History WhatTheHellHero / Fanfic

* [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Twilight Sparkle]], and most likely the viewers, have this reaction when [[AceAttorney Phoenix Wright]] [[spoiler: accuses Fluttershy of murder to buy more time]] in ''FanFic/TurnaboutStorm''.

* ''[[{{Fanfic/AceCombatTheEquestrianWar}} Ace Combat: The Equestrian War]]'' has Firefly ''slapping'' and berating Fluttershy for refusing to fight the griffins in chapter 3. Luckily, by the end, the issue is done with.
-->'''Firefly''': Wake up, you moron! Didn’t you hear what they said?! They planned to kidnap little fillies! Those kinds of actions outright prove how evil they are! And yet, you still think they are ''not''?!
** In chapter 12, Firefly gets such moment from Lightning Bolt, who calls out on her after she yells at Rainbow Dash while she's suffering from a HeroicBSOD. Brief, but powerful:
-->'''Lightning Bolt''': How could you be so harsh toward Rainbow Dash? She’s going through personal hell! We should be helping her... but you keep berating her instead!

* ''FanFic/{{Whispers}}'': Nightmare Moon tries this in the form of an ArmorPiercingQuestion when Celestia is about to seal her with the Elements of Harmony. [[ShutUpHannibal Celestia doesn't buy it.]]

* In ''[[http://www.fimfiction.net/story/53317/No%2C-I-Am-NOT-A-Brony%2C-GET-ME-OUTTA-EQUESTRIA!!! No, I am Not a Brony, GET ME OUTTA EQUESTRIA!!!]]'', TD epically calls out the Mane Six sans Fluttershy for how they've treated him over the last couple of days: Pinkie punished him for breaking a Pinkie Promise - ''after'' he'd apologised - by setting him on (harmless) fire; Rarity cast a freezing spell on him to keep him from running out of the boutique when he thought she was going to make him something ridiculous - then used him as a mannequin - rather than simply explain that she would show him her deisgns and get his approval before making anything; and Twilight, Applejack and Rainbow Dash attempted to beat the crap out of him less than an hour after he'd woken up in hospital - admittedly, he had just punched Celestia in the face for accidentally bringing him here, but as he points out, their actions were completely [[DisproportionateRetribution disproportionate]] to any damage he could have done to an immortal sun goddess.
** History repeats itself in Chapter 13, when Celestia informs him that she has no way of sending him home, despite her best efforts. While he tries to restrain his anger, a confrontation with the Princesses and Blueblood in the middle of the Gala gets out of control and ends with Celestia getting punched again and Luna snapping TD's spine in retaliation. After Celestia heals him, he silently returns to his house in Ponyville. When the Princesses show up the following morning, he rejects their offer of help and angrily calls out Luna on her actions:
-->'''TD''': Thanks for the game of ‘head on a stick’ with me and the back of that chair. I always wanted to know how it feels to be a quadriplegic.
-->'''Luna''': We... We are sorry for what We did to thee. Our reaction was disproportionate.
-->'''TD''': You think? What's with you ponies and thinking Celestia needs protecting from me anyway? If whatever I do is unwarranted, then she can execute me herself.
* In the ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' AlternateUniverseFic, ''FanFic/RainboomsAndRoyalty'', in which [[BetterThanItSounds Rainbow is Celestia's personal student]] [[ItMakesSenseInContext instead of Twilight]], Rainbow directs this towards Princess Celestia after she and the rest of the Mane Cast defeat Nightmare Moon. She is enraged to discover how Celestia manipulated her and her friends behind the scenes since their foalhood in her plan to redeem her sister. Interestingly, she's not upset about being used, she's upset that Celestia did not trust her enough to be forthright about her intentions, because she would have [[UndyingLoyalty gladly aided Celestia]]. She's also incensed that Celestia was willing to risk her and her friends to redeem Luna, rather than confronting Luna herself, and, if necessary, fighting her. She says that she still loves Celestia, but she cannot forgive her yet. Fortunately, after both the princess and Rainbow have a chance to talk with other ponies, they reconcile quickly.

* In ''Legacy of the Rasengan: Naruto'', Naruto walks into his apartment and finds out that his stash of personally created jutsu scrolls has been recently stolen by Sakura. He IMMEDIATELY goes hunting for her and finds her trying to read his scrolls. He first gets his TranquilFury on, getting the scrolls back from her without saying a word. Then he takes a deep breath and [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech makes her feel about 1 millimeter tall]] calling her out for holding the IdiotBall( for stealing something personal from a friend).

* Hayate attempts to pull this on Takashi in ''[[FanFic/DevaSeries Academy Blues]]'' for [[spoiler:killing all the Lords of the Circles]], but rescinds it once she realises [[MoralEventHorizon what the "victims" were planning on doing to her and hers]].
** [[spoiler:Natalia's grandmother gives her one for her betrayal.]]
* Littlefoot of ''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4044080/1/Land_Before_Time_Twilight_Valley Twilight Valley]]'' gets called out by Pterano for assaulting Ms. Maia who is the leader of a a guard division. [[spoiler: Ms. Maia later turns traitor]].
* ''TransformersVictory:'' Leozack, of all characters, complains to Victory Leo when he's willing to leave Holi and Jean for dead.
* In the fanfic [[FanFic/ThingsWeDontTellHumans Things We Don't Tell Humans]], Sentinel Prime seems to collect these as a hobby.
** He [[ResurrectedForAJob resurrects a friend for a job]] and fails to realize the friend is suicidal after the job is over. Ratchet and the friend’s young son call him out on it.
** He doesn’t reveal that he’s become a NayTheist (he’s supposed to be a PriestKing) until the revelation almost derails the crowning of the next Prime. Ratchet and the young son (now grown up) call him out on that, too.
** He breaks into Optimus Prime’s office and then lies about having called ahead when he accidentally interrupts a private moment between Optimus and Elita-One. Elita, Optimus, and Megatron all call him out on that.

* In ''FanFic/{{An Entry with a Bang}}!'', public opinion turns against the anti-mercenary protestors after they injure one of the child dependents of the Buron Cavalry.
* In the ''{{Firefly}}'' fic ''Fanfic/{{Forward}}'', the crew calls Mal when he [[spoiler: spaces one of Niska's captured henchmen]]. A couple of story arcs later, Mal again gets called for [[spoiler: refusing to support Book's plan to save Simon's life by taking him onto an Alliance ship and using Book's ID card.]] And of course, Mal calls ''himself'' on [[TheChainsOfCommanding nearly every other decision he's made.]]

* In the ''SonicTheHedgehog'' and ''SailorMoon'' crossover [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4167708/1/Chaos_Infinity ChaosInfinity]] the Sailor Scouts force Sonic and his friends to fight them after they accuse them of the mess going on in Tokyo. (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:
-->'''Sonic:''' Ya know, when I first met these girls, the Sailor Scouts, I thought for sure that there were humans out there that weren't as vile and disgusting as Eggman… [[NotSoDifferent but I guess I was wrong for once]].
* In ''Team8'', Kurenai calls Hinata out on pushing herself as far as she did against Neji, which almost resulted in her death and upset Naruto to the point where he nearly forfeited his own match by being unwilling to leave her side, suggesting that she had no regard for her safety or her friends' feelings when she did so.
* In the ''MassEffect'' self-insert ''FanFic/MassVexations'', AuthorAvatar Art gets chewed out by Shepard for [[spoiler:purposefully splitting a salarian STG unit on Virmire, thus forcing Shepard to make a choice between him and Ashley and nearly getting the salarian unit killed. And that's not including how he gets yelled at for insubordination.]]
** And then, this trope pretty much kicks Art's ass all over the place in the sequel. Let's just say creating a ConvenientlyUnverifiableCoverStory and then hiding the truth from Commander Shepard was ''not'' one of his better ideas.

* In the Franchise/YuGiOh fanfic ''Fanfic/YuGiOhForever'', Yugo (the main character and the son of Yugi) gets called out on three separate occasions by different characters:
** The first time, one of his FiveManBand snaps at him for behaving like a JerkAss toward their mutual friend and for attacking her during their duel, in such a way as to potentially cause her injury (which Yugo did because she inadvertently [[BerserkButton pushed a sensitive button for him]]).
** The second time, he goes off to Egypt to face the arc's villains alone in order to [[ItsNotYouItsMyEnemies protect his friends from being killed by them]]. His chief [[TheRival rival]] is ''not'' pleased, and follows Yugo to Egypt to [[PunchedAcrossTheRoom punch him in the face]] and yell at him for not trusting more in his friends' ability to aid him.
** The third time, during the story's final arc, most of the adult supporting cast verbally rips him for [[spoiler:making a [[DealWithTheDevil two-edged deal]] with the BigBad in order to save [[TheRival the aforementioned and now-brainwashed rival]], a deal that could end in either Yugo's own death or the deaths of thousands of innocent people]].
* In ''FanFic/TheLegendOfSpyroANewDawn'', ''[[PluckyComicRelief Sparx]]'' of all people calls Cyril out on him saying that rescuing the kidnapped eggs wasn't worth putting the rest at risk by dividing their forces...right in front of Cynder who was in a HeroicBSOD over the fact her adopted egg was among them.
* In ''PokeWars: The Subsistence'', Tracy gets yelled at by the entire cast after he tries to assault Jessie, James and Meowth after their HeelFaceTurn.
* In Fanfic/WhiteDevilOfTheMoon, Mars, Jupiter, Luna and Tuxedo Mask get called out by their teammates for attacking Fate after mistaking her for a Dark Senshi. The group is trying to reach out to Nanoha and recruit her to win the war against the Dark Kingdom, but as the other Senshi point out, attacking Fate makes it more difficult for Nanoha to trust them. Hayate points out that she could charge them with assaulting an officer, but decides to offer them the [[BoxedCrook same treatment]] given to other [[TheAtoner repentant]] [[HeelFaceTurn former villains]].

* In ''Fanfic/WithStringsAttached'', the four (specifically George) decide to abandon Jim Hunter to his mind-sucking {{BFS}} because they don't want to risk their lives trying to get it away from him. They feel guilty, but they do it anyway. Luckily for both him and them, the ruthless ploy results in Jim's being able to release the sword, so he thinks it was just a brilliant maneuver on George's part. No one is in any hurry to tell him differently.
** Also, they refuse to rescue or even contact Lyndess after they deliver the Vasyn, pretty much saying that she can go fuck herself... despite her having saved their lives at the end of the First Movement.
* The dwarven noble gets some of these in DragonAgeTheCrownOfThorns. One of them leaves him with broken ribs and a snapped jaw. He expected it and let it happen, but it still hurt because healing magic didn't work on him until recently. And even now it's not a given.
* [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Twilight Sparkle]], and most likely the viewers, have this reaction when [[AceAttorney Phoenix Wright]] [[spoiler: accuses Fluttershy of murder to buy more time]] in ''FanFic/TurnaboutStorm''.
* While [[AntiHero L]] has elicted a few of these reactions from other characters in the ''[[Manga/DeathNote Death Note]]'' canon, in another fanfic, ''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5590180/27/Story_Of_The_Century Story of the Century]]'', the [[OriginalCharacter Original Character insert]] and FirstPersonPeripheralNarrator, [[BreakTheCutie Erin,]] delivers a particularly long, nasty and tearful [[WhatTheHellHero "What the hell?" speech]] near the end of the story that doubles as a [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech "This is why you suck" speech]], after [[spoiler: [[AlasPoorVillain Light]], [[LoveMartyr Rem]] and [[CoolOldGuy Wat]][[ParentalSubstitute ari]] die, and L, among other transgressions, [[ShooTheDog insists on being left alone]] [[DyingAlone to die,]] [[HeroicSacrifice having written his own name in the notebook prior,]] which helped to precipitate the three aforementioned deaths. You would think that being L, he would try to [[IDidWhatIHadToDo justify the actions he took,]] but [[BreakTheHaughty not this time.]] His response could [[TearJerker prick a few readers' eyelids.]] ]]
* In {{Fanfic/Reconciliation}} it is revealed that Lilly was angry with Hisao for disregarding her advice about Hanako, checking on her when she didn't want to see anyone, [[spoiler:triggering the Bad Ending (in which Hanako angrily decclares that she hates Hisao and Lilly)]] and leading to Hanako distancing herself from Hisao and Lilly for eight years out of guilt. Averted when Hanako expects to receive a response like this from Lilly, but does not.

* 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 find out by the resemblance.]]

* ''FanFic/ACureForLove'': Mello and Near to L when they discover [[DatingCatwoman the nature of L and Kira's relationship.]]

* In ''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5769940/1/Feverish Feverish]]'', [[AxisPowersHetalia America]] calls out England on forgetting who a very ill Canada is. England gets his chance later, when America [[spoiler:storms the Canadian embassy and attacks several employees, without considering the consequences of his actions.]] And England, America, and France call ''themselves'' out constantly on overlooking symptoms of Canada's increasingly-dangerous sickness.

* In the ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' AlternateUniverseFic, ''FanFic/RainboomsAndRoyalty'', in which [[BetterThanItSounds Rainbow is Celestia's personal student]] [[ItMakesSenseInContext instead of Twilight]], Rainbow directs this towards Princess Celestia after she and the rest of the Mane Cast defeat Nightmare Moon. She is enraged to discover how Celestia manipulated her and her friends behind the scenes since their foalhood in her plan to redeem her sister. Interestingly, she's not upset about being used, she's upset that Celestia did not trust her enough to be forthright about her intentions, because she would have [[UndyingLoyalty gladly aided Celestia]]. She's also incensed that Celestia was willing to risk her and her friends to redeem Luna, rather than confronting Luna herself, and, if necessary, banishing her again. She says that she still loves Celestia, but she cannot forgive her yet. Fortunately, after both the princess and Rainbow have a chance to talk with other ponies, they reconcile quickly.
