History WhatTheHellHero / FanWorks

* In ''Fanfic/BuildYourWingsOnTheWayDown,'' Hughes is angry at Roy for endangering an eleven-year old kid (Ed) on the train by having him fight terrorists, even though Ed is a talented alchemist, because Ed was strangled and hurt and could have been hurt worse since [[ForWantOfANail Ed was by himself]].

** After the Changelings are stopped [[ForWantOfANail by Twilight using a spell to shrink them]], Prince Jewelius ceases the heroes' rejoicing by blaming Celestia as well as Twilight's friends and brother for the invasion, revealing to everypony how they refused to listen to [[ProperlyParanoid Twilight's suspicions regarding Queen Chrysalis]]. He then forcibly removes all the other heroes but Twilight from power by [[HeroWithBadPublicity destroying their reputations]], drives them away from Equestria, and [[TheUsurper takes the throne for himself]]. This example ends up becoming a double subversion because Jewelius acts as the BigBad for the rest of the story [[spoiler:(and is revealed to have been [[EvilAllAlong rotten all along]] and convinced Chrysalis to take over Equestria with him before double-crossing her)]], but the [[VillainHasAPoint ashamed heroes nevertheless admit he's right about how badly they screwed up]].

* ''Fanfic/IfWishesWerrePonies'': Twilight is ''appalled'' at how poorly managed Hogwarts truly is. [[note]] Overworked teachers, bullying going on practically unchecked, Dumbledore knowing nothing about how children ''actually'' behave, keeping dangerous artifacts in the school, etc [[/note]] She calls him out for ''all'' of this, and at one point is ready to pull Harry and the CMC from the school all together.

** Unintentionally given by [[spoiler:Jor-El's recording to Asuka]] when she hears that he hoped that ''[[Comicbook/{{Supergirl}} her powers]]'' turned her into a beacon of hope among the Earth's people. She feels horrible because up to that point she had used them to show off.
** [[spoiler:An hallucination masquerading like ''Franchise/{{Superman}}'']] gives her a much more brutal and direct one during her MindRape illusion, which completely breaks her.

* The ''Franchise/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.

[[AC:''Franchise/XMen'']]
* In ''Fanfic/{{Risen}}'', Professor Xavier disowns Scott after the latter ditches his secret identity to testify in a trial against an anti-mutant bigot. As a result, Jean Grey even refuses to talk to her former professor, and even Magneto calls his old friend out on Scott because his student did what Xavier himself was too afraid to do.

* In ''Fanfic/APrizeForThreeEmpires'', ComicBook/CarolDanvers calls the Avengers out on letting her rapist walk away with her.

** Cole, Chloe, Kagami, Aurore and Mireille are all ''furious'' when [[InternalReveal they learn that]] Adrien knew all along that Lila was lying, but [[BetrayalByInaction chose to stand aside and let her turn the others against Marinette]] through MaliciousSlander while insisting that he was 'taking the high road', and that Lila's lies weren't actually hurting anyone.

'''Master Fu''': Listen Marinette, we never intended for Chloe to-\\
'''Marinette''': I wasn't talking about Chloe. I partly accept that it was my fault Chloe got her hands on Pollen, and I intended to make it up to her when I can. But the fact still stands that you still chose Max and Kim!\\

'''Marinette''': I had the miraculous for all of ten minutes! Then your teammate trips me and lets some spoiled brat steal the bee miraculous after dumping freezing cold water on me! I just want to know why you decided to give them miraculous. What made them worthy of being heroes when they refused to act like heroes out of costume! I could look past Max having a miraculous. Everyone makes mistakes, heck I could even forgive you, given that you at least seemed nice. But this, giving a miraculous to someone who shoved me in a locker and leaving Pollen with Chloe for so long! Please don't contact me again unless you get Pollen back so I can apologize to her.

* Throughout ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/30163344/chapters/74311809 Forged]]'', Chloe repeatedly calls out Ladybug and Marinette for their actions (unaware that they're the same person).
** The big sticking point is that Ladybug refuses to let Chloe use the Bee Comb after revealing herself as Queen Bee, stating that it's too dangerous to do so, but still calls upon other heroes who were outed. It's bad enough that the author closes several chapters with [[TheRant a note]] reminding readers that [[UnreliableNarrator Chloe is looking at it from a skewed perspective]], assuming malice rather than honest mistakes.
** Ironically enough, one of Marinette's worst mistakes is telling Chloe to make up with her mother. Chloe took her advice to heart, seeing it as a FriendshipMoment. However, when Ivan learns about this, he informs Marinette that she basically sent a victim back to their abuser. Marinette had no idea just ''how bad'' Audrey was, while Chloe has [[ConditionedToAcceptHorror never known anything different]], so neither realized what was wrong.

** Later, Aurore is disgusted when Adrien tries to prevent her from intervening when [[AlphaBitch Chloe]] has cornered Marinette and is [[BreakingSpeech really laying into her]]. Why? Because he's more concerned about how Chloe might react to being stopped than the way she's hurting Marinette, claiming that [[BecauseYouCanCope Marinette can take being hurt better than Chloe can]]. After Aurore [[TranquilFury gets away from him]] and intervenes, he then attempts to blame ''her'' for the resulting akuma, only for Marinette to call him out on it:
--->'''Adrien:''' Look what you caused, Aurore. The party's ruined because you upset Chloe.\\

** ''The Interview Ruse'': Most of the class rips into Lila after realizing just how much she'd been lying to them, demanding to know if ''anything'' [[WasItAllALie she claimed was real]]. Alya also gets roasted more for ''her'' deliberately withholding the truth. The only ones who don't join in the call-out are Adrien, Nino, Chloe and Sabrina (with the latter two just sitting back to enjoy the show).

* ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/26690158 Miracle Queen Aftermath]]'' sees Chloe's KarmaHoudiniWarranty running out after the events of the Season 3 finale. When Adrien attempts to pressure Marinette into helping despite her ''clear'' discomfort with the idea, Alya and the rest of the class catch him in the act of guilt-tripping and call him out on his SkewedPriorities. It takes a considerable amount of time before they start [[HeelRealization breaking through to him]], as they repeatedly spell out all the ways that Chloe's cruelty has impacted them and demand to know why he considers her to be more important than everyone she's hurt.

** ''All the Laughs We Had in the Past'' sees Chat Noir accuse Ladybug of causing Chloe's akumatization into Miracle Queen by stripping her of the Bee. Ladybug retorts by calling him out in turn:

'''Ladybug:''' Do you honestly think that would have made a difference? Do you know how many acts of kindness and second chances have been in vain when getting through to Chloe? ''All'' of them. Every single one of them. How many second chances would it take for you to realize that?\\

'''Taureau Furieux:''' Then don't come back. You know, [[BrokenPedestal we used to look up to you]], but the fact that you're willing to defend ''Chloe'' to prove a point is disgusting.\\
'''Tigresse Raye:''' Chloe has hurt too many people, even after she became Queen Bee. The 'hurt' she suffered from is only a fraction compared to everyone else.\\

'''Chat Noir:''' ''(turns his back on them with a flippant wave)'' I'll just talk to Chloe myself. Make things easier that way. Later.

** During the third chapter, Ethan gets one from Cerberus agent Lynch when he appears at the scene to find what is essentially a failed mission, with Liara and Feron captured and Shepard’s body still with Tazzik. Earlier in the chapter, when Ethan attempts to bargain for information by taking a Centurion hostage, the other Blue Suns call him out on the unprovoked killing he has done before. Ethan rebukes this, calling them out on their MoralMyopia.

** Hop Pop furiously tells off Anne and Frank for their ingratitude towards him.

* In ''Fanfic/{{Unmade}}'', after being [[LockedInAFreezer locked in a Company cell]] [[StockholmSyndrome with Sylar]] for an indefinite amount of time, Peter comes to agree that when they get out of here, Sylar can slice up Adam ([[PayEvilUntoEvil who "deserves it"]]) for his regeneration power instead of Claire (his "innocent" niece). Sylar calls him on it: "It's bloodthirsty... for someone like you."

* The ''Franchise/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.

* ''Fanfic/PeterParkerNeedsAHug'': Batman ends up giving Spider-Man one of these when he learns that the teen is skipping meals to afford the supplies for his web fluid. He tears into him for not asking for help if his situation was that bad, and telling him all of the reasons why someone with his superhuman metabolism shouldn't be skipping meals. The lecture is enough to finally convince Peter to take Bruce's offer to move into Wayne Manor.

* ''Fanfic/{{Spider-Ninja}}'': [[AngerBornOfWorry Leo]] is not happy with Petra when she reveals that she snuck into [=OsCorp=] and got bitten by a spider that gave her superpowers. He gives her this trope both for sneaking into the lab and for not telling them about the spider bite sooner. Raph then gives ''him'' this trope, reminding him that Pet didn't tell them anything because she's spent an entire day fighting a high fever, and basically telling him to back off.

* In ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11114325/1/The-Measure-of-a-Man The Measure of a Man]]'', Peter 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/APrizeForThreeEmpires'', ComicBook/CarolDanvers calls the Avengers out on letting her rapist walk away with her.
-->And she told the Avengers what had really happened to her, leaving out only the elder Immortus's part in bringing her back to Earth.\\
About that incident, she was having less and less problems connecting it to what she felt.\\
"I never wanted to see you--any of you--again," said Carol. "I hated you. Because when I needed you most, you betrayed me."\\
She told them of what she had felt when they made their jokes. She told them of what she had felt, or hadn't felt, when they didn't question a thing that Marcus had told them, just letting her go with a smile and a wave.\\
"That was your mistake," she said. "For which I paid the price. My mistake was trusting you."

* In ''Fanfic/PadawansReturn'', when Ahsoka Tano finds herself sent back from the time of the Empire to the time of ''Film/ThePhantomMenace'', she has a confrontation with the still-Jedi Dooku where he admits his plans to explore the power of the Dark Side and asks Ahsoka to join him, believing that she would sympathise with his goal. Ahsoka makes it clear to the still-Jedi Dooku that his belief that he could use the Dark Side like a tool is foolish at best and stupid at worst, mentioning her own experience with his future self (while not naming any names) to make it clear that if he attempted something like that he would just get himself killed while accomplishing nothing.

* In ''Website/FamilyGuyFanon'''s rewrite of "Love Thy Trophy/[[AdaptationTitleChange Love Your Trophy]]" has Lois scold Meg for using Stewie for tips and getting him taken away by Child Services.

* ''Fanfic/PeterParkerNeedsAHug'': Batman ends up giving Spider-Man one of these when he learns that the teen is skipping meals to afford the supplies for his web fluid. He tears into him for not asking for help if his situation was that bad, and the lecture is apparantely enough to convince Peter to take Bruce Wayne's offer to move into Wayne Manor.

[[AC:''VideoGame/StarWarsTheOldRepublic'']]

--->'''Saki Yoshida Mother''': "Saki, please! I wish I knew the truth earlier. I would've never kicked you out, dear."
--->'''Saki Yoshida''': Saki shook her head, holding back tears. "You... You left me when I needed you the most. I always came to you whenever I was sad. And... I trusted you. I'm glad that you know now, but... I can't. Not in front of Hana."

* ''Fanfic/FeralnetteAUBigFatBreak'':

* 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 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 Shego asks if Kim thinks Ron was genuinely "happier" as Zorpox.

* In ''Fanfic/FamilyGuyFanon'''s rewrite of "Love Thy Trophy/[[AdaptationTitleChange Love Your Trophy]]" has Lois scolds Meg for using Stewie for tips and getting him taken away by Child Services.

* In ''Fanfic/AvengersInfiniteWars'', Steve Rogers basically ends up giving one to the Jedi when he reveals that he is uncomfortable with the Order 'recruiting' young children, which the other Avengers agree with after he tells them about his discoveries, although Master T'ra Saa attempts to give Steve a better understanding of the Jedis' motives.

** [=McGonagall=] gives an especially [[UnstoppableRage vicious]] TheReasonYouSuchSpeech variant to Snape for his petty JerkAss behavior, taking his grudge against James Potter (which he still refuses to let go of over a decade after the man's death) out on his innocent son Harry (who had never done anything wrong to him personally), and for his unprofessional behavior as a teacher (particularly his blatant favoritism of the Slytherins).
