History Main / DeliberateValuesDissonance

** Anamaria's gender makes Gibbs wary of bringing her on the ship because of the belief that women bring bad luck, but eventually relents. It's historically accurate that sailors were wary of having women on board, and there ''were'' a few notable female pirates during the Golden Age of Piracy, including [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anne_Bonny Anne Bonny]] and [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Read Mary Read]]. The fact that no one even considers it worth mentioning that she's black is also accurate, since pirates loved stealing slave vessels (they had a lot of room), and would happily take on competent sailors regardless of skin colour.

* ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamIronBloodedOrphans'': Post-Calamity War society has regressed socially in a number of ways. The world military is [[FeudalFuture controlled by an aristocracy]], no one bats an eye arranged marriages where one of the parties involved is 11 years old, and polygamy also appears to be socially accepted. There's even a scene where Kudelia and Atra casually discuss which one of them will get to bear Mikazuki's children.

* In ''Film/BlazingSaddles'', Creator/MelBrooks' deconstruction of the Western, all of the "good" townsfolk of Rock Ridge display violent racism toward black, Chinese and (in one scene especially) Irish[[note]]This is not an example of ArsonMurderAndJaywalking. The Irish [[TruthInTelevision really were discriminated against during the time period the film takes place]].[[/note]] people. The process of gaining their trust is a fairly major plot point.

* The 1987 ''Franchise/{{Dragnet}}'' film contrasts the Detective Friday character, who is a throwback to TheFifties, with his more modern new partner played by Creator/TomHanks.

* ''Film/Paddington2014'': The Geographer's Guild expel Montgomery Clyde because he refused to bring home a "specimen" (i.e. the stuffed skin of a talking bear) from Peru. When Montgomery tries to protest that the bears were intelligent and civilized, the Guild blows him off, stating that any definition of "civilized" that does not involve typicaly British things like drinking tea, playing cricket and solving the ''Times'' crossword is broad enough to be meaningless.

* ''Film/TheKingsSpeech'': The first speech therapist promotes cigarettes to calm the nerves and soothe the throat.

* ''Film/WhereTheTruthLies'': The film is set in the 50s and 60s, with the plot hinging on the fact that being publicly known to have sex with a person of your own gender (or wanting this) would be a social death sentence along with prime fodder for {{blackmail}}.

* A case of in universe ValuesDissonance shows up in Volume 11 of ''ComicBook/{{Saga}}''. Alana tries doing a "secret book club" reading with her daughter Hazel and adopted son Squire, reading them her favorite work by Oswald Heist. Heist is an author who secretly snuck anti-war messages into his books, anti-war messages which helped turn both Alana and her husband Marko against the war ripping apart the galaxy, and one of the first things that Marko and Alana bonded over were his books. The kids don't pick up on the subtext and are angry and aghast at one point when the word "retarded" is used, which wasn't considered a slur in previous generations but is for them, and worse still, it has been hurled at Squire because he went mute for years following [[spoiler:the murder of his father]], so the term hits hard for them. It's pretty clear Alana doesn't get why it's such a big deal to them and they react so strongly to it until Hazel points out the way it's been used against Squire as the two are storming away.

** ''Film/BackToTheFuturePartII'': A futuristic example occurs when, explaining a newspaper report a shocked Marty is reading about his son getting swiftly sentenced to a long prison term, the Doc nonchalantly points out that "the justice system works swiftly in the future now that they've abolished all lawyers!" (One need only think about the negative implications of that...)

* ''WesternAnimation/KingOfTheHill'' at times ran on this, as the show was about an old-fashioned conservative family adjusting to a changing world in the TurnOfTheMillennium. One example in particular would be the episode "Revenge of the Lutefisk" in which everyone in Hank's community is skeptical about a new female minister (as Abrahamic religion teaches that men and women have different but complementary roles and responsibilities in society), but warm up to her quickly upon realizing they share common ground like enjoying sports. When she says that female church leaders typically don't last long down South, [[ComicallyMissingThePoint Hank thinks she means because of the temperature]].

* In ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/34346623/chapters/97512555 Hawkmoth Gets a Reference]]''. André Glacier's sweetheart ice cream magic was created by his father, [[HeteronormativeCrusader who believed that love is just a boy and girl together]], which André finds out the hard way when his attempt to [[ShipperOnDeck show his support to a young lesbian couple]] causes his cart to spew out waste ice, [[DespairEventHorizon with the guilt that he can't help queer or polyamory couples leading him to be akumatized]]. Thankfully, Ladybug and Chat Noir's greater control of their powers allows them to reforge the sweetheart ice cream magic to be more progressive.

* ''ComicBook/SupermanSmashesTheKlan'' is set in the 1940's, so casual racism is everywhere, between the depictions of Asians as alien conqueror in film, the racism displayed against the Lees by Chuck, the Klan, and an old police officer, and Clark's own fear of being outed as an alien.

* ''Fanfic/TheNewRetcons'': When Elly [[spoiler: went through a TeenPregnancy with Claire, Jim and Marian’s reaction was to send her to a mother and baby home where she was coerced into giving her daughter up for adoption and then was told to not talk about it, which was seen as normal in the 1960’s. In addition, her grandmother called her unclean for it.]] this fuels much of her mental illness and poor relationships with her children.
** Later, Elly admits that she never actually ''wanted'' children in the first place, but 1970’s social norms of NotWantingKidsIsWeird made force herself to have them.

* ''Fanfic/RocketshipVoyager'' is ''Series/StarTrekVoyager'' written InTheStyleOf a 1950's sci-fi PulpMagazine serial. EverybodySmokes and the eponymous rocketship uses radium, asbestos, and chlorofluorocarbon refrigerant. Spacefleet has a PrimeDirective against [[BoldlyComing miscegenation]]. Despite ''Voyager'' having a female captain, engineers and soldiers are AlwaysMale. Women under thirty are referred to as "girls", African-Americans as "Negroes", B'Elanna Torres is a "half-caste" and Chakotay is a "Red Indian".

* ''Film/Mid90s'' focuses on the much more realistic 90's rather than the [[NostalgiaFilter idealized version]] that is frequently portrayed in popular culture, and as a result, this happens quite a bit.
** Stevie having an [[BigBrotherBully abusive older brother]], and it really not being dealt with by the mother was very much how sibling abuse was like back in the 90's.

** Stevie has a sexual encounter at a party with a girl much older than him. Stevie is 13, but everyone treats it as a great accomplishment. One night stands between people who had age differences between them, even if that person could not legally consent, were very common at parties in the 90's.
** One of the teens faces absolutely no punishment, aside from what is implied to be a guilty conscience for driving drunk and high and nearly getting Stevie killed. This is very much how drunk driving was treated during the decade, as a minor crime, even if people died in a crash.

* ''Film/TeenBeachMovie'' is about a pair of teens from UsefulNotes/TheNewTens getting transported into a 60's-made movie, so this trope is a given. Of particular note is the musical number "Like Me", in which Mack and Brady try (and fail) to convince the 60's teens that they should use more modern tactics to attract a potential lover.

* ''Film/WhereTheTruthLies'': The film is set in the 50's and 60's, with the plot hinging on the fact that being publicly known to have sex with a person of your own gender (or wanting this) would be a social death sentence along with prime fodder for {{blackmail}}.

* ''Film/TheWorldUnseen'': The film takes place in South Africa in the 1950's, and does not gloss over the racism from that era, even among the Indian community, who look down on Amina because of her mixed ancestry. Same-sex relationships of any kind are prohibited and taboo.

* ''TabletopGame/{{FATAL}}'': Half of all men are rapists (and receive less punishment for this than keeping a disorderly house), women are considered DefiledForever for being raped and prostitution is accepted and common. The author flip-flops between saying it's "controversial humour" or that this applies to all of Europe for all of its history because of one book about prostitution in 1400's.

* ''WebAnimation/StrongBadEmail'': [[ParodiedTrope Parodied]] when Strong Bad and the Cheat decide to [[EggSitting take their "baby" (a zip-lok of banana pudding)]] to the King of Town's restaurant [=SteaKastle=] which hasn't been updated since the 70's featuring a high chair that's a bear trap and cigars on the kids menu. Strong Bad opts to go to a modern family day out, a vape shop that also sells hot fries.

* ''Website/CollegeHumor'': [[https://youtu.be/HQ7mJFNkLAU In this]] sketch, the guys want to pull pranks like in the classic 80’s movies. One of the guys tries pointing out a lot of those pranks were basically assault battery and sexual assault and borderline rapes so they wouldn’t be a good idea to pull in the modern age.

* ''WebVideo/Needlem0use'': This series pulls no punches in showcasing the rampant homophobia present in 1960's America, and [[spoiler:Sarah expresses concern about her and her girlfriend Lily's safety to the point where she asks Luther to watch over them]].

'''Bandit''': Yeah, it was the 80's. Mums were allowed to be mean.

** 19th Century-1930’s: It's something of a RunningGag that anti-Irish sentiment was prevalent in Springfield at one point and still leaves traces in the present, which, naturally, has never stopped the town from getting roaringly drunk on St. Patrick's Day.
** 1940’s: In "Stealing First Base", Bart asks Grandpa for help with his latest GirlOfTheWeek, and Grandpa, working off 1940's-era logic, advises him to give her a ShutUpKiss. When Bart kisses the girl out of nowhere, she begins screaming and he gets suspended for sexual assault.

** 1950 & 1960’s: In the episode "Three Men and a Comic Book", Bart sees an old Radioactive Man cartoon wherein the eponymous superhero is smoking.

** 1970’s: The episode "Homer Is Where The Art Isn't", we see Manacek, an stereotypical 1970s-era P.I. whose attitudes towards women ([[WouldHitAGirl including knocking one out cold]]) are now seen as incredibly misogynistic (specially considering that the episode aired at a time [=#MeToo=] and women's lib were hot topics, whereas the former did not exist during production).
** 1980’s: In "Bart Stops to Smell the Roosevelts", Superintendent Chalmers takes over educating Bart, and later other troubled boys. Chalmers hasn't taught since TheEighties, and is disdainful of modern teaching practices. Although he does actually start to make progress with his students, he takes the boys on an unauthorised camping trip in the woods where Nelson is hurt. Chalmers thinks that the (admittedly minor) injuries are no big deal, and is stunned when he is fired.
** 1990’s: Invoked but subverted in "Mr. Spritz Goes to Washington"; Krusty's rival for congress shows an old sketch where he interprets insensitive stereotypes in a UN meeting (A stereotypical Frenchman who stinks worse than his French cheese, a pothead Rastafarian from Jamaica and a San Francisco homosexual). Krusty tries to defend himself by saying that it was a different time... [[NotHelpingYourCase 1998]].
** 2000’s: In the episode, "The Last Temptation of Krust", Krusty performs at a comedy festival, but not really having created any new material in years, his old bits are incredibly outdated, especially an extremely cringeworthy Asian stereotype. He almost retires after the negative responses.
** 2010’s: In the episode "Lisa's Wedding", which takes place fifteen years into the future, this quote from Marge shows what type of content will be acceptable to show on broadcast TV, and doubles as BitingTheHandHumor:

* ''Film/{{Little Women 2019}}'' shows women not being expected to work and their property going automatically to their husbands. Meg also never gets to become an actress because of the stigma towards the profession of acting. Aunt March compares acting to prostitution.

* ''Film/{{Little Women 2019}}'' shows women not being expected to work and their property going automatically goes to their husbands. Meg also never gets to become an actress because of the stigma towards the profession of acting. Aunt March compares acting to prostitution.

* An in-universe example played for comedy can be seen in the marriage of Jessica and Roger Rabbit in ''Film/WhoFramedRogerRabbit''. The two are an extremely mismatched pair; Jessica is an animated pin-up girl with an ImpossibleHourglassFigure and [[WomenAreWiser a great deal of street smarts]], whilst Roger is a hyperactive, bumbling, toony rabbit -- sort of if WesternAnimation/BugsBunny was designed more like WesternAnimation/MickeyMouse, then given a double-helping of comedic bad luck. Both humans and toons comment on the strangeness of the pairing, and that one partner clearly married up. Humans think that it's Roger... but toons think it's ''Jessica''. FridgeBrilliance kicks in as to why the reactions are so different, and it boils down to another layer of this trope; toon culture revolves around comedy and being funny, and Jessica Rabbit? She's a living ''human'' sex symbol that works as a lounge singer -- she pushes human buttons fine, thanks to her figure and her voice, but she literally does nothing for the standard toon, because there's nothing inherently funny about her. Roger, on the other hand, is a successful Hollywood comedian that can get most people laughing, so he's extremely attractive by toon standards.
