History Main / VanHelsingHateCrimes

** They're completely justified, however, regardless of how stupid they are portrayed. Vampires almost to a man consist entirely of murderous blood-crazed psychopaths (not unlike the vampires in ''BuffyTheVampireSlayer''). The vampires who are main characters are the only ones who demonstrate any kind of self-control, and even then they freely kill anyone who threatens them or their lovers.

* [[{{Miko}} Reimu Hakurei]] was quite prone to this in early ''{{Touhou}}'' games. Over time, she softened up a little, going from HeroicSociopath to BloodKnight.

* Hoss Delgado from ''The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy'' is a spectral exterminator, hunting down the supernatural. While sometimes his targets are truly evil, sometimes he targets the (mostly) benign Grim Reaper, or other fairly harmless, kind hearted supernatural being. He targets anything really, one point he mentions he killed a bunch of lawyers because he thinks they're not human.

Goblins doesn't do this. Instead it takes place in a universe where the traditionally evil races of D&D are *not* always chaotic evil, but still have their traditional reputation. Enough fantastic racism is in place that the "good" races are perfectly willing to slaughter them now and cast spells that reveal alignment never.

* In ''{{Castlevania}} Judgment'', Sypha Belnades (herself a witch) spends her time hunting vampires, werewolves, and those who wield Dracula's power. Unfortunately, her targets turn out to be Alucard, Cornell, and Shanoa, all of whom oppose Dracula just as much as she does. The game tried to justify it by having Sypha come from the timeline before ''Castlevania 3'' began, thus having not yet met or allied with Alucard. YourMileageMayVary whether this counts as retroactive CharacterDevelopment or CharacterDerailment.

** In the manga, Alucard is not an amoral sociopathic slaughter machine. He actually doesn't attack anyone unless he's attacked ''first'' and he has a code of honor. He's a fanatic in his service to Integra, though, and would never forgive an enemy or traitor.

Compare FantasticRacism, which is like this only on a more wide-spread, societal scale. Also compare ZombieAdvocate, who argues in favor of monster's [[WhatMeasureIsANonHuman humanity]]. See also StagesOfMonsterGrief, for monsters who may or may not like their condition.

** Some of the fans didn't ignore it - there were plenty of online fora debates about whether Buffy was right to kill vampires when one (Spike) supposedly displayed the capacity for redemption; if one can they all can and therefore Buffy is a racist for denying them that opportunity, ran the argument.

** Played straight by the Cardinal, however. He has no compunctions about ordering the death of monsters, even if they are not actively evil or are even good Christians.
*** Actually, it's an almost total aversion. The Cardinal orders Van Helsing to bring them to Rome alive, so the evil may be purged from them. He gets rather pissed at Van Helsing when the latter kills them instead. The Frankenstein monster is the only case in which it's played straight

* I can't believe{{Dungeons and Dragons}} hasn't been mentioned. Many gamers assume that Evil=Ok to kill, with or without another reason. Hell, its where the {{Goblins}} usage of this trope comes from.

* Similar to the Huntsclan, ''[[{{The Life and Times of Juniper Lee}} Juniper Lee]]'' had H.A.M. (Human Against Magic) an organization that hunted monsters regardless of their alignment. Their not exactly fond of humans that help them either, a.k.a Juniper.

** Izuna, the amateur exorcist, also had a bit of this going when she first met the Sorceror Kitsune [[TheRival Tamamo]] and the Snow Maiden [[AnIcePerson Yukime]]. But these two are ''far'' beyond her level and handily humiliated her before Nube set her straight. Unlike Yang Kailen, though, Izuna is a lot more open minded (she keeps and breeds her own Tube Foxes) and gets over herself.

* The Anvilicious CallOfCthulhu adventure 'Gothic' from the modern day Goatswood campaign book, in which the scenario writer clearly states that the PCs are expected to sympathise with a couple of vampires who 'just happen to be' gay. Quite apart from issuing victim status to a pair of undead parasites, the scenario then goes on to indicate that all of their antagonists are raving bigots ''and'' to give us all a large dose of ChristianityIsCatholic in a way that doesn't sit too well with its rural English setting. Needless to say this adventure takes a lot of re-writing to be playable.
