Line #17 PlayingWith/BoomerangBigot


1	'''Basic Trope''': A character is hostile against members of a group that they know they are a member of.
2	* '''Straight''': Bob the Troper thinks Tropers are horrible people. He harasses other Tropers he meets, and badmouths them to others.
3	* '''Exaggerated''': Bob the Troper starts a genocidal campaign against other Tropers.
4	* '''Downplayed''': Bob the Troper is slightly disdainful or otherwise just has a rather negative view towards other Tropers.
5	* '''Justified''':
6	** Bob is really ashamed that he's a Troper and doesn't want to be one. This is how he copes.
7	** Bob knows first-hand [[AlwaysChaoticEvil about how much of a jerk Tropers are]].
8	** Bob is unaware that he is a Troper or thinks that it is no reason to deny how "bad" (most) Tropers really are.
9	** Bob didn't choose to be a Troper.
10	** Bob feels that as a fellow Troper, he has a duty to hold himself and his fellow Tropers accountable, and not be a chauvinist twit in representing Troperland. Thus, all other things equal, he systematically and rigorously judges Tropers' transgressions/mistakes harsher, and downplays their achievement.
11	** Other Tropers were jerks to Bob in the past, so therefore, Bob hates Tropers.
12	* '''Inverted''':
13	** Bob isn't a Troper... but [[TransNature he wants]] [[TheWhitestBlackGuy nothing more than to be one]].
14	** Bob the Troper thinks [[MasterRace Tropers are superior]] to everyone else, [[AbsoluteXenophobe he may plan to kill Non-Tropers altogether.]]
15	* '''Subverted''':
16	** Disparaging Tropers is an InJoke among Tropers, so they take Bob's rants in stride.
17	** It's revealed that he really isn't a troper, there forth, not a hypocrite. People leave out an "O" in Bob the Tr'''o'''oper.
18	** Bob thinks Tropers are horrible people, but he loves [[CardCarryingVillain being a horrible person]].
19	* '''Double Subverted''':
20	** Bob really does hate Tropers, but lets them believe his harsh insults are just part of the InJoke.
21	** And Bob the Trooper hates other Troopers too.
22	* '''Parodied''': When Bob joins a group, he immediately hates members of the group, regardless if he liked said members before.
23	* '''Zig Zagged''':
24	** It's never made expressly clear whether or not Bob's supposed bigotry is an in-joke among Tropers or not.
25	** It's never made expressly clear whether or not Bob is a Troper, despite obviously hating them.
26	* '''Averted''':
27	** Bob the Troper hates tropers, but he [[HatesEveryoneEqually hates everyone else too]].
28	** Bob isn't a Troper. He just hates them.
29	** Bob doesn't hate Tropers.
30	* '''Enforced''':
31	** "So, OK, get this - this guy hates a group he's a part of. Whatever they're paying me, it isn't enough!"
32	** RuleOfFunny
33	* '''Lampshaded''': "Wait, what the hell, dude? Aren't you a troper yourself?" "Yes, but that doesn't mean I can't hate them."
34	* '''Invoked''': Harry tries to convince Sarah that Tropers are bad people, so she will leave their group.
35	* '''Exploited''': Jerry tries to get Bob to self-destruct and implode by turning his hatred of his group into InternalizedCategorism.
36	* '''Defied''': "You know, railing against a group I'm a part of might not be the best course of action. Maybe I'll just chill out and look at things in perspective."
37	* '''Discussed''': "Stupid Tropers. I hate them so much. I'm gonna become one to infiltrate them."
38	* '''Conversed''': "(sigh) Great, another one of those 'guy in the group hates members of that group' plotlines. It's just like something out of ''Series/LawAndOrder''."
39	* '''Deconstructed''':
40	** Bob's hatred of Tropers while being a Troper himself causes him a great deal of anguish and mental conflict. He eventually turns to destructive habits to cope.
41	** Tropers are the majority, using Tropes as tools to keep down people from Website/{{Wiki\|pedia}}landia. Bob finds it outlandish that Tropers would do such a thing and distances himself from them. Other tropers call Bob a self-hating Troper and insult him in the same way Tropers do Otherwikilandians.
42	** It does not matters how much Bob toes the anti-Troper line, how many Tropers he destroys and how much he tries to pretend he is not a Troper, and most importantly how pure is his hate, the anti-Tropers only see a Troper when they see Bob, and [[AllForNothing none of his efforts to be accepted will come to fruition]].
43	-->'''Bob''': [[Film/ASoldiersStory They still hate you!]]
44	* '''Reconstructed''':
45	** Bob finds a way to reconcile to his hatred of Tropers with his identity. Either he stops being a Troper, or gets over his hatred of them.
46	** Bob thinks of himself as an exception to the rule and sees himself as not bad as most Tropers.
47	* '''Played For Laughs''': It's painfully obvious that Bob is a Troper from the get-go. He rails against Tropers while wearing a Troper Badge.
48	* '''Played For Drama''': For a long time, [[YouAreWhatYouHate people suspected Bob was a troper despite him hating them]]. When he finally admits he is a troper, people think he finally changed his mind, only for him to reveal he hates them just as much if not more.
