* ''NeverwinterNights2'''s Bishop holds much the same view. He doesn't bother to hide his inherent bestiality, and says as much if you try to dig out his FreudianExcuse through conversation.
** His inherent [[{{Squick}} what]]?!! Where is it said in the game?

* Davros inflicted this trope upon [[DoctorWho the Doctor]] in 'The Journey's End'. Yes, it is true that Davros created the daleks, ultimate xenophobes whose only instructions are to exterminate everything different. But can the Doctor be so high and mighty? He's killed too- committed genocide, in fact! And to bring the point home, he points out how he has changed his many companions into soldiers, all willing to kill in his name. Of course, the difference is that Davros acts only out of a desire for power- the Doctor and his companions always have good intentions at heart.

* This is Kaido's philosophy in ''DevilSurvivor''. To him, all people are ugly, selfish and power-grubbing underneath and try to solve all their problems with force -- he just doesn't see the point in trying to hide it. This comes to light when [[spoiler:he ends up in a fight with the resident KnightTemplar of the lockdown and [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech ends up explaining how]] they're NotSoDifferent (in using the fact that they're more powerful than others to bully them into following their point of view) just before he uses [[{{Mons}} Pazuzu]] to strangle his opponent to death.]]

* In ''AdvanceWars Days of Ruin'', Waylon says that Will only does his heroism to feel self-important, and Waylon doesn't hide his selfishness. Will does, however, counteract that he might indeed be [[spoiler:leading Brenner's Wolves]] out of selfishness, but if it helps even one person, then it's worth it.

-> All pumpkins are racists! The difference is that I admit it!

-> I may be love's bitch, but at least I'm man enough to admit it.

-> Yeah, I date women for their bodies, but at least I'm honest about it!

** [[FromACertainPointOfView Redcloak may see the mantle as granting him enhanced natural abilities as opposed to the innately unnatural undead lich or removal of a basic animal instinct.]]

* Col. Nathan Jessup in ''AFewGoodMen'' is considered an AntiVillain by some precisely because he is willing to admit that, by any modern standard, he is basically a barbarian. Jessup lectures the defense attorney questioning him (it is actually the attorney's clients on trial here) because he is disgusted that a "civilized" man (i.e., a civilian) who has never had to resort to violence in his life would attempt to condemn him for his methods: "My existence, while grotesque and indefensible to you, saves lives!" Of course, this is somewhat subverted by the fact that A. Jessup has been denying his involvement for the previous two hours of the movie, and B. The defense attorney is well aware that Colonel Jessup wants to brag about his barbarism to the world, and is more than willing to provoke him into it to get his clients off, even if it means being the target of a rant.

* [[OrderOfTheStick Redcloak]]'s HannibalLecture to Miko, in which he accuses paladins of being unnatural thanks to their divine immunity to fear, mentions that Xykon "is a unnatural abomination, but at least he ''cops'' to it".
** The extra complicating factor here, however, is that Redcloak himself is similarly unnatural - the Crimson Mantle he wears renders him unaging, and has massively extended his short goblinoid lifespan. And he certainly doesn't admit it, though his brother had called him out on the way that his agelessness meant that he couldn't change and grow.

* Parodied on ''The Chris Rock Show'' with the "Mike Tyson for President" ads, which show Tyson admitting stuff like how he's "a convicted rapist" and "a semi-good husband".

The hero has the villain cornered and calls him out on how his actions are evil, etc. But the villain doesn't care if his actions are evil or not, because at least the villain isn't a {{hypocrite}} when it comes to his beliefs and/or philosophy. May be related to VillainsNeverLie

* ''Discworld/GuardsGuards'' has a dragon who is appalled by humans, not because they kill (dragons kill all the time, and are expected to do so), but because humans justify it.
