** If you waste too much time in Sarif Industries before the first mission, then the hostages will be dead by the time you get there. Expect the police force to give you an earful.
** The SWAT officers will give you hell no matter what you do in the factory after the mission is over. Use lethal force on Sanders? You killed someone who could have been questioned, you bastard! [[note]] The fact that you did so to save a hostage is irrelevant.[[/note]] Use lethal force on the armed, hostile criminals with hostages (and who killed at least one hostage before you arrive)? You're a goddamn murderer, to quote one of the SWAT officers. Take Sanders down alive? Good job, Jensen, now he's going to be able to keep spreading his hate speech! You can't ''win'' with these guys; the best you can hope for is to save all the hostages and take down everyone alive, which will ''minimize'' the bitching-out the SWAT team gives you. It gets ''worse'' if you clear out all the attackers but don't disarm the bomb, as SWAT will blame ''you'' for the deaths of the hostages when they completely screw up the ''one'' part of the job you left to them.
** If you [[PacifistRun don't kill any terrorists]], [[BombDisposal defuse the bomb]], [[IWantThemAlive take Sander in alive]], and [[TalkingYourWayOut save Josie]], there are maybe ''three'' guys who are grateful to you, even admitting that they're not sure what would have happened had they just stormed the place. Notably, the ones who commend Adam are the ones who seem to actually [[TheMenFirst care about people's safety]] over whether or not [[GloryHound they got to be in charge]]. The other eight?

WhatTheHellHero is about heroes being called out for bad things they did. However, the title can make it sound like a trope about heroes doing bad things ever, similar to how most NotSoDifferent wicks didn't have any remark being made in-universe.

# Anime.MyselfYourself: When Sana introduces himself to Nanaka, he doesn't remember her at all. She slaps him as a result due to the fact that he recognized Shuusuke, Shuri, and Aoi, but not her. [[spoiler: She also later rants at him for not being there when she needed him the most shortly after her parents died in the fire.]]
# Awesome.{{Catherine}}: Also, the fact that nearly everyone is ''totally on board'' with Vincent and Rin's relationship. Jonny is pissed due to what it means for Katherine and even punches Vincent, but begrudgingly accepts it. Orlando is utterly baffled at first due to Vincent outing himself to be bisexual, and Rin's gender, but quickly decides to roll with it. That kind of reveal could've gone far worse, and it demonstrates how strong these guys' friendships are. The most telling reaction comes from Erica, who was famously outed as a transwoman in the original game. Not only did she become Rin's best friend early in the game and it's made clear she knew about Rin's gender all along, but she's visibly concerned and angry when Vincent admits that he panicked over Rin's UnsettlingGenderReveal and caused him to run away. She immediately '''[[WhatTheHellHero tells Vincent to call Rin and apologize,]]''' listens intently when Vincent desperately tries to fix his mistake over the phone, and ends up being the couple's biggest ShipperOnDeck once Vincent makes his decision. This entire scenario approaches the subject matter far, ''far'' better than the original game.

WhatTheHellHero is about heroes being called out for bad things they did. However, the title can make it sound like a trope about heroes doing bad things ever, similar to how most NotSoDifferent wicks didn't have any remark being made in-universe.

138 wicks need to be checked.
