* [[WordOfGod According to the author of]] ''Fanfic/{{ARTICLE 2}}'', you're not supposed to like the immature jerk that is Major Shane T. Doran. However, him being a SoleSurvivor with severe SurvivorGuilt that is unused to the kind of treatment he receives from the Equestrians, takes no shit even from the Princesses, and oftentimes pulls CrazyIsCool and funny stunts, it's hard ''not'' to like him.
* The newfoals that make up the eponymous organization in ''[[Fanfic/TheConversionBureauTheChatoverse The Reasonably Adamant Down With Celestia Newfoal Society]]''. The narrative frames them as a bunch of ungrateful whiners who don't realize how great they've now got it since they're now magical creatures living in a SugarBowl utopia, but for a great many readers, their complaints are not entirely unfounded as several of them were transformed against their will (one was even ponified in her sleep).

!!''Franchise/FiveNightsAtFreddys''
* ''Webcomic/FiveNightsAtFreddysLostSouls'': Golden Freddy has started to evoke that reaction in readers from Night 5 onward. He's meant to be an antagonist, but many readers found themselves sympathizing with him more and more, especially when he started to be contrasted against the far less fleshed out Kelly. His dislike for teenagers and adult humans is given a very good reason in his own side story ''Crybaby'', his love for the Fazbears and desire to protect them is revealed as genuine, if misguided and possessive, and while he does do some reprehensible things, like telling Cody he'll hurt Bridget, he ultimately doesn't truly want to hurt anybody (until Night 6, anyway).

* Queen Celestia from ''Fanfic/TheConversionBureauTheOtherSideOfTheSpectrum'' is the absolute ruler of the Solar Empire, a ''brutal'' totalitarian police state that is committing xenocide on humanity, routinely does [[PlayingWithSyringes cruel experiments]] on humans, and {{Mind Rape}}s its citizens on the regular. The narration frames her as an irredeemably evil tyrant. But with the revelation that [[spoiler:she is possessed by the Bag of Tirek]], the readers saw her as the biggest victim in the story.

* ''Fanfic/EquestriaGirlsAFairlyOddFriendship'': Timmy [[spoiler:destroying Gary and Betty's truck]] is supposed to be treated as him crossing a line by the Rainbooms. Most viewers believed Timmy was in the right, especially since Gary and Betty are incredibly obnoxious characters who made Timmy's life miserable. It doesn't help that while the audience is aware Timmy can't kill people with his magic, the Rainbooms weren't aware of that fact.
* The author of ''Fanfic/TheGrinningSnake'' clearly dislikes [[Anime/MyHime Shizuru]] and believes she got her long-overdue comeuppance for killing the First District when the daughter of one of her victims [[Anime/HellGirl makes a contract to send her to Hell]]. However, some, such as Shizuru's fans, sympathize more with her and may not believe she deserves to go to hell for [[PayEvilUntoEvil massacring an evil organization]].
* ''Fanfic/InfinityTrainBlossomingTrail'':
** WordOfGod is that Goh is a deeply selfish and uncaring individual who holds the most responsibility for Chloe running away, and his efforts to fix things are wrongheaded and shallow. But his guilt and self-loathing come off as a little ''too'' genuine, and his fragile mental state (before, during, and after his TraumaCongaLine) makes the prospect of Chloe completely rejecting his friendship, something that the story insists is her right, seem more like a cruel BreakTheCutie than anything cathartic or deserved. The Intermission attempted to amend that somewhat with Goh being sorely in denial about what Chloe actually ''wants'' from him, but not everyone felt that it was sufficient. Arc 2 made the amendment much better by making it clear that Goh's problems have gone beyond Chloe and him, making him reach the intended sympathy level for many readers (as in, little to none). [[spoiler:Then the combination of Parker's "nightmare therapy" backfiring, his stay at a suicide ward, and his kidnapping made him truly sympathetic.]] And all of this ignores the fact that [[DesignatedHero Chloe is not blameless in their deteriorating friendship.]]
** Ash is already treated by the narrative as sympathetic compared to Goh or Professor Cerise, but a sizeable and ''very'' loud group of readers and critics of the story consider the treatment the story gives him to be unwarranted. These readers consider the berating of Ash for being on one end of a communications failure to a point of him developing a ''guilt complex'' to be entirely unfitting of the "crime". These readers also tend to be a lot less sympathetic to Chloe because to them, Ash is essentially being blamed for both their parts of PoorCommunicationKills.
** While the narrative frames Delia as being in the wrong during her argument with Ash, more than a few reviewers, and at least one co-writer, see Delia's disinterest in forgiving Chloe as her own choice that isn't being respected and think that the choices of words Ash uses, such as comparing her to Parker despite a demonstratively different approach to her views of guilt and blame, are uncalled for.
* Buffy in ''[[http://www.tthfanfic.org/Story-30806/Manchester+Silent+Reproach.htm Silent Reproach]]''. The reader is meant to conclude that ComicBook/CaptainAmerica gave her a well-deserved case of QuitYourWhining by pointing out that in UsefulNotes/WorldWarII, both the draftees and the volunteers simply did their job. However, the speech falls flat because, as quite a few reviewers point out, Cap fails to realize that Buffy was given a much more difficult and thankless battle to fight with less help and at a much younger age than most draftees. Draftees also generally have the hope of serving out their terms of enlistment and going home, while Slayers are [[InItForLife stuck with the job until they die in the line of duty]].
** A fanmade sequel titled ''[[https://www.tthfanfic.org/story.php?no=32046 Disapproval Earned]]'' has Xander rip Cap a new one by pointing out how much worse Buffy had it than a war draftee, including that she ''died twice'' to save the world.
* Dumbledore in ''Fanfic/ToukenDanshiAndTheOrderOfThePhoenix'' is meant to be seen as unreasonable and incompetent in running his school, but it's hard not to feel sorry for him when the alleged heroes insult and threaten him with ''bringing an army over to station on Hogwarts grounds'' for the crime of not immediately granting special treatment to Harry and expecting him to finish his required schooling and not become an outcast.

However, not only does he show no outward signs of disliking Marinette's gift (even thanking her for it), but the gift the reader insert gives him is an incredibly rare DVD copy of a film starring his MissingMom -- meaning it's only natural that he gets more excited about getting it.

However, a number of readers felt that his treatment fell into KarmicOverkill; not only does his life end up systematically destroyed until he's got nothing left, but it's stated in the narrative that he's suffering ''Lila's'' karma as well as his own, leaving her [[KarmaHoudini free from the consequences of her actions]] outside of some paranoia (when most "salt fic" writers at least make sure she gets punished alongside him).

However, it's not hard to feel sorry for Ash, when he basically gets chewed out for the heinous act of being a good sport, and even though you know even if Pikachu defeats the Charizard, Ash is very unlikely to win the entire battle.

In contrast, Trixie comes from a sheltered middle-class family. Dan's bad attitude is kind of understandable here, while it just seems like Trixie is being snobby.
