** Co-creator Creator/SteveDitko a few years after he finished Spider-Man became known as an Objectivist, and his abrupt departure is often seen as a result of a political disagreement between him and Lee. Much of which is conjecture and unverifiable because Ditko was a famous ReclusiveArtist who refused to discuss Spider-Man in detail after he quit. After Ditko left, Lee who was himself quite apolitical at the time but tended to go with general social trends once they became mainstream, in later years would use Spider-Man to put out VerySpecialEpisode most notably the "drug trilogy" and where Ditko in TheSixties made fun of college protestors as BourgeoisBohemian, Lee trying to tap into the college crowd he had come to know on the campus lecture circuit showed them more sympathetically.

* ''Fanfic/TheSaviorKingTheMasterTacticianAndTheQueenOfLiberation'' has at least two such instances where characters echo the author's pet peeves about certain aspects of ''VideoGame/FireEmblemThreeHouses''. One chapter has Claude verbally ream Lonato over his attacking his adopted son Ashe during the Magdred Way chapter (citing ''VideoGame/FireEmblemGaiden'' as a counter-example). Another has several characters ranting about the implausibility of [[spoiler:Edelgard's]] post-war ambitions, echoing the author's criticisms of that character's story route.

** He is vocally atheist (likely as a result of growing up in Belfast, the epicenter of UsefulNotes/TheTroubles), and many of his stories feature mocking depictions of God. Of especial note is ''ComicBook/{{Preacher}}'', in which God is the main villain and is revealed to be behind every crisis in history as a demented test to see what humanity's limit for loving him is - to the point that there's a scene set in the late 1800s where he sends his plans to cause UsefulNotes/TheHolocaust to Satan and an angel of death for proofreading.

%%* There are myriad fanfics that have UsefulNotes/OsamaBinLaden being skewered by [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII Cloud's]] {{BFS}}.
%%* There's an ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'' fanfic featuring Zuko and a self-insert girl starting a communist revolution.
%%* There was a ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'' fanfic wherein 9/11 brought Spike to tears. And not in a jealous "Why can't I be that evil?" way. In a [[TheWoobie woobie]] needing-a-cuddle-to-make-the-bad-go-away way.

* Cori Falls. Trying to find a fic where she doesn't preach the glories of paganism and the evils of "mainstream" popular kids is like finding a needle in a haystack.

* Very common in ''Franchise/HarryPotter'' fanfics:
** In the infamous ''Fanfic/MyImmortal'', everyone turns into a goffik Stanist who swears a lot and sticks their middle finger up at preps. They also develop an unhealthy preoccupation with slitting their wrists. However, due to its status as a ([[PoesLaw possible]]) TrollFic, this ridiculousness is likely quite intentional.
%%** There is a fic about Harry Potter [[RedScare battling the threat of communism]]. It had Lucius Malfoy as a communist who was taking over the Ministry of Magic, and they planned to defeat him by... pointing out the fallacies of communism. The first Harry Potter book is set in 1991, the year the UsefulNotes/ColdWar ended.
%%** In many conversion fics, Harry abandons 'witchcraft' and becomes devoted to some monotheistic religion.
* While labeled as ''Webcomic/HetaliaAxisPowers'' fanfics of all things, the stories ''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6048227/1/APH-Israel-s-Workout Israel's workout]]'' and ''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5874478/1/Axis-Powers-Hetalia-Two-Americas The Two Americas]]'' are really very extreme Conservative and racially insensitive propaganda at that. The first depicts the AnthropomorphicPersonification of Palestine as an AxCrazy thug and ends with the protagonist, Israel, ranting about how Palestinians are AlwaysChaoticEvil. The Second depicts a ''UsefulNotes/BarackObama'' as a [[StrawCharacter Straw Liberal]] that antagonizes the "real" conservative America.

%%* One ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog'' fic has a female velociraptor (with wings) who converts Sonic and the other Freedom Fighters to Christianity.
%%* One ''Franchise/SuperMarioBros'' fanfic had a Koopa kid converting another to Christianity via EasyEvangelism for no good plot-related reason.
* In the fic ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/14260348/1/Metropolis Metropolis]]'', the heroine has narrowly avoided being [[IHaveYouNowMyPretty raped]] and delivers a ShutUpHannibal speech to the perpetrator. The speech is about how she doesn't need him, she can protect herself...and he referred to a friend of hers by the wrong pronouns.

* The biggest failing of ''Film/LadyInTheWater'' was that it was just two hours of Creator/MNightShyamalan rubbing his self-indulgence in our faces. The movie is pretty much centered around inspiring a writer (not surprisingly, played by Shyamalan himself) into writing a book that will change the world for the better at the cost of being martyred in a HeroicSacrifice. He also includes a TakeThat against the [[TakeThatCritics film critics]] who gave his earlier movies negative reviews by putting in a film critic character who is an [[StrawCritic arrogant, unlikeable man]] who dies a horrible death... and was one of the most popular characters among viewers.

** He hates superheroes, and with the exception of Superman, Daredevil, and Spider-Man, usually writes them as complete morons. ''ComicBook/ThorVikings'' is his best example.

** He's also vocally atheist, and many of his stories feature mocking depictions of God.

** A popular guess among readers is that his views on religion and hero-figures were shaped by his living through [[UsefulNotes/TheTroubles the Irish religious wars]].

* A somewhat humorous example: ''ComicBook/AnimalMan''. Creator/GrantMorrison used it to constantly pitch for animal rights, particularly stating that HumansAreTheRealMonsters and eating animals is wrong. [[MediumAwareness Part of the plot was also the fact that the main character was slowly realizing he was in a comic book.]] In the last issue of Morrison's run, Animal Man and [[AuthorAvatar Morrison]] talk face to face, and Animal Man points out that animal rights are all well and good - but sometimes they verged on eco-terrorism. And that sharing minds with animals shouldn't automatically make you a vegetarian since half of the time you're going to be sharing minds with a carnivore. And all of this felt like CharacterDerailment. Morrison admits they has some good points but wonders if the next writer will take that too far and have Animal Man run down a zebra and eat it alive. As both a ContinuityNod and a TakeThat, the ''next writer had him do just that in the very next issue.''

* Jamie Delano's run on ''ComicBook/{{Hellblazer}}'' is quite blatant about its left-wing politics, with [[{{Anvilicious}} subtle nods]] like demons celebrating UsefulNotes/MargaretThatcher's election (since it will result in more miserable people looking to [[DealWithTheDevil sell their souls]]), tracts against nuclear power, and active promotion of "free love" hippie lifestyles, to the point that the FinalBoss of the run, a giant dragon god, is defeated by Constantine and his two love interests having a threesome [[SexMagic under the right mystical circumstances]]. Delano's run on ''ComicBook/AnimalMan'' also features the titular hero and his daughter founding a hippie commune.

* ''ComicBook/StrikeforceMorituri'': The transition from series creator Peter Gillis to James Hudnall (starting with issue #21) is marked by a '''very''' distinct and accelerated retooling of the series. Established characters are killed off at a rapid pace (at least one per issue), new characters are quickly added, the war with the Horde is ended with an offscreen CurbStompBattle, existing storylines and {{Sequel Hooks}} are quietly abandoned, and the character-driven {{Soaperizing}} plots are replaced with CorruptCorporateExecutive GovernmentConspiracy stories.
