* In ''Anime/PokemonTheOriginalSeries'', Ash Ketchum would often get hit with this whenever he used a Pokémon in a Gym match that had a distinct type disadvantage against the leader he was facing. Ash usually brushed it off, finding it was his team's skills and not their type that mattered. Whether or not he was proven right or wrong often depended on each battle; for example, in Johto, his Chikorita was easily curbstomped by a Flying-type Pokémon (as Grass-types are weak against flying), but his next match saw Chikorita defeat a Bug-type (which is also strong against Grass).

* Superboy Prime doesn't think Conner Kent is the real Superboy in ''ComicBook/InfiniteCrisis'' due to his lack of confidence in himself and darker personality. In fact, Earth-2 Superman believes the same about the entirety of the concurrent Franchise/DCUniverse, insisting that everything about it is inferior and corrupt, and therefore unworthy of being called the "real" Earth, until he's asked if that's the case with Dick Grayson, and has to admit that no, it isn't.

* ''Manga/FrierenBeyondJourneysEnd'': Demons [[MightMakesRight measure their status by means of their mana levels]]: those with more mana are automatically considered of higher status, while those with less mana are considered common rabble unworthy of respect or dignity. Therefore, the idea of [[WillfullyWeak constantly suppressing your own mana]] is something that utterly blindsides them, as they are too proud to hide their strength -- it's considered akin to a human noble abandoning their wealth and status to become a peasant. They may conceal their mana while stealthily hunting for a target, but once their cover is blown they will flare their mana as a show of their own strength. When Lügner [[LateToTheRealization finally realizes]] Frieren and her student Fern suppress their mana every waking hour specifically to fool demons like him, he refuses to acknowledge them as fellow mages. [[ShutUpHannibal Fern doesn't care for his opinion and finishes him off]].
-->'''Lügner:''' What you've done isn't fair. You're a disgrace to all mages.

* Tristar in ''Fanfic/{{Alicorn}}'' tells Rainbow Dash that she doesn't deserve to call herself a pegasus because she lacks loyalty, honor, and pride, all things that are important to pegasi. Worth noting is that Tristar is a colossal {{Jerkass}} with a personal vendetta against Rainbow, so his word is not to be taken at face value. He is right that strictly speaking she is not a pegasus though; She's an alicorn.

* ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime'' gives you two different control options for Z-Targetting: Switch (which targets something when you press the button, and then deselects when you press it again) and Hold (which requires you to hold down the button and clears your target as soon as it's released). A gossip stone claims that "real Zelda players" use the latter option.

A The former is the default, but a gossip stone claims that "real Zelda players" use the latter option. Doubles as a case of RightForTheWrongReasons as they clearly felt it was the "expert" option but Switch was infamously more difficult and despised among players who found Hold to be far easier ''and'' effective -- later games even default to Hold instead of Switch.

* ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aw4yhQOzkeE Kolanii]]'' jokingly feels this way about fans of ''VideoGame/{{Minecraft}}'' who play Bedrock Edition rather than Java Edition[[note]]There are distinct differences, and there's generally no consensus over which version is "better". One small difference, is bone meal is more useful on Bedrock as it can be used as a dye ingredient and can grow sugar cane[[/note]].
--> "Also, whoever told me I'm an idiot for not using bone meal to grow my sugar cane, who's the idiot now? Doesn't work. Maybe on ''Bedrock'' Minecraft... but on this channel, we play ''real'' Minecraft. Ahh, just kidding: no hate to my Bedrock players."

* In ''Film/MyCousinVinny'', Vinny performs a cross-examination on Mr. Tipton, a witness to the robbery and murder at the Sac-O-Suds store. According to Tipton, he was cooking his breakfast when he witnessed the robbery. Vinny asks what he had for breakfast that day, and he answers that it was eggs and grits. When asked whether it was instant grits, Tipton answers "No self-respecting Southerner uses instant grits. I take pride in my grits.". Vinny turns this against him, saying that the time it takes to prepare grits, 20 minutes, was much longer than the time the robbery took, 5 minutes, forcing him to admit that his perception of time was mistaken and therefore, he cannot corroborate the prosecution's claims.
