| 25 | [[folder:Types of Anime]] |
| 26 | * '''[[ShonenDemographic Shonen]]''': {{Idiot Hero}}es make the best protagonists because [[ThisLoserIsYou any teenage boy and preteen can relate to them]]. Because teenage boys are stupid, unthinking and in love with themselves for it. |
| 27 | ** GirlsHaveCooties. Thus there is nothing they can actually ''do'' to advance the plot aside from pining for the protagonist from afar, serving as decorations or healing. Girls who take action are evil bitches and must be dealt with. Either that or they can only be used for {{Fanservice}} and [[DoubleStandardAbuseFemaleOnMale comedic]] {{domestic abuse}}. |
| 28 | ** Even if the narrative repeatedly insists that she's a capable fighter, [[FauxActionGirl don't expect a girl to contribute much to fights]]. Either they will hopelessly outmatched by the villain and easily defeated, or they will stand around, looking worried while the boys do the actual fighting. |
| 29 | ** Also don't skimp on the explosions and the phallic symbols such as {{BFS}} and {{BFG}}. It's not like kids can catch up to the implications of sex. |
| 30 | ** Despite your speech about hard work, your determination to be more powerful and the friends who believed in you to be more stronger, HardWorkHardlyWorks... Because you have all the powers to be stronger with nothing. |
| 31 | ** Being a protagonist means your parents are either dead and/or will happily abandon you. |
| 32 | ** Recruiting immature prepubescent children into your military is perfectly acceptable. |
| 33 | ** Anyone other than the protagonist and sometimes Deuteragonist will be demoted to the support and/or background characters. |
| 34 | ** [[LonersAreFreaks Being a loner makes you creepy and likely to be evil]] but being idiotic and strong means you'll be loved by everyone. |
| 35 | ** Your ArchEnemy or [[TheRival rival]] will end up becoming your most trusted ally and even your best friend, [[VitriolicBestBuds even though they're still a jerk to you.]] |
| 36 | * '''[[ShoujoDemographic Shojo]]''': Teenage girls are vapid, [[HormoneAddledTeenager hormonal]], masochistic and only concerned with [[AcceptableFeminineGoalsAndTraits beauty and relationships]]. Therefore, don't make them ''do'' anything. Just have them getting [[LoveTriangle tangled in]] [[LoveDodecahedron their relationships]] and unable to stir themselves from it. That's all they're good at. |
| 37 | ** Alternatively, make them bubbly princesses, battling with an [[EvilMatriarch abusive mother]] and coming on top with the power of [[RomanticPlotTumor LIKE-OMG TRUE LOVE]]! |
| 38 | * '''{{Josei}}''': Adult women have nothing to talk about but their periods, and anything related to their roles as wives and mothers. |
| 39 | ** If they're unmarried, maybe they can work and all but they're mainly shallow bitches who are just waiting for Mr. Right, much like ''Literature/BridgetJones''. And remember the golden rule: she's NeverASelfMadeWoman. |
| 40 | * '''Many {{harem| genre}} series:''' The one who loves you the most is the one who [[{{Tsundere}} physically and verbally abuses you]] the most. |
| 41 | ** If you are caught in any kind of [[NotWhatItLooksLike seemingly indecent situation]], you will be punished for it. Regardless of whether or not it was actually your fault. |
| 42 | *** If your a girl who's more understandable yet had been involved in a situation where some boy you're in love with gets caught in a perverted act [[AccidentalPervert by accident]], and another girl shows up, don't intervene and tell her it was a big misunderstanding. Instead, just stay silent while the other girl either gives that boy an earful or knocks the ever-living stuffing out of him. |
| 43 | ** Trips to the bathroom will usually end with girls seeing you as a pervert. |
| 44 | *** In addition, when a girl walks into the room you're changing in, [[DoubleStandardAbuseFemaleOnMale you're STILL called a 'pervert']]. |
| 45 | ** The best relationships to hold are many and shallow - after all, if you can have eight sort-of-girlfriends who constantly provide you with sexy encounters, that's surely better than one actual girlfriend, right? After all, that "accountability" and "serious relationship" nonsense is just for squares who can't work the ladies as you can! |
| 46 | ** The ReverseHarem can ''only'' be about a girl being courted gentlemanly by several dudes but '''no''' sexual or risqué situations! Why? Don't be silly! [[SarcasmMode Who would want to read a story about some easy skank with no morals, anyway?]] |
| 47 | ** Marriage promises that have been made as a child, no matter who said promise was made to, must always be honored. '''''Always.''''' |
| 48 | ** If you're being stalked by a {{Yandere}}, [[StalkingIsFunnyIfItIsFemaleAfterMale especially if]] [[DoubleStandardAbuseFemaleOnMale you're a male]], don't get help because it means they love you [[MurderTheHypotenuse very]], [[IfICantHaveYou very]] much. |
| 49 | * '''Every ToBeAMaster series ever:''' Don't set your own goals, let society set them for you before you're even old enough to question it! |
| 50 | ** [[TruthInTelevision This is exactly how Japanese society (and western feudal societies as well) worked for well over a thousand years.]] [[ValuesDissonance Think about that.]] [[FridgeHorror Yeah, think about that.]] |
| 51 | * If you're not badass or you're a flat character, you're useless. |
| 52 | * Being a {{Tsundere}} or a FauxActionGirl makes you a [[RonTheDeathEater horrible, irredeemable character]], but being a {{jerkass}} [[DracoInLeatherPants villain who commits the worst atrocities]] [[DoubleStandard because you have "cool" traits, is perfectly fine.]] |
| 53 | * '''{{Hentai}} in general''': [[EverythingTryingToKillYou Everything is out to rape you]]. |
| 54 | ** [[NotIfTheyEnjoyedItRationalization But you actually like it.]] |
| 55 | ** Only if you're female. If you're male you're either the rapist, the guy whose girlfriend cheats on you with the rapist, or [[{{Uke}} so unmanly]] that the rapist considers you to be close enough. |
| 56 | ** All women are, if not openly then at least subconsciously, perverted sex addicts who will do it with anyone if pressed. No exceptions. Any women who deny this is lying to themselves and will lead to boring unfulfilled lives. |
| 57 | ** Incest and pedophilia are perfectly acceptable so long as both parties truly love each other. |
| 58 | ** A woman's attraction to you depends solely on how good you are in the sack. Looks, personality, and even personal hygiene don't matter at all. |
| 59 | ** It's okay to cheat on your significant other [[AThreesomeIsHot so long as you let him or her join in on the fun once in a while.]] |
| 60 | ** Blame any sort of morally vile perversion or sexism on the entirety of Japanese society! [[SarcasmMode Yep, all of Japan is overrun with misogynist, sex-crazed pigs! That's not racist to say at all!]] |
| 61 | * '''BoysLove aka {{Yaoi|Genre}}''': Even gays need someone to play the [[{{Seme}} man]] and someone to play the [[{{Uke}} woman]] in the relationship. |
| 62 | ** Want to make your pornographic male-on-male love story more relatable to straight women? Just make the bottom a total effeminate wimpy gay stereotype [[SarcasmMode because what woman]] [[WomenAreDelicate couldn't relate to that,]] [[SarcasmMode right?]] |
| 63 | ** If said {{Uke}} is defensive against the {{Seme}}'s advances/sexual approaches, it's not because he's unwilling, he's just shy. And if he really is resistant but the {{Seme}} attempts to take him anyway (he'll eventually enjoy it), it's hot. |
| 64 | ** It's even more romantic/cute if there is a huge age gap between the romantic duo, about ten years or so. |
| 65 | ** Women are not supposed to be here. If one shows up and she's ''not'' a YaoiFangirl, then she's a horrible bitch who is trying to come between the two main lovers. [[DieForOurShip She will be treated accordingly]]. |
| 66 | * SportsAnime and IdolGenre: It's perfectly okay to have one hobby consume your life and be all you ever talk about or think about. It's not a fixation, you're just dedicated! |
| 67 | * The {{Tsundere}}-archetype: Treating people like shit is fine so long as you're really attractive, doubly so in regards to your loved one(s). Give 'em hell! |
| 68 | ** Even more so, the weaker partner in the relationship ([[UnfortunateImplications unfortunately, all too often]] [[DoubleStandard the female]]) can get away with this when her partner is powerful enough that she wouldn't stand a chance in a fair fight. |
| 69 | ** Always choose the more violent one because everybody knows there's a thin line between love and hate. That, and all men are secretly masochists. |
| 70 | ** Now if she's a {{Yandere}}. Then you're a lucky bastard. |
| 71 | * Ladies if you must pine for a guy, always go for the perverts (well the [[ChivalrousPervert nicer ones]] of course.) Sure, you may not like getting hit on, but that quiet mannered guy who never shows any perverted tendencies whatsoever? He will most likely never touch you at all and at best his feelings for you will be strictly platonic but at worst he will just flat out ignore you. |
| 72 | * If you happen to survive a travesty then you obviously had something to do with it and shall be blamed accordingly. |
| 73 | * ''BishonenJumpSyndrome'': YaoiFangirls have [[DarthWiki/RuinedForever ruined anime forever]]! |
| 74 | * Any '''Mecha Series:''' Big Robots + CastFullOfPrettyBoys (usually) + [[CharactersDroppingLikeFlies High Death Count]] - Humor (or just some good ol' occasional [[BlackComedy Black Humor)]] = RATINGS! |
| 75 | [[/folder]] |
| 76 | ---- |
| 77 | [[folder:# - G]] |
| 78 | * ''Manga/The100GirlfriendsWhoReallyReallyReallyReallyReallyLoveYou'': If you're male, you'll get scores of girlfriends at once and they will all be willing to share you. If you're female, you have to settle for sharing one boyfriend with 99 others. |
| 79 | * The Netflix version of ''Anime/{{Aggretsuko}}'': Working in a capitalist society is evil and not meant for women, so ladies, don't even try to improve the system/your workplace from within and let a MAN do the work for you/completely change the system instead of merely fixing its faults instead. |
| 80 | ** If you want to pursue a relationship, just keep moping over how hopeless you are until the object of your affection comes around. |
| 81 | ** Being traumatized due to surviving a murder attempt makes you a coward. |
| 82 | * ''Manga/AkameGaKill'': [[MurderIsTheBestSolution Murder isn't the best solution]], it's the ''only'' solution. Disagree with someone? Pull out your InfinityPlusOneSword and splatter that guy's guts across the street. Also, don't worry about PTSD or anything like that, those guys were so evil that you could kill a hundred of them without feeling any emotional repercussions at all. |
| 83 | ** Also if you are in a band of Assassins then you should never consider yourself heroic. Oh what's that your crew is actually pretty good at NeverHurtAnInnocent and your main foe (alongside with most of your adversaries) is a horribly depraved CompleteMonster? Heh merely irrelevant details. |
| 84 | * ''Angel Blade'': |
| 85 | ** All women are lesbians, or at least bi-curious. |
| 86 | ** Sex is an act of dominance and nothing else. |
| 87 | * ''Anime/AnimalDetectivesKiruminzoo'': [[FeudEpisode Episode 7]]: Fighting with others is good to relieve stress. |
| 88 | * ''Literature/{{Another}}'': Social ostracism in high school isn't bullying, but a legitimate safety measure. [[spoiler:[[MurderIsTheBestSolution Murder works even better though]]]]. |
| 89 | * ''Anime/AquarionEvol'': Falling in love is wrong, for the BigBad will come and kill them. |
| 90 | ** And you're supposed to apologize to him since his fiancé reincarnation fell in love with you. |
| 91 | * ''Anime/{{Arrietty}}'': Trying to open up and connect with other people will only scare them away at best, leave you vulnerable to being hurt at worst, and is ultimately futile as we all end up alone in the end, anyway. Which is probably for the best. |
| 92 | * ''Manga/AssassinationClassroom'': Training underage students to kill an unstoppable HumanoidAbomination is the best way to improve their self-confidence and academic abilities. |
| 93 | ** World-destroying tentacle monsters and ruthless assassins make excellent teachers. |
| 94 | ** Discrimination and bullying will improve your school's overall test scores. |
| 95 | ** A fourteen-year-old kid threatening murder is not only perfectly normal behavior but also heroic depending on the situation. |
| 96 | ** If your parents are divorced and your mom is abusive to you, you need to take the abuse so that your parents will get back together. If your mom drugs you, and plans to pin a crime on you, save her life and then offer to make breakfast. She's stressed out but sane. |
| 97 | * ''Anime/AttackerYou'': |
| 98 | ** Being dedicated to a sport (volleyball, in this case) means you have no time for anything else. It's impossible to pratice volleyball and have a love life at the same time. |
| 99 | ** Playing volleyball is a good reason for ParentalAbandonment. |
| 100 | ** Physical abuse can be a very good teaching method if you want to improve your athletic skills. So, don't worry if your coach slaps you hard until you bleed, he's just doing his job. |
| 101 | ** When you start to practice a sport at a professional level, forget about all your old friends. You can still hang out with friends to talk about volleyball, but only if the friends are also professional players. |
| 102 | * ''Manga/AttackOnTitan'': |
| 103 | ** It's okay to have genocidal rage as long as it's against the right people. |
| 104 | ** It's okay to turn your son into the very thing that he hates, as long as he can kill them more effectively. |
| 105 | ** Let RoaringRampageOfRevenge be your main motivation for your goals; no one is going to call you out on that. |
| 106 | ** The government is secretly hindering mankind from technologically progressing. So by all means, form a rebellion against them. Governments are evil. |
| 107 | ** Religious people are insane fanatics who only make stuff up. Or, at least they know something important you don't, so suspect them first and foremost! |
| 108 | ** You're not TheChosenOne, so you suck, should lose all confidence you have in yourself, and give up completely. |
| 109 | ** Murder is justifiable as long as you were protecting somebody while doing it. Y'know what? Screw it, murder is really the best course of action, anytime, anywhere. |
| 110 | ** If you deliver letters for an injured war veteran, you'll doom the world. |
| 111 | ** It's okay to [[spoiler: destroy most of the world for revenge, your friends won't mind, call you great and even thank you for destroying the world.]] |
| 112 | ** It's alright for a person who [[spoiler: killed most of your people to become an ambassador of peace.]] |
| 113 | * ''Manga/AzumangaDaioh'': If you desperately want a cat, but [[AnimalsHateHim house cats really hate you]], you should go to a national park and take a [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iriomote_Cat critically endangered]] [[AllAnimalsAreDomesticated wild cat]] home with you. |
| 114 | ** High school girls are insane. |
| 115 | *** High school ''teachers'' are even ''more'' off-kilter. |
| 116 | ** That creepy pedophile high school teacher who's always coming on to his female students? There's nothing wrong with him at all, he's just good for a laugh! So don't report him to the authorities or anything, because there's no way anything bad could possibly come of allowing this man to continue to teach underage girls. |
| 117 | ** It's totally okay to perv on high school girls as long as you donate to charity and do volunteer work afterwards. |
| 118 | * ''Literature/{{Baccano}}'': [[DamnItFeelsGoodToBeAGangster Organized crime is]] ''[[WorldOfBadass awesome]]''. |
| 119 | ** Even disorganized can pay. Pointless arson can make you immortal! |
| 120 | ** Killing someone is the best way to make yourself feel happy. |
| 121 | * ''Literature/BakaAndTestSummonTheBeasts'': Even if a girl orders you around all the time and almost kills you daily if you even look at another girl, it's totally okay if she's hot or shy occasionally, and your friends will enable her and try to trap you in a marriage with her. |
| 122 | ** Leaving during the middle of a test regardless if it is an emergency equals failure. |
| 123 | ** It's okay to assault paying customers if they complain, but if they get mad and attempt to get payback, they're bastards. |
| 124 | ** It's okay to use explosives to stop someone if they are interfering with your plans. All you'll get is a slight callout. |
| 125 | ** Don't try to pull a IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy scheme by helping that cute smart girl get ahead to a class that is more suitable for her. In which she tries to deliberately fail the test so she can stay with your failure class and everyone will treat you like an idiot for it. |
| 126 | ** All women are violent psychos and future domestic abusers who will [[HairTriggerTemper assault men for ridiculous reasons]], and all men are spineless doormats and masochists who will still fall in love with and defend women no matter how much they get abused. |
| 127 | * ''Literature/{{Bakemonogatari}}'': |
| 128 | ** It's not okay to hit kids... unless, of course, you tell them why you're doing it. Then you can go ahead and clobber that little girl. No one will mind! |
| 129 | ** So you saved a girl from the demon possessing her, became her first real friend, and nearly died in the process? Nope, the girl who repeatedly threatens you with death inflicts bodily harm on you, and once kidnapped you just for saying the name of a person she dislikes is obviously the better match for you. |
| 130 | ** You can never win on your own. ''Never''. No matter how determined or angry you are, you will always be beat into a bloody pulp until someone else makes the save at just the right moment. |
| 131 | ** Stripping/harassing/kissing [[IncestSubtext siblings]] doesn't count toward virginity. |
| 132 | ** If you are evil and want to change your ways, too bad. [[HeelFaceDoorSlam If you attempt to do good, for example saving the lives of two people that despise you, no one will appreciate it and you'll be worse off than when you started.]] |
| 133 | * ''Manga/{{Basilisk}}'': If you happen to be born as a ninja, your whole life is already totally fucked. Have a nice death. |
| 134 | ** Once you become aware of the bigger picture that everyone you've ever known and loved was senselessly sacrificed for, the only option you have is to senselessly sacrifice yourself as well. |
| 135 | * ''Manga/{{Beastars}}'': If there's a massive sentient being meat operation going on in broad daylight, the police will do nothing about it. |
| 136 | ** Become a mob boss because society is inherently corrupt. It'll be fine. |
| 137 | ** All vegetarians/vegans are masochists, idiots, or masochistic idiots. |
| 138 | ** Mammals, birds, and reptiles are sapient. Amphibians, fish, and invertebrates are not. |
| 139 | ** They are no such things as omnivores (those that eat meat ''and'' fruits and veggies). |
| 140 | ** Prejudice between two races can be solved by letting one race eat the members of a third. Don't worry, they won't mind! |
| 141 | ** There's nothing wrong with eugenics. In fact, it'll lead to smarter and less aggressive people. Because [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything some people are naturally aggressive cause of their genetics.]] |
| 142 | ** The creepy loner who wants to eat you is your true love. |
| 143 | * ''Manga/{{Berserk}}'': |
| 144 | ** Did thousands of innocent civilians just die because you killed the person protecting them from a horde of demons immune to normal weapons? It's not your fault, they were just too weak-willed to survive anyways! |
| 145 | ** Real friends would ''want'' you to sell your AND their soul to Hell in order for you to achieve your personal goals in life. [[ItsAllAboutMe That ain't selfishness]] - that's the real PowerOfFriendship! |
| 146 | ** But, no matter what life brings to you, you can always triumph over your trials, [[ScrewDestiny because causality has no hold over you in the end]]. At the end of the day, the bad guys will lose, [[JusticeWillPrevail justice will be served to the suffering]], [[TheGoodGuysAlwaysWin and the good guys will triumph over all]], [[BigDamnHeroes because they come in just in the nick of time]] [[EverybodyLives to save everybody]] from the BigBad. [[AlwaysSaveTheGirl Including the girl]]. [[EarnYourHappyEnding IT WILL HAPPEN]]. ''[[HappilyEverAfter ALWAYS]]''. '''[[BabiesEverAfter WITH BABIES]]'''. |
| 147 | ** Don't ever quit your job because you want to go on your own path otherwise you will end up causing a chain of events that end up leading the world to be in a demon-infested ruin. Of course it's all thanks to your old boss who really has a [[IfICantHaveYou problem with rejection]]. |
| 148 | ** [[https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/001/407/432/91d.jpg Believe in something. Even if it means sacrificing everything.]] |
| 149 | * ''Manga/BGataHKei'': That cute impressionable teenage girl who claims she will easily have sex with over 100 guys? Eh don't worry about her, her promiscuous personality is just nothing but talk anyway so don't take it too seriously. |
| 150 | ** Are there Teenagers who want sex even if they are too young? Don't worry about it Teens are way too stupid to actually do anything about it. |
| 151 | * ''Literature/BlackBullet'': The little girl who tried to snipe the president twice is completely free of all blame. The guy who tried to kill said girl? A bastard and he deserves to be shot on sight. |
| 152 | * ''Manga/BlackClover'': [[ToBeAMaster Become the best]] so you can bang a nun. |
| 153 | ** '''All''' rich and upper middle-class people are snobby, prejudiced assholes. |
| 154 | ** If you don't come from money, all your efforts to rise up through the ranks will be for naught. |
| 155 | ** What, you experienced [[FreudianExcuse a horrific tragedy that killed all your people]]? Well, you don't deserve sympathy, because other people who have been through similar (or lesser) misfortunes turned out just fine. |
| 156 | ** If your abusive family member(s) who constantly smacked you around and berated you for being weak now suddenly loves and respects you now that you're strong, don't question it; they've had a genuine change of heart. |
| 157 | ** An innocent 10-year-old girl deserves to be executed for a crime she didn't commit, but devil-worshipping cultists who ''actually'' murdered people should be let off the hook and exiled. |
| 158 | ** It's OK to be a selfish glutton who puts an entire town on the brink of starvation by hoarding all their rations for yourself, but if someone ''dares'' to try and take ''YOUR'' food without your permission (or God forbid, reclaim what's rightfully theirs), beat the ''living'' '''''dogshit''''' out of them, unless their name happens to be [[ChickMagnet Yuno]]. |
| 159 | *** Also, that massive glutton who eats enough food to put a [[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} Snorlax]] to shame should be allowed to take part in ''all'' your guild's eating contests. It's not completely unfair to the other participants at all! |
| 160 | ** It doesn't matter if your oldest sibling is an abusive [[{{Jerkass}} Jerkass]] who bullied you when you were little, even going so far as to say [[YouShouldHaveDiedInstead you should have died instead of your mother,]] [[DeathByChildbirth who died from childbirth]] (even though [[spoiler: it was really a demon's [[TheScottishTrope curse]] that did her in).]] If he suddenly gives you a half-assed apology years later, you should forgive him - he was just keeping you from following your ambitions because he didn't think you could handle yourself in combat. Even when it's revealed that your brother [[spoiler: knew full well the true circumstances behind your mother's death the whole time and]] still chose to spend all those years horrifically abusing you and [[BystanderSyndrome allowing his other two siblings to do the same]] instead of treating you like an actual human being, all of that should be promptly swept under the rug and forgiven. Because it shows just how much he truly loves and cares about you. |
| 161 | * ''Manga/BlackLagoon'': Women are insane. |
| 162 | ** {{Nice Guy}}s [[ThisLoserIsYou suck]]. If you want to get out alive you have to be just as nasty as the people around you. |
| 163 | ** Having a DarkAndTroubledPast means that you can go around killing people. In fact, it makes you all the more [[NominalHero heroic]]. |
| 164 | ** If you are in a place with a bunch of murderous criminals, always hang out with the ones who are are miserable about their [[DarkAndTroubledPast past]] because they are less likely to kill you. If you find a murderous criminal who is openly happy about their murderous past, RUN! |
| 165 | ** Go ahead, keep hanging out with that gang of murderous criminals you've befriended. Sure, you will end up having your life threatened on a regular basis, and you will be increasingly depressed about how immoral the people you work with can be. But under no circumstances should you ever try to go back to an honest life even if your comrades have offered you the chance to. I mean, it's still better than living the life of a Japanese salaryman right? |
| 166 | * ''Anime/BlackRockShooter'': The best way to solve the emotional problems of others is to have your darker persona murder them. |
| 167 | * ''Manga/{{Bleach}}'': You know that sweet-natured girl who recently developed [[WindsOfDestinyChange special powers]] the BigBad is sure to take an interest in for purposes of reactivating the long-dormant ArtifactOfDoom? Well, whatever you do, don't sit her down and explain the situation to her, don't take any kind of measures to ensure her safety, and most certainly don't even bother to keep track of her whereabouts or status. We're sure it'll all work out just fine in the end... |
| 168 | ** Yeah, and when that girl disappears let's immediately assume she's [[FaceHeelTurn joined the enemy]]. |
| 169 | ** Also, it's perfectly okay to die because said girl will just bring you back to life. |
| 170 | ** You know that execution order you allegedly received from those 46 big-wigs you practically never get to meet with in person? Yeah, just go ahead and carry it out without so much as getting confirmation or authentication on it. After all, what are the odds that [[BatmanGambit some scoundrel and his co-conspirators could be playing you for fools.]] |
| 171 | ** It's okay to stand there and do nothing while your comrades are unintentionally ganging up on a fellow ally. |
| 172 | ** It's perfectly normal to wake up and see major portions of your city destroyed by a car accident. DO NOT QUESTION IT! |
| 173 | ** Getting stabbed in the chest makes you stronger. |
| 174 | ** It's okay for '''''EVERYBODY''''' to put their faith in a 15-year-old. |
| 175 | ** It's perfectly reasonable for your society to be run by a group of 46 people whose authority can never be questioned no matter how incredibly bad their judgment frequently turns out to be. Also, a senile old fool is just the person you want to be the supreme commander of your society's military. |
| 176 | *** [[TruthInTelevision That's basically how non-democratic societies actually work.]] |
| 177 | ** Silence woman! Sit back, StayInTheKitchen, and watch me rescue you whether you want me to or not. |
| 178 | ** If violence isn't solving all your problems, you simply aren't using enough of it. |
| 179 | ** You should make it your life's mission to groom someone into becoming a WorthyOpponent, ''then'' proceed to flip your shit when they actually give you the challenge you wanted, [[CurbStompBattle and then some]]. |
| 180 | ** What, a ''woman'' is a MasterSwordsman?! Foolish woman, know your place, for you are not the strongest. You're just a stepping stone. |
| 181 | ** If your SuperpoweredEvilSide takes care of an opponent who you otherwise couldn't hope to beat, insist on crippling yourself down to his level. Achieving a fair win is way more important than saving the DamselInDistress that you came all this way for. |
| 182 | ** When someone from a race you thought you had extinguished years ago invades your base, just ignore the most proficient analyst on your team when he warns you that there may be more survivors who are feeling rather vindictive towards you and your army. Then lay the blame on his door when the remnants of said race kill your best friend and declare war against you. |
| 183 | ** The best strategy for an opponent that you know can do ''something'' to your strongest weapon is to pull out said strongest weapon and see what happens. |

| 188 | * ''Manga/BlueExorcist:'' There is no god and no heaven, but hell and Satan are real. |
| 189 | * ''Anime/BlueGender'': Through the use of sustainable technology and orbital biodomes, one can preserve our planet's integrity even when humanity's energy and resource requirements begin to exceed the planet's ability to fulfil them. [[note]]Think this is out of place here? Well, since the ''canon'' aesop is basically "ScienceIsBad and SocialDarwinism is awesome, so humanity should just go back to nature even if it means allowing millions of people to die as a result", it's ''still'' an appropriate warping.[[/note]] |
| 190 | * "Anime/TheBraveFighterOfLegendDaGarn": An eco-terrorist, a ManipulativeBastard, and a grown woman who flirts with a preteen boy all deserve redemption. But a man obsessed with battle trophies? That git can go fuck himself. |
| 191 | * ''Anime/BuddyDaddies'': People can turn their life around if they are mass-murdering hitmen, but if you're a bad mom, go get cancer and die. |
| 192 | * ''Manga/CaptainTsubasa'': |
| 193 | ** Soccer matches of middle school teams are broadcast on TV around the world. And the omnipresent commentator is always the same guy. |
| 194 | ** Soccer players have eternally long inner monologues and flashbacks while they are running. It's not like they should just focus on the ball, they can spend entire minutes lost in their thoughts during a match. |
| 195 | ** Soccer players are acrobats who can jump to the sky, and their shots are so powerful that they can blow the goalkeeper away, or break the goal and the wall behind it. They are skilled enough to break the laws of physics. |
| 196 | ** Even if you have multiple injuries, just keep playing. |
| 197 | ** If one player has a heart disease and falls to the ground during a match, just ignore him and keep the ball in play. |
| 198 | ** You can be a lousy player, but if you are a close friend to TheAce of your team, you have a good chance to be chosen for the national team. |
| 199 | ** The soccer field is ''infinitely'' long.. After running for hours, you will finally be able to see the opponent's goal. Maybe. |
| 200 | ** Openly knocking all your opponents down during a game makes you a badass. The referee just doesn't care. |
| 201 | * ''Manga/CardcaptorSakura'': |
| 202 | ** It's okay to film your best friend's every move. |

| 205 | ** It's okay to erase everyone from existence if you are cute and have a tragic backstory. |

| 208 | * ''Manga/CaseClosed'': |
| 209 | ** See something suspicious going on when you are a decently known genius, high-school detective? Immediately investigate without having any back-up to protect you or even a weapon on yourself. [[SarcasmMode Nothing could]] ''[[SarcasmMode possibly]]'' [[SarcasmMode go wrong]]! |
| 210 | ** ThereAreNoTherapists and you don't need them after seeing a dead body. |
| 211 | *** Also, it's ''totally'' not emotionally or mentally damaging to see a corpse, whether you are a girl, boy, an elementary, high school student or even an adult. |
| 212 | ** [[InsaneTrollLogic Alcohol is evil because it'll identify you as it being your nickname for a terrible organization]]. |
| 213 | ** Are you a woman planning to commit a murder? Well, make sure to do it in a way that seems to require some physical prowess and you will immediately be free of suspicion because you are a woman and hence ''cannot possibly do anything that somehow requires any physical exertion''. |
| 214 | ** Repeatedly falling asleep at crime scenes you're supposed to be investigating is a great way to improve your reputation and get work. |

| 221 | * ''Literature/ACertainMagicalIndex'': Every problem is solvable by [[ViolenceReallyIsTheAnswer a punch to the face]]. |
| 222 | ** Specifically, nuns and priests should be fed a knuckle-sandwich regularly to keep away their innate evilness. |
| 223 | ** Plus, [[DefeatMeansFriendship beating up women makes them love you.]] |
| 224 | ** Science is bad. Religion is worse! |
| 225 | * ''VisualNovel/{{Clannad}}'': Hey guys! Want to become a {{Delinquent}} with real delinquent cred quickly and easily? Help random girls with their problems! |
| 226 | ** If you want to help your siblings be happy again, the best way to go about it is to talk to their friends without him knowing. Did that ultimately lead to them being ostracized and getting into a fight? That just shows you how much they love you. |
| 227 | ** Marry and start a family as soon as you graduate high school. It's not like you're throwing away the best years of your life or anything...[[SarcasmMode cleaning diapers is so fun!]] |
| 228 | * ''Manga/{{Claymore}}'': [[ScienceIsBad Doing unspeakable experiments on little orphans and secretly oppressing an entire continent's worth of inhabitants with monsters that you created is ]]''[[ScienceIsBad totally]]'' [[ScienceIsBad fine]] [[LensmanArmsRace so long as it'll result in your side winning that war!]] |
| 229 | ** Having your family murdered by monsters while you're still a little girl, even better if done right before your very eyes, only to then be kidnapped by morally ambiguous black long coats and having the flesh and blood of said monster transplanted into you so that you can become a half-monster killer that is feared and despised by all and has an extremely short life expectancy ''is totally fine''. Because that will allow you to develop meaningful emotional bonds with your fellow comrades that will teach you what's like to be truly Human. And then you will die. |
| 230 | *** However, if you are one of the monsters, then don't ever try to show any kind of affection, care or even just help for either other monsters or humans, [[NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished it]] ''[[NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished will]]'' [[NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished get you killed sooner or later]]. |

| 232 | * ''Anime/CodeGeass'': Only by abandoning all morality and honor can evil be defeated. |
| 233 | ** The Japanese nationalists are right about ''gaijin''. East Asia can only count on each other, as the rest of the world is either unimportant or evil. |
| 234 | *** But they still need to be led by Westerners as they are too weak and useless to stand up. |
| 235 | ** Women are useless, only able to be an extension of the man, and will only cause trouble if given a free opinion. |
| 236 | *** Alternate Interpretation: All women secretly desire to be June Cleaver. Any woman who tries to act strong or independent is just putting on airs and needs to find a man and learn to embrace her inner housewife before she gets hurt. |
| 237 | ** Democracy will cause you to elect someone incompetent like Ohgi. |
| 238 | *** Speaking of Ohgi, it's perfectly okay to get ahead by turning on someone. |
| 239 | *** Also speaking of Ohgi, someone who betrayed you, tried to kill you, and who influenced you to betray your leader is a great wife. |

| 241 | ** If your parents aren't misguided and deeply scarred from the upbringing they tried to shelter you from, they're monsters who abandoned you and you should punish the rest of the world for it. |

| 244 | ** Only those with RoyalBlood can effect real change in the world. |

| 246 | ** The U.N. should be run by 15-year-old girls with ties to revolutionary groups that have questionable records in adhering to international laws. |
| 247 | ** The best way to make a better world for your dear sister is to have the world view you, the brother she loves and respects most of all, as evil. |
| 248 | ** [[ItsNotYouItsMyEnemies To keep those close to you safe and out of danger]] you must become a total JerkAss. |
| 249 | ** It doesn't matter how many war crimes you commit, or innocent lives you directly or indirectly took. If your MoralityPet little sister is killed with her reputation in tatters, you are automatically absolved of any and all responsibility for your past evil misdeeds. |
| 250 | ** You can't hope to change the system from within because the ruling class is made up of a) racist, evil assholes or b) naïve idiots. The only way to change the world for the better is to become a terrorist. Having giant robots and superpowers helps too. |
| 251 | ** When all is going according to plan [[TemptingFate do not comment on it]] because the universe loves proving you wrong. |
| 252 | ** If someone has sworn to protect you and your family, it doesn't matter if you start a war against their country, ruin their career, indirectly get them turned into a cyborg, and try to kill them multiple times. Everything will be forgiven the moment you reveal who you really are. |
| 253 | ** The best way to show your devotion to sweet, pacifist girls, is to start a bloodbath and pretend you did it for them (at least three girls get this treatment: Nunnally and Shirley for Lelouch, Euphie for Suzaku). |
| 254 | ** No matter how much of a jealous {{Yandere}} you've proven yourself to be, no matter how much you hurt someone by murdering their LoveInterest in cold blood, you will always [[EasilyForgiven be forgiven]] in your dying moments by the person you hurt the most. |
| 255 | * ''Creature Girls: A Hands-On Field Journal in Another World'': Rape is not only acceptable, but it's the answer to everything! |
| 256 | * ''Anime/CuteHighEarthDefenseClubLove'': LoveRedeems. Love, in fact, redeems so hard it can turn a {{Yandere}} into a fluffy love interest. |
| 257 | * ''Anime/CyberpunkEdgerunners'': |
| 258 | ** The best way to honor your mother's tragic passing? Getting yourself expelled from the academy she enrolled you in and joining a criminal gang, effectively rendering all those years of pain, exhaustion, prejudice and brutality she endured for your sake completely pointless. |
| 259 | ** A shady, egocentric [[{{Jerkass}} jerkass]] who is well-known for putting his clients in extremely perilous situations and [[spoiler: betraying them at a moment's notice]] is someone you can trust, and should keep taking jobs from indefinitely. |
| 260 | ** If you see a homeless guy pissing on the streets, ''leave him the hell alone''. He's actually [[spoiler: a psychotic and merciless killer]]. |
| 261 | ** If your boyfriend is on a psychological downward spiral from all the cybernetic implants he's had installed, then it's best that he have absolutely ''no knowledge'' of a [[MiniMecha huge suit of armor]] he has no practical use for, never mind the more numerous and affordable implants he can get his hands on. You should go on a secret mission to stop the procession of said impractical armored suit and kill those who have any knowledge of it, rather than just sitting down and discussing your true feelings with him. |
| 262 | ** META: So did you just cause your reputation to go down becaue you ChristmasRushed a game to the point it got pulled from stores, included problematic elements with regards to transgender people, and put your workers into constant crunch time?

| 263 | * ''Anime/Danganronpa3TheEndOfHopesPeakHighSchool'': Peer pressure will save the world. |
| 264 | * ''Anime/DarlingInTheFranxx'': Communication and experience are completely irrelevant to having a fulfilling sex life. If sex with someone is unsatisfying the first time around, it will '''always''' be unsatisfying and you should just dump the person right now. |
| 265 | ** It is not wrong to flirt with someone who has repeatedly indicated he's not interested in you and already has a girlfriend. |

| 267 | ** Never destroy a man's calculations. [[FreakOut He will flip shit.]] |
| 268 | * ''Manga/DemonSlayerKimetsuNoYaiba'': It turns out that crazy old hermit who lives in the forest was right about monsters existing, after all. |
| 269 | ** It's important to insert [[MoodWhiplash wacky, comedic moments smack dab in the middle of dark, serious situations]]. It isn't distracting or tension-killing in the slightest. |
| 270 | ** Demons are tragic creatures who should be sympathized with, no matter how many innocents they kill...[[ProtagonistCenteredMorality unless they kill somebody close to you, in which case, they deserve no pity and must die]]. |

| 272 | * ''Anime/DigimonAdventure02'': |
| 273 | ** Remember, girls, being a tomboy is bad. HouseWife type girls are the only way to go. |
| 274 | ** If the big, ugly monster is about to conquer the world, the best way to defeat it is to make some stupid speeches about your wishes, such as how you want to be a kindergarten teacher or an artist. It always works. |
| 275 | * ''Anime/DigimonTamers'': Garbage collectors are evil. |
| 276 | * ''Anime/DigimonFrontier'': Girls are useless. Period. |
| 277 | * ''Anime/DigimonDataSquad'': You can solve all of your problems by punching them hard enough. |
| 278 | * ''Manga/{{Doraemon}}'': |
| 279 | ** Don't bother trying to improve your life if you're a loser, you'll get an adorable robot with a bunch of gadgets to take you on exciting adventures because of this! |
| 280 | ** Don't worry if now you are a loser who can't do anything right, just wait a few years and one day you will marry the prettiest girl in town even if she could easily do better than you. |
| 281 | ** Weak and unintelligent/untalented people deserve to be bullied and picked on every day. |
| 282 | ** You know the bullies who always torment you at school? They are clearly your best friends! Keep hanging out with them. |
| 283 | * ''Anime/DuelMasters'': The path to victory lies not through practice, cunning, skill, or wealth. If you want to be a winner, your number-one priority should be your hair. |
| 284 | * ''Literature/{{Durarara}}'': Using random people from the internet as your own personal army is the optimum way to solve your problems. |
| 285 | ** Falling in love with a severed head is sick and wrong; falling in love with a headless body is sweet and romantic. |
| 286 | ** Dropping out of school, cutting off contact with all but one of your friends and running away with your girlfriend at fifteen is perfectly acceptable. |
| 287 | * ''Anime/EarthMaidenArjuna'': Civilization is bad because it puts us beyond the hardship and suffering that are supposed to be our lot in life. |
| 288 | * ''Anime/EdenOfTheEast'': Hook up with strange, amnesiac men who walk up to you naked in broad daylight, ESPECIALLY if they're holding a pistol, chances are that they're rich….. |
| 289 | * ''Manga/EdensZero'': Whatever you do never EVER let any ladies become truly rich & famous otherwise all the fame & wealth will immediately go to their heads and any remaining sense of decency they had will go downhill immediately. Did she become a famous internet celebrity influencer? Then she will become a haughty AlphaBitch who will treat her former friend like dirt every chance she gets with sociopathic glee. Now if she has any political power then you REALLY need to beware as she will become a vindictive UngratefulBitch CompleteMonster who will forsake anyone even her own daughter for money & power. |
| 290 | ** We should not revive androids even if we have a good copy of her memories & all of her necessary data. But since we don't have ALL of her memories (even with that infocube she left behind before she died) and she did make quite a HeroicSacrifice so she should stay dead. Wanting to do otherwise would be unethical. Now turning a dying cat into a cat-shaped android to save his life is perfectly okay though. |
| 291 | * ''Manga/ElfenLied'': Genocide solves all your problems. |
| 292 | ** It's perfectly acceptable to [[BullyingADragon harass, persecute,]] [[MuggingTheMonster bully, and antagonize]] little girls for their [[AllOfTheOtherReindeer birth defects]] [[WhosLaughingNow and then complain about the]] [[WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds results when the victim snaps and retaliates.]] |
| 293 | ** You have to marry your cousin [[ChildhoodMarriagePromise because she made you promise you would when you were like eight.]] |
| 294 | ** [[GetAholdOfYourselfMan Slapping]] [[HystericalWoman Hysterical Women]] [[GetAholdOfYourselfMan is good for them]], even if they have every right to FreakOut having just witnessed a gruesome murder, are a rape victim, or end up AloneWithThePsycho who made them a quadruple amputee. |
| 295 | ** [[DudeNotFunny Naked, mentally retarded girls are funny.]] |
| 296 | *** Also incredibly sexy. |
| 297 | ** Men are so evil that a guy who regularly [[MoralEventHorizon euthanizes children]] can be the second-most likeable male in the world. |
| 298 | ** Sometimes murdering people based on how they were born is a moral gray area. After all, they might have been [[FantasticAesop born with a genetic condition that causes them to kill their parents at age three and want to (and be capable of) single-handedly destroying humanity.]] |
| 299 | ** HumansAreTheRealMonsters and deserve to die. |

| 305 | * ''Anime/TheVisionOfEscaflowne'': The quickest way to stop a war is [[spoiler:a half-naked teenage boy flying overhead.]] |
| 306 | * ''Manga/FairyTail'': |
| 307 | ** ThePowerOfFriendship is for beating the shit out of people to get revenge for hurting your TrueCompanions, even in the cases where this doesn't actually do anything to protect them and just leads to more of them getting hurt. This will also never have any negative consequences. |
| 308 | ** For the Fighting Festival Arc... Tried to hatch a plan to take over your guild by getting most of your fellow members brutalized? But then end up launching an attack that could slaughter all the innocent people in town? Heh, don't worry about it if the guild manages to thwart your plans. The worst thing that could happen is that you'll get kicked out of the guild and just walk away. But that only applies to you, as your lackeys can happily stay despite being very much involved in your violent shenanigans. |
| 309 | ** It's terrible for the enemy to stealthily incapacitate one of your teammates, yet it's perfectly fine for you to storm into another team's residence as they're sleeping and mow down a good chunk of their men over matters that ultimately don't concern you. Then you can still be shocked and furious when they brutalize another of your teammates in a technically legal situation. |
| 310 | ** During a tag battle, you may push your partner out of the fight over a petty argument to solo the opposing duo renowned for their teamwork. Not only will you easily win, but ''they're'' the ones who need to learn a thing or two about ThePowerOfFriendship. |
| 311 | ** How do stop you stop your childhood friend from exacting vengeance on your would-be boyfriend for atrocities he performed while BrainwashedAndCrazy? Don't bother explaining that irrelevant point and just insist that she forget about what he did. |
| 312 | ** The best way to get a guy you want is to [[StalkingIsFunnyIfITIsFemaleAfterMale obsessively stalk him]], even after he bluntly turns you down. But any guy obsessed with you will need to learn their lesson, and then pressure the target of your affection to accept you. |
| 313 | ** People wearing lipstick are evil (unless they are crossdressers). |
| 314 | ** Suffer from incredibly acute motion sickness? Take as many unnecessary train journeys as possible! And announce your weakness to everyone you meet. [[SarcasmMode It's not like they'll exploit it to defeat you in battle or anything.]] |
| 315 | ** If you discover that a former member of your defunct AdventureGuild has joined another guild since you broke up, you should do everything in your power to force her to come back. How dare she move on and make new friends! |
| 316 | ** It matters not if you're among the weakest of your team's mages in terms of magic power, feel free to waste every ounce of precious mana using your ultimate attack on the far more powerful and experienced [[TheDragon Dragon]], and then be surprised when he [[NoSell tanks it]]. ''Twice''. |
| 317 | * ''Literature/TheFamiliarOfZero'': Hey girls! Remember, if a boy annoys you, to even the smallest degree, physical violence is your friend! Whether it's punching him in the face, striking him with a bottle, or kicking him in the testicles every technique is a winner! |
| 318 | ** This holds especially true if he was summoned by you from another world and you made him your slave by magic! Just keep abusing him and he'll fall madly in love with you. Special points if you harass and insult him for being nice to other girls who are actually decent because you're jealous. |
| 319 | ** What if you're that guy who was taken against his will to another world, forced to be a slave, and abused regularly? What's the best course of action to take? Call the girl out? Refuse to do her bidding? Find another master? Nope, the correct answer is become a leering pervert! This has the bonus of making the girl go head over heels for you! |
| 320 | ** When deciding whether or not you should take advantage of an ally's [[DangerousForbiddenTechnique superpower that drains their life force]] and [[DeadlyUpgrade carries a risk of killing them outright]], you are under no obligation whatsoever to consider the opinion of the person whose life is actually at risk, nor even to inform them of what is going on. This rule applies whether you are trying to exploit that power for your own ends in a manipulative way OR prevent it from being used to save the lives of yourself and others. |
| 321 | ** When a third party endangers your boyfriend's health without permission for the greater good, you are justified in being angry about it, but there's nothing wrong with you verbally and physically abusing said boyfriend yourself, even if you use explosives to do so. |
| 322 | ** Also, the Pope is evil. |
| 323 | * ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight'': |
| 324 | ** your life has no meaning, unless you try and throw it away at every opportunity. On the bright side, this will make women love you. |

| 326 | * ''VisualNovel/FinalApproach'': invade a guy's life and suffocate him with unwanted affection 24/7 and he'll grow to love you eventually. |

| 328 | ** If you don't have a tragic backstory, you're a pathetic punching bag whose entire purpose is to be mocked over and over from all sides. |
| 329 | ** "Haijima Industries Arc": Beating children is good, because at least you're not like those monsters who encourage their children to work hard and be successful. |
| 330 | * ''Manga/FistOfTheNorthStar'': anyone who experienced some modicum of tragedy in their lives is a noble person and deserves to be mourned, even if they worked thousands of children to death in slave labor. |
| 331 | * ''Manga/FruitsBasket'': All parents suck, and all adults are worthless and manipulative. |
| 332 | ** Alternatively, if you are an actually loving parent to your child '''you will die'''! |
| 333 | ** Or, alternatively, a person should get pity for their situation when it's caused by someone else, but you shouldn't feel anger at whoever ''caused'' that situation in the first place, because that makes ''you'' a bad person. |
| 334 | ** Girls, go ahead and move in with those single men you barely know. Your family doesn't care about you anyway. |
| 335 | ** If you have deep mental issues rooting from deep abuse or parental abandonment, all you really needed was a maternal influence to sort it out. Nobody need be held responsible. |
| 336 | ** Also, kindness is the best response to every problem ever. |

| 342 | ** Having lost an arm and a leg gives you the moral right to berate non-amputee people suffering an emotional breakdown for being {{wangst}}y.

Don't worry, they'll thank you for opening their eyes afterwards. |
| 343 | ** Killing someone for the sake of revenge is a terrible act, which may cause you to go JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope. It's so much better if one of your allies, who doesn't have a personal reason to do it, kills that person instead. |

| 345 | *** Ed at the beginning of the series: I don't believe in revenge. It's pointless. |

| 351 | *** Unless it's your father's fault, in which case you still have to clean up the mess. |
| 352 | ** Challenging societal norms is evil and blasphemous, and you'll suffer for it whether it was intentional or not. |
| 353 | ** All religions practice creepy superstitious stuff/are led by hypocritical a-holes, so stay clear of them. None of them can be trusted. |
| 354 | ** What's that? Your artificial limbs had an accident that was out of your control? Hey, you totally deserved that WrenchWhack! It's your fault you ruined your girlfriend's masterpiece! |
| 355 | *** If you're Winry, and your latest automail mods went awry, that's just your boyfriend being stupid, so make sure he knows his place by givin' 'im your trusty ol' spanner-in-the-face. |

| 358 | ** Also, TB isn't contagious and you should pretend nothing happened should your best friend/brother-substitute start puking blood. He only becomes completely dispensable when you find the brother he was a substitute for. |
| 359 | ** If a discriminated group of people are stereotyped as untrustworthy thieves, believe it. Befriending and trusting one will result in them backstabbing you and everything you love for their own personal gain. |
| 360 | * ''Literature/FullMetalPanic'': |
| 361 | ** Hey, physical abuse is A-OK as long as it's female on male, but if you ever make her cry you're going straight to hell. |
| 362 | ** Also, falling in love and having feelings of humanity makes you uncool, weak, and {{wangst}}y. Being an [[TheStoic uncaring killing machine]] is much better for the soul. |
| 363 | ** Gun control laws are only suggestions. Nobody actually enforces them. |
| 364 | ** Being a man is primarily about [[ARealManIsAKiller being a violent, self-centered douche]] and loving oneself for it. |
| 365 | * ''Manga/FutureDiary'': |
| 366 | ** Utter psychos are the best choices to rule the universe. |
| 367 | ** School held hostage? Temple burning down? Skyscraper collapsing? Just a normal day in town, no reason to be alarmed at all! If you're the police, trust a couple detectives and four kids to figure out what's going on. |
| 368 | ** The best way to show your friendship toward someone is to plot against them behind their back. |
| 369 | * ''Literature/TheGardenOfSinners'': If you suspect that the girl you like is a psychotic serial killer, you should become friends anyway. If the evidence points to her, ignore it. If she admits to it, don't believe her. If you see her standing in front of a headless corpse, covered in blood, holding a knife, rationalize that it wasn't her. If you then survive her inevitable attempt on your life, congratulations! You're both in love. She probably won't try to kill you again. |
| 370 | ** ''[[DistantFinale Mirai Fukuin]]'': Then she will give you the sweetest daughter in the world. Who wants to kill her mother and win her father, i.e. ''you''. What kind of man doesn't want that, hmm? |
| 371 | * ''Literature/{{Gate}}'': |
| 372 | ** What's the first thing you should do if you discover an unexplored land? Invade it, of course! Militarism for the win! |
| 373 | ** The Geneva Conventions aren't international law, they're suggestions that you're free to discard depending on how cooperative your prisoner is being. For an AssholeVictim go ahead and toss the whole rulebook out the window. |
| 374 | * ''Manga/{{Gravitation}}'': |
| 375 | ** As long as you're doing it to protect someone you love, gang rape and humiliation will have no lasting effects on you. |
| 376 | ** Never mind how your boyfriend verbally (and sometimes physically) abuses you. He's really a broken and lonely soul who needs your unconditional love to change for the better. |
| 377 | * ''Anime/{{Gintama}}'': Humiliate a politician you don't like in front of his foes. You will get away with that. |
| 378 | [[/folder]] |
| 379 | |
| 380 | [[folder:H - Q]] |
| 381 | * ''Literature/{{Haganai}}'': Hey, wanna make friends? Well, the best way to do that it form a club and then manipulate and abuse every member frequently. Bonus points if a handful happen to have egos for you to go out of your way to bruise by humiliating them at every given opportunity. No one will ever call you out on it. Even better if one of them ''happens to be a child''. |
| 382 | * ''Literature/HaruhiSuzumiya'': Rape is hilarious as long as both the victim and perpetrator are Japanese schoolgirls. |
| 383 | ** Also, the victim will secretly enjoy it and end up being a better and more confident person because of it. |
| 384 | ** See that cute girl over there? You're not allowed to date her. ''Ever.'' Otherwise, your other female friend will get jealous and destroy the universe. |
| 385 | ** The best way to show affection for someone is to be abusive and demanding, and mask any signs of caring. Don't worry, your interesting personality will more than make up for it. Such behavior is also a great way to get the person to spend time with you. |
| 386 | ** Forget all the fun and exciting things that happen in a "mundane" world. If it doesn't have freaks, monsters, or anything that isn't grounded in reality, ''it cannot be fun''. So go ahead and watch as the world burns. At least you'll be entertained. |
| 387 | ** Summing it all up, God is a jerk. |
| 388 | *** ...and you have to go along with it because God is a petty, violent, destructive jerk who will kill everything if annoyed. |
| 389 | ** Telling the girl you like that you have a ponytail fetish can save the universe! |
| 390 | ** Nobody is who you think they are, and making friends with one random eccentric girl can condemn you to a life of danger and uncertainty. But it doesn't matter because your normal life was too boring anyways. |
| 391 | ** It's perfectly justified to hit a girl first so long as she's God! |
| 392 | * ''Anime/HellGirl'': If you get revenge, you'll go to hell, but if you don't get revenge, you'll suffer horrible torment and then go to hell anyway. |
| 393 | ** Therapy is pointless. Condemning everybody who makes you unhappy to eternal torment in hell is the only way to get over your problems. |
| 394 | * ''Manga/{{Hellsing}}'': Let your pet monster of darkness [[KidWithTheLeash off the leash]] to save the day. |
| 395 | ** [[KnightTemplar The most effective way to combat evil]] [[EvilerThanThou is with an even greater evil.]] |
| 396 | ** Protestants hang out with bloodthirsty monsters. Catholics kill you with cake knives. |
| 397 | ** GodwinsLaw: [[TheManBehindTheMan The Nazis really are still behind everything]]. |
| 398 | * ''Anime/HeroicAge'': All women are pure; men are not. Unless, of course, some are raised in isolation. |
| 399 | * ''Webcomic/HetaliaAxisPowers'': Soviet Russia was mean for taking over Eastern Europe. Axis Germany, on the other hand, was a decent and respectful power that only committed minor wrongdoings... such as taking over Eastern Europe. |
| 400 | ** Or, rather, Soviet Russia just wanted some friends. [[ParanoiaFuel You all will join him someday.]] |
| 401 | ** All Russian men are [[BiggerIsBetterInBed over 25cm]]. |
| 402 | ** Stereotypes are awesome. Never mind if they portray entire countries as being incompetent, cowardly, or idiotic – [[RuleOfFunny they're funny, so it's all good,]] right? ''Right?'' |
| 403 | ** It's perfectly okay to have sex with your siblings. And your kids. |
| 404 | ** If you come across a bunch of people with absolutely no free will who can be mind-raped into doing horrible things without being aware of them, you should laugh. [[RuleOfFunny What? They're all acting like idiots!]] |
| 405 | * ''Literature/HighSchoolDXD'': |
| 406 | ** It's okay to be a sexual predator if it gives you superpowers. |
| 407 | ** Hail Satan! Who happens to be a hot anime girl with big titties. |
| 408 | ** Don't trust anyone who wants to be your girlfriend. She's probably an evil fallen angel who wants to kill you. |
| 409 | ** Poking breasts gives you superpowers. [[SchmuckBait Try it!]] |
| 410 | * ''VisualNovel/HigurashiWhenTheyCry'': |
| 411 | ** Young girls who have their older brothers take care of them deserve to have the shit beaten out of them at least once. It will make them better people. |
| 412 | ** If you find out that one of your friends has murdered someone, even in self-defense, you should help them cover it up, of course. It's what friends are for. (Never mind the fact that ''murdering'' someone in ''self-defense'' is a contradiction in terms!) |
| 413 | ** The "perfect crime" is brutally murdering someone you met for all of ten minutes and dumping the body in a swamp. In full view of someone. |
| 414 | ** [[spoiler:Nurses are always evil, and ones who engage in experimental research tend to end up infected by whatever it was they were studying.]] |

| 418 | ** [[spoiler:Even if you can try it thousands of times, some things are just hopeless unless you cheat.]] |
| 419 | ** Choose the sucky life you have already in contrast to the happier one, since that means you can learn from your mistakes and the shit you were put through. Those mistakes and horrible luck can include murdering someone, having lost someone dear to you or being attracted to little girls. |
| 420 | * ''Manga/HunterXHunter'': It's completely okay to let psychologically-questionable people become members of society's most important class. |
| 421 | ** AnyoneCanDie. So don't bat an eye if you witness someone dying in the most gruesome way possible, unless it's [[TrueCompanions someone you really care about]]. |
| 422 | ** Are you a twelve-year-old boy who's been on dates with [[AgeGapRomance older women]]? It's totally not creepy, it just means you're grown up! |
| 423 | * ''VideoGame/InazumaEleven'': |
| 424 | ** Otakus are not good at sports unless they cheat. |
| 425 | ** Faking your death to your friends is better than them seeing you depressed. |
| 426 | ** Destroying schools is easily forgivable if it's all part of an act. |
| 427 | ** If soccer is not wiped out from existence, in several years the human race will develop super-powered kids with shorter lifespans. |
| 428 | * ''Manga/JunjouRomantica'': Raping someone will make them fall in love with you. |
| 429 | ** All gays are rapists. |
| 430 | * ''Manga/KaguyaSamaLoveIsWar'': The Irish make ''excellent'' servants. |
| 431 | * ''Anime/KillLaKill'': Fashionistas are evil. |
| 432 | ** Are you unfortunate enough to live in a Third World, totalitarian society? Well, suck it up, because your fascistic ruler really does have your best interests in mind, and if they ever gave up their power, there would be nobody strong enough to protect the world from an EldritchAbomination that a commoner like you had absolutely no chance against. |
| 433 | ** There's nothing wrong with young women being forced to wear skimpy outfits despite their audible protests. |
| 434 | * ''Manga/{{Kochikame}}'': Female nudity is verboten, [[DoubleStandard but male nudity]] [[NakedPeopleAreFunny is always funny]]. |
| 435 | * ''Manga/KotouraSan'': |
| 436 | ** If you are a teenage boy, you are incapable of not constantly fantasizing about your crush, so don't even try to restrain yourself around her. |
| 437 | ** You are perfectly justified in abusing and then disowning your child when she calls you out on your marital infidelity. |
| 438 | *** Also, you are immature for not understanding your mother's reasons for abandoning you and telling you she shouldn't have given birth to you to your face. |
| 439 | ** A DirtyOldMan who admits to being an ephebophile is the person who should have custody of his teenage granddaughter. |
| 440 | ** You are not allowed to be upset or distrusting towards the girl who lied to her underlings about you raping her and got you stabbed as a result out of petty jealousy. |
| 441 | *** If you see the girl who did nothing but bully you trying to apologize to the guy who was stabbed to near-death over a false rape accusation made by her out of petty revenge, take the girl's side because she wants to be friends and is sorry for the bullying, then berate the guy for being understandably outraged at her actions and for not instantly forgiving her. Nevermind that he is the first person in school to ever reach out to you out of genuine kindness and stand up for you with no ulterior motives and that he was almost killed because of her actions. |
| 442 | * ''Anime/TheLittlBits'': "Election Day": True democracies only require the people to vote, even when every election has only one despotic unopposed candidate. |
| 443 | ** "Doctor Snoozeabit": If training for a career choice turns out to be too difficult, you should just quit. |
| 444 | * ''Anime/LittleNemoAdventuresInSlumberland'': Females can’t rule a country, so you’re better off finding any random little boy to be the heir to the throne even if a princess exists. |
| 445 | ** Entrusting a random little boy who just arrived in your country with your national security is fine; if they violate that trust it’s all their fault. |
| 446 | * ''Manga/LoveHina'': It's okay for a girl to beat the shit out of her supposed true love for breathing too loudly, but if he does anything to stand up to her, he's a bastard. |
| 447 | ** And said girl who beats the shit out of you on a near-daily basis is obviously more compatible with you than anyone else and always has been. |
| 448 | ** Any woman who loves [[ThisLoserIsYou you]] is severely maladjusted. |
| 449 | * ''Anime/LoveLive'': If you don't get your way, pester. If you still don't get your way, pester more. If you still don't get your way, cry a lot. You're a cute girl, you'll get your way eventually. |
| 450 | ** If someone hates you and goes out of the way to try to make you fail, even though it wouldn't affect her in the least, it's okay. Just keep trying to befriend her until it works. |
| 451 | ** One of your friends is a self-centered, annoying AttentionWhore? No, she's not...she's your friend, after all, and those just make her good for a laugh! |
| 452 | ** Your friend stringing along people in her plans and then canceling them? Selfish and ''not okay''! Even though you yourself boss around and act rude to your friends on a regular basis...if anyone could tell when someone's being selfish, it would be you! |
| 453 | ** Forcing your friends to do things they're not comfortable with is good for them. |
| 454 | ** Yes, Japanese idol fans are all high school girls! Male fans? Why would MEN be interested in such a thing? |
| 455 | * ''Anime/MacrossFrontier'': |
| 456 | ** It is perfectly OK for a guy to be in love relationship with two girls simultaneously. |
| 457 | ** If you are a famous star, don't encourage '''anyone''' to go into show business. Ever. They will always steal your position. |
| 458 | ** And it is 100% OK to do so, along with taking their manager from them. If, however, the now fallen star manages to get the guy ''you'' are in love with after that, she is an absolute bitch and deserves to die, along with everybody around her. |
| 459 | * ''Manga/MagicKnightRayearth'': When you need a group of warriors to fight a threat and nobody from your universe can stop it, why request the help of superheroes or legendary warriors from other dimensions when you can [[KidnappedByTheCall just kidnap three random teenage girls with no proper training and prevent them from going back to their home dimension until they've killed the threat]]! |
| 460 | * ''Franchise/MagicalGirlLyricalNanoha:'' Promising to [[SwallowedWhole swallow]] a [[ChildEater nine-year-old girl]] won't [[AngstWhatAngst traumatize her]] in any way, so never take this threat seriously. |
| 461 | ** Beating the living shit out of people is the best way to make friends! If they don't want to listen to you, just overwhelm them through superior firepower! They won't resent you for it and open up for you in no time! |
| 462 | ** Hiring ChildSoldiers is a-okay! It's also okay to let them go on life-threatening missions and keep pushing their own limits in dangerous TrainingFromHell sessions without at least bothering to give them constant physical and psychological checks! It couldn't possibly backfire and lead to being physically crippled for over a year in any way! |
| 463 | ** If you're not a [[LesYay lesbian couple]], then you're not worth bothering with. |
| 464 | ** WithGreatPowerComesGreatResponsibility... therefore, children gifted with great power must be judged as adults and forced to stand trial for the crimes they committed, even if those actions were the result of abuse and manipulation, or if they weren't even aware they were doing something wrong. They are stronger than adults, so they must face their actions as adults! Oh, and if we absolve them? Then they must join us to make up for it! |
| 465 | ** Go ahead and adopt kids when you're barely college-age. Also, use more force on a noncombatant enemy who threatened said kid than you used on an EldritchAbomination. |
| 466 | * ''Manga/MaisonIkkoku'': You know that person who has openly loved and cared for you even though you were too busy pining for someone else? Heh, just keep leading that person on as they think they are actually in a relationship with you until someone else comes along and takes them off your hands. |
| 467 | ** Drink as much booze as you want, the worse thing that could happen would just be some wacky shenanigans. |
| 468 | ** Go ahead, keep harassing that stressed-out young neighbor who's trying to get into school and make a living, it'll make him a better man. |
| 469 | ** How dare that guy who said he was in love with me date another girl? I mean, sure, I am already dating a different guy, but that doesn't mean he should move on too! |
| 470 | * ''Manga/MariaTheVirginWitch'': Don't stop wars or the heavens will smite you. |
| 471 | * ''Anime/MartianSuccessorNadesico'': Light-hearted children shows such as SuperRobotGenre anime series are bad, brain-washing kids and cause wars. And you should feel ashamed for liking them. |
| 472 | ** The number-one lesson of this anime is: don't take lessons from anime. |
| 473 | * ''Manga/MobPsycho100'': Con artists make for great role models. |
| 474 | * ''Anime/MobileSuitGundam'': ChildSoldiers who refuse to obey orders should be slapped until they do. |
| 475 | ** Not to mention that human evolution will eventually mean that, yes, there is a master race. |
| 476 | * ''[[Anime/MobileSuitGundamWing Gundam Wing]]'': War is BAD! Now let's go kill a ''crap'' load of mooks! |
| 477 | ** Also acceptable: Hypocrites are the best of us, they should be idolized and treasured to the greatest extent possible. |
| 478 | ** Trust your mortal enemy completely if he offers to give you a power upgrade. [[SchmuckBait This cannot go wrong at all.]] |
| 479 | ** The best way [[ForGreatJustice to deliver justice]] is to murder your opponents when they are all asleep, with [[StuffBlowingUp explosive no less]]. |
| 480 | * ''[[Anime/MobileFighterGGundam G Gundam]]'': Violence is a legitimate language. |
| 481 | * ''[[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEED Gundam SEED]]'': |
| 482 | ** Following orders ''will'' get you killed. You can accomplish much more if you desert your post. |
| 483 | ** Show that you're truly a pacifist by waging war against more people who are also waging war. |
| 484 | * ''[[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEEDDestiny Gundam SEED Destiny]]'': If you see a sweet, naive blonde drowning, let her die. |
| 485 | ** The best way to end all war is to shoot the interposition force first. |
| 486 | ** Want to get a girl to love you? Shoot her little sister. She'll be so desperate, she'll fall into your arms immediately. |

| 488 | ** If someone steals your identity and impersonates you for their own propaganda, you must wait as late as possible to denounce her as a fraud. |
| 489 | * ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamAGE'': Who cares about your ally getting killed? Your enemy's casualties are more important! |
| 490 | * ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamIronBloodedOrphans'': |
| 491 | ** Trying to reform the corrupt organization you belong to will eventually lead to you and everyone you love dying. [[spoiler: Even if you're the hero.]] |
| 492 | ** ChildSoldiers solve ''everything''. |
| 493 | ** [[HonorBeforeReason Trying to be honorable]] will only get you killed horribly. |
| 494 | *** [[KilledMidSentence Just shoot your enemies while they're still talking.]] [[CombatPragmatist It saves time.]] |
| 495 | ** Paedophilia isn't actually that bad. Not as bad as [[spoiler: stabbing your fiancée's brother in the back and sending another woman who's in love with you to her death.]] |
| 496 | ** Protesting for equal rights will just get you killed, and line the pockets of the businessman who supported the revolution in the first place. |
| 497 | ** Nobody wins in this game unless people die. |
| 498 | * ''Manga/{{Monster}}'': |
| 499 | ** It's okay to avoid going to school if they honestly have something more interesting to do, like following a fugitive doctor around. |
| 500 | ** Alternatively, if you're a surgeon, you really ''should'' think twice before saving random hapless children. |
| 501 | ** Don't go against superiors and try to do the morally right thing by treating all patients equally regardless of social status. You'll just end up saving TheAntiChrist who'll kill thousands of innocents. |
| 502 | * ''Manga/MonsterMusume'': HumansAreBastards [[DoubleStandard but Monster Girls can do no wrong.]] |
| 503 | ** Specifically, when humans who have been repeatedly humiliated by you decide to get back at you by raping one of your Monster Girlfriends, [[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil they are worse than Hitler and Satan]] but when a Monster Girl who you've never interacted with tries to rape your friend for the hell of it [[EasilyForgiven she can be forgiven]]. |
| 504 | ** If a person of another species decides to terrorize humans or vice versa then you're not allowed to attack them because you will be imprisoned because the law says so. |
| 505 | * ''Manga/MuhyoAndRoji'': An incredibly lazy and snarky prodigy is a better candidate for a prestigious job than his hard-working friend who is determined to provide for his ill mother. |
| 506 | * ''Anime/MyHime'' (anime): |
| 507 | ** Emotional ties are foolish, and friendship and love will either make you go [[LoveMakesYouCrazy crazy]], [[LoveMakesYouDumb stupid]], [[LoveMakesYouEvil evil]], or [[LoveHurts some combination of the three]]. |
| 508 | ** Committing mass murder is the best way to protect your crush. Don't worry if she appears horrified by [[PsychoSupporter your actions]] at first...she'll come around. Besides, those victims were really, really, really asking for it. |
| 509 | ** [[AdultsAreUseless Who needs adult figures to run a school?]] Let the kids fend for themselves! It's the only way they'll learn. |
| 510 | * ''Manga/MyHime'' (manga): Putting impressionable and emotionally unstable teenagers in charge of a school fraught with [[TheLegionsOfHell demonic]] and [[AlienInvasion otherworldly]] invaders is perfectly okay. |
| 511 | * ''Anime/MyOtome'' (anime): |
| 512 | ** Men are evil, stupid, useless, or any combination of the three. |
| 513 | ** [[SwissCheeseSecurity School security measures are only a suggestion]]. |
| 514 | * ''Manga/MyOtome'' (manga): |
| 515 | ** Men are evil, stupid, useless, or any combination of the three unless they crossdress...or are already dead. And if you ''are'' said crossdresser, [[ChickMagnet every girl in the world will want to go out with you]]...[[IfItsYouItsOkay even the]] gay ones. |
| 516 | ** Girls shouldn't be allowed to take on the BigBad. Only the kid they've been protecting for the entire series is allowed to save the day. |
| 517 | * ''Literature/TheMysticArchivesOfDantalian'': If a situation has nothing to do with you and you possess the power to resolve the situation, don't even bother. Everything will work itself out. |
| 518 | * ''Anime/{{Nanbaka}}'' That one dude that makes you feel like garbage and throws all your flaws in your face is such a good friend, you see! |
| 519 | ** Being selfish is normal. Being selfless means you're sick in some way. |
| 520 | * ''Manga/{{Negima}}'': It is perfectly reasonable to live in your possibly-dead father's shadow. In fact, you should shave whole days off of your life so you can be more like him. And if you have a friend who is doing this, you should encourage him to continue because it makes him "mature" and "adult", even if he ''is'' a child. |
| 521 | ** The series later gives another option, if you ''don't'' want to stay in your father's shadow, choose dark powers over light! Despite the fact that it may eventually kill you, at least you don't have to worry about using ThePowerOfFriendship to solve all of your problems. |
| 522 | ** The effectiveness of training [[TrainingFromHell is directly proportional to how suicidal is it]]. For that matter, how good of a teacher you are is determined entirely by how much of a [[DrillSergeantNasty hardass]] you are and/or [[SinkOrSwimMentor how likely you are to commit manslaughter via training.]] |
| 523 | ** If a child is doing incredibly stupid things because you're not telling him something, whatever you do, ''don't tell him''! He needs to learn stuff the hard way, with lots of blood, sweat, tears, and wasted childhood. |
| 524 | *** If you ''are'' that child and someone tells you that you should relax a little, act like the child you are, and enjoy your childhood while it still lasts, don't. Instead, find a YearInsideHourOutside mechanism so that you can get out of childhood even faster, without wasting that TrainingFromHell in the process. |
| 525 | ** Attempting to [[CorruptionOfAMinor seduce a ten-year-old boy]] is perfectly okay. Especially if your favorite method for doing so is to [[MarshmallowHell rub his face in your cleavage]]. |
| 526 | ** Being smart makes you weak and hesitant while [[DumbIsGood being dumb makes you strong and confident]]. There will also never be any negative consequences to being confident without even knowing what you're doing. |
| 527 | ** Making out with your students is endearing, and there is no downside. In fact, you're rewarded with incredible items. Everybody wins. |
| 528 | * ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'', ''Manga/{{Inuyasha}}'', ''Manga/ExcelSaga'': You should totally fall in love with the HandsomeLech or the ChivalrousPervert. Sure, he claims to be in love with anything on two legs, but he also said it to you, so he must mean it. After all, it's not like the guy is evil, so his actions are perfectly okay. Once he settles down with you he will stop. And if he doesn't, that just means it's in his nature. Who are you to change him? |
| 529 | * ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'': Do you have an incredibly powerful weapon that is possibly your only hope for survival? Entrust it to emotionally unstable children! |
| 530 | ** Also, don't take that lithium! You might need to go into a perpetual-motion mode to defeat an Angel! |
| 531 | ** ''Anime/RebuildOfEvangelion'': AxCrazy {{Blood Knight}}s give the best advice. |
| 532 | ** Nobody wants [[BreakingTheFourthWall you]] so it's all right if you die, [[TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou isn't it]]? |
| 533 | ** If you don't do [[ChildSoldiers your job]] [[TheAce better than everyone else]], you should [[DespairEventHorizon probably just kill yourself]] because ''they all hate you''. |
| 534 | ** If you have an abusive, emotionally distant dad, you should put up with it with an obedient smile, or else you are a worthless piece of crap with no right to live. |
| 535 | * ''Anime/{{Noein}}'': It doesn't matter [[TheHero who you are]] or what you do or what choices you make, since there are infinite worlds out there you can bet that somewhere, [[FutureMeScaresMe in some future timeline]] or parallel universe, there is a [[EvilCounterpart version of you]] that's [[OmnicidalManiac bent on destroying all of reality.]] |
| 536 | ** It's [[MyBelovedSmother your mother's]] and [[MoralityChain your girlfriend's]] fault that you grow up to be an OmnicidalManiac. |
| 537 | ** Hey, girls! It's okay to bring a creepy older guy into your house if you "feel like you know him." |
| 538 | ** Attending CramSchool and studying all the time makes you an emotionally unstable {{Emo}} that secretly wants to commit genocide. Studying is bad for you. |
| 539 | * ''Anime/NowAndThenHereAndThere'': [[FromBadToWorse It always gets worse.]] ''ALWAYS!'' No exceptions. |
| 540 | ** Not wanting to have a ChildByRape makes you a bad person. |
| 541 | * ''Literature/NoGameNoLife'': It's NotCheatingUnlessYouGetCaught. |
| 542 | ** No game is complete without insulting and demeaning your opponent. After all, [[MightMakesRight if you win that means you're the one in the right]]. |
| 543 | * ''Manga/NoLongerAllowedInAnotherWorld'': |
| 544 | ** Suicide is ''hilarious.'' |
| 545 | ** Suicide is a beautiful, poetic thing. |
| 546 | * ''Manga/{{Noragami}}'': Welcome to the afterlife! So there are all these creepy monsters chasing you around, huh? Well, on one hand, you could fall into despair, turn into one of them, and spend the rest of eternity preying on the fears of people. On the other hand, you could get pressed into service as a god's weapon and spend eternity fighting those monsters. Also, that god can treat you however he or she damn well pleases. Have a nice death! |
| 547 | ** ColdBloodedTorture is an appropriate punishment for stealing and lewd thoughts. |
| 548 | * ''Anime/OnegaiMyMelody'': |
| 549 | ** Are you a tomboy and/or don't like cute things? UNACCEPTABLE. |
| 550 | * ''Webcomic/OnePunchMan'': |
| 551 | ** Heroism is for losers, weaklings and assholes. |
| 552 | ** Complete apathy is the most ideal mindset for saving people. |
| 553 | * ''VisualNovel/OokamiKakushi'': You should tolerate people who are highly aroused by your scent. |

| 556 | ** Opening a present meant for your sister is a very, VERY bad idea. |
| 557 | ** Hugs can kill you if you're not careful. |
| 558 | * ''Manga/OuranHighSchoolHostClub'': Girls shouldn't ever try to help anyone if they're alone. Also, it's a good idea to use attempted rape as a tool to remind women of where their place is and just how powerless they are. |
| 559 | * ''Manga/PandoraHearts'': It's perfectly okay to send your younger siblings down into a pit of doom because they have red eyes and traditions must be obeyed. |
| 560 | ** It's also okay to lock your nieces in a tower and never let them see the light of day or have any social contact whatsoever. |
| 561 | ** It's also okay to rape a child when she is young and looks up to you as a father figure, all in the name of science. |
| 562 | ** A father is allowed to treat his adopted son like dirt for the crimes his ancestor committed, not him when he was forced to kill against his will, and he can get away with this. |
| 563 | ** Animal abuse is okay. You can make an animal kill and his crying means nothing to you. |
| 564 | ** You can take in young children and then have them kill their siblings when they're older, brainwashing them to be loyal to you and you alone. Don't worry, you're the supposed hero of the story, Oswald. |
| 565 | ** It's okay for you to go back in time and murder your own sister, killing your nieces, their best friend, their servants and screwing up the main timeline; it's also okay to murder people who disagree with your tyrannical ways. |
| 566 | ** (Misguided) love is a perfect excuse to destroy the world. |

| 574 | ** Don't worry if your crush is constantly making fun of you while simultaneously having sex with everyone else, she'll fall in love with you eventually. |
| 575 | * ''Literature/ParallelWorldPharmacy'': [[RagsToRiches People who made themselves wealthy and govern through grit and hard work]] are all con artists who do more harm than good. People born into wealth are the only ones with the skills and natural acumen to accomplish the common good because they were literally ordained by God to be better than everyone else, and therefor deserve their wealth and privilege. |
| 576 | * ''Anime/ParanoiaAgent'': |
| 577 | ** Lying is bad, kids! If you lie, you and everyone you've ever been in contact with will go insane and imagine being beaten up by a juvenile kid before a giant black blob consumes your hometown! |
| 578 | ** Correction: If you live in Tokyo and someone lies, you will be killed by a figment of their imagination. |
| 579 | *** Don't live in Tokyo. |
| 580 | ** A little girl accidentally letting her puppy die is the cause of all the problems in society, even if everyone else did worse things and just hid behind her lie. Only make ''her'' own up to it and the masses will obviously be spared and never cause something similar to happen ever again. |
| 581 | ** Are you a crooked cop, a violent burglar, and a pedophile who is abusing the trust of your only child by taking naked pictures of her? You don't have to face any repercussions! In fact, not only will you be treated like a hero for catching the wrong suspect, but your daughter will contract EasyAmnesia and never rat you out! (Alternatively: the worst thing that can happen for a criminal or a pedophile is for them to reflect and feel bad about their actions. Don't bother trying to actually send them to jail.) |
| 582 | ** Not only are things that [[SickeninglySweet taste like diabetes]] a bad social influence, [[SpaceWhaleAesop it will literally kill you]]! |
| 583 | * ''Anime/{{Parasyte}}'': To be truly badass, TheGlassesGottaGo. |
| 584 | ** Any woman who doesn't StayInTheKitchen will die. |
| 585 | * ''Literature/ThePetGirlOfSakurasou'': Want to know the best way to convince your bosses to listen to your wants and needs? Incite everyone to riot! |
| 586 | * ''The Pollinic Girls Attack!'': Rape in a public area is fine if everyone is doing it. |
| 587 | ** Same-sex sexual activities for women is everywhere and nothing to bat an eye at. Same-sex sexual activities for men rarely happens and it is funny when it does. |
| 588 | ** If seasonal allergies took the form of naked women having sex with you in-public en-masse, it would otherwise be exactly the same as the real world. |
| 589 | * ''Anime/PrettyCure'': |
| 590 | ** ''Anime/FreshPrettyCure'': Harass your friend's love interest, it gets them together faster. |
| 591 | ** ''Anime/HeartcatchPrettyCure'': The best way to befriend someone is making them get rid of their glasses. |
| 592 | ** ''Anime/SmilePrecure'': |
| 593 | *** (Series-wide) It's okay to completely live your life in a fantasy imagination. |
| 594 | *** (Specific to Nao) Fourteen year olds can absolutely act as a third parent to five rowdy children. |
| 595 | ** ''Anime/KiraKiraPrecureALaMode'': |
| 596 | *** It only matters that others are happy with what you make for them, put more effort into it to make it as best as possible? Nah! no one cares about that. |
| 597 | *** Sometimes your sibling is just born better than you at what you’re into, and it’s impossible for you to surpass them no matter how hard you try, and the only way to succeed is by relying on them, because, unlike your superior sibling, [[FailureIsTheOnlyOption you'll never make it on your own]]. |
| 598 | *** Ignoring others' feelings and efforts is wrong, but [[NoSenseOfPersonalSpace invading their privacy]] to show your care for them is perfectly okay. |
| 599 | *** Similarly, how do show your love for your sibling? [[CuddleBug Cling]] and fawn over them constantly even if they were uncomfortable with that. And what should you do if your sibling is, say, running away out of guilt? Chase them until they listen to you and force them to tell you what's their problem, [[SarcasmMode it always works and]] ''[[SarcasmMode totally]]'' [[SarcasmMode isn't toxic and disrespectful and wouldn't make them feel worse than they already are!]] |
| 600 | *** There's no need to face your own past mistakes and guilt, as long as you have someone standing up for you and people will [[EasilyForgiven forgive you anyway]]. |
| 601 | *** Boys shouldn't even attempt to achieve goals in traditionally female fields.[[labelnote:note]]Yes, this message was defied in ''[=HuGtto=]!'' and later ''Hirogaru Sky!'', but that didn't happen in this season, so it still counts.[[/labelnote]] |
| 602 | ** ''Anime/DeliciousPartyPrettyCure'': Being a picky eater makes you a bad person. |
| 603 | * ''Anime/PrincessTutu'': |
| 604 | ** People who enjoy reading/writing stories with sad endings are wicked sadists. |
| 605 | ** If you're having trouble starting off the story you're trying to write, insert a duck as a PlotDevice. It'll work wonders. |
| 606 | ** Setting yourself on fire is an acceptable way of resolving your emotional issues. |
| 607 | ** {{Fix Fic}}s save the day! |
| 608 | * ''Manga/PrisonSchool'': Sexual assault is the best way to distract someone. |
| 609 | ** If a group of males are caught peeping, instead of reporting them to the proper authorities you're inclined of imprisoning them yourself. Also feel free to abuse them at your leisure |
| 610 | * ''Anime/PsychoPass'': Refusing to get treatment will make you criminally insane. |
| 611 | ** Hostages are no longer hostages, they're overexposed. Thus they must also be treated as criminally insane. |
| 612 | ** To outsmart a criminal, you need to think like a criminal. Therefore, all detectives are criminals in the making. |
| 613 | ** Long story short ''EVERYBODY'' is criminally insane. |
| 614 | ** Except the biggest criminal of all, who is actually [[OnlySaneMan perfectly sane]], albeit by the standards of the aforementioned [[PeaceAndLoveIncorporated world of mad people]]. Therefore, isn't [[ManipulativeBastard listening to him]] the [[VillainHasAPoint logical thing to do?]] |
| 615 | * ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica'': Did someone just offer you the opportunity to make yourself truly happy? They cannot be trusted at all. And if they're only doing it because it will help save the universe in the long run, that means they must be destroyed. |
| 616 | ** Teenage girls' dreams are the driving force behind humanity's progress. |
| 617 | ** (this one could be applied to many, if not all, Deconstructions of the MagicalGirl genre) Women shouldn't be trusted with anything important, either because they are uniformly hormonal, mentally unhinged brats or because anyone trying to tell young girls that they can be whatever they want to be is in reality an evil bastard out for their own selfish agendas. The only way for a female to grow upright or lead a happy, mentally stable life is to StayInTheKitchen. |
| 618 | ** SaveScumming will eventually drive you to despair, as you see yourself failing again and again and start to doubt [[HopelessBossFight if it's even possible for you to succeed]]. |
| 619 | ** Doing what is necessary to prolong the end of the universe requires putting the well-being of everyone else in the universe before your own. This is a horrible, nightmarish, self-destructive process that no one in their right mind should agree to. You'd be better off letting everyone and everything die early. |
| 620 | ** And being idealistic about this situation in any way will earn you a horrifyingly gruesome death. |
| 621 | ** [[PoweredByAForsakenChild There is no force in the universe stronger than human suffering.]] [[DiabolusExMachina Not even physics or probability.]] |
| 622 | ** If you commit yourself to fighting evil so that the boy you love can once again pursue his passion, he'll choose your friend instead, and you'll turn into a monster, requiring the girl who was starting to become friends with you to sacrifice herself to kill you. |
| 623 | ** If you somehow become capable of selflessness, you will cease to have a self. |
| 624 | ** ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagicaTheMovieRebellion'': [[spoiler:And finally reaching your goal and achieving your dream will only turn you into the equivalent of the Antichrist; plus you'll still be trapped in a SelfInflictedHell.]] |

| 626 | * ''Manga/TheQuintessentialQuintuplets'' |
| 627 | ** If you're in love with someone, [[spoiler:don't bother working towards winning that person's heart. You're more likely to succeed if you put your efforts into helping someone else fullfil said goal.]] |
| 628 | ** Treating someone horribly for no good reason to the point of [[SlippingAMickey drugging them]]? [[spoiler:Just [[ImportantHaircut get a haircut]], and develop a romantic interest towards said person. Don't worry, all the horrible things you've done will be conveniently forgotten. Even if they're not at least you're still better than someone who sabotages their siblings, even though they're remorseful for what they've done.]] |

| 631 | [[folder:R - Z]] |
| 632 | * ''Manga/RanmaOneHalf'': |
| 633 | ** ScrewTheRulesImBeautiful |
| 634 | ** MightMakesRight. |
| 635 | ** Ripping people off [[{{Greed}} for personal gain]] and [[IHaveBoobsYouMustObey conning them with your looks]] is [[KarmaHoudini just fine]], even if you're [[AttractiveBentGender pretending to be something you're not]]. |
| 636 | ** The authorities never help anyone; if you want a job done right, do it yourself. |
| 637 | ** If the choice is between a normal life and [[SacrificedBasicSkillForAwesomeTraining divorcing yourself near totally from mundane life to become an expert at]] SupernaturalMartialArts, then go for the latter. |
| 638 | *** It's okay to make your six-year-old son forsake a normal life just because you want him to grow up to be a badass with {{Charles Atlas Superpower}}s. |
| 639 | ** Perversion is not only fun, it also [[ImmortalityImmorality helps you live longer]]! Just look out for the PervertRevengeMode. |
| 640 | *** Which is perfectly acceptable to use no matter [[MegatonPunch how hard you hit]] or [[HyperspaceMallet what you hit with]] if you're on the girl side, even if you're [[GenderBender really just]] [[ChivalrousPervert as bad]]. |
| 641 | ** If you're a boy and a girl who deny any interest in each other and fight each other verbally and sometimes physically, you're a perfect couple, just adorably "in denial" about it. |
| 642 | ** It's cute and funny for a girl to beat on a boy because she's mad or embarrassed, but it's awful if a guy hits a girl who treats him badly. |
| 643 | ** It's okay for a guy to mock a girl's most sensitive emotional/mental weaknesses simply because she's bad-tempered. |
| 644 | ** It's okay for a girl to react to a boy with NoSocialSkills unthinkingly being a JerkAss by beating him with the nearest heavy object. |
| 645 | ** If you've been chasing a girl and professing your love to her for at least ten years, despite the fact she insists she's not interested to the point she routinely beats you up and tells you she hates you, ''to your face'', keep at it! She's obviously just shy and will come to return your feelings soon. And if she finds another boy she genuinely does seem to like, well, he's obviously bewitched her, so [[MurderTheHypotenuse try to beat him to a pulp, even kill him if you have to, so she'll fall in love with you instead]]. |
| 646 | ** It's okay to revile a guy for stalking you because he claims to love you, but also to do the exact same thing to a guy you actually do like and who doesn't seem to be interested in you. |
| 647 | ** It's okay to blame someone for your having a ForcedTransformation curse due a fight between the two of you that never happened, even if [[InsaneTrollLogic A: you were the one four days late to the fight, B: you were the one who chose to chase after him, and C: he was nowhere nearby (as far as you knew) when you were actually cursed]]. |
| 648 | ** If you're a boy and a girl says you've done something wrong, then you're always in the wrong. [[GenderBender Even if you're also a girl at the time]]. |
| 649 | * ''Manga/RecorderAndRandsell'': Whenever you see an older-looking gentleman walking with a little girl, automatically [[MistakenForPedophile assume he is a pedo]] and arrest him immediately. |
| 650 | * ''Manga/ReincarnationNoKaben'': |
| 651 | ** Hitler wasn’t that bad. |
| 652 | ** The internet trolls are right. If you think you suck and have no talent, you ''should'' attempt suicide. If you survive, you’ll find that you’ve magically become so talented that you have superpowers! |
| 653 | * ''Manga/RentAGirlfriend'': Lonely? Just [[HumanTraffickers buy a girl from a sketchy website]]. Your relationship will become perfectly healthy with zero legal nor ethical issues whatsoever. |
| 654 | * ''Anime/RevolutionaryGirlUtena'': |
| 655 | ** Don't ever fall in love with a man. He will always turn out to be an [[DomesticAbuse abusive]] ManipulativeBastard. |
| 656 | ** [[MadonnaWhoreComplex Virginal men are good, sexual men are evil]]. |
| 657 | ** As Anthy says near the end of the series, [[RealWomenDontWearDresses a girl can be girly, or she can be strong, never both]] because femininity means being like the Rose Bride -- an ExtremeDoormat StepfordSmiler DamselInDistress who [[NeutralFemale stands around looking pretty]] and obeying her fiancé. |
| 658 | ** Alternatively, being a masculine Prince is a prison. It might feel good to be considered strong and dashing, but in the end you'll never be appreciated for any positive expression of masculinity and only crushed by embracing the negative aspects. And girls, don't even try. No matter how strong you may feel, you're still a girl and you'll never be able to save people on your own. |
| 659 | ** SexIsEvil and all men who engage in it will always have ulterior motives. |
| 660 | * ''Anime/TheRoseOfVersailles'': Women, don't crossdress. And don't have sex. You will end up dying. |
| 661 | * ''Literature/TheRisingOfTheShieldHero'': Whether they claim their motivations are selfish or selfless, ''never'' take their word for it. Selfless people only do good to make themselves look good and are so short-sighted that they'll only make things worse, while the selfish people [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold are actually big softies]] that you should revere. |
| 662 | ** All men are gullible, volatile morons who [[IRejectYourReality live in their own little world]] and it takes a TraumaCongaLine for there to be any exceptions. |
| 663 | ** If everyone around you makes unfair assumptions about you with no evidence for any of it, it's up to ''you'' to be cordial with ''them'' regardless of everything they did. |
| 664 | ** Invading the territory of and killing animals en masse makes you powerful. |
| 665 | ** Buying child slaves and making them into child soldiers is way more effective against monsters than trained soldiers with the best armor and weapons the crown can buy. |
| 666 | ** Religion makes you stupid. |
| 667 | ** Creator/AynRand was right. |
| 668 | ** Also for ''Literature/TheRepriseOfTheSpearHero:'' The only women you can trust are women that take your side no question or ones you raised yourself. You can only grow as person by realizing how evil women can be, because otherwise you'll be playing into their hands until someone comes along to open your eyes. |
| 669 | * ''Anime/RocketGirls'': Duping somebody (even a minor) into doing something really dangerous for your personal benefit is A-OK as long as you intend to uphold your end of the bargain. Besides, there's always the chance they might come to enjoy and find their own purpose in what you forced them to do. |
| 670 | * ''Franchise/SailorMoon'': If you're a clumsy, whiny teenager, then that bratty KidFromTheFuture is justified in her rude actions towards you, despite the fact that you saved her life many times. |
| 671 | ** Having nightmares about your girlfriend's death? Don't talk to her about it and try to figure out what to do together, just dump her and act like you don't love her. |
| 672 | ** It's okay to disobey a scary Queen's orders and stab a guy, you'll be rewarded with a pretty death scene in your true love's arms. |
| 673 | ** Lying to and stalking a teenage girl is okay if you apologize and die for her in the end! |
| 674 | ** Freaking out and crying when you are thrown in a situation when you can end up seriously injured or killed is a silly reaction. |
| 675 | * ''Manga/SayonaraZetsubouSensei'': DysfunctionJunction is hilarious! |
| 676 | * ''Manga/SchoolRumble'': {{Tsundere}}s and {{Yamato Nadeshiko}}s are overrated. {{Genki Girl}}s are where it's at! |
| 677 | ** LoveMakesYouStupid. Or possibly, stupid people just fall in love more easily. But love and idiocy are definitely connected ''somehow''. |
| 678 | * ''Manga/ScumsWish'': {{Nice Guy}}s don't get the girl. {{Jerkass}}es don't get the girl. [[ManipulativeBastard Complete sociopaths]] get the girl! |
| 679 | * ''Anime/SerialExperimentsLain'': [[JustForFun/TVTropesWillRuinYourLife The Internet will ruin your life.]] |
| 680 | ** Committing suicide will turn you into a god. |
| 681 | * ''Manga/SilentMobius'': Even if you showed no inclination towards evil before, [[TranshumanTreachery as soon as it's revealed that your powers come from a demonic source or heritage]] you will turn evil. No exceptions. |
| 682 | ** [[CartrightCurse If you love someone, they will die.]] |
| 683 | ** It's your parents' fault that the world is so screwed up and [[GenerationXerox you're doomed to repeat their mistakes.]] |
| 684 | ** The ideal law enforcement team is an AmazonBrigade with hair the colors of the rainbow. No men allowed! They get in the way of the FanService and [[InvertedTrope are only]] [[JamesBondage here to be kidnapped]] [[MenAreTheExpendableGender and killed.]] |
| 685 | * ''Manga/SoulEater'' (after overtaking the manga): Teamwork and skill aren't really all that important in the end. Courage is the only thing you need. Also, nothing anybody else did counted as "courageous" for some reason. That includes the father who got himself blown up (pointlessly, granted, but that's another [[FridgeLogic trope]]) to protect his kid. |
| 686 | ** Fear is bad. If you can't confront your fears, you're either evil or at least inadequate and must be shown sense. By force if necessary. Children horrifically abused by their mothers are not exempt from this treatment. If you're not brave, you risk becoming ''less than human''. |
| 687 | ** From the manga, apparently there is such a thing as knowing too much, because it will drive you mad and into isolation. |
| 688 | ** Mistreating people with OCPD and/or taking advantage of their condition is HILARIOUS! |
| 689 | ** Is one of your teammates an uncooperative {{narcissist}} with DelusionsOfGrandeur who [[NeverMyFault projects all of his own personal failures]] onto his teammates? Well, TheComplainerIsAlwaysWrong and therefor it's on ''you'' to accommodate him if it starts to ruin team cohesion. |
| 690 | ** Crippling depression is both funny and contagious. |
| 691 | * ''Literature/SpiceAndWolf'': Blackmail and extortion are perfectly acceptable so long as they do it to you first. |
| 692 | ** Don't do nice things for the girl you like, because she doesn't love you and will have been trying to scam you all along. |
| 693 | * ''Anime/SpiritedAway'': Gaining weight means you're turning into a disgusting and greedy monster, and the only way to become good and thin again is vomiting. |
| 694 | * ''Manga/SpyXFamily'': |
| 695 | ** Your foster daughter is casually reacting to/repeating every thought that's in your head? Don't ever question it and just brush it off as her being socially awkward. Surely, she doesn't have the ability to read minds....right? |
| 696 | ** That prestigious university you applied at will instantly reject you if you fail to walk like a rich person or ''dare'' to save that drowning child. But physically assaulting your colleagues or classmates will only get you a slap on the wrist. |
| 697 | * ''VisualNovel/SteinsGate'': A fat, perverted {{Otaku}} can score an incredibly attractive [[CosplayOtakuGirl cosplayer]] without changing a single thing about his personality. |
| 698 | ** If you change the past to make life better for yourself and your friends [[CantGetAwayWithNuthin you'll have to watch your closest friend die over and over]]. |
| 699 | * ''Manga/StrawberryMarshmallow'': Acting like an obnoxious {{jerkass}} is a great way to get attention. |
| 700 | * ''Anime/SummerWars'': Teaming up to take down a computer virus that threatens the entire world is the perfect way to remedy any and all family issues. |
| 701 | * ''Literature/SwordArtOnline'': An unsympathetic mass murderer can be EasilyForgiven granted he didn't directly try to kill or harm the {{protagonist|CenteredMorality}}. Now, trying to rape the {{Deuteragonist}} doesn't make you evil in your own right. [[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil It makes you worse than the mass murderer]]. |
| 702 | ** Now if your daughter accidentally kills a mentally unstable person while trying to save your life. You should shun them because that she meant to shoot him. |
| 703 | ** Showing concern as a parent when your child has spent every minute of the last two years trapped in a MMORPG and even after becoming free of it still wants to spend all their time playing virtual reality video games instead of continuing their education and their lives in general is foolish. You just don't get it and are being too strict. |
| 704 | ** After being in a coma-like state for two years while trapped in a virtual reality video game where you can die in real life if killed in the game, you will have no long-lasting physical or mental effects. You'll be able to get up and walk around with ease afterwards. People who have to go through intense physical therapy after being in a coma due to their muscles atrophying must just be wimps, as are sufferers of PTSD. |
| 705 | * ''Anime/{{Symphogear}}'': Only people who have suffered should try to help others. Otherwise, you're a hypocrite. |
| 706 | * ''Anime/TenchiMuyo'' and its spin-offs: |
| 707 | ** It doesn't matter what walk of life you come from; your main goal is to get a one-dimensional teenager to fall in love with you. Furthermore, he is (apparently) the only man available for several different women. |
| 708 | ** Princesses are either adorable figureheads or bitchy de facto rulers of a kingdom. This theory also applies to ''WesternAnimation/Frozen2013''. |
| 709 | ** BrotherSisterIncest is perfectly legal and accepted on Jurai. |
| 710 | ** [[SameCharacterButDifferent Your personality will unexpectedly morph through every new adventure you embark on.]] Case in point, you can go from being competent to a bimbo, a loving and concerned mother to a unfettered narcissist and an independent soldier who is married to her work to a generic love interest who suddenly pines for someone you always saw as a friend for no reason at all. |
| 711 | ** [[IdenticalStranger Your main rival has a tendency to strongly resemble you.]] |
| 712 | * ''Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann'': Shouting "WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK I AM?" solves most of life's problems, great or small. |
| 713 | ** Even if you wield the power of an entire universe, those you love dearest will still die, and there's not one damn thing you can do about it. |
| 714 | ** Real men can learn any fighting skill through sheer testosterone and audacity because they have THE SOUL OF A MAN. Real women, uh, can be quite badass at a lower level, I guess? |
| 715 | *** {{Straw Vulcan}}s do not get a SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome because THEY'RE MEAN AND THEIR LOGIC KEEPS THE HEROES FROM BEING MANLY AND AWESOME. |
| 716 | *** When your friend is distressed, [[ThereAreNoTherapists punch him in the face]] whilst howling "LET'S SEE YOU GRIT THOSE TEETH!" and everything will work out. He'll thank you later. |
| 717 | *** ANY PROBLEM can be solved with the LIBERAL APPLICATION OF CAPITAL LETTERS. |
| 718 | ** You can do anything!... [[FantasticAesop if you live in a universe where magical energy that reacts to]] [[HotBlooded hot blood]] exists. |
| 719 | *** The best solution to any problem is [[RefugeInAudacity one that cannot possibly work, despite being awesome]]. It will work anyway. |
| 720 | ** The world needs a LawfulNeutral person to to the dirty, {{AntiHero}}ic political stuff... [[TokenMinority but only one]]. Everybody else is morally obligated to be a ChaoticGood badass. |
| 721 | ** The only way you can ever step out of the shadow of your cooler, more charismatic friend and become your own man is if said friend dies. |
| 722 | ** When a man and a woman should never get more friendly than waving across a room. |
| 723 | *** [[KissOfDeath If you kiss, one of you dies.]] |
| 724 | *** If you have a child,[[TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt society dies.]] |
| 725 | *** [[LetsWaitAWhile If you wait until marriage,]] [[DwindlingParty your lover will die along with most of your friends.]] Then you'll become a wandering nameless {{hobo}} and [[DyingAlone die alone]]. |
| 726 | ** Reasoned discussion will get you nowhere. Violence will solve all your problems. |
| 727 | * ''Literature/ThatTimeIGotReincarnatedAsASlime'': |
| 728 | ** Any bad thing that happens to you can be reversed, no mater how contrived it is! If good things don't just fall right into your lap, then it's your own fault for being a weak loser! |
| 729 | ** The only way to stop [[MightMakesRight a sadist with no sense of empathy or morals that likes to kill the weak for their weakness]] is [[RightMakesMight someone who can kill them right back, but they also happen to be nice]]. |
| 730 | * ''Anime/{{Toradora}}'': |
| 731 | ** If you're competent in taking care of yourself, like knowing how to clean and cook, that means you must help everyone around you. |
| 732 | ** You may not approve of your two best friends dropping out of school and running away together, but you're still obligated to give them your life savings so they can support themselves. Because that's what friends are for. |
| 733 | ** {{Alpha Bitch}}es give the best relationship advice. |
| 734 | *** An off-putting, self-absorbed, unlikable bitch should be accepted the way she is. Behaviour doesn't matter; one ''must'' have friends no matter how mean they are. |
| 735 | ** Be either a man or a woman, but at least one of them must StayInTheKitchen for a relationship to properly function. |
| 736 | * ''Manga/TokyoGhoul'': Wanna become [[AdrenalineMakeover a sexy special]] [[FromNobodyToNightmare awesome badass?]] All you need is torture! |
| 737 | * ''Anime/TrainingWithHinako'': It is perfectly okay to abandon [[{{Hikkikomori}} your life in favor of anime]] and if you're [[HollywoodPudgy the average weight]], loose weight! Anorexia is okay if you're [[AnimatedActor an anime girl]]. |
| 738 | * ''Manga/TsubasaReservoirChronicle'': So, your girlfriend got knocked into a coma, and the only way to get her out of it is to take a million-to-one shot at fixing it (and failing will probably get the ''both of you'' killed), and ''if'' you even succeed at all, she won't even remember who you are? Well, if you don't jump on that million-to-one shot, you don't love her. Period. |
| 739 | ** Never call out [[DealWithTheDevil the devil]] for her crap. |
| 740 | ** If your girlfriend dies, don't worry. [[spoiler:She was probably a clone.]] |
| 741 | ** The only straight people are [[spoiler:secretly monsters]]. |
| 742 | ** If you get amnesia, don't ask questions about your past or try to remember your identity. It won't end well. |
| 743 | * ''VisualNovel/UminekoWhenTheyCry'': |
| 744 | ** If you [[AmbitionIsEvil work hard and always apply yourself to achieving your goals]], then you too can become an utter psychopath. |
| 745 | ** [[color:red:Attaching a color to what someone says is not a symptom of synesthesia, it is the key to understanding what is really going on around you.]] |
| 746 | ** Brutally murdering your loved one's family, over and over again, is a great way to get him to accept you and will make him want to understand you. |
| 747 | * ''Anime/ValvraveTheLiberator'': First rule of surviving: you cannot be a [[TooGoodForThisSinfulEarth genuinely good person or you will die]]. |
| 748 | ** Your only choice in survival is to rely on a [[TheSociopath sociopathic]] former-enemy soldier or have him forcibly assume control. |
| 749 | ** If an ally manages to accidentally screw up a plan, shoot them. |
| 750 | * ''Manga/{{Wagnaria}}'': |
| 751 | ** Beating up men is HILARIOUS! |
| 752 | ** Pedophilia is HILARIOUS! |
| 753 | ** Being a total scumbag is HILARIOUS! |
| 754 | ** Pick the girl that hates you and beats you up at every opportunity rather than the NiceGirl who's [[TokenMiniMoe your type]]. |
| 755 | * ''Anime/AWhiskerAway'': |
| 756 | ** If you have a crush on someone, it's completely fine to stalk them, invade their personal space and boundaries, gain their trust through a false alias, and keep pushing them to hang out with you or like you back even if they make it clear over and over again that they aren't into you. Your feelings for them always justify your actions, and if you push long and hard enough then eventually they ''will'' like you back! |
| 757 | ** If you have a troubled home life, it's ''good'' to pin all your hopes of happiness, meaning, and fulfillment on a romantic crush. They'll like you eventually, and your life really has no meaning outside your crush! (Considering how many RealLife school-aged kids commit suicide due to believing they won't find any happiness if their crush doesn't reciprocate...) |
| 758 | ** Romance is the best and only way to cure suicidal depression. |
| 759 | * ''Anime/WolfChildren'': Young boys can be whoever they want to be! Girls however? Eh... It's better if they just conform to the rest of society. |
| 760 | ** You should totally let your 10-year-old live in the woods if they want to. |
| 761 | ** Hypothermia doesn't exist, so falling into a rushing river in the middle of winter will have no dire consequences. |
| 762 | ** You can only be one or the other. You can't be both. |
| 763 | * ''Anime/WonderEggPriority'': |
| 764 | ** Your male friend/relative/boyfriend/whatever killed himself? Don't bother with the mourning, because men have no emotions! [[{{Anvilicious}} In fact, if you're a man, you should go kill yourself right now! Unless you're trans, because trans rights are human rights, bee-yatcha!]] |
| 765 | * ''VisualNovel/YosugaNoSora'': It's okay to [[{{Twincest}} love and have sex with your twin]]. |
| 766 | * ''Manga/YourLieInApril'': It's fine to pretend to like one person when you actually like another, just to give you an excuse to break into their social circle, even though it will prevent the guy who actually likes you from confession, as long as you have a tragic excuse to do so. |
| 767 | * ''Anime/YuGiOh'': |
| 768 | ** It's fine to run a criminal empire that deals in forgery, extortion, and general thuggery as long as it is your ''really'' crazy other personality that pulls the extreme shit. |
| 769 | ** [[ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney As long as you have money you can get away with anything]]. |
| 770 | ** Countries should drop military spending and invest in a children's card game, that'll make them rich. It worked for [=KaibaCorp=]. |
| 771 | ** Unless you're rich or are in possession of an ancient artifact, don't expect to go far in a tournament. If you do somehow manage to make it to the finals, [[CantCatchUp it's all]] [[FailureIsTheOnlyOption downhill from there]]. |
| 772 | ** No matter how competent you are, you will still lose anyone on one contests against people with more friends than you. |
| 773 | ** To achieve anything of significance you need support, even in one on one contests that ought to carry penalties for assisting each other or during combat, even if your friends are untrained. |
| 774 | ** Friendship is the best thing ever, but it's ok to promise to be someone's friend then ignore them for the rest of the series because they were never a member of your existing circle. Also, there are largely no consequences for taking people less competent than you on dangerous missions, because your friends will keep everyone safe in the end. |
| 775 | ** All psychological problems can be fixed by beating someone in a duel or being persistently friendly to them. |
| 776 | ** It's OK to play around with an artifact you had been told was potentially cursed, as long as you didn't mean any harm. |
| 777 | ** It's fine to treat an imprisoned being like your slave, as long as you're good friends and decide you're good and ready to free them in the end. |
| 778 | ** [[WebVideo/YuGiOhTheAbridgedSeries Bullying is just wrong. Destroying peoples' minds with magical powers is A-OK!]] |
| 779 | ** All your problems can be solved with CardGames. Your worth as a human being is directly related to how good you are at a children's card game. |
| 780 | ** If you're the most competent at what you do and everyone relies on you, it's no-one's fault but yours if you crack under pressure (also applies to GX). |
| 781 | ** Authorities can't do anything other than oppress the poor. |
| 782 | ** Cheating is OK as long as you do it with your heart. |
| 783 | ** Any problem can be solved with '''BROOKLYN RAGE!''' |
| 784 | ** [[AnimationAgeGhetto Liking children's cartoons at an adult age]] is a prime symptom of being a PsychopathicManchild. |
| 785 | ** If you meet someone who has lost any loved ones through no fault of their own, they're probably evil or creepy, and it's okay to rub it in their face how they are all alone and have no friends! |
| 786 | *** Better yet, if someone loses their loved ones, they will always become evil! |
| 787 | ** Never run a balanced deck with multiple copies of your main cards. Just use all different cards to cover as many unlikely situations as you can, you'll always draw the best card for any given situation if you have enough friends. |
| 788 | * ''Anime/YuGiOhGX'': [[TrueArtIsAngsty True heroes are emo, mental, and in a lot of pain]], so if you want to be a hero, [[FaceHeelTurn go bad]]. |
| 789 | ** If you suck at card games, you have no future. Because [[WebVideo/YuGiOhTheAbridgedSeries Card Games are Serious Business]]. |
| 790 | ** ''[[Manga/YuGiOhGX GX Manga]]'': If you want to build your own deck so you can win by your own power, '''''don't'''''. Always stick with the deck your friend/mentor gave you. Otherwise, [[FailureIsTheOnlyOption you will (almost) always lose]]. [[HardWorkHardlyWorks Who cares about success by your own merits anyway?]] |
| 791 | * ''Anime/YuGiOh5Ds'': Treating the poor like criminals and robbing them of their basic human rights is okay if destiny said to. |
| 792 | ** Cards are more important than guns for law enforcement. |
| 793 | ** If you can beat the police in a children's card game, their advanced technology will let you get away scot-free. |
| 794 | ** Institutional discrimination is caused entirely by a single person. Once that person is no longer in power, all bigotry will disappear forever, even if everyone who enforced the previous unequal system is still employed. |
| 795 | * ''Anime/YuGiOhZexal'': Who cares about your achievements? No matter what, people will treat you like crap! Why the fuck were you even born, you walking retardation? |
| 796 | ** Meta: Never write a ZeroToHero plot, or else the FanDumb [[invoked]] will hate the main character for not being a GaryStu. [[invoked]] |
| 797 | ** Fathers are important, mothers are forgettable. |
| 798 | ** Being a woman means you're either worthless or meddling. |
