History TookALevelInJerkass / Webcomics

* ''Webcomic/{{Avalon}}'' has Alison grow noticeably more full of herself and frustrated at the antics of her friends as the years progressed.

* ''WebComic/BittersweetCandyBowl'' sees Mike go from a NiceGuy to a bitter {{Jerkass}} as part of its {{Deconstruction}} of the {{Tsundere}} archetype. Turns out all those years of [[DoubleStandardAbuseFemaleOnMale getting punched around]] while his friends laughed have taken their toll. To make matters worse, by the time he finally snaps, Lucy [[KarmaHoudiniWarranty has actually]] ''[[CharacterDevelopment improved]]'', and his newfound nastiness and need to vent all that pent-up frustration leave her [[BreakTheCutie more of a mess]].

** And now, [[spoiler:Aranea herself]] combines this with FaceHeelTurn, becoming not only more sadistic and arrogant, but also ''unbelievably'' [[SmugSnake smug]].

** Tracy initially looked like lead character Gary’s born geeky soulmate. However, she then started coming across as ridiculously pushy and sexually manipulative, bouncing Gary into sexual activities that he never really wanted and that looked borderline nonconsensual. It's telling that even ExtremeDoormat Gary eventually got fed up and washed his hands of her. However, it’s questionable whether this was CharacterDevelopment or whether she was probably like that all along.

** Something similar happened to John in Act 6 due to CabinFever.

* Seymore of ''Webcomic/{{Sinfest}}'' became more and more of an asshole around 2010, culminating with the "Bad Behavior" series.

* When Stephen first approaches Bryce in ''Webcomic/WeakHero'', he's receptive to the attention and happy to join the friend circle between him and Gray. But the longer that Bryce stays at Stephen's side, the more that his inferiority complex gets the better of him, until he's mutated into a full-blown {{jerkass}}.

** [=DiDi=] originally appeared to be sweetly nice if [[TheDitz ditzy]], but her desperate desire for an orgasm eventually drove her to increasingly erratic and sometimes bitchy behaviour. Some readers, looking at her earlier casual, careless treatment of her numerous boyfriends (and her later insanely unthinking treatment of the frustrated Zii), suspect she was a bit of a BitchInSheepsClothing all along, but it might be more accurate to say that her ditziness is actually nigh-autistic social and emotional incompetence.

* Due to sleep deprivation, Jade Harley of ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'' has gotten a lot grumpier - although it should be noted that she's only like that to the trolls, who have been picking on her for her entire life (with the exception of [[DoggedNiceGuy Tavros]]). She got better later on, though.

* ''Webcomics/{{Queen}}''
** Sandra big time during her FaceHeelTurn. [[spoiler:It takes a while before she reverts back to a nicer persona]].
** Wally, post-timeskip, acts a lot more insensitive towards his friends (see InnocentlyInsensitive), and has no qualms about saying he is willing to ''destroy'' Sandra in front of her former friends. Said friends include his current girlfriend, Crystal, who he knows was Sandra's closest friend.

* In ''Webcomic/CommanderKitty'', Nin Wah [[http://www.commanderkitty.com/2012/08/05/whos-the-crazy-one-here/ chooses the absolute worst]] [[http://www.commanderkitty.com/2012/08/15/nin-wahs-agenda/ time to sabotage CK]] [[http://www.commanderkitty.com/2012/09/09/she-dun-goofed/ CK for her own benefit]]. [[http://www.commanderkitty.com/2012/09/16/six-very-special-panels/ She spends the next page apologizing]], but it doesn't change the fact that 1. CK was in the right for once (surprisingly) and 2. the entire rescue operation would be over already if she hadn't [[spoiler: caused Zenith to blow a fuse]].
* Joni from ''Webcomic/BoyMeetsBoy'' is shown as a good, somewhat tomboyish straight girl and friend of gay teens Paul and Tony. But then she hooks up with dumb jock Chuck, who is really [[spoiler: most likely dating her out of spite for a previous girl who spurned his advances]], and things go downhill from there. Although her friends try to like Chuck, it's no good and then they ''don't'' try very hard to hide how much he annoys them. Even so, this doesn't excuse Joni for giving all of them (except Chuck) the silent treatment, not returning calls, or dropping completely out of their lives after about a decade of friendship. To her credit, [[spoiler: she probably goes back to making nice with Paul and Tony in the end]].
