History PlayingWith / RightlySelfRighteous

** In this scenario, the setting is a CrapsackWorld. Resident {{Neighbourhood Friendly Gangster|s}} and NobleDemon [[TheQuietOne Ro]][[TheBigGuy ma]][[TheBrute no]] gets sick of her tirades, and gives her [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech a chewing out he had long overdue ever since her debut]]:
-> Romano: Alice... I am SICK and TIRED of your goddamn lectures. All this moral superiority? What, you think you can just back that up and everyone's going to listen to you, apologize, and that's it? Is that what you think!? (In a SimpletonVoice) Oh, I'm a gangster, and I do crimes like beat the shit out of someone or steal shit, and you're doing charity or whatever the fuck. (In normal voice) I HAD NO OTHER OPTION! I'm way too fucking broke to get even a [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere ticket out of this dump]], and there are no jobs to look for, and if you dare say that I've wasted my life on crime, well guess what: MY LIFE WAS ALREADY WASTED WHEN MY MOM SHAT ME OUT! You've treated the lot of us like sub-humans, and that's not morally superior! You think you're so goddamn high and mighty, acting like TheParagon while in reality you're just belittling other people who you think are utterly irreformable? Well think again! ThisIsReality, and you're just a delusional bitch! '''''[[PunctuatedForEmphasis WAKE!!! THE!!! FUCK!!! UP!!!]]'''''
--> Phew, I've AlwaysWantedToSayThat.

** Can't reconstruct 8. Romano is right, he literally can't do anything about his situation other than just crime. He can't just try and change at all, because the town he lives in is genuinely terrible and it wants to keep him in. So all he can really do now is just live out the rest of his days doing crime because he can't do anything else to get out of his terrible situation.

** Alice is the most popular girl in school because of her perfect morality and bullying those who really are nowhere near as virtuous automatically counts as a KickTheSonOfABitch moment.

* Since Alice thinks she's better than the people she helps, she [[LackOfEmpathy doesn't consider their viewpoints]]. As a result, her efforts to do good are [[StupidGood clueless]] and/or [[CondescendingCompassion condescending]], more often than not ending up as UnwantedAssistance.

** Alice may be a good person, but since [[HumansAreFlawed everyone around her is morally flawed]] or just [[HumansAreBastards mean]], she believes that [[GoodIsNotNice she doesn't need a reason to be kind to them about it.]]

** JerkSue.

* '''Enforced''': "Let's create the [[MarySue perfect character]] that other character hates because they are right!"

* '''Conversed''': "I have a feeling that the author has created the ultimate JerkSue."

* '''Exaggerated''': Alice is the most arrogant character in the series, possibly so arrogant that she will give any {{narcissist}}ic villain on the planet a run for their money, but she really is the ultimate IncorruptiblePurePureness.

** Alice sees herself as [[EvilerThanThou more evil than everyone]], but she is always proven right.
** Alice sees herself as the evilest entity in the universe, and is [[CardCarryingVillain correct about it]].

** Alice's haughty demeanor has driven people away from her, while she didn't care less at first, she then begins to realize that [[AllOfTheOtherReindeer neither anybody wants to be friends with her because of her attitude]] nor help out her out in times of hardship.

** Alice's self-righteous attitude is what ends up dooming her genuinely righteous perspective; that while she may be morally true and sound, her own pride ocan overshadow the rest of the qualities.

** No way to reconstruct 8, as Romano could never find anyone willing to hire him even before he turned to crime. Some might say he wasted his life on crime, but in truth, his life was completely wasted the moment he was born.

--> Bob: ''[[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech "You've been treating us all like we were freaking sub-humans for the last two hours, so don't you dare try to say that you're the one with the superior sense of morality here]]'', '''''[[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT!!!]]"'''''

** "You've been treating us all like we were freaking sub-humans for the last two hours, ''so don't you dare try to say that you're the one with the superior sense of morality here'', '''''BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT'''''!!!"

** Despite the criticisms in-universe and out regarding how blunt Alice is with her greater sense of morals and integrity, [[TheExtremistWasRight her very forward approach actually pays out to everyone's benefit in the long run]] since those that do listen to her end
** When confronted about whether her own pride in her morality actually compromises her in the first place, Alice responds by correcting them. It's not pride that's the sin, but ''hubris'', which goes to people who's ''selfishness'' puts them above others and thus refuse to acknowledge limits or contribution of others. Alice has never fallen to any of these pittraps, being fully willing to acknowledge her own imperfection and praising what the others have done. While she could be considered a show-off when it comes to her virtues, all of it is completely genuine; basically AwesomeEgo applied to morality. As such, this makes her come off as more moral since she's not overtly prideful and she has the right to be confident in her strong suits like everyone else. She's confident in that she's a good person and not affected by the attempted piercing questions of others and encourages others to try and be better.

** Alice befriends other characters who do meet her standards of goodness and around them, she comes off as actually quite pleasant to be around and enjoyable. Additionally, when her old friends meet her new ones, the dichotomy reveals that Alice's criticisms were completely valid all along.

* '''Straight''': Alice shoves down her HolierThanThou attitude towards everyone's throats, but she really is morally superior to everyone.

** Alice befriends other characters who are just as openly pious as her. Around a different crowd of people with similar interests and goals, she is presented as vindicated and correct.
** Despite the criticisms in-universe and out regarding the bluntness of Alice's moral virtues, [[TheExtremistWasRight her very forward approach actually pays out to everyone's benefit in the long run]].
** When confronted about Pride, she corrects the critic by pointing out the proper definition in that it goes to people who's selfishness puts them above others and that however show-offy she can be with her morals, she has never fell into the trappings of pride (refusal to acknowledge limits or contribution of others) because she ''is'' a genuinely good person.
** Alice knows she is more moral than other people and her behavior for it is just a form of AwesomeEgo at work or she strives to be TheParagon and hopes to try and inspire people to be better than themselves.

** Alice's self-righteous attitude is what ends up dooming her genuinely righteous perspective; that while she may be morally true and sound, her own pride overshadows the qualities.

** Alice befriends other characters who are just as openly pious as her and as such, she comes off ss incredably likeable since the atmosphere of percieved haughtiness is no longer present.
** Despite the criticisms in-universe and out regarding the bluntness of Alice's moral virtues, [[TheExtremistWasRight her very forward approach actually pays out to everyone's benefit in the long runs]].
** Alice reveals she only turns up her self-righteous nature because she wants her friends to follow [[TheParagon her example]] and be the best versions they can be because she very much cares for them, even if she [[ToughLove can seem insensitive about it.]]

** Alice befriends other characters who are just openly pious as she is unlike the "friends" she previously hung out with.
** But no matter how it seems wrong, [[TheExtremistWasRight her crazy and questionable actions were really for the best]].
** Alice tones down her self-righteous nature with her friends and only indulges it when she needs to.

* '''Straight''': Alice shoves down her HolierThanThou attitude towards everyone's throats, but she really is morally superior than everyone.

* '''Downplayed''': Alice is a fairly level headed StraightMan, albeit sometimes a tad pushy and uptight in trying to keep others in line.

** Alice has done every good deed known to mankind and mocks everyone who doesn't. Because of this, {{God}} rewards her to go to Heaven while [[EasyRoadToHell everyone else goes to Hell.]]

** "Immoral people like you should learn a lot more from a righteous person like me."

'''Lenny''': But sadly, she's always right about everything.
