History WhatTheHellHero / FanWorks

* ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/44950582/ Disrespecting Authority]]'' features Ginny, Sirius, and Arthur all calling Dumbledore out over his decision to force Harry to learn Occlumency from Snape. Ginny is indignant when Dumbledore's attempt to conceal the truth from Umbridge involves a lie that forces Harry to attend another week's detention with Umbridge, Sirius (backed by Remus) points out that part of Occlumency training requires complete trust between teacher and student when he would ''never'' trust Snape with a secret and knows Harry wouldn't either, and Arthur affirms that Ginny is right to be concerned given her own experience of mental abuse after her time with the Diary.

** "Zombizou" has Marinette call out Mme. Bustier's blatant favoritism towards Chloé, with how she constantly [[KarmaHoudini refuses to punish her]] for any of her bullying while expecting the rest of the class to bend over backwards accomodating TheUnapologetic SpoiledBrat.

''(She interrupts him with a slap)''

* ''Fanfic/{{Blackbird|Arrow}}'';

** After Laurel [[spoiler:gets Oliver to release Nyssa from the League]], Nyssa lets Laurel have it. Pointing out that that was Laurel's desire, not hers, and it has lead to her [[spoiler:losing the only life and home she has ever known]].

* ''Fanfic/TheChaoticMasters'': When Raven makes some disparaging comments after Jade gets a palisman, Jade finally snaps and chews her out for the negative attitude she's treated Jade with since they met, stating how Jade [[BrokenPedestal looked up to her but now sees her as a huge]] JerkAss.

* ''FanFic/BlackenedSkies'': In the wake of the first trial, Kaede faces [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome the natural consequences]] of the way she conducted herself during it. Namely the fact that she kept secrets and lied about what she knew, a good chunk of which got exposed over the course of the trial anyway. Tsumugi in particular calls her out:

* ''Fanfic/SwimmingInTerror'': Saionji, [[BitchInSheepsClothing of all people]], tells Hibiki; "Someone died, and all you care about is yourself!"

* In ''Fanfic/GhostsHowToTrainYourDragon'', Hiccup, instead of being awed and amazed by Valka's appearance, is upset and furious at Valka for abandoning him for 20 years and expecting to just waltz back into Hiccup's life.

* In "[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/3666435/1/All-I-Really-Want All I Really Want]]", Shego explicitly calls Kim out on how she's twice been fine with basically using mind control on Shego. Kim protests that the use of the mind control shampoo was just in the heat of battle and she didn't do anything more than tell Shego to go away and wait until it wore off, but her reaction to the Attitudinator turning Shego into Miss Go is more complex; while Kim didn't cause the incident, she also didn't do anything to turn Shego back to normal, and when Kim tries to point out that she seemed happier as Miss Go than as herself, [[ArmorPiercingQuestion Shego asks if Kim thinks Ron was genuinely "happier" as Zorpox]].

[[AC: ''VideoGame/Left4Dead2'']]

* The ''ComicBook/SpiderMan'' fic "[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/49689625/ Jackpot]]" presents Peter and Mary Jane finding a genie in an alternate post-''ComicBook/OneMoreDay'' world where they didn't take Mephisto's deal and Aunt May died, leaving them both on the run from the pro-Registration forces. While there is no sign that Peter delivered this statement to Tony Stark directly, he's incredulous and disgusted to discover that Tony has moved Wilson Fisk into protective custody after Peter beat Fisk up for his role in May's death, as Tony failed to provide adequate security for May in the first place and is now protecting the man basically responsible for her death. Peter is further outraged when Tony confronts him in a new armor specifically designed to take down Spider-Man, using tech derived from the Spider-Slayers, outright asking how Tony can consider himself the good guy when he's resorted to these kind of methods.
* In "[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11114325/1/The-Measure-of-a-Man The Measure of a Man]]", Peter Parker gets to deliver one to the rest of the Avengers and other heroes when he asks them how they couldn’t have realized Ock was in control of his body for the last few weeks.

* In ''[[Fanfic/TheWolvesInTheWoodsMiraculousLadybug The Wolves in the Woods]]'', ''[[EveryoneHasStandards Lila]]'' calls out Adrien on his SkewedPriorities and naive belief that [[StatusQuoIsGod everything will go back to normal]] if she stops lying:

* ''Fanfic/AvengersInfiniteWars'';

(It's Eggman's doing, obviously.) After the showdown, Sonic holds nothing back as he berates them -- just when he thought that they could look past animalistic looks. His words hit close to home:

* In ''FanFic/AnEntryWithABang!'', public opinion turns against the anti-mercenary protestors after they injure one of the child dependents of the Buron Cavalry.

* ''Fanfic/MiraculousLadybugVsTheForcesOfEvil'' has Alya give this to Mari after she finds out [[spoiler:she's Ladybug]] and more importantly, that she doesn't seem to give any good reason why she never told her.

* In ''FanFic/NoHoper'', [[EvenEvilHasStandards Neferet]] calls out the human scientists for experimenting on and killing children in their search for a vampyre cure.

** Ruby’s reaction to [[spoiler:finding out Sunset was willing to doom Vale in order to give their team a slightly better chance at survival.]]
** Ironwood's reaction to [[spoiler:Rainbow revealing that she not only let Sunset destroy the train controls, but that she also kept it secret for months on end.]]

* In the end chapter of ''FanFic/ToKillAThief'', Light calls out Miyako about [[spoiler:why she refuses to believe Maron is Jeanne because of the resemblance, contrasting on how he immediately found out because of said resemblance.]]

* Subverted in ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11281809/1/Phoenix-Wright-Ghosts-of-the-Past Phoenix Wright: Ghosts of the Past]]''. Phoenix is ''going'' to give one to Iris after [[spoiler:she punches Trucy in the face]] (it was an accident, but he didn't know that yet), but when he sees that she's already in full MyGodWhatHaveIDone mode he changes his mind and tries to help fix things instead.

* ''[[Fanfic/BlackbirdArrow Blackbird]]'';

* ''[[Fanfic/CheshireMiraculousLadybug Cheshire]]'': Marinette chews out Fu for giving Miraculous to her bullies and not trying to retrieve Pollen. [[spoiler:She uses this as an opportunity to cut ties with them.]]

* ''Fanfic/CrimsonAndNoire''

** Aurore to Crimson in chapter 25 when he first learns about aromantic and [[OpenMouthInsertFoot comments that not having romantic feelings would be horrible]]. She tells him that kind of thinking is what led Alix to get akumatized in the first place from built-up frustration, and that she would hit him if she didn't know he only just learned about this orientation.

[[AC:''Manga/{{Metamorphosis}}'']]

* In ''Fanfic/{{Kage}}'', Jade is absolutely ''furious'' when she discovers that the Guardians [[FrameUp framed]] [[NobleDemon Raythor]] for a crime that he didn't commit and got him banished to [[EldritchLocation the Abyss of Shadows]], and later gives Will a TheReasonYouSuckSpeech over it.

*** Tynar calls out the Guardians and Elyon for their treatment of Kage and assuming she was an enemy when they first met her, which is what drove her to the Knights of Vengeance in the first place.

*** Elyon is ''pissed'' when she finds the rebels and guards coming to blows over their rising tensions, especially at Caleb, whose denial about the truth about Jade/Kage and "the Mage" is only enflaming the problem.

*** Amelia calls out Vera for how her obsession with getting revenge on the Mogriffs is compromising her ability to be an effective leader in fighting them.
*** While it isn't a face-to-face conversation, Vera Bexley is furious when she learns that Elyon has ordered the northern army to abandon the siege of Snowpoint (and thus Vera's [[YouKilledMyFather quest for revenge on the Mogriffs]]) and withdraw to the capital. Her commander, Bastian Bromwood, in return has some choice words for her when [[RevengeBeforeReason she suggests disobeying those orders]], pointing out that regardless of how they feel about it, they are still loyal to Elyon, and refuting her commands is treason.
*** When Jade finally confronts Vera face-to-face, she makes it clear she's disgusted with how the vengeful girl just [[spoiler:endangered her friends (one of whom was bleeding and in no condition to escape) just as they were surrendering before abandoning them for refusing to continue her singleminded quest for "justice"]].
*** When Vera's friends find out about her [[spoiler: lying to them to make them join her suicide mission]], they're all understandably horrified with her, with Amelia in particular chewing her out over it.
*** Vera is again on the receiving end of this during Chapter 31, not only from her ex-friends, but also Altaria and Maya when they learn that [[spoiler:she initiated the PrisonRiot just so she could assassinate Kage, without caring about initiating a war between the Shadow Realm and all of Meridian]].

* In ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/29961147/chapters/77216711#workskin Izuku Midoriya the Rabbit]]'', Izuku calls out Mirko for refusing to join the Yakuza Raid and rescue Eri simply because [[IWorkAlone "she doesn't do teamwork"]].

-->'''Izuku:''' Look! She's suffering and you can end that suffering but you're not! It doesn't matter that you don't like using that side of your Quirk! You want to be a hero, right! So uses all of your Quirk to help people.

*** Sir Nighteye also gives one to All Might in the aftermath for being unmindful of his limits and for his unwillingness to look beyond Izuku's Quirklessness, finally getting through him by pointing out that, by his own actions, he is treating Izuku as if he were lesser than the others - precisely the kind of thing he's supposed to be against.

** The first is Ochako calling Izuku out, complete with one hell of a slap, for tricking her into using her quirk on him in order to try to pull an HeroicSacrifice to save All Might from Tomura and his Nomu. She understand why he did it, but reminds him that they're a team, and he promised her not to leave her behind and to face danger together.
** The second, much bigger one, is given to All Might from Aizawa when he finds out that far from curbing Izuku's tendency to recklessly putting himself in danger in his attempts to save others, All Might actually ''reinforced'' said behavior by praising and rewarding him when Izuku tried to save Bakugo from the Sludge Villain.

** {{Downplayed}}; after an [[DidntThinkThisThrough ill-thought-out]] kidnapping attempt, Y/N has a pointed question for Vlad King as to why he decided to use her as a target for Class 1-B's information gathering and planning skills, and didn't inform her beforehand.
** When Y/N hears that [[ShrinkingViolet Midoriya]] and [[JerkJock Bakugou]] will be teamed up against All Might for their final exam purely because they don't get along (thus making the exam an attempt to [[FireForgedFriends teach them teamwork]]) and [[{{Seers}} gets a vision about how it will play out]] (with Bakugou refusing to listen to Midoriya and even punching him in the face), she chews out both Yagi for almost breaking Midoriya's back and Aizawa for even suggesting the pairing in the first place, as Midoriya is already fully willing to team up with Bakugou and thus would get nothing out of the exam, effectively making the exam a test for Bakugou and a ''punishment'' for Midoriya, and affirms that the one-sided animosity between them is too toxic for a single test to fix. Nedzu and the other staff take this to heart, and agree to follow her suggestion of putting them on different teams.

** Izuku tells his classmates that real heroes make people feel safe, and since his classmates do the exact opposite to him, none of them deserves to be heroes.

* Pinkie gives Twilight a long and painful one in ''Fanfic/AsylumDaemonOfDecay'', after the latter let her frustration with Pinkie's reluctance to help her get the best of her and struck her:

'''Twilight''': ''([[BerserkButton becomes extremely angry]])'' Yes, you didn't know. Just like you didn't know about the bad behavior she was showing during the planning for the wedding! Just like you didn't know about the strange spells she was constantly casting on my brother, which obviously weren't headache healing spells! Just like you didn't know what [[WoundedGazelleGambit that display of crocodile tears at the rehearsal]] was meant to do! Just like you didn't know she was imprisoning ponies who were becoming obstacles in her plan in the caverns underneath the castle, like me! And just like you didn't know that she was the ''EVIL'' queen of an army of shapeshifting insect like monsters bent on devouring all the love in Equestria! Well, I know one place that they won't be able to find any real love!\\

'''Twilight''': No you're not! You only hangout with me because my connections could help you. You never cared about me or anypony else! I can't believe I fell for it for so long.\\

** In the 12th chapter, the disgraced heroes are [[ShamedByAMob reproached by Canterlot's angry citizens]] who are captivated by [[VillainWithGoodPublicity Jewelius']] half-truths and feel themselves betrayed by their [[BrokenPedestal former idols]]. The original bridesmaids Lyra Heartstrings, Minuette and Twinkleshine -- who were hypnotized to keep Cadance and Twilight contained in the caverns -- are also along to voice their disbelief over the fact that only Twilight cared about their disappearance and that everypony else just took Chrysalis' word for it.

* In ''Fanfic/TheVinylScratchTapes'', Vinyl gets one from Princess Luna when Vinyl not only insults Prince Blueblood (who may be a jerk, but by that point Vinyl's campaign to get back at him was so successful he's turned to drinking to help deal with the fact that ponies send death threats to him on a regular basis) in front of her, but also reveals she's the one who humiliated Princess Celestia by guilt-tripping her for banishing Luna during her Nightmare Moon phase, causing Vinyl to enter a HeroicBSOD. Later, Luna is forced to apologize for the latter (but refuses for the former). However, Trixie then busts out of a trash can (ItMakesSenseInContext) and accuses all the assembled ponies who gathered to make Vinyl feel better that they are all hypocrites for treating Blueblood like a pariah for being a jerk, but pretending Vinyl's own jackassery is charming (especially since this jackassery involves hiring a known criminal and a slaver and bringing him into the heart of Canterlot).

** Sasuke of all people calls out a pair of Konoha ninja for trying to kill each other over one having an affair with the others wife while all of them are currently on break from searching for survivors in the aftermath of the ''worst attack on Konoha since the Kyuubi''. The other shinobi around admit he was right and that they would've stood back and let it happen.
** Asuma once raged at Ino for throwing live steel around the training grounds instead of the foam tipped practice ones she's supposed to as she could easily injure or kill someone if she misses her target. He likewise chewed out Shikamaru for using his shadow technique to throw off her aim because he was sick of Ino's boasting. As punishment, Asuma threw kunai around the training grounds and each one they failed to catch meant they had to run a lap around the entire village.

* In ''Fanfic/KitsuneNoKenFistOfTheFox'', Naruto gets called out a total of four times throughout the story. The first three times (coming separately from Ino, Neji and Shikamaru) concern an incident where he almost killed an attacker and was willing to ignore his friends' urging to spare the person's life, then proceeded to avoid his friends after the fact. The fourth occasion is during his tribunal for being a member of the [[TheDreaded Kyuushingai]] who contributed to a year's worth of chaos across the country, where both Judge Utatane and prosecutor Yugao chew him out for his subsequent "IDidWhatIHadToDo" attitude regarding that period, even when he explains that he did all he did in an effort to stop [[EvilCounterpart Gaara's]] plot to take over the government.

** A minor, humorous example when Shinji complains Asuka has gotten heavier, she replies it is Teri’s fault and he asks whether she is seriously blaming their unborn daughter who can’t speak in her behalf.

'''Asuka''': Do you see what you are doing? What you’ve been doing ever since you woke up? You wrap yourself up in this warm blanket of hate because it makes you feel powerful! It’s the only way you can feel powerful again without the help of others! But it’s only a drug. A quick chemical that hides your troubles! Meanwhile they’re still there GETTING WORSE. So, once again, the great Asuka Langley Sohryu is retreating from her troubles armed with a medicine cabinet of powerful looking narcotics! My, how self-reliant you are!
** In chapter 15 Asuka and Mari were supposed to take part in a training session. However they started [[OldSchoolDogFight dog-fighting]]. Misato chewed them out, stating that she had no use for pilots that still have to prove that they can do their jobs.
