History Main / HumansAreGood

** ChronoCross goes so far [[HumansAreBastards in the opposite direction]] that it implies that any non-humans are automatically better than humanity by default, just because Lavos was heavily involved and modified humanity into their modern forms. In practice, it's more like HumansAreFlawed and so is everyone else. Well, except for the dwarves who come off as [[CompleteMonster Complete Monsters]] in their actions against the fairies.

** The history of the Dragons, Orcs, Trolls, and Eredar (one type of demon) all got {{Retcon}}ned at some point or another to blame much of their past evil on corruption by either the demonic Burning Legion or the mysterious [[CosmicHorror Old Gods]].

* While [[LightIsNotGood white and green are not always good]], in ''MagicTheGathering'''s new set Innistrad, humans are primarily white and green, and the opposite color, black, while [[DarkIsNotEvil not always evil]], is the most classically evil. Given that Innistrad is a horror setting, yes.

* The entire premise of ''StarTrekTheOriginalSeries'' was that humans would eventually grow into this state. The sequel series moved away from this; while ''[[StarTrekTheNextGeneration The Next Generation]]'' mostly stuck with it, ''[[StarTrekDeepSpaceNine Deep Space 9]]'' really started slipping away during the Dominion War, and ''[[StarTrekVoyager Voyager]]'' and ''[[StarTrekEnterprise Enterprise]]'' mostly abandoned it. (Although, as a {{Prequel}}, it ''could'' be argued that ''Enterprise'' is simply set before it happens. Or that Berman and Braga [[CompletelyMissingThePoint just don't get Trek]].) The steady inversion of ''StarTrek'''s meaning begins in the middle of Next Gen, reaching completion in Voyager. It parallels the fading of the WWII-survivor generation in the USA media.

* ''VideoGame/ChronoTrigger'' sets this up: [[spoiler:The {{Evil Chancellor}}s were [[FakeKing monsters in disguise]]; Magus, who appears to be summoning a monster to destroy the world, is actually just summoning the monster in order to kill it; the Reptites, who aren't even human, aren't so much "evil" as they are competing to be nature's selection, same could be said for the Fiends; and a [[EldritchAbomination giant space tick]] (not a [[GiantSpaceFleaFromNowhere flea]]) is set up to be the BigBad less than an hour into the game. The only villains that seem completely bad is Dalton and Queen Zeal]].[[/folder]]

* A major theme of the manga and second anime versions of ''FullmetalAlchemist'' is that as long as we're not being manipulated by {{Eldritch Abomination}}s, humans are pretty cool. Protagonist Ed considers absolutely anything even vaguely human to be completely human: [[HalfHumanHybrid Chimeras]], [[AndIMustScream living armors]], [[BodyHorror failed transmutations]], and even Homunculi, and he never kills anyone who meets any of those descriptions. Fittingly, only three characters who are not [[HarmlessVillain utterly incompetent]] remain completely despicable: the aforementioned EldritchAbomination, Shou Tucker, and [[spoiler:the Man in White]]. Even [[AxCrazy Barry the Chopper]] and [[spoiler:[[MadBomber Kimblee]]]] turn out to be advantageous to the good guys in the end.

Rossiu, the WellIntentionedExtremist who gets redeemed through GetAHoldOfYourselfMan, was in fact ''named'' for Rousseau, because he really does mean well--and once he and Simon are on the same page no force in the universe can stop them. Demonstrably. "Rossiu Was Right" is an internet meme.\\

* The humans of ''{{SDGundamForce}}'' all very nice and friendly. Both humans form Neotopia and Lacroa, (there are none in Ark) It seems only those humans who created the General and his followers where bad people. Of course we have only there word.
* Most earthlings are decent in the ''{{DragonBall}}'' universe. Sure you've got a couple big time criminals and one or two world conqurors. But other than that humanity seems quite nice.

In a SpeculativeFiction setting in which there are other species running around, human beings are paragons of virtue and goodness.
