* Mahito in ''Manga/JujutsuKaisen'' may as well be this trope's patron saint.

With her {{telepathy}} giving her a constant look at the underbelly of the human mind, she's become convinced that HumansAreTheRealMonsters, and that as such, her own thievery, murder, and attempts to TakeOverTheWorld -- and those of her partners, Cosmic King and Lightning Lord -- are perfectly okay.

* The Peace Brigade from the ''Literature/NewJediOrder'' series is made of this trope. Though it's not so much that they ''hate'' the other inhabitants of the Galaxy as they're simply scared stiff of the [[ScaryDogmaticAliens Yuuzhan Vong]]. Their mentality is less "our own race(s) suck" as it is "better them than us!"
* Pryrates from Creator/TadWilliams' ''Literature/MemorySorrowAndThorn''.
** Dread from ''Literature/{{Otherland}}'' also counts, as he hates everyone and wants to get painful revenge on the world for its mistreatment of him.

* AM from ''Literature/IHaveNoMouthandIMustScream''. AM is a supercomputer designed to manage strategies too complex for humanity to oversee, which in turn led to it killing all of humanity for being left underground, unable to do anything but hate all of those that had built him.

* ''Fanfic/MegamiNoHanabira'': [[spoiler:[[SinisterMinister Father]] [[BigBad Archibald Phillips]]: whether he started off this way or genuinely believed causing a demon outbreak [[WellIntentionedExtremist would bring humanity back to God]] is unclear, but by the time the girls confront him, his [[MotiveDecay motives have twisted]] to 'become an angel and abandon humanity to the demons because they're sinful, weak insects'.]]
* In ''Fanfic/TheJadedEyesSeries'', Harry/Tristan absolutely hates all muggles and would have no problem with killing them all except that the vampires need their food.

-->''"The funny thing is, in any other circumstance, you might have had a point there. Except my boss is a woman, I was a chick in the '40s, I hate everyone equally, and there's NO ONE ALIVE who could comprehend my sexual preference. So, in other words, Ms. Van Winkle, chuh-chuh-chuh-CHECK YOUR PRIVILEGE!"''

* In ''Fanfic/MonsterChronicles'', Cedric sees humans as weak, pathetic creatures, comparing them to livestock at one point.
