This is often used to show just how evil the villain is. If TheHero is upset over their murdered father, and the BigBad barely remembers killing the guy, then clearly the villain has murdered a lot of people in their life, and they have a pretty callous attitude about it. It can be done in a casually hurtful manner, but a CardCarryingVillain may even ''mock'' the hero as being nothing special, just to be a bit more of a {{Jerkass}}. Very frequently associated with TheSociopath with a LackOfEmpathy; to such a person, whatever [[KickTheDog reprehensible act]] they just did is just like any other mundane activity to a normal person in terms of emotional impact.

Another variation exists where a character is so used to strange or dangerous situations being a part of their everyday life that they're unable to remember a particular event which greatly affected someone. This can even be seen as a form of [[TheNarcissist narcissism]] for the victim, who will automatically assume that the one responsible would specifically remember the event because of [[MoralMyopia how important it is to]] ''[[MoralMyopia them]]''.

A heroic variation exists where a hero is unable to remember foiling some villain's scheme or putting them in jail simply due to how many bad guys they've defeated/put away, which can really tick off the villain. This is especially true if the forgotten enemy was a mook in their previous appearance(s). Alternatively, the hero may have saved someone who is now a devoted fan of the hero as a result, but when the rescuee later shows up to thank the hero, they could be hurt by their idol failing to recognize them.

Even among ThisVeryWiki, this happens: superfans see tropes of their show (that they have a great knowledge of) on a regular occurrence, but people new to that same show would find the tropes applying rather fascinating (and thus would be mystified if the [[Administrivia/HowToPickAGoodImage images]] do not make sense to them).
