* ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'': An {{invoked|Trope}} example. James Ironwood's stubborn pride and paranoia make him believe he's sacrificing himself to protect people from [[BigBad Salem]]. Once his friends and allies eventually challenge these decisions and try pointing out he's double-crossing friends, sowing distrust between allies and hurting people rather than helping them, he doubles-down on his belief he's the one doing the right thing. [[spoiler:He and Winter Schnee fight over it at the end of the eighth volume, where he reveals he believes everyone's ungrateful for his sacrifices to rescue them. Winter says he's forced everyone else to sacrifice instead of him, but he considers it proof of what he's saying.]]

Before Taco-Man leaves, he tells Zelda, "You're just rude and ungrateful!"
