanfic/ThePezDispenserAndTheReignOfTerror'': The duplicate [[YouHaveFailedMe killing one of his own men]] prompts this reaction.
* In ''FanFic/MegaManRecut'', Wily reprograms Drill Man against his will because Drill Man wasn't sure about causing earthquakes in New York.
* In ''FanFic/MegaManDefenderOfTheHumanRace'', Dr. Wily does this a ''lot'', especially to his own robots.
** In the episode 9 epilogue, he [[spoiler:demoted [=ProtoMan=] in front of all the other robots when it was Wily's fault the plan failed, and made it so he can never leave the fortress without permission again]].
** Metal Man decapitates a Sniper Joe in Episode 9, though it isn't killed.
** Centaur Man gets one in episode 11 when he imitates a heartbroken Mega Man while he's relaying information to Wily.
** In Episode 11 Wily demotes [=ProtoMan=] to the lowest rung yet, prevents him from going on missions, and [[spoiler:weaponizes a Pet the Dog moment with Bass]] to further hurt him. Then, in a later chapter, he [[spoiler: burns [=ProtoMan=]'s photograph of himself and Mega Man together]].
** Episode 12 has Miss T ripping apart Tonya's wedding dress.

* The ''WesternAnimation/JackieChanAdventures'' fic ''Fanfic/TheUltimateEvil'':
** When Valmont is about to blast Jackie with the Dragon Talisman, Valerie Payne comes between them and pleads Valmont to stop. In response, Valmont gives her his first impressions by blasting her instead.
** When Hak Foo attacks Valerie in her apartment, he not only injures her severely when she fights back, but also leaves her callously to die (which would have likely happened if not [[VillainousRescue for Shendu]]).
* ''FanFic/QueenOfShadows'': In Shendu's first appearance in the new reality, he forces a slave girl to dance for him nonstop, until she's practically collapsing from exhaustion (and specifically notes that he [[ForTheEvulz enjoys her suffering more than the dancing]]). When she's finally done, he [[PetTheDog compliments her]], saying that it was clearly the best she's ever danced... and since she'll probably never do better, [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness she's of no further use to him]], so he [[KillItWithFire incinerates her]]. And judging by his court's reaction, this is a regular occurrence.

* Throughout the ''Fanfic/{{Eleutherophobia}}'' series, Tom recalls several times that [[PuppeteerParasite Essa 412]] had been excessively cruel to him, from taunting him with the idea that his little brother was going to die of a drug overdose, to snapping a child's neck because his singing made Tom and some other hosts feel hopeful.

* Throughout the ''Fanfic/{{Eleutherophobia}}'' series, Tom recalls several times that [[PuppeteerParasite Essa 412]] had been excessively cruel to him, from taunting him with the idea that his little brother was doing drugs [[AndIMustScream and there's nothing Tom could do about it]], to strangling a little boy because his singing gave Tom hope.

* In ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13861364/1/Imitation-Steamrollers Imitation Steamrollers]]'', [[WesternAnimation/ThomasAndFriends George]] nastily brings up the time Percy accidentally killed a family simply to make Gina mad.

* ''Fanfic/TheManyDatesOfDannyFenton'' (''WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom'' WesternAnimation, [[{{Series}} TV Series]], and ComicBooks.): As if stealing Timmy's prized Crimson Chin comic wasn't bad enough, Vicky adds injury to insult by giving him a wedgie.

* The ''Webcomic/AxisPowersHetalia'' fanfic ''FanFic/AllHeEverWanted'' has Prussia, Hungary and several others punting puppies with ridiculous ease to show off how DarkerAndEdgier it is compared to the original source.

* In ''FanFic/LoadedBones'', while Yami Bakura is generally mean to Ryou, once he regains control of the body he becomes very manipulative and cruel.

* ''FanFic/TheWorstPrisoner'': Hahn throws into Zuko's face how his father doesn't want him after Zuko calls his plan stupid and even goes as far as suggesting they should drown him as response to the Ozai's insult.

* All throughout ''Fanfic/LovedAndLost'', Prince Jewelius and his followers go out of their way to make life for Twilight's [[HeroesWithBadPublicity dishonored loved ones]] as miserable as possible, gleefully taking delight in their misfortunes:
** First, he unfairly blames [[CainAndAbel his loving cousin]] Princess Cadence for allowing Queen Chrysalis to impersonate her and sentences her to exile along with the other princesses [[spoiler: even though it was ''him'', not Chrysalis who knocked her unconscious]]. When she tries using her love spell to reason with him, he [[NoSell laughs as it has no effect on him and calls it a trick]].
** When Shining Armor frantically asks if Twilight (whom he last saw falling unconscious) is okay, the [[TheUsurper tyrant king]] only responds with a [[LackofEmpathy sadistic grin]] as the big brother panicking over his sister is taken away along with the other exiles.
** For no other reason than to pour salt in their wounds, Jewelius then sends Spike the wedding cake toppers and Rarity her bridesmaid dress as cruel reminders of the failures that they were banished for.
** After [[KnightTemplar Commander Hildread]] leaves Spike exiled in a dark forest, he asks her to tell Twilight he's sorry for abandoning her. [[LackofEmpathy Unsympathetic towards the baby dragon's remorse]], Hildread viciously screams in his face, frightening him as she leaves him the wedding toppers.

** Earlier that day, he subjects Shining Armor to a flurry of insults from his former fellow guards and a [[ATasteOfTheLash brutal public flogging]] from Commander Hildread.
** He also reveals that he [[spoiler:had [[SickbedSlaying many of the injured royal guards murdered]] for remaining loyal to the princesses]].
** The next day, the prisoners are [[ShamedByAMob publicly shamed and insulted by the citizens of Canterlot]], who all [[BrokenPedestal feel themselves to be betrayed by their former protectors]]. Jewelius takes immense pleasure as the heroes' failed attempt to tell the crowd and Twilight the CassandraTruth about [[spoiler:Jewelius being the one behind the invasion]] only succeeds in making them even more scorned upon.
** Jewelius makes the lives of Ponyville's citizens miserable as retribution for the Mane Five's actions. When he plans to [[spoiler: massacre all of Ponyville]], he [[DestinationDefenestration tosses a guard out of a window]] simply for questioning the decision.

* In the Fanfic/KingdomHeartsTheShortAndHonestVersion (found in the [[FanficRecs/KingdomHearts fanfic recs/ page]]) Clayton from [[Disney/{{Tarzan}} Deep Jungle]] mentions "punting a few puppies off a cliff".
