History YMMV / ActsOfGord

** He flat out ''doxxed'' one of the thieves and encouraged readers to call the phone number. In the early 2000s, this was somewhat of a WhatTheHellHero moment. In the 2020s? People would be saying DudeNotFunny.

* ValuesDissonance: Gord's constant use of the word "retard" wouldn't fly in the 2020s, in comparison to the late 90s-early 2000s that the store was open during.

* MoralEventHorizon: The whole Apocalypse Book. To make it short: Landlord's Agent has been pocketing money, and blaming the rent shortage on the Gord's store. Gord is overseas at the time he learns this, having left the store in the care of the Guardian. But the Guardian helps the Agent seize the assets of the store. This leads to some of the Gord's friends breaking into his own store and stripping the entire place clear of everything, so the Agent and Guardian get nothing and lose their jobs. And, if they attempt to report Gord to the police, they would eventually have to explain the massive fraud they were about to commit versus the technically illegal theft.

* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: The Gord is willing to physically harm people he could clearly restrain over video games worth about five dollars. Is it justified because they're stealing from him, or is this DisproportionateRetribution? He also has rather toxic attitudes towards welfare recipients. Finally, there's the page where Gord outright ''doxxes'' one of the thieves, encouraging readers to call the phone number and be an ass. Nowadays, that isn't the act of a HeroicComedicSociopath, it's just straight up villainy.

%%* CrazyAwesome: Gord.

** In the short post about the Bulk store, Gord seems to be portraying himself as a "down with the establishment" type hero, when instead it's just him being a jerk to low-paid retail employees who are merely doing their job. In the story, he gets annoyed having to wait in line to show his receipt after paying, a practice used by nearly all bulk stores, so he simply skips out, refusing to show his receipt. If one of Gord's customers had gleefully broken store policy right in front of him, he would simply ban the person (many have, and that was the result). He suggests that having to show his receipt is being "treated like a thief", despite the fact that he frequently calls his own customers thieves right to their faces for wanting to do things like get a mod chip to play copied games.

** He only has bad attitudes towards welfare recipients who try to steal from him or screw him over, and in those cases he gets angry over their waste of his tax dollars on video games instead of using it for necessities or to bolster their finances and pull themselves out of their bad financial situation; these actions absolutely justify his bitterness because these people are bottom-feeding leeches who clearly aren't trying to use the welfare to any positive end. As for store policies, he has a problem with the bulk store's receipt-checking policy because it's illogical due to the fact that there's nothing to steal between checkout and the door, while Gord's store has no such illogical policies. He's not a hypocrite, he just despises illogical policies and refuses to follow them. If he had illogical policies and refused to follow the illogical policies of others, he would be a hypocrite, but that's not the case.

* MagnificentBastard: Gord, upon receiving news of the MoralEventHorizon below, instead of simply trying to stop the plot, ''breaks into his own store'' and takes back all his stuff, completely pulling the rug out from under them.
** Another moment comes from finding a Gameshark that damages the system it's plugged into. He leaves the Gameshark on prominent display just out of his sight. Once stolen, [[http://www.actsofgord.com/Wrath/chapter03.php the amount of customers paying to have their systems fixed greatly increases.]]
