14	* ''[[Webcomic/EightBitTheater 8-Bit Theater]]'':
15	** During her temporary FaceHeelTurn, White Mage said she would not date Black Mage, even though she was evil.
16	---> '''White Mage''': I may be coming to terms with the idea that I'm locked into a lifetime of spreading pain and death across the world, but I still have ''some'' standards.
17	** Garland also does this in the beginning, when Princess Sara suggests torturing the heroes of light by forcing them to listen to Cher.
18	** It's a little jarring to realize that [[OmnicidalManiac Black Mage]], of all people, is the one out of the heroes who is most commonly freaked out by the stuff his companions, most notably Red Mage, pull off.
19	*** That's because the stuff the others, and ''especially'' Red Mage, do are [[InsaneTrollLogic crimes]] [[LogicBomb against]] [[RealityBreakingParadox logic]].
20	** Black Mage also manages this after he [[http://www.nuklearpower.com/2004/03/20/episode-397-portents/ usurps the throne of Hell.]] Fighter naturally assumes that he went to Heaven instead.
21	---> '''Black Mage''': Even though I am the incarnation of all mortal evils, I just don't have the heart.
22	** Towards the end of the series, when they discover that even though they've grown incredibly strong throughout their journeys, Sarda flat out tells them that they'll never be a match for him, and he was still going to render their efforts nil out of spite.
23	--->'''Black Mage''': That's ''messed up'', Sarda.
24	** Thief states that Black Mage has hit a new low when he hears [[SlippingAMickey his plan]] to get into White Mage's robes after she [[spoiler:temporarily turns "evil"]] involving what he ''thinks'' is alcohol but may be paint thinner. When the other Light Warriors point out that it'll likely kill White Mage, Black Mage simply responds that [[ILoveTheDead the corpse will still be warm for a little while]].
25	---> '''Thief''': [[SickAndWrong That... may be the worst thing you've ever said.]]
26	** The random encounter monsters are horrified when Black Mage asks if they plan to eat them.
27	--->'''Random Monster:''' That's disgusting! We may be monsters, but we're not monsters about it!
28	** Black Mage's reaction when Thief hatches a plan to charge everyone in the world extortionate fees for the ''weather'' [[http://www.nuklearpower.com/2008/01/29/episode-948-like-new-coke/ here]]:
29	--->'''Black Mage:''' That's...hold on. ''(sets Red Mage on fire again)'' That's really sick, Thief.
30	** Red Mage, an XP-obsessed {{munchkin}} who has learned a spell capable of destroying the entire universe and is only marginally more ethical than Black Mage, refuses to record how to cast [[KamehameHadoken Hadouken]] upon learning that it suctions some of the love out of the universe with every cast.
31	** It turns out, when it looks like Thief is leaving the party, that his influence has actually worked to keep the party at least vaguely on-target and slightly less randomly destructive than they otherwise might have been.
32	--->'''Red Mage:''' I can't believe ''Thief'' was the moral compass that kept us from becoming a pack of roving murderers.
33	* Axel of ''Webcomic/AnsemRetort'' is a homicidal evil Buddhist god that can kill you with freaking sweet mind bullets (and in the ''very first comic'' torched an orphanage). Yet he yells "WHAT?" at the idea that he'd abuse his wife, Aerith. He's also shown to be disturbed by Larxene carrying around a human skull, [[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil and tells Hercules he's disgusted by him when Hercules suggests raping Larxene while she's passed out.]]
34	** Zexion is a governor that invaded New Jersey, stole tax dollars just to prove he could, and would rather spend the state budget on blowjobs and Doritoes...but he really hates racist pancakes. ItMakesSenseInContext.
35	* Captain Snow from ''Webcomic/{{Archipelago}}'' loves tea, and once berated his crew for trying to burn down a tea house... While the rest of the town and its slaughtered residents were burning around it.
36	* Though Zuurith from ''Webcomic/{{Aurora\|2019}}'' is ruthless when it comes to enforcing the laws of his city, he was never a fan of the arena prisoners fight in to amuse the citizens. He also considers his rival Vash an equal and initially refuses to have his vessel Kendal fight in the arena.
37	* In the ''Webcomic/TheBeastLegion'', the shadow Nexus's second in command, Stampede, is ruthless when it comes to battle but carries a great sense of honor & loyalty unlike his master.
38	* In the commentary for one of ''Webcomic/BobAndGeorge'''s Helmeted Author quips, Dave explains (half-quoting [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking another trope]] in the process) that Helmut is [[http://www.bobandgeorge.com/archives/020621c a murderer and an arsonist, but not a pedophile]].
39	* During the YetAnotherChristmasCarol arc of ''Webcomic/BrawlInTheFamily'', as Mario saves Peach, he asks if she's fine and she says that Bowser never laid a hand on her. Bowser chimes in, "Well, I'm not a monster."
40	* ''Webcomic/BrunoTheBandit'':
41	** Numth'kul drew the line at [[http://www.brunothebandit.com/d/19991124.html certain professions]].
42	** Emperor Goldang felt that [[http://www.brunothebandit.com/d/20041001.html being given a mullet]] was cruel and unusual punishment.
43	** Bruno believed that being a drug dealer was the [[http://www.brunothebandit.com/d/20090720.html worst crime in existence]].
44	* In ''Webcomic/CaptainSNES'', [[http://www.captainsnes.com/2002/09/28/201-blue-dragon-part-10-dragons-end-2/ Even Kainazzo was disturbed]] by Cid's daughter's story about how her father got her mother to marry him.
45	** Similarly, Magus is surprised to find out that Max Force's slaughter of the innocent Mushroom retainers offends him.
46	%%* [[http://choppingblock.keenspot.com/d/20020815.html This]] ''Webcomic/ChoppingBlock'' comic.
47	* ''WebComic/TheCyantianChronicles'' features [[http://cyantian.net/blog/2011/10/17/10172011/#comments Filaire]], a gold fox who works for a wolf who is apparently a cannibal.
48	** He's proposed roasting a sentient rabbit if she doesn't meet with his expectations. Definitely '''NOT''' a case of [[InvertedTrope inverted]] CarnivoreConfusion.
49	** But it's a subversion, as Filaire decides she will "eat rabbit" if it means vengeance on the current fox king, as seen a few strips beyond the link above.
50	** Played straight in the fact that [[http://cyantian.net/blog/2011/10/19/10192011/ Filaire will not sleep with Rama.]]
51	* ''Webcomic/DanAndMabsFurryAdventures'' has Kria, a cannibalistic demon with no qualms about the wanton slaughter of innocent people as a method of stress relief, [[http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_1555.php take umbrage with her brother's plans to raise zombie babies.]]
52	* In ''Webcomic/DarthsAndDroids'' [[http://www.darthsanddroids.net/episodes/0774.html #774]], Vader blows up Naboo with the Peace Moon (translation: Alderaan with Death Star). Everyone else stares in stunned silence, but it is R2-D2, the group's [[TokenEvilTeammate Token Selfish Jerk Teammate]], who responds with:
53	--> [[PunctuatedForEmphasis "You. Utter. Frakking. Bastard."]]
54	* ''Webcomic/DominicDeegan'':
55	** Arcangelo Scarlatti has a brief moment [[http://www.dominic-deegan.com/view.php?date=2005-09-02 here.]]
56	** Earlier in the comic, [[StrawMisogynist Stunt]] [[http://www.dominic-deegan.com/view.php?date=2004-02-27 gets one too.]]
57	** During the Storm of Souls arc, Celesto Morgan refused to ally with the Chosen, considering their wanton destruction too much for his tastes. He only agrees to help get revenge on Dominic.
58	* ''Webcomic/ElfAndWarrior'': Gilly is an AxeCrazy criminal who hates everyone and especially the pampered life she left behind, but even she is horrified when she finds out that [[spoiler:Gillbert murdered her parents in a misguided attempt to "free" her]].
59	* ''Webcomic/ElGoonishShive'':
60	** [[strike:Even pitch-black evil guy]] [[http://www.egscomics.com/?date=2009-11-11 Even Magus]] [[spoiler:won't help Chaos ruin Verres to just to kill Abraham just to punish Raven for being a disobedient son.]]
61	** Even Pandora [[http://egscomics.com/egsnp/2016-08-15 is disgusted at the thought of giving ]] Rich and Larry spells to turn into girls they would find attractive.
62	** Also, during ''Painted Black'', Hedge did everything in his power ''not'' to bring women back to Damien, knowing that he only wanted them for breeding and [[RapeAsDrama didn't give a damn about their consent]]. Once Damien was no longer around to control them, all of Grace's brothers surrendered without a fight.
63	** More along the lines of "Even JerkAss has Standards" with [[JerkJock Tony]]: Quick Synopsis: Tony and Elliot were friends in third grade, but they grew apart. In high school, after [[ItMakesSenseInContext Sarah breaks up with Elliot in an online movie review]], Tony's [[TokenMinority black friend]] ([[NoNameGiven currently only known by the screen name "Ronin"]]) starts an online rumor that Elliot is gay, due to the fact that Elliot is still friends with Sarah after the break-up. After Elliot starts dating Ashley, [[http://www.egscomics.com/index.php?id=1813 "Ronin" confronts Tony about this]]:
64	---> '''"Ronin":''' Hey Tony! I think Elliot Dunkel's got a date with a '''girl'''!\
65	'''Tony:''' I told you he was straight.\
66	'''"Ronin":''' ''You'' told me he was '''''gay'''''!\
67	'''Tony:''' Man, when do I ''ever'' call someone gay who's '''''actually gay'''''? Honestly.
68	* ''Webcomic/EverydayHeroes'': Goldie may be a villain now, but at least she's [[http://eheroes.thecomicseries.com/comics/83/ not working for the IRS]].
69	* Sam Starfall in ''Webcomic/{{Freefall}}'' may be a freelance agent of chaos who has been known to steal robots' fingers when they shake hands with him, but he also believes that stealing from a partner is dishonorable -- ''employees'', fine, but partners? Never! He also expresses disdain in a DoWrongRight kind of way towards a plan to lobotomise all the robots and steal their money; you need to leave people alive so you can steal from them again later!
70	* In ''Webcomic/FullFrontalNerdity'' the players' characters open a restaurant serving the remains of the monsters they slay as "gourmet". But when they swipe some dragon eggs to make dragon "veal" the monster bones that were used as construction materials for their restaurant spontaneously reanimate and take the eggs back.
71	* ''Webcomic/GenocideMan'': Joey is a [[BloodKnight sociopathic, fight-crazed]] [[EvilOldFolks old man]] of a SuperSoldier, who gleefully takes on his assignments as one of the titular genocide men. However, when [[spoiler:asked to vote on whether to release a bioengineered plague that would supposedly hamper humanity's violent, sociopathic or just generally harmful tendencies, he vehemently refuses, reasoning that would be "taking the teeth out of the human race, ensuring [[HumansAreWarriors scrappers like me are never born again]]". Lampshaded by the Genocide Men's boss, who mutters she wasn't expecting such a refusal]].
72	* ''Webcomic/GirlGenius'':
73	** [[DarkActionGirl Bangladesh Dupree]] comes across as an AxCrazy homicidal sociopath. However, she ''hates'' mind control with a passion, as she feels killing people forced to fight sucks the fun out of it, on top of other things. Kill someone? No problem! Destroy whole towns and cities? Sounds like fun! But [[BerserkButton no mind control]] around her, not if you like living!
74	** She also apparently detests being lied to...enough to even scare [[spoiler: Gil]].
75	** Even the Heterodynes of old, epitomes of the Spark in both power and madness, weren't insane or reckless enough to [[TimeStandsStill mess with time]] more than once. [[GeniusLoci The Castle itself]] remarks on this, and despite its insatiable taste for chaos and carnage approves of this precaution. [[spoiler:He even briefly calls out Baron Wulfenbach (not that he could listen) for surpassing them in recklessness, by way of triggering a Timestop with no actual way of restarting time, [[ClockRoaches with the consequences that brings]]]].
76	** The [[SuperSoldier Jägermonsters]] share Bangladesh Dupree's attitude towards mind control. They may be sociopaths with a love of RapePillageAndBurn, but when someone suggests that they might come under control of the Other, they emphasize that they took the [[SuperSerum Jägerdraught]] of their own free will, and serve the Heterodynes out of loyalty, not out of compulsion. While there are many things [[BloodKnight they like to fight]], the Other's creations they like to ''kill''.
77	* Vehemence, in ''Webcomic/GrrlPower'', gets physically stronger the more aggression happens around him (kinda like when the Hulk gets angrier), and he likes to fight, so he'll start fights for fun. However, there is a limit; Vehemence is fine with planning fan brawls at Brazilian soccer games, but not starting wars. After all, people can die, [[PragmaticVillainy which means they can't get involved in any later fights]]...[[note]]During his first major on-screen appearance, he ended up stating he might have to kill Maxima, breaking that 'rule', since his aggression-boosting aura made her "too violent" for ''him''. Even though he had started the fight, it almost became self defence, since she had blown an arm off, and caused both of his eyes to be shot at with high-caliber rifle rounds. Even Sydney thought that eventually Max could have tried to kill him (she used it as part of an effort to get Vehemence to surrender).[[/note]]
78	* Minmax in ''Webcomic/{{Goblins}}'' may be a [[FantasticRacism Fantastic Racist]] who struggles to comprehend the idea that monsters exist for reasons other than to be slaughtered by adventurers, but when he learns that Dellyn [[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil rapes and beats his Yuan-Ti slave]], his attitude shifts from hero worship to revulsion almost immediately. To put this in context, Minmax refers to Kin (the Yuan-Ti in question) as "[[ItIsDehumanizing it]]," and had just persuaded Dellyn, a higher-level character and professional goblin-hunter, to join him on his quest to kill goblins. And all that still goes out the window ([[DestinationDefenestration along with Dellyn]]) the second Minmax learns the depths of his depravity.
79	* [[Webcomic/HeadTrip Shinga]] gleefully makes jokes about selling coat hangers to pregnant women, but feels [[http://headtripcomics.comicgenesis.com/d/20071212.html that her soul is being ripped out by making her characters be in Reality TV.]]
80	** In probably the most literal example of this, Mal was consistently visited by demons trying to take her to hell for being evil, but when she started to attack those who butcher the English language, Satan told his minion to leave her be; this is a justified attack.
81	** In a recent state, Mal ends up doing shots with her friends while watching Disney movies and ends up conquering Disneyworld with the help of costumes granting superpowers and offering the employees dental coverage. Her intoxicated conquering self is perfectly accepting of Snow White's ability to control animals, Megara [[LoopholeAbuse using Hades' powers because it's the same movie]], Belle being able to turn people into furniture and use her magic mirror for surveillance, Aurora being able to put anyone into a deep sleep, and Mary Poppins having a [[HammerSpace bag that came in handy for carrying all the weapons]]. But after a demonstration of Alice from Alice in Wonderland's power, she made her sign a contract to never use or [[LetUsNeverSpeakOfThisAgain speak of it again]]. The other ladies only know that it involved [[{{Squick}} Hearts.]]
82	* From ''WebComic/{{Heartcore}}'', we have Amethyst, a demon who sustains herself on corrupted human hearts. Her MO for procuring said hearts is to "Pick someone they won't miss": criminals and ne'er-do-wells, like a group of thugs that [[MuggingTheMonster attempted to take advantage of her while she was disguised as a helpless human girl]].
83	** None of the Overfiends like Slade. None of them! Though not many inhabitants of Asgar have virtuous qualities, at least they don't kill their own allies for fun and curiosity while possessing a sense of sadism that even creeps out the other demons.
84	* The [[AllTrollsAreDifferent Trolls]] of ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'' may be a race almost entirely composed of violent {{Jerkass}}es, but most of them are still disgusted with [[SmugSnake Vriska]]'s ChronicBackstabbingDisorder.
85	** With their BlueAndOrangeMorality, what is evil and what is not can at times be hard to judge. Karkat's [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech explanation as to why she's despised]] seems to call her out more for being StupidEvil than anything, and the fact that her vicious streak could be used to actually do something ''[[PragmaticVillainy productive]]'' rather than just [[KickTheDog punting puppies left and right.]]
86	** Karkat's universe's version of Jack Noir is just as much an AxCrazy PsychoKnifeNut as any other version. But even he thinks that Karkat's angst over his "candy-color blood" is one of the saddest things he's ever seen and becomes Karkat's blood brother out of sympathy.
87	** Jack Noir, the one from the kids' universe, is an OmnicidalManiac who destroyed a [[ApocalypseHow whole universe]] ''just because''. When Lord English [[spoiler:destroys a dream bubble, all of the souls inside, and possibly some of the very fabric of space and time itself in one shot]], all Jack can do is '''stare in shock and ''[[HorrifyingTheHorror fear]]''.'''
88	** Meenah. Alternate universe teenage version of the Condesce. Fangirls over stories of said monster's deeds. Tries to kill Roxy when she first sees her, for no reason except just 'cause. Draws the line at picking on Mituna.
89	*** And her fangasm over the Condesce cracks ''badly'' when she finds out what she did to [[PoweredByAForsakenChild Mituna's]] [[WetwareCPU counterpart]].
90	*** Speaking of the Condesce, even she was seriously freaked out by [[spoiler:Jane's and Jake's Trickster Mode]], having her initial response to them were to not get involved when [[spoiler:Roxy [[LesserOfTwoEvils begged her into throwing her back to prison rather than facing the Tricksters]]]].
91	** Gamzee may be a MonsterClown, but even he thinks [[spoiler:Jane's Trickster Mode]] is really disturbing.
92	** Whilst TheGoldenRule and "if you don't have anything nice to say" may not exactly be a cornerstone of Alternian society, there is still the understanding that cooperation is important -- particularly because it is necessarily trait for battling other teams.
93	** Caliborn may be a psychopath that delights in others' suffering, but even he is terrified of Lil' Cal, and one of the only times he gives actual, heartfelt advice to the main characters is to tell them to get rid of the puppet ''right this instant'', as he believes it's a juju that brings calamity upon anyone near it. [[spoiler:Turns out Lil' Cal is so dangerous because it's essentially Lord English's (Caliborn's future self) SoulJar. When he learns that, his attitude toward Lil' Cal takes a 180 and he becomes gleeful at the suffering it causes.]]
94	* Kolonel Haken in ''Webcomic/IrregularWebcomic'' may be a card-carrying Nazi, but he ''will not'' stand for genocide -- he's an archaeologist, not a mass murderer. [[spoiler:Eventually, he assassinates Hitler by stuffing a very large frog down his throat. Only in one webcomic could you find a sentence like that, folks.]]
95	* ''WebComic/KillSixBillionDemons'': Weirdly invoked in the pre-combat prayer for forgiveness from the gods used by angels, as explained under the comic [[https://killsixbilliondemons.com/comic/king-of-swords-9-124/ King of Swords 9-124]]:
96	--> It is often speculated upon why Concordant Knights start their pre-combat prayer for forgiveness of violence with an attempt to propitiate Aesma, by far the most violent, rampant, and willful of the gods. The answer, as I was told by one particularly old angel who held watch over a decaying section of the king’s road, is extremely simple: if anything was horrendous enough to offend Aesma, it was enough to offend all the other multitudes of gods, thus the prayer is started by opening the largest flood gate of them all, so to speak.
97	* ''WebComic/TheLastDaysOfFOXHOUND'':
98	** Played with during a FourthWallMailSlot when Ocelot, a former war criminal and the poster child for ChronicBackstabbingDisorder, is asked what he would do if he encountered Osama Bin Laden. Ocelot [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness drops character and gets unexpectedly serious]] in responding to the letter, replying that despite how the comic may depict the villains as [[ComedicSociopathy funny]] or [[AntiVillain with]] [[SympatheticPOV sympathy]], the fact is that some people are so entirely and utterly evil that they go against all human decency, to the point that [[EnemyMine even sworn enemies will team up to take them down]]. Therefore, Ocelot says that if he saw Bin Laden, he would immediately shoot and kill him... because otherwise Ocelot is concerned that Bin Laden would try to haul Ocelot in to the U.N. and get him tried for his war crimes.
99	** Otherwise played straight in the main comic where Revolver Ocelot's torture-happy antics make the rest of the unit, even ''Mantis'', thoroughly uncomfortable:
100	---> '''Ocelot:''' Torture is such an ''inelegant'' word. I'm an artist. Their testicles are my canvas.
101	---> '''Mantis:''' Please stop touching me.
102	** And, of course, even ''Ocelot'' is repulsed by the idea of being labeled as a pedophile, even jokingly.
103	---> '''Mantis:''' (Reads his mind) I see you spent last saturday night watching amateur Russian porn. You are a very lonely man.
104	---> '''Ocelot:''' Up yours with an egg beater. Let's go.
105	---> '''Mantis:''' Wait, wait... amateur Russian ''child'' porn.
106	---> '''Ocelot:''' (Being held back by Liquid) Just once! Let me shoot him just once! Look, he'll dodge it anyway! This isn't funny, Mantis! Tell them I don't watch kiddie porn!
107	* The webcomic series, ''[[http://lessonsofdogworld.wordpress.com/ Lessons of Dogworld]]'' [[http://lessonsofdogworld.wordpress.com/2013/08/13/lesson-on-reminder-1/ has this issue]], with one character being scolded by three others, one of them in this issue depicted as a demon, who too is upset about a person being denied help.
108	* Parodied in ''[[http://www.hello-cthulhu.com/?date=2003-12-07 The Misadventures of Hello Cthulhu]]'', where Cthulhu calls Hello Kitty's parents "unspeakable beasts" for producing offspring. Which, if you consider the ExpandedUniverse {{Canon}}, is [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cthylla built on a lie]], making it HypocriticalHumor.
109	** Parodied again [[http://www.hello-cthulhu.com/?date=2003-12-15 not too many strips later]] when Dagon says that even his kind has higher standards than making unholy offspring half-breeds from Sanrio characters.
110	* In ''WebComic/TheNonAdventuresOfWonderella'' Hitlerella, if you couldn't guess from the name, is a literal Nazi and Wonderella's archenemy, but even she thinks it's bullcrap that people have to work on Thanksgiving and is uncomfortable with Wonderella using the word 'retarded'.
111	* ''Webcomic/OnePunchMan'': Garo decides to be a villain to fight strong heroes in order to test himself and see how far his strength and skills will take him. When fighting Superalloy Blackluster, Garo suddenly backs off from Blackluster when Garo had him at his mercy and was about to tear off Blackluster's ears -- Garo suddenly remembers being the victim of some BullyBrutality when he was a little boy, almost having that happen to him, and withdraws from the battle, shaken that he was a hair's breadth from becoming [[HeWhoFightsMonsters just like the boys who picked on him]].
112	* ''Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick''
113	** Parodied by Nale. When Thog recommends using Music/CelineDion's music as a [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0258.html method of torture]], Nale states [[TakeThat he's still civilized]].
114	** Redcloak:
115	*** He states that this is what keeps him from being the monster that his boss is. Xykon, however, sees villains with standards as cowards who can't back up their talk, claiming that he's gotten this far by being TheUnfettered.
116	*** The prequel plays this straight when Redcloak is horrified by his boss's plan to kill and zombify a woman's physical body, then feed the body to ogres while forcing her soul to watch.
117	*** While Redcloak will threaten human citizens to try and get O-Chul to talk, when he is certain that O-Chul knows nothing about the Gates, he lets them live.
118	** Xykon:
119	*** Xykon in the prequel played with the trope, stating outright that he refuses to kidnap virgins... [[PragmaticVillainy because he'd get better mileage out of someone who has been around the block a few times]].
120	*** The prequel also subverts this trope when Xykon initially says that as evil as he is, he can't do something as depraved as become a lich (a form of undead created by evil magic), then he suddenly reveals that he was only joking and has no objection to becoming a lich at all.
121	*** Xykon actually ''does plays the trope straight'' once: when Tsukiko tells him that [[ILoveTheDead she loves the dead]], Xykon is genuinely disgusted, saying that he's "not one of those disgusting biophiliacs".
122	** While he's more of a PunchClockVillain, The Monster in the Dark is a BigEater with no apparent problem considering eating humanoids (but only if ordered to). He won't [[EatsBabies eat babies]], though (including veal), though this is more out of the fact that he doesn't like them and much prefers the stew that he's normally served.
123	** When Vaarsuvius [[spoiler:wipes out a quarter of the black dragon race]], the fiends that gave them that power in the first place are [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0640.html shocked speechless.]] Even moreso because they, unlike V, know that the soul splice isn't actually affecting the elf's morality. When V performs the spell, the [[spoiler: undead dragon mother's head]] is terrified and begs for them to stop. When it is over, she calls V [[YouMonster a monster.]]
124	%%** [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0718.html This is the "Empire of Blood", not the "Empire of Blood All Over Our New Carpets".]]
125	** While Jirix isn't as outspoken about it as Redcloak, he does seem to harbor a distate for Tsukiko and eventually expresses gratitude that she's moving out of the main city. [[spoiler:However, he's actually shocked when Redcloak admits he killed Tsukiko. He gets over it quickly, however.]]
126	** Belkar:
127	*** He was genuinely enraged when [[spoiler:Miko]] killed [[spoiler:Lord Shojo]].
128	---->'''Belkar:''' YOU KILLED [[spoiler:THE WACKY OLD DUDE WITH THE CAT]]?!?!?
129	*** He may be a HeroicComedicSociopath, but even he feels that [[InvoluntaryBattleToTheDeath forcing two best friends to fight each other to the death]] is [[MoralEventHorizon crossing the line]]. This is actually [[spoiler:a sign of a HeelFaceTurn in progress, [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0807.html where Belkar sees Enor and Ganji as himself and Mr. Scruffy.]]]]
130	*** Belkar is generally a source of these, as his evil tends to be on a very personal scale. He implies multiple times that he wouldn't lie to harm the party if there was no humor in it (and indeed, actually has a cleaner track record for lying to the party than several of the good members) and finds everything about [[spoiler: the High Priest of Hel using Durkon's body]] repulsive.
131	%%* Even ''Webcomic/PennyArcade'' [[http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2004/8/16/ has standards.]]
132	* ''Webcomic/QuestionableContent'' does this to a lesser degree. Marigold is willing to guilt-trip her roommate into making out with her. But she is a [[VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft Horde]] woman to the end, [[http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1680 even in real-life.]] Later, however, she lightens up a little and actually starts dating that guy.
133	* ''Webcomic/RWBYDoodleverse'':
134	** "WFH" has Salem and her circle discuss their evil plans over Zoom to avoid contracting COVID.
135	** In "Delay", Salem chides Watts for accidentally cutting off power to Rooster Teeth themselves in Texas, as the strip was made when Texas suffered a major power crisis due to severe winter weather. Salem ends the strip with "We shall delay RWBY and world domination til everyone is safe and taken care of. And then world domination."
136	** In "Vaccination", Cinder agrees to get vaccinated before trying to kill Ruby after being told by Neo.
137	* ''Webcomic/SaturdayMorningBreakfastCereal'':
138	** Who could be so vile an twisted to make an entire auditorium full of super-villains gasp in terror? [[spoiler:[[http://www.smbc-comics.com/index.php?db=comics&id=2936 An economist, of course!]]]]
139	** [[https://www.smbc-comics.com/comic/undead This necromancer]] wants to usher in an epoch of darkness, but he's disgusted that his [[DemBones skeleton minions]] are racist.
140	* ''Webcomic/SchlockMercenary'':
141	** Book 12, Part III has Professor Pau, a scientist who's abducting humans and using their bodies as factories for illegal blood-nannies, a process which [[BodyHorror leaves their bodies hideously bloated, discolored, and covered in blisters]] through which the final product is harvested. But while this is happening, they're kept in [[LotusEaterMachine full-immersion sims that leave them blissfully happy and unaware of their condition.]]
142	--->'''Professor Pau:''' You don't think I'd hang people from the ceiling, bloat them with chemicals, harvest their blistered hides, and then '''leave them miserable,''' do you?\
143	'''Ennesby:''' [[SarcasmMode Sorry. Our bad. We'll get your sainthood application processed right away.]]
144	** Pau later finds out his associate has been sabotaging his research, preventing him from finding out that the process could have been done without human hosts. He's appropriately mortified.
145	** Kowalski, one of the Toughs' recurring enemies and Admiral Emm's personal wetworks specialist. He's someone who has little problem [[GrandTheftMe hijacking bodies of innocent people]] to commit mass murder with, but even he starts to find his admiral's increasingly extreme causes to be unnerving, especially the fact she'd be glad to have more like [[TheSociopath him]]. [[spoiler:This eventually culminates in him just shooting her dead after they've both escaped to untraceable bodies, tired of killing for her causes]].
146	* In SHELTER, Ren is a serial killer who shows glee in murder, and has lost most of his capacity for morals. However, he still finds rapists to be absolutely disgusting, and can't even understand why they enjoy controlling others.
147	-->'''Ren''': Not going to talk? Well then, how does it feel? To submit to your "pet"?! AHAHAHA! Bringing people to their knees, this feeling of "superiority" that delights you and so many others- Is this ...it? ''(pauses, smile replaced by look of disgust)'' ''Is this... REALLY IT?!'' Even as my humanity is withering, ''I still don't get it.'' I've tried over and over, but ''I just don't understand!'' Looking down on someone... toying with another life- ''HOW IS THIS ANY FUN AT ALL?!''
148	* ''Webcomic/{{Shortpacked}}'':
149	** Mike. He may be a JerkAss who has engaged in cruelty that [[CrossesTheLineTwice crosses the line]] seven times, but at least he cops to it. Then he meets the aptly named [[http://www.shortpacked.com/2011/comic/book-13/01-daddy-issues/asshole-2/ Asshole Guy]].
150	---> '''Mike:''' Hey, are you the asshole?\
151	'''Guy:''' Dude, I'm not an asshole. I'm just, you know, what do they call it, anti-social. [[SmugSnake I can't help it]].\
152	'''Mike:''' You diagnosed or something?\
153	'''Guy:''' Diagnosed? Naw, that's gay. I just think I probably have antisocial tendencies or something. I can be pretty mean and irrational sometimes, but whatcha gonna do, really? Smug smirk\
154	(later) '''Amber:''' Is somebody on fire?\
155	'''Mike:''' [[IronicEcho I can't help it. I have antisocial tendencies]].
156	** Speaking of Mike, even he's disgusted by what Amber's abusive dad did to her.
157	* ''Webcomic/SlightlyDamned'': Azurai [[PlayingWithFire the fire demon]] is a violent [[SirSwearsAlot foul-mouthed]] {{Sadist}} with a HairTriggerTemper but he seems disgusted by [[TheQuisling Moonshade's]] complete willingness to [[spoiler:[[OffingTheOffspring murder his own daughter]] without a second thought]].
158	* Likewise, the Dimension of Pain from ''Webcomic/SluggyFreelance'' is a realm populated with horrible demons that thrive on suffering and pain. However, [[http://sluggy.com/daily.php?date=980429 even THEY have limits]]...
159	** This trope is [[http://sluggy.com/daily.php?date=060810 spoofed]] in a much later stick figure filler week.
160	** And [[http://www.sluggy.com/daily.php?date=050815 again]] when two demons are talking and one makes an off-color joke.
161	--->'''Chilus:''' You know humans! They're a bit late for school!\
162	'''Skip:''' "A bit late for school?"\
163	'''Chilus:''' A little tardy.\
164	''(BeatPanel)''\
165	'''Skip:''' ''Was that a "retarded" joke? Do you know my brother's handicapped?''\
166	'''Chilus:''' Right, I'm sorry! That was very insensitive of me. Let me get my purse and make a contribution to your favorite mental health charity... What's this? My driver's license... Why, it says here '''I'm a demon!''' So ''[blows tongue at Skip] pbbtbbtbtbtbtbt'' to you ''and'' your retarded brother!\
167	'''Skip:''' Fine. We're demons. We're evil. Can't you have a little class?\
168	'''Chilus:''' You're a little ''late'' for class.
169	* In ''Webcomic/SomethingPositive 1938'', the AffablyEvil "Pops" Bernerd has almost certainly been involved in murder (or at least covering it up), but when Davan balks at drawing porn based on the characters from ''Little Orphan Annie'', Bernerd clarifies that he's not asking him to draw Annie herself, and if he did, Bernerd would beak his arms.
170	* Skewed to the point of parody in ''Webcomic/{{Sonichu}}'' -- in Issue 10, Chris and some of his Sonichu allies attack the 4-cent Garbage building [[AutobotsRockOut with music]]. In the process, Jason Kendrick Howell and a demon called Beel pull a ScrewThisImOuttaHere. When Beel leaves, he claims that the two remaining people with them, Clyde Cash and Jack Thaddeus, were unimaginably evil that it paled in comparison to his time working with ''Hitler''. Their crime? [[FelonyMisdemeanor Being gay and being a troll]].
171	* ''Webcomic/StalkerXStalker'': Junko doesn't exactly have many reservations about killing people, but when her father suggested ''murdering her classmates'' when she was a child because they were bothering her, even Junko didn't let him do it.
172	* Hunter Ravenwood of ''Webcomic/SuicideForHire'' WouldntHitAGirl, though that doesn't stop him from killing women who pay him to do so. Evidence suggests he doesn't like to think of the clients as people at all. The rules of the titular business also include "Suicides may not result in the death of a third party" and "Children under the age of sixteen will not be allowed to kill themselves". A pregnant client is rejected for this reason, as they consider her foetus to be a third party and object to helping her escape responsibility for it.
173	** Later, when confronted with a severely battered woman, he first wants to help her kill her abusive husband. [[spoiler: Only when she can't go through with the act, despite getting ''clear instructions'' via two-way radio, does he help her kill herself. Later, the husband comes to SFH...and his death is not at all pretty.]] Unusually, Arcturus is as enthusiastic about this job as Hunter.
174	* In ''Webcomic/{{Supervillainous}}'' Crimson Claw is a badass villain who enjoys tormenting heroes, employs actual evil spirits, and once forced a man who annoyed him to move to a frozen tundra. Harming a legitimate charity, though, is strictly off limits, even when their offense was marketing action figures of him full of heroic quotes.[[note]]He does, however, buy up and gleefully incinerate the toys themselves.[[/note]]
175	* In ''{{Webcomic/Terinu}}'', the Gene Mage, the series' BigBad, who is responsible for genetically engineering a SlaveRace and aiding in the invasion of the Earth 500 years before, reacts angrily to one of his allies leaving two prisoners alone in a cell without food or water for several days.
176	* In ''Webcomic/{{Terra}}'' Sovereign Northazul Kalar, the EvilOverlord of the piece, rejects his son Solus' request to launch a biowarfare attack against the United Earth Coalition on grounds that it would be dishonorable.
177	* ''Webcomic/{{Unsounded}}'''s Bastion Winalils is a MadScientist who'll go to horrific lengths in his quest to conquer death and excuses even worse from his fellow Black Tongues, but even he takes the time to blind a CorruptCop who's [[FantasticRacism bullying a Two-Toe]] in a racial pogrom.
178	-->''"...if even ''lawmen'' can't practice a classier evil, what hope is there for we ''criminals''?"''
179	* Attempted by ''Webcomic/TriquetraCats'' in a filler comic, which had a demonic serial killer suddenly break character and deliver a message about the evils of transphobia. The attempt failed miserably.
180	* ''Webcomic/{{Vexxarr}}'', before leaving Earth had to [[http://www.vexxarr.com/archive.php?seldate=121905 thank]] [[MegaCorp Sony]]... for [[EvilerThanThou unburdening his conscience]].
