** Also happens a bit with Jenny as well. The best example is the ChristmasEpisode, where she's kidnapped by [[MarionetteMaster Todd Sweeney]], a child who seeks revenge against all holidays (and who himself is a woobie, because it's due to parental neglect); she [[YearOutsideHourInside wakes up a year later]] to find that the [[BrokenPedestal entire city has turned against her - including her own mother]] - because of [[WhatTheHellHero things she did]] [[PeoplePuppet against her will]]. The only one willing to support her against Todd? [[YouAreNotAlone Sheldon]]. [[spoiler: [[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments And Jenny is sure to reward him in the end.]]]] What's probably worse is in "Escape from Cluster Prime" where ''everyone'' in Tremorton gangs up on her for destroying the town on the anniversary of its founding after she fails to save it, [[HorribleJudgeOfCharacter saying they'd be better off without her "troublemaking"]] [[WhatAnIdiot all while blatantly disregarding the fact that she's the only actual superhero they have available]], which understandably makes her very bitter. This later bites everyone in the ass in an oh so glorious fashion: the Cluster invades and Jenny goes missing, and [[OhCrap everyone suddenly finds they could use Jenny's help around this time]]. [[spoiler: Jenny eventually returns in time to stop the invasion and gets the appreciation she deserves, despite there being more collateral damage]].

What An Idiot is now flamebait


* WhatAnIdiot: In the episode "Ball and Chain" Brad finds himself being abducted by the Space Bikers, much to his surprise it turns out Tammy intends to marry him. While the other Space Bikers are preparing for the wedding, Brad is left in Tammy's custody with no obvious way to escape.\\
'''You'd Expect:''' Since ValuesDissonance is a high risk in weddings, Brad would spend his time in captivity getting to know the customs of Space Bikers and social structure. Sure Tammy would love to tell her husband-to-be all about how she planned for them to live together? Or he could turn to Lenny, the only male member available who for some reason is TheChewToy. By doing so he'll learn that; 1: Space Bikers live in a strict matriarchy where AllWomenAreDomsAllMenAreSubs and 2: If the groom divorces the bride eats him. Knowing this he'd look for any loophole, a taboo, anything that can render a Space Biker wedding null and void.\\
'''Instead:''' Brad does nothing productive while in captivity and ends up saying "Yes" at the altar. He only catches on after he had put a ring on her only to be treated like a pet. And then dumps her at the altar.\\
'''The result:''' Jenny has to rescue him during a fight after Tammy tries to eat him. Afterwards Tammy coldly rejects having anything to do with him.\\
'''In his defence:''' It's not like he had much of a chance to escape on his own anyway and at least he didn't make the situation worse.

* RainbowLens: Jenny's struggle with trying to be like human girls is often cited as being analogous to TransTribulations. For example, the series opens with Jenny reminding her "mom" to call her by her preferred name, she often shows discomfort with her body, and episodes which center around her wearing a suit which makes her look more human come across as an attempt to "pass". Notably, the show's creator [[https://twitter.com/robrenzetti/status/1282770815570735104?lang=en acknowledged this]] on Twitter, saying that while it wasn't his intent, he can definitely see the subtext in hindsight, and is glad the trans community sees themselves in Jenny and can relate to her story.
