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. |
