* ''Webcomic/NaruHinaChronicles'':
** Hinata initially thought that Hiashi wouldn't approve of her dating Naruto because of Hyuga standards, even going so far as to lie to her father while her boyfriend was present by claiming he's just a friend. After she explains the whole situation to Hiashi, he replies that he indeed does not approve... of her lying to him while Naruto was present. He then tells her to go apologize to Naruto and that he expects them to be present at the Hyuga residence the next day so they can have a talk and lay down ground rules.

One form of this is to start with an analogy that is typically used in favour of perspective X... only to go on to describe [[AnalogyBackfire why it makes more sense to use this analogy against perspective X instead.]] Another common one is "This isn't good...this is great" or "I didn't like it... I loved it." The fancy rhetorical term for this is paraprosdokian. If the character really ''was'' meaning to say the first thing, and then changed their mind, it's a LastSecondWordSwap or VerbalBackspace.
