History PlayingWith / HitlerAteSugar

** Alice plans out how she's going to become a vegetarian, all without telling Bob that she is doing so.

* '''Played for Laughs''': Bob makes the rationalization that since Hitler ''existed'', everyone who exists is therefore evil.

** Alice decides to give up her vegetarianism -because Hitler was a vegetarian and Hitler was evil and therefore not being a vegetarian means that she cannot be evil.

** Bob doesn't try to tell Alice that she shouldn't be a vegetarian (now).
** Bob argues that Alice shouldn't be a vegetarian (now), but he doesn't appeal to any past or present vegetarians' villainy.

* '''Parodied''': Alice is a hardcore Nazi; she is a vegetarian ''precisely'' because Hitler was one.

** Bob tries to convince Alice that, contrary to all reputable evidence, tobacco smoking and heavy drinking are good and healthy, since those were things Hitler opposed.
** Alice is an [[BadPeopleAbuseAnimals animal abuser,]] and Bob points out that [[EvenEvilHasStandards even Hitler himself despised animal abuse]]; thus, she is worse than Hitler.

** Alice says and does many objectively evil things that Hitler also did. When Bob points it out, Alice [[{{Gaslighting}} accuses Bob of using this trope]]. In doing so, she implies her (and for that matter, The Nazis') evil actions are, in fact, perfectly reasonable.

** Bob argues that Alice shouldn't be a vegetarian (now) but uses reasons unrelated to any past and present vegetarians' villainy.

* '''Reconstructed''': He apologizes and stops being obsessively intolerant. He occasionally slips back into this trope, but not to the extent he did before.
* '''Played for Laughs''': Bob makes the rationalization that since Hitler ''existed'', that makes anyone who exists evil.
