Added DiffLines:
'''Basic Trope''': Killing one's relative is considered a MoralEventHorizon.
* '''Straight''': Emperor Evulz has killed a few heroic characters, but he's not considered irredeemably evil until he kills his parents.
* '''Exaggerated''': Evulz has committed genocide, but his murder of his neglectful parents is treated as his worst crime.
* '''Downplayed''': Most murderers are ShotAtDawn. A few get life in prison instead, but that ''never'' happens to those who have killed at least one of their own relatives.
* '''Justified''':
** The work is set in a society that values [[ThickerThanWater loyalty to one's family]] and believes that TreacheryIsASpecialKindOfEvil.
** Evulz [[OffingTheOffspring kills his 5-year-old son]]. Not only is [[WouldHurtAChild killing children considered especially heinous]], but the victim was the little boy he was supposed to love and protect. Of course everyone is condemning him.

* '''Subverted''': Evulz killing his parents is initially portrayed as shocking, but he later reveals that they [[AbusiveParents frequently starved him and beat him up]], making him a SympatheticMurderer instead.
* '''Double Subverted''': It turns out that Evulz's stories of abuse were made up in order to justify his crime. Once again, he's treated as irredeemably evil for killing the people who raised him and then slandering them.

* '''Averted''':
** Evulz kills his parents, and it's treated as no worse than his numerous other crimes.
** Evulz kills his parents, but they're portrayed as {{Asshole Victim}}s who had it coming anyway.
* '''Enforced''': MoralGuardians forced the writers to add scenes that {{anvilicious}}ly condemn Evulz's parricide (as if it wasn't already obvious that you're supposed to hate Evulz, and you didn't already know that [[CaptainObviousAesop killing one's parents is bad]]).
* '''Lampshaded''':
* '''Invoked''':
* '''Exploited''': [[VillainWithGoodPublicity Empress Belladonna]] notices that Evulz has killed his parents, and uses [[EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas her love for her mother]] to make herself look better.
* '''Defied''':
--> '''Hiro:''' This is the monster who [[ColdBloodedTorture callously tortured Lance to death]]. The murder of his own parents doesn't prove anything about him we didn't already know.
* '''Discussed''':
* '''Conversed''':
* '''Implied''': Hiro reads an article about two convicted murderers. The one who killed two people with the same surname as him got the death penalty, while the one who killed two random people got 30 years in prison.
* '''Played For Horror''': Evulz murders dozens of people to cover up his parricide. He'll be considered irredeemably evil anyway if he gets caught, so why hold back?
