History NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist / FanWorks

* In ''Wisdom and Courage'', part of the ''Fanfic/BoundDestiniesTrilogy'', [[BigBad Veran]] repeatedly claims that she does what she's doing to avenge her fallen ancestors and get her people to see the error of their ways, but it falls flat because she commits random acts of violence and mass murder for no other reason than to acquire power for herself and [[ForTheEvulz her own sadistic amusement]]. Zelda even [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech calls her out on it]] during the final showdown, stating outright that it's clear that all Veran ''truly'' wants is to [[AxCrazy satisfy her own bloodlust]].

* ''Fanfic/ForHisOwnSake'': Naru and Motoko offer vain excuses that they were trying to protect others from Keitaro's "perversions," no matter how times they've been told he wasn't actually doing anything. Naru especially is held to task by Seta when he discovers how badly her behavior has warped Sarah's development. When she claims she was worried about Sarah being mistreated by Keitaro, Seta argues she allowed Sarah to misbehave to her heart's content by beating up Keitaro whenever he tried to discipline her, thus teaching the girl she can do whatever she likes because she won't be punished for it. Motoko is later called out on her hypocrisy about Keitaro's "perversions" [[spoiler:when her family and the God Cry School elders are shown the erotic novels she wrote about Keitaro.]]

* ''Fanfic/LiesOfAttrition:'' While [[BigBad Chrysalis's]] stated goal is to undo Monarque's Wish and put things back to the way they were, it's clear that she's ultimately only in it for her own secret agenda. [[spoiler: This is underscored by the way she sadistically taunts Ladybug while she's incapacitated, and specifically mentions that she plans to let Chat Noir take her Miraculous off her rather than just doing it herself]].
* ''Fanfic/TruthAndConsequences:'' Marinette ''claims'' to have made her [[DealWithTheDevil deal with Hawk Moth]] and [[FaceHeelTurn betrayed Chat Noir]] for the greater good, but ultimately her claims fall flat because it's blatantly obvious that she just wants to be done with her duties as Ladybug, and is simply lying to herself [[SecretlySelfish to cover up]] her [[ItsAllAboutMe naked self-interest]], and even her love for Adrien, who she claims she's doing this all for, is painted in a very selfish and entitled light. Even ''she'' eventually admits that she's doing this because it's the right thing for ''her'', only to quickly slip back into [[BelievingTheirOwnLies Believing Her Own Lies]].

* ''Fanfic/WeightOffYourShoulder'': As Bunnyx, Future Alix claims to be concerned about preserving the future, which threatens to change ''dramatically'' after Marinette decides to step down as Guardian and pass on her Earrings to a new Ladybug. In reality, however, she's a massive {{Hypocrite}} -- the canon timeline that she insists is so sacrosanct is actually the result of her ''personally'' meddling with time, trying to force [[ShipperWithAnAgenda Marinette and Adrien into a relationship]] despite how it always ends in disaster. In essence, [[TimeTravelingJerkass Future!Alix]] wants to MakeWrongWhatOnceWentRight [[SkewedPriorities for the sake of her ship]], not caring one whit about what harm she or any of the ''villains'' cause in the process.

* Fanfic/InTheKingdomsService: the Vale Secret Service is a group of {{Well Intentioned Extremist}}s who do what they have to in order to protect Vale and its citizens, with Oobleck stating that they put it all on the line to protect them "because we love them". After Oobleck dies, it's revealed that only his faction had pure intentions; the rest (fellow director Alpha in particular) only care about staying in power. Alpha kidnaps multiple agents, including one from another Kingdom's agency, to torture them for information or to break them into being loyal to him. He even has Ruby kidnapped both as a trap for Jaune, and to harvest her eyes in the (correct) belief they would be a powerful weapon.

* ''[[Fanfic/MarioFansWhatIf What If The Mario Brothers Were Imprisoned in Paintings?]]'': King Boo likes to act like he is doing what he is doing to get revenge for his people's mistreatment. However, it becomes increasingly clear that King Boo is doing it to get revenge only for himself, no matter how bad of an idea that revenge is or how little it makes sense. Eventually, the rest of the Boos realizes this and overthrow him, with King Boo declaring them all traitors and trying to kill them.
