* In the LegacyOfKain series, Raziel's character sprouts wings before SoulReaver that play with this trope: No one really pays attention to the wings, except for Kain who destroys them [[spoiler:out of the need to turn Raziel into the XanatosSucker.]]

* TruthInTelevision: As sex columnist Dan Savage can attest to, there are many couples where one partner is too embarrassed to mention a sexual fetish, body feature, or mundane hobby, only to find out that [[ConvenientlyCommonKink the other shares this interest]], or is at least willing to play along.
** Sexual fetishism itself is an example of this trope. You'd be surprised at some of the crazy things that turn people on. Well, you're on the internet, so ''[[RuleThirtyFour you]]'' wouldn't.
* TruthInTelevision II: Children in particular will tease others for having rare hair colors, much less conditions like webbed hand and feet. Or six fingers on one hand. Or having two different colored eyes...you get the idea. Considering that these are generally small cosmetic anomalies, yeah.

* In the LegacyofKain series, Raziel's character sprouts wings before SoulReaver that play with this trope: No one really pays attention to the wings, except for Kain who destroys them [[spoiler: out of the need to turn Raziel into the XanatosSucker.]]

--->'''Police Officer:''' Hey, keep your big nose out of this, ''one-eye''.
--->'''Leela:''' ''No one'' makes fun of my ''nose!''
* While Nightcrawler is initially ashamed of his appearance in ''{{X-Men Evolution}}'', he soon seems to become more relaxed about it around other mutants (understandably, since the fans already know blue + fuzzy = adorable). He's still afraid of letting normal people see his true face, constantly wearing a device that projects a hologram around him to make him look like a normal person in public, but this trope is invoked when [[spoiler: the girl who likes him, Amanda Sefton, convinces him to turn off his image inducer, then happily reassures him - "blue is my favorite color". To her, "your fur is ''adorable''!"]].

** Sexual fetishism itself is an example of this trope. You'd be surprised at some of the crazy things that turn people on.

* The movie version of [[Film/GhostRider]] has Roxanne finding out that Johnny Blaze is the titular hero. He is sad about letting her see him this way, but Roxanne still likes him.

* ''EurekaSeven'' when Eureka's Coralian attributes begin to manifest themselves, she grows a pair of green, butterfly-like wings. At first, she is worried Renton will reject her new form, but Renton admires her new wings and thinks she has become even more beautiful. Of course, her fear here is pretty justifiable, seeing as her entire left side during a previous transformation broke out in [[BodyHorror luminous green boils.]] Even in the form where she grows wings, her left arm has become translucent and green, with some weird purple... thing roughly tracing where the bones should be. And some of the skin on her neck/face (and one assumes, the rest of the left side of her body) is similarly colored, though it doesn't quite look infected anymore.

* Brutally deconstructed in {{Fans}}. While nobody in particular is freaked out about Zaha, she feels very uncomfortable being a {{Catgirl}}. She considers this kind of attitude extremely selfish because the people who show interest in her only see the cat ears and tail and not her, as a person, and feels offended anytime someone says anything good about them. [[spoiler: She eventually becomes full human after switching bodies with someone who likes this kind of attention. The only person who would do that is a DumbBlonde AttentionWhore, a [[FurryFandom furry]] and a [[FanGirl fan]] of {{Twilight}}, SoYeah...]]. Also doubles as an AuthorTract.

* In Malibu Comics' ''{{Firearm}}'', Alec Swan runs into a [[WingedHumanoid woman with wings]] who's planning on committing suicide [[IJustWantToBeNormal over not being normal]]. Alec spends the rest of the issue talking the woman, Ellen, down, telling her that her wings are beautiful. Later on, it's revealed they got married off-panel.

* The prime example of this trope in ANY medium is found in ''EurekaSeven'' when Eureka's Coralian attributes begin to manifest themselves, she grows a pair of green, butterfly-like wings. At first, she is worried Renton will reject her new form, but Renton admires her new wings and thinks she has become even more beautiful. Of course, her fear here is pretty justifiable, seeing as her entire left side during a previous transformation broke out in [[BodyHorror luminous green boils.]] Even in the form where she grows wings, her left arm has become translucent and green, with some weird purple... thing roughly tracing where the bones should be.
