8[[AC:{{Crossover}}s]]
9* In ''[[Fanfic/AceCombatTheEquestrianWar Ace Combat: The Equestrian War]]'', [[spoiler: Black Star]], a soldier of the Griffin Kingdom, was ordered to [[spoiler: kill Firefly's parents, as they were suspected for trying to stage a mutiny against the kingdom]]. When he learns that [[spoiler: the accusations were false]], he just [[spoiler: [[IDidWhatIHadToDo shrugs it off]] in the [[BerserkerTears young]] [[TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou pegasus' face.]] ]]
10* ''Fanfic/TheChaoticMasters'' (MassiveMultiplayerCrossover):
11** [[spoiler: Tirek]] mocks the Dazzlings by suggesting that the Chaotic Masters don't actually care about them and will replace them once they're freed, for no other reason than he knows that it'll get under their skin.
12** Wong tries to outbid Jade's efforts to bid on a Palisman at [[AuctionOfEvil Roulette's auction of magical artifacts]] for no other reason than to spite her.
13* ''Fanfic/CodePrime'' (''Anime/CodeGeass'' & ''Franchise/{{Transformers}}''): The Decepticons, especially Megatron and Airachnid, do this to Euphemia [[spoiler:by orchestrating the SAZ Massacre and destroying Euphie's chances of creating peace between Britannia, the Autobots, and the Black Knights, with the former using a Pretender in her image to start the massacre, and the latter kidnapping and holding Euphie captive while mocking her pain and sadness.]]
14* ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/8697130/6/Curiouser-and-Curiouser Curiouser and Curiouser]]'': A serial killer strangling an old lady living alone is ''very'' bad, but the reason why [[ThisIsUnforgivable John Watson]] swears to get him caught is because he [[ForcedToWatch forced her to watch him]] kill all of her beloved pet cats right before murdering her.
15* ''Fanfic/{{Equestrylvania}}''. Pretty much ''every villain in this fanfic.'' However, special mention should go to [[NiceJobBreakingItHero Chronomage's antagonizing of Aeon]], Marble [[spoiler: poisoning already-sick kids in a hospital]], then rubbing [[TheWoobie Applejack]]'s nose in the fact that [[spoiler: a zombified version of her father murdered other ponies, among them several foals.]] DarkerAndEdgier doesn't even begin to describe the kind of story this is.
16* ''Fanfic/JWITCHSeries'' (''WesternAnimation/JackieChanAdventures'' & ''WesternAnimation/{{WITCH}}''): In "Return", not only does Nerissa [[spoiler: show Elyon a false image of Phobos killing their parents in an attempt to protect his sister, but callously reveals that she was the one who actually did so, and that she was manipulating both him and her from the start, topping it off by stealing her power.]]
17* ''Fanfic/LastChildOfKrypton'': Gendo provides plenty of examples of dog-kicking. Some instances:
18** He engineered a plane crash to test Shinji’s reaction. Yes, he risked hundreds of lives –including one of his pilots- only to be sure that he could predict Shinji’s actions.
19** Gendo demanded Asuka be disciplined for “insubordination” when she fought Shamshel, despite it being not her fault at all.
20** While Rei was hospitalized, Shinji brought her flowers. Gendo saw them, he told: “You do not need flowers” and dumped them in the trash.
21* ''Fanfic/TheManyDatesOfDannyFenton'': As if stealing Timmy's prized Crimson Chin comic wasn't bad enough, Vicky adds injury to insult by giving him a wedgie.
22* ''Fanfic/MaybeTheLastArchieStory'' (''ComicBook/ArchieComics'' & ''ComicBook/SabrinaTheTeenageWitch''): Mad Doctor Doom -[[ComicBook/DoctorDoom no relation]]- attempts to shoot [[ComicBook/SabrinaTheTeenageWitch Sabrina's cat]] only because he ''thinks'' it might not be a normal cat.
23* In ''Fanfic/ThePrayerWarriors'', while [[Franchise/HarryPotter Dumbledore]] is mostly a DesignatedVillain, he's [[EstablishingCharacterMoment introduced]] [[ATasteOfTheLash whipping a student for praying]].
24* ''Fanfic/ShadowsOverMeridian'' (''WesternAnimation/JackieChanAdventures'' & ''WesternAnimation/{{WITCH}}''):
25** Caleb accuses the guards of being loyal to Phobos because they suspect Kage is not a minion of his (contrary to Caleb's firm beliefs), abandons them during the Shadowkhan attack on the castle, and along with Aldarn openly hopes that they die, to Drake and Elyon's horror.
26** When Vera Bexley's grandfather was killed before her eyes by the Mogriffs, one of them tore in half the dress her grandfather was planning to give her as a gift, as a warning not to mess with them.
27** After falling out with her friends, Vera sinks low enough to jab at Caroline's [[WellDoneSonGuy fear of being a disappointment to her mother]] when the timid girl refuses to tell her [[spoiler:where to find Kage so that Vera can assassinate her]].
28
29[[AC:''Manga/AhMyGoddess'']]
30* ''Fanfic/AhArchfall'': A good example of this is shown in an exchange between Belldandy and the main character, Jago:
31-->"Well we could try… singing?" Belldandy asked hopefully. At this, Jago did raise his hat, peering out from under the brim.\
32"Well that depends; would you rather be cremated or buried at sea?"
33
34[[AC:''Literature/{{Animorphs}}'']]
35* ''Fanfic/{{Daemorphing}}'': During ''The Abyss'' [[spoiler:Ax, suffering the effects of being underground and in a bad situation, starts attacking Estrid. After she deliberately infects the Aftran Plisim Pool with her virus he tries to kill her, then when prevented destroys her lab. However, Estrid herself has done nothing but kick dogs and Ax's family immediately shows up to comfort him for being upset.]]
36* Throughout the ''Fanfic/{{Eleutherophobia}}'' series, Tom recalls several times that [[PuppeteerParasite Essa 412]] had been excessively cruel to him, from taunting him with the idea that his little brother was going to die of a drug overdose, to snapping a child's neck because his singing made Tom and some other hosts feel hopeful. In ''Ghost in the Shell'', he mentions that Temrash 114 got rid of his childhood things to punish him.
37* We only get sparse details of what happened to Tom while he was a controller in ''Fanfic/WhatTomorrowBrings'', but it included constant MindRape, being forced to have sex with Visser Three, and near the end he was chained up in a cage to himself in the Yeerk Pool. No wonder he wanted to die.
38
39[[AC:''[[Franchise/AvatarTheLastAirbender Avatar: The Last Airbender / The Legend of Korra]]'']]
40* ''Fanfic/BloodMoon'': Hama forcing Katara to learn bloodbending in the waterbender prison by bloodbending her.
41* ''Fanfic/ImprisonedThisTimeForReal'': The prison guards who torture the waterbender prisoners and refuse to give them medical attention afterwards are clearly this.
42* In ''Fanfic/TheMasksWeWearAvatarTheLastAirbender'', while being 'interrogated' by Aang and company during the invasion of the Fire Nation, [[spoiler:Azula tells Sokka that Suki [[PrisonRape is being 'used' by her fellow prisoners]] and that [[PostRapeTaunt she might actually be starting to like it]], and implies that she is pregnant...not that Sokka actually knows of the strictly enforced rules in Fire Nation prisons]].
43* ''Fanfic/TheWorstPrisoner'': Hahn throws into Zuko's face how his father doesn't want him after Zuko calls his plan stupid and even goes as far as suggesting they should drown him as response to the Ozai's insult.
44
45[[AC:''Franchise/{{Batman}}'']]
46* The [[Fanfic/TheCATverse CATverse]] story ''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5999604/1/Small_World Small World]]'' is a story-length reminder that, despite his sympathetic past, Jonathan Crane is not a good person. In the story, he viciously murders his mother in a flashback scene before torturing his own younger sister into insanity, with no remorse whatsoever. Her only offense to him was that she existed. He later abducts her from a mental hospital to do it again. His treatment of her is so cruel that even his normally perky henchgirls are [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness horrified]] [[EvenEvilHasStandards by his actions]].
47
48[[AC:''Franchise/{{Bleach}}'']]
49* In the fanfic series ''{{Fanfic/Heirverse}}'', there's Aizen in ''cwst'' and what he does to Ulq in ''Heir''. Gin also spits vitriol at Orihime over the events that ''he'' [[ManipulativeBastard orchestrated.]]
50* In the BadFuture of ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13167363/15/To-Undo-it-All To Undo It All]]'', Yhwach went out of his way to torment the shinigami and Ichigo's friends for daring to oppose his plans to destroy the world. According to Ichigo, he pulled stunts such as obliterating the souls of dead relatives, tortured Rukia, desecrated the graves of Rukia's and Renji's friends, and destroyed Karakura town.
51
52[[AC:''ComicStrip/CalvinAndHobbes'']]
53* ''Fanfic/ThePezDispenserAndTheReignOfTerror'': The duplicate [[YouHaveFailedMe killing one of his own men]] prompts this reaction.
54
55[[AC:''VideoGame/{{Control}}'']]
56* ''Fanfic/OrdinaryGirl'': When Dylan catches Jesse with an iPod, he takes it, shoots it and scolds her for having unauthorized tech within the Oldest House, violating his "trust" and making him look bad. What makes this sting is that 1) she's his sister and all she ever does is try to please him, 2) being in Bureau-custody means she doesn't have much of the way of personal property to begin with, and 3) it was in the lost-and-found, so she wasn't the one who broke any rules. Even worse, this comes right after scolding her for using her "Otherness" (her Dash ability), disregarding the fact that she did it to prevent an Altered Item from hurting Emily.
57
58[[AC:Franchise/DisneyAnimatedCanon]]
59* The central conflict of ''[[Fanfic/MayIHaveThisDanceSailorKingMischief May I have this dance?]]'' is that Alma ''refuses'' to celebrate Mirabel's fifteenth birthday, repeatedly insisting that her granddaughter doesn't ''deserve'' a quinceañera. First when Luisa brings it up, then again during a family dinner.
60
61[[AC:''WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddparents'']]
62* In ''Fanfic/NeverHadAFriendLikeMe'', Anti-Cosmo and HP teleport away Timmy and his Godparents for a revenge scheme. They also end up grabbing [[OriginalCharacter Ama]][[ShrinkingViolet nda]] since she was present at the time. When Timmy begged them to at least let her go, citing the fact that she was innocent and uninvolved in their past encounters, they decide to toss her in the lava pit as well [[AndYourLittleDogToo specifically because Timmy asked them to let her go]] just so they could make Timmy suffer just a bit more. [[spoiler:Of course, with [[PapaWolf Norm]] watching the proceedings, this ends up biting them HARD.]]
63
64[[AC:''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVI'' ROM Hacks]]
65* In VideoGame/AntinomiaFinalFantasyVI, Kefka creates an illusion of Terra just to psychologically torment General Leo before an attempt on Leo's life that almost succeeds.
66
67[[AC:''Franchise/FireEmblem'']]
68* In ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12627838/1/Tears-of-Blue-Twilight Tears of Blue Twilight]]'', [[VideoGame/FireEmblemTheBlazingBlade Eliwood]], who [[RonTheDeathEater is turned into a horrible person in this fic]], not only abuses his ward Shanna, whom he bought from slavers because his son [[VideoGame/FireEmblemTheBindingBlade Roy]] is in love with her, but casually slashes his brewer's throat just because he doesn't like his mead in a plot-irrelevant act of cruelty.
69
70[[AC:FusionFic]]
71* ''Fanfic/EquestriaGirlsAFairlyOddFriendship'' (''WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddParents'' & ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirls''):
72** Vicky ruining Timmy's lawn work and later dumping garbage on his head.
73** [[spoiler:The Dazzlings]] laughing at Timmy's torment during the Learn-A-Torium demonstration, and having the nerve to post his torment online.
74
75[[AC:''Anime/GirlsUndPanzer'']]
76* ''Fanfic/BoysUndSenshado'':
77** During [[WhamEpisode Chapter 7]], Shiho not only [[spoiler:goes through with her plan of disowning Miho]], but she does so in what might be the worst possible way; [[spoiler:she visits Miho in the hospital for the sole purpose of telling her that]].
78** [[OriginalCharacter Hideyoshi Katsuko]], one of Shiho's students, condescendingly tells Miho that [[spoiler:six bruised ribs]] shouldn't be enough to stop one of Shiho's children from commanding a tank[[note]]This comes off as even worse if you assume that Hideyoshi knows that Miho not only doesn't like her family's style, but [[spoiler:has been disowned]][[/note]], and that as Miho and her team turned sensha-do into a mockery of what it was, she enjoys coaching one of their opponents.
79
80[[AC:''Franchise/HarryPotter'']]
81* ''Fanfic/HarryPotterAndTheMethodsOfRationality'': [[Characters/HarryPotterAndTheMethodsOfRationality Lucius Malfoy]] at one point attempts to send Hermione to Azkaban even though he has '''nothing''' to gain from this, reinforcing what a prick he is.
82
83[[AC:''Webcomic/HetaliaAxisPowers'']]
84* ''Fanfic/AllHeEverWanted'' has Prussia, Hungary and several others punting puppies with ridiculous ease to show off how DarkerAndEdgier it is compared to the original source.
85
86[[AC:''WesternAnimation/InvaderZim'']]
87* ''Fanfic/GazsHorribleHalloweenOfDoom'': The plot is kicked off when Gaz destroys the offering Dib was going to make to Samhain, for no real reason other than he annoyed her. [[DoNotTauntCthulhu This pisses off Samhain]], and he inflicts a HumiliationConga on her [[PayEvilUntoEvil in retribution]].
88* ''Fanfic/InvaderZimABadThingNeverEnds'': In Chapter 5, not only do the [[QuirkyMinibossSquad minion trio]] [[TarAndFeathers tar and feather]] Dib, Bob then follows him home and insults his head size the entire way.
89* ''Fanfic/MiseryLovesCompany'': Gaz sees a mourning old woman in her way while leaving the cemetery, shoves her out of the way, and after being rebuked, grabs her into the arm and slams her into the ground. [[LaserGuidedKarma This comes back to bite her later.]]
90* ''Fanfic/WitchingHour'': Gaz once accused a merchant of price gouging and had him flogged, just for trying to sell her something without giving her a discount for her royal status.
91
92[[AC:''WesternAnimation/JackieChanAdventures'']]
93* ''Fanfic/TheUltimateEvil'':
94** When Valmont is about to blast Jackie with the Dragon Talisman, Valerie Payne comes between them and pleads Valmont to stop. In response, Valmont gives her his first impressions by blasting her instead.
95** When Hak Foo assaults Valerie's apartment under the belief that she has the Demon Archive, he not only injures her severely when she fights back, but also leaves her callously to die (which would have likely happened if not [[VillainousRescue for Shendu]]).
96* ''Fanfic/QueenOfShadows'': In Shendu's first appearance in the new reality, he forces a slave girl to dance for him nonstop, until she's practically collapsing from exhaustion (and specifically notes that he [[ForTheEvulz enjoys her suffering more than the dancing]]). When she's finally done, he [[PetTheDog compliments her]], saying that it was clearly the best she's ever danced... and since she'll probably never do better, [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness she's of no further use to him]], so he [[KillItWithFire incinerates her]]. And judging by his court's reaction, this is a regular occurrence.
97
98[[AC:''VisualNovel/KatawaShoujo'']]
99* In ''Fanfic/LillyEpilogueFamilyMatters'', Lilly's father makes fun of Hanako's scars. This is even worse than it sounds; in the game, it is revealed that [[spoiler:Hanako's parents died in the fire that gave her the scars, and her mother sacrificed herself protecting her, and she was bullied for her appearances]]. His doing so ''in spite of being forewarned by Akira'' causes Hanako to have a breakdown.
100
101[[AC:''Anime/KillLaKill'']]
102* ''Fanfic/ConcerningADrifter'' mentions this. According to what she's written in her notebook, Ryuuko's captors also verbally and emotionally abused her by telling her how no one was looking for her and that, if anyone was, she wouldn't be found, so she would be better off where she was. Not surprisingly, this also broke her psyche.
103
104[[AC:''Franchise/KingdomHearts'']]
105* In ''Fanfic/KingdomHeartsTheShortAndHonestVersion'', Clayton from [[WesternAnimation/{{Tarzan}} Deep Jungle]] mentions a literal example of "punting a few puppies off a cliff".
106
107[[AC:''Franchise/KungFuPanda'']]
108* ''Fanfic/ShenVsKai'': [[spoiler:Hei Yinying]] is normally very FauxAffablyEvil and relatively pragmatic, but when he ends up fighting Po alone, he goes out of his way at the end to viciously rub salt in Po's wounds by convincing Po that he can't save Shen from his DealWithTheDevil without essentially killing an entire universe full of people.
109-->"''[==]'''Do you want to know why I even wasted my time with this? Because I'm sick of ignorant, idealistic morons trying to get in my way, and I just wanted to break you.'''[==]''"
110* ''Fanfic/TheVow'': Shen breaks Po by telling him that his parents never loved him and that knowing what happened to them won't make him feel any better, just like in [[WesternAnimation/KungFuPanda2 the movie]], but here it's made ''much'' more this trope. Whereas in the movie it was implied Shen was [[PsychologicalProjection psychologically projecting]] when he said this, here it's implied Shen has already realized before he says this that his parents ''did'' love him, making it seem more outright cruel.
111
112[[AC:''Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda'']]
113* ''[[Fanfic/BoundDestiniesTrilogy Wisdom and Courage]]'': Every time Veran appears in person, it's guaranteed she'll pull as much puppy-punting as she possibly can simply because [[ForTheEvulz she thinks it's fun]]. Examples include, but are not limited to, setting fire to the Great Deku Tree to speed up Link's progress and nearly killing Saria in doing so, planting a ForcefulKiss on Link in front of Zelda purely to hurt the latter, and finally giving Zelda a TraumaticHaircut and leaving her near-death while [[ForcedToWatch making Link watch her do so]] in order to push him over the DespairEventHorizon. She even outright states that she could easily swoop in and kill Link and Zelda at any time, but wants to completely and utterly MindRape them first.
114
115[[AC:''WesternAnimation/{{Luca}}'']]
116* In the second chapter of ''Fanfic/TheStoryOfApolloDaphneAndLucaAnItalianTragedy'', resident BigJerkOnCampus Vincenzo ruthlessly mocks Luca for the LoveLetter he wrote for Alberto because he thought the letter was intended for Giulia, whom Vincenzo [[AmazonChaser has a huge crush on]]. He even calls Luca's letter "a complete joke".
117
118
119[[AC:''Franchise/MegaMan'']]
120* ''Fanfic/MegaManDefenderOfTheHumanRace'': Dr. Wily does this a ''lot'', especially to his own robots.
121** In the episode 9 epilogue, he [[spoiler:demoted [=ProtoMan=] in front of all the other robots when it was Wily's fault the plan failed, and made it so he can never leave the fortress without permission again]].
122** Metal Man decapitates a Sniper Joe in Episode 9, though it isn't killed.
123** Centaur Man gets one in episode 11 when he imitates a heartbroken Mega Man while he's relaying information to Wily.
124** In Episode 11 Wily demotes [=ProtoMan=] to the lowest rung yet, prevents him from going on missions, and [[spoiler:weaponizes a Pet the Dog moment with Bass]] to further hurt him. Then, in a later chapter, he [[spoiler: burns [=ProtoMan=]'s photograph of himself and Mega Man together]].
125** Episode 12 has Miss T ripping apart Tonya's wedding dress.
126* ''Fanfic/MegaManRecut'': Wily reprograms Drill Man against his will because Drill Man wasn't sure about causing earthquakes in New York.
127
128[[AC:''WesternAnimation/MiraculousLadybug'']]
129* Chloé Bourgeoise is already notorious for this trope in canon, but the fic ''[[http://archiveofourown.org/works/6210256/chapters/14227615 #BonAnniversairePrincess]]'' has her go to especially despicable lengths to ruin Marinette's birthday. First, she announces a big party to celebrate the end of the school year for the same night and arranges for multiple celebrities to attend. Marinette, [[NiceGirl being who she is]], opts to cancel her plans for a party before they'd even started because she doesn't want to make her classmates choose. Next, Chloé hires Marinette's parents to do some of the catering, ensuring they'll be too busy to celebrate with her, and Marinette - again, being Marinette - refuses to let them turn down a huge boost to their business, believing she'll be still able to hang out with Alya at least. But then ''this'' option falls through when Chloé is heard bragging about inviting Ladybug and Chat Noir to the party, and Marinette chooses to let Alya (a fangirl of the two) go, unable to tell her that Ladybug won't actually be there without risking her secret, and choosing not to tell her that Marinette herself wasn't invited. The end-result of the scheme is that Alya and Marinette's parents each believe she'll be having fun with the other(s) and Marinette won't ruin things for any of them by telling them the truth, leaving her home alone (aside from Tikki) and miserable on her birthday - not helped when Chloé twists the knife ''even further'' by sending her a sarcastic "Wish you were here" message. However, this all ultimately backfires when Chat Noir also blows off the invitation, visits Marinette on her balcony, finds out what's going on, and then goes to similarly great lengths to give her a fantastic birthday, not only taking her out for dinner, dancing and karaoke, but instagramming the whole night to get the hashtag [[TitleDrop #BonAnniversairePrincess!]] trending. He even takes a moment to [[NiceJobFixingItVillain thank Chloé for making the night]] "''[[{{Pun}} paw]]''-sible".
130* ''Webcomic/DadVillainAU'': When Sabine's mysterious illness results in her being hospitalized, Rolland takes advantage of his son asking him to help out at the bakery to try and force Marinette to follow ''HIS'' recipes instead. When she protests, he declares that her mother's not here for her to listen to right now, and she doesn't know when or ''if'' Sabine will be back. He then twists the knife further by implying Sabine is ''faking'' her illness just to get out of work, implying that she's effectively ''abandoning'' her daughter.
131
132[[AC:''VideoGame/ModernWarfare'']]
133* In ''Fanfic/TheAdventuresOfCaptainSoap'', the evil [[RougeAnglesOfSatin General Shephhard]] kills a family while he and Soap are fighting each other in the Burger King. The reason? [[ForTheEvulz We don't know]]. The official explanation is "because he's evil".
134
135[[AC:Franchise/MonsterVerse]]
136* ''Fanfic/AbraxasHrodvitnon'': [[Characters/AbraxasHrodvitnonHumans Alan Jonah]], when he goes out of his way to [[BreakThemByTalking verbally rip apart]] Vivienne Graham (who is already in a severe HeroicBSOD) whilst she's being ''tortured with napalm''. Whilst Jonah has been trying to [[BeingTorturedMakesYouEvil mould the creature Vivienne has become into his own cudgel via breaking her]], Mariko thinks that Jonah doing what he did here wasn't even about that since he didn't even ''try'' to justify it. JustifiedTrope, as Jonah at this point in time is NotHimself due to his SanitySlippage.
137** [[https://cowabungaitis.tumblr.com/post/667471912863252480/operation-rabbit-hole This]] RecursiveFanfiction short by cowabungaitis sees one of Jonah's men, when ordered to dispose of "dissident" {{Disposable Vagrant}}s, use a modified [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_Denial_System Active Denial System]] to basically ''microwave'' them to death.
138
139[[AC:''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'']]
140* ''Fanfic/BeyondTheWall'': [[spoiler:The villagers murder Rainbow Dash when she accidentally lands in the village, simply because she's an outsider and they believe everything outside the village is a forest monster.]]
141-->'''Mr. Amber''': [[spoiler:So you are from beyond the wall, and thus, you do not love Gaea, nor does Gaea love you. We release you from your tortured existence.]]
142* ''Fanfic/DuskAndDawn'': When a young unicorn servant implied to be new to her job freaks out after Nightmare Moon loses her temper, she orders the unicorn thrown in the dungeon.
143** From the same fic, Nightmare Moon ordering Eclipse to torture Spike.
144* ''Fanfic/FixingUpMissSmartypants'': Trixie casually throws a wrench into [[spoiler:Pinkie Pie]]'s plans [[ItAmusedMe just to amuse herself]], then decides to [[spoiler:take advantage of the lovelorn Fluttershy just to hurt her marefriend]].
145* All throughout ''Fanfic/LovedAndLost'', [[TheUsurper Prince Jewelius]] and his followers go out of their way to make life for Twilight's [[HeroWithBadPublicity dishonored loved ones]] as miserable as possible, gleefully taking delight in their misfortunes.
146** First, Jewelius unfairly blames [[CainAndAbel his loving cousin]] Princess Cadance for allowing Queen Chrysalis to impersonate her and sentences her to exile along with the other princesses [[spoiler:even though it was ''him'', not Chrysalis, who knocked her unconscious]]. When she tries using her love spell to reason with him, he [[NoSell laughs as it has no effect on him and calls it a trick]].
147** When Shining Armor frantically asks from Jewelius if Twilight (whom he last saw falling unconscious) is okay, the fresh tyrant king only responds with a [[LackofEmpathy sadistic grin]] as the big brother panicking over his sister is taken away along with the other exiles.
148** For no other reason than to pour salt in their wounds, Jewelius sends Spike the wedding cake toppers and Rarity her bridesmaid dress as cruel reminders of the failures they were banished for.
149** When [[KnightTemplar Commander Hildread]] leaves Spike exiled in a dark forest, he asks her to tell Twilight he's sorry for abandoning her. [[LackofEmpathy Unsympathetic towards the baby dragon's remorse]], Hildread viciously and loudly tells him that Twilight is no longer his concern, frightening him as she leaves him with the wedding toppers.
150** Immediately after the disgraced heroes are renounced by Twilight and imprisoned, [[spoiler:Jewelius]] and Hildread further rub the heroes' failures in their faces by laughing at the notion that Twilight would consider them her friends after [[MadeOutToBeAJerkass their poor treatment of her at the wedding rehearsal]].
151*** Earlier that day, he subjects Shining Armor to a flurry of insults from his former fellow guards and a [[ATasteOfTheLash brutal public flogging]] from Hildread.
152*** He also reveals that he [[spoiler:had [[SickbedSlaying many of the injured royal guards murdered]] for remaining loyal to the princesses]].
153** The next day, Jewelius takes the prisoners out to be [[ShamedByAMob publicly shamed and insulted by the citizens of Canterlot]], who all [[BrokenPedestal feel themselves to be betrayed by their former protectors]]. He fully intends to make sure that the fugitives are ForcedToWatch as Celestia is executed before a hateful crowd while their protests fall on deaf ears, taking immense pleasure from the heroes' failed attempt to tell the crowd and Twilight the CassandraTruth about [[spoiler:Jewelius being the one behind the invasion]] only succeeding in making them even more scorned upon. He then [[AnyLastWords basically dares Celestia herself to try the same thing]], [[spoiler:to which she gives a remorseful apology speech that dispels the anger directed at her, but even as the public protests against her execution, Jewilius cruelly goes through with it anyway as they can only look on in horror. Essentially, he could have very well succeeded in murdering Celestia because he could... [[FailedASpotCheck if only he had a contingency for]] [[BigDamnHeroes Luna's]] [[ShootTheRope intervention]]]].
154** As the heroes are freed and make their escape from Canterlot, Jewelius, who still has Cadance captured, [[spoiler:tries to [[SickbedSlaying have her killed in the infirmary]] and frame the escaped heroes for it, hoping to nip the process of the citizens regaining their respect for them in the bud while also diverting suspicion away from him. [[DamselOutOfDistress Fortunately, Cadance has already managed to free herself]]]].
155** It's eventually revealed that Jewelius made the lives of Ponyville's citizens miserable [[HitlerAteSugar as retribution for the Mane Five's actions]], via raising taxes, banning trade with other towns, and sending his soldiers to brutalize the citizens; when Fluttershy wonders why he's doing this just because of the heroes' folly, Rainbow Dash's answer is his spiteful sadism. This culminates in Jewelius, as he slowly goes insane, ultimately planning to [[spoiler:massacre the entire population of Ponyville]], complete with [[DestinationDefenestration tossing a guard out of a window]] simply for questioning this decision.
156* ''Fanfic/TrailsAndTrials'': [[TheBully Destiny Dawn]] doesn't waste any time establishing her role when she immediately knocks Ditzy's muffin right out of her hooves during their first meeting. Later on, she and one of her friends play catch with Ditzy's package before letting it slam into Ditzy's face, and they simply laugh about it as they leave her with a bloody nose.
157
158[[AC:''Franchise/NeonGenesisEvangelion'']]
159* ''Fanfic/AdviceAndTrust'': Gendo pulls a double-whammy with [[spoiler:Bardiel, when he orders the pilots to destroy Unit-03 with no care for the welfare of Hikari.]] When they instead manage to [[spoiler:successfully retrieve the plug and destroy the Angel anyways,]] he has Shinji and Asuka ''thrown into confinement and fired'' purely out of spite for being disobeyed.
160* ''Fanfic/TheChildOfLove'': Gendo [[spoiler:drugged an underage girl to goad her into having sex and getting pregnant]]. Afterwards he altered [[spoiler:her unborn kid’s DNA, even though it might kill her mother upon giving birth]]. His goal was [[spoiler:creating a super-pilot, planning to use her as soon as she was born]]. Yes, he planned [[spoiler:to use a baby–who coincidentally was his granddaughter-to fight SEELE]]. And even after being told [[spoiler:SEELE had been eliminated]], he still proceeded with his plan, so that he does not even have that excuse.
161* ''Fanfic/ACrownOfStars'': When [[BigBad Jinnai]] finds out that Asuka is sleeping with Shinji, he threatens to sell her into slavery out of spite because his erstwhile not-quite-willing plaything had found someone she loved and bedded enthusiastically.
162* ''Fanfic/DoingItRightThisTime'': Naoko is a much more unpleasant person in this story than in canon. When she found out about what had happened to Kyoko after Unit 02's failed contact experiment, she laughed. Loudly. She also lied to Rei, making her to believe she could not have children.
163* In ''Fanfic/NobodyDies'', Claire Makinami calls Mari, her own daughter who was already going through identity/morality issues because [[spoiler:the second Ramiel fight has made her half-angel]], a monster to her face.
164
165[[AC:''Franchise/{{Persona}}'']]
166* In ''Fanfic/{{Continuance}}'', [[{{Jerkass}} Yuuma Seta]], the father of Souji Seta (the protagonist of ''VideoGame/{{Persona 4}}''), has a few such moments.
167** His EstablishingCharacterMoment involves him demanding that Souji cancel plans to visit his friends in Inaba for Golden Week, since Yuuma's dining with several business associates, and [[ItsAllAboutMe Yuuma doesn't want to look bad as a result of his son being a no-show]]. As if this weren't bad enough, Yuuma claims that Souji's [[TrueCompanions friends]] have already forgotten him.
168** After an incident in which Souji ends up on the cover of a magazine with [[IdolSinger Rise]] due to the two being seen together (Souji's in a relationship with Yukiko, so his encounter with Rise is entirely platonic) Yuuma calls Rise a "tramp" and a "floozy," the latter ''to Rise's face''.
169** In this fic, Souji has PTSD from his battles in the TV world, resulting in him having nightmares on [[TraumaButton rainy nights]]. Yuuma callously says that having a few "bad dreams" won't kill him- by comparison, Souji's mother, Izumi, is [[PetTheDog quite concerned for her son]] when she finds him crying after one such dream.

171[[AC:''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'']]
172* ''Fanfic/AtTheFoodCourt'': During Ash's hearing to determine whether he is still legally competent (after having been [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown beaten up so badly that he developed brain damage and severe delusional psychosis]]), Team Rocket replaced his trainer license with a forgery so obvious that every single word on it is spelled wrong. Not to mention that Giovanni, who knew what his underlings had done and approved of it, lied to the Pokemon League that Ash didn't legitimately earn half his Kanto badges while Ash is in a fugue state. And none of this affected the League's decision in any way, since Ash was already clearly catatonic. It was just to be a dick.
173* [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/6161819/744/Pokedex The Fanfic series titled Pokedex]] lampshades this trope, noting Alola's lack of a major evil group like other regions may relate to the lack of easy puppies to kick in Alola. After all the local canine species is a Rock-type, of whom kicking leaves one with a stubbed toe or worse injuries.
174* In ''Fanfic/PokemonResetBloodlines'' Paul still keeps his attitude of releasing his Pokémon if they don't live up to his standards. [[spoiler: In Chapter 27, he releases his Raichu after she loses in a battle against Misty and Iris, not bothering to properly heal her, and this act prompts Ash and Red (who at the time are angry at each other) to work together and ensure he doesn't win the tournament.]]
175
176[[AC:''Anime/PrettyCure'']]
177* In ''Fanfic/GlitterForceIntoTheGlitterverse'', [[Anime/SmilePrecure Joker]] makes a remark that [[Anime/HeartcatchPrettyCure "Glitter" Blossom]] smells like cologne, directed at Cure Moonlight (whose deceased fairy partner was named Cologne). He had never commented on any scent from anyone beforehand; he just wanted to torment Moonlight. [[spoiler:Unfortunately for him, this led to his own brutal demise at Moonlight's hands.]]
178
179[[AC:''Manga/RosarioPlusVampire'']]
180* ''FanFic/RosarioVampireBrightestDarkness'' has the various {{Arc Villain}}s do this a ''lot'':
181** In Act I, when Ghaldin returns and takes back control of Apoch and Astreal, the first thing he decides to do with Dark and Rason, whom Apoch and Astreal had brainwashed into serving them in order to kill Ghaldin only for it to backfire, is make them fight their respective {{Love Interest}}s, Mizore and Kurumu.
182** In Act II, Miyabi [[ScarpiaUltimatum extorts Mizore for sex in exchange for sparing Tsurara's life]], and the minute he's finished, orders Tsurara's execution regardless while mocking Mizore's gullibility.
183** In Act III, Hokuto steals Felucia's SoulJar and uses it to force Felucia to aid him in his plans while letting Jovian and Jacqueline use her as their sexual plaything.
184** Also in Act III, the very first thing Kuyou does upon his arrival at Yokai is burn Astreal to death. During his fight with the gang, he even takes the time out to incinerate several non-combatants.
185** In Act IV chapter 23, Jovian taunts Tsukune over the phone about her sexual abuse of Kyouko.
186** During their face-off in Act IV, Jacqueline blows up Tsukune's house just to hurt him; fortunately, Gin gets Tsukune's mom out in time.
187
188[[AC:''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'']]
189* ''WebVideo/CanOneChangeFixAllOfRWBY'': Salem turns Winter into a Witch in part because she wants to cruelly spite Weiss for abandoning the calling.
190
191[[AC:''Literature/TheScumVillainsSelfSavingSystemRenZhaFanpaiZijiuXitong'']]
192* ''Fanfic/CareToFind'' has a very literal example with Luo Binghe being responsible for the Harmonic Demon Dog breed's almost extinction, after a bad encounter with a puppy. Shen Yuan is outright infuriated to learn this and calls the Emperor out on his pettiness.
193
194[[AC:''WesternAnimation/ThomasAndFriends'']]
195* ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13861364/1/Imitation-Steamrollers Imitation Steamrollers]]'': George nastily brings up the time Percy accidentally killed a family simply to make Gina mad, then claims that the family's death was a ''good'' thing.
196* ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13620958/1/O-Mother-Where-Art-Thou O Mother, Where Art Thou?]]'': The Diesel deliberately crushes a photo frame containing a picture of a young [[OriginalCharacter David Rider]] and his mother, for no reason other than to anger David.
197
198[[AC:''Franchise/{{Transformers}}'']]
199* ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/12652830/chapters/28835313 Repair the Damage]]'': Soundwave is blind, and has to rely on his cassetticons to be able to see. Nova Storm takes advantage of this to separate Soundwave from Ratbat and unleash a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown on the tapedeck.
200
201[[AC:''Franchise/YuGiOh'']]
202* In ''Fanfic/LoadedBones'', while Yami Bakura is generally mean to Ryou, once he regains control of the body he becomes very manipulative and cruel.
203
