9* The Greater Terran Union in ''WebVideo/StellarisInvicta'' is a totalitarian regime that emerged from the ashes of an AlienInvasion that devastated civilization and killed a significant portion of humanity. A strong undercurrent of [[HumansAreWarriors xenophobia, militarism]] and [[HobbesWasRight brutal cynicism]] underlies much of the GTU's political ideology, and the leadership take very extreme methods to ensure humanity will NeverBeHurtAgain by aliens.
10* By the end of ''Literature/TheAngloAmericanNaziWar'', the victorious post-war Allies are so horrified by the death and destruction caused that they enact a policy of using any tactic to stop anything that might balloon out into WorldWarIII. Unsanctioned space launch? That means you might have access to [[UsefulNotes/TypesOfNuclearWeapons ICBMs]], and the A4 can't have that. Sectarian violence in the third world? Send in the troops and attack ''both'' sides. One of the fifteen Administrative Regions which make up what was once the Reich try to push for the reunification of Germany? [[spoiler:Nuke the place from orbit and kill everyone in it.]]
11* Don Cheadle's funny and yet at the same time creepy take-on of Captain Planet in Creator/FunnyOrDie.
12* In ''Roleplay/TheGamersAlliance'', the Clergy of Cardia and later the Church of the Memory of Cardia who follow the God of Order show signs of being knight templar in their quest to hunt down anyone who is worshipping Mardük the God of Chaos or collaborating with demons whom they see as abominations to be purged.
13* Dr. Hax in ''WebAnimation/TheGmodIdiotBox'' punishes hacking with a monitor to the face. ''Any'' kind of hacking, [[AllCrimesAreEqual no matter how benign or well-intentioned.]] One skit eventually has Chuckles the Cheat ([[ButtMonkey a frequent victim of his]]) team up with him to take down another hacker, and after Dr. Hax bans him with a banhammer made of monitors, he eventually uses it on Chuckles as well for hacking during the confrontation ([[PetTheDog though with a reduced ban sentence.]])
14* WebVideo/HeroHouse has Kratos, who seems to have taken his God-slaying mission across multiple dimensions, targeting even Superheroes in his quest.
15* In ''LetsPlay/{{Mahu}}'''s "Second Chance", the Zracon are an alien example of Knight Templars. Focused on their crusade to rid the whole galaxy of the influence of the dreaded "Shadow", they will brainwash, conquer and slaughter without a single doubt in their minds. After all, no matter how cruel their actions that, they believe the second coming of the shadow will be far, far worse.
16* The nation of Wreathe in ''Website/{{Mortasheen}}'' is basically [[VideoGame/{{Fallout}} the Enclave]] turned up to eleven. They are so obsessed with a "pure" humanity that they launch unprovoked attacks on anything even ''slightly'' unhuman, and are more than willing to murder ''other humans'' who refuse to bow down to their [[ANaziByAnyOtherName totalitarian]] regime. [[spoiler:The fact that they're secretly led by a batshit insane computer program doesn't exactly help either]].
17* Most worshippers of [[CrystalDragonJesus Khersis]] in ''Literature/TalesOfMU'' come off this way towards the main character as a result of FantasticRacism, owing to the fact that she's a {{half|HumanHybrid}}-[[OurDemonsAreDifferent demon]] and their god's portfolio includes protecting humanity from demons.
18** The incipient paladin Gloria from her mixed melee class comes off as this, as well. Her characterization starts off painting her as just another run-of-the-mill [[TheFundamentalist fundamentalist]], but when she starts to engage in activities that might seriously harm Mack, like sanctifying herself before battle and uttering prayers as Mack goes to meditate, which may indicate a slippage towards BlackAndWhiteInsanity, she becomes this.
19** The emancipated golem [[RobotGirl Two]] also comes off as this in a much less malicious way. She has a pathological desire to do as she is told, and so she takes rules [[SeriousBusiness very seriously]], sometimes to such a degree that she causes problems for herself and her friends.
20* In ''Literature/VoidDomain'', when it comes to anything they consider a possible enemy, the Elysium nuns tend to shoot holy lightning first and ask questions never. Sister Cross [[spoiler:thinks nothing of surprise-attacking a blind girl in her bedroom, then attacking a teacher who comes to her defense.]]
21* ''Website/SCPFoundation'':
22** [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-2128 SCP-2128]] ("The Liars' Cradle") is a stone furnace that [[KillItWithFire incinerates anyone]] who says anything untrue while inside it. Its cultist creators abandoned it after they found it couldn't tell whether someone was truly lying or simply mistaken about a fact.
23** The Foundation becomes this in their attempts to "protect" humanity from [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-3396 SCP-3396]], an infectious agent that grants its hosts [[DeityOfHumanOrigin godlike powers]]. Despite the Foundation's best efforts, [[spoiler:SCP-3396 becomes widespread, and eventually almost everyone on Earth]] is affected. Does the Foundation accept this as the new normal? Nope. They classify ''[[spoiler:humanity]]'' as [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-3731 an SCP]] and take action to [[HumanitysWake neutralize it]]. [[spoiler:They ultimately destroy themselves and the Earth, all the while humanity continues to '''thrive''', no longer having any need for the Earth.]]
24* ''Blog/SpaceshipsAndPsychics'': In the ActualPlay ''TabletopGame/IronswornStarforged'' campaign, the Keepers, upholders of the Covenant, from the gamebook are flavoured as this. In the PlayerCharacter's backstory, they send her to eliminate a settlement that was conducting AI research due to believing AIIsACrapshoot and she goes rogue after realizing that completing her mission would involve destroying the BenevolentAI they created, who is essentially a child.
