* ''[[Fanfic/TatteredRemainsOfBrokenDreams Tattered Remains of Broken Dreams (Yours, Not Mine)]]'': When Marinette sees the ripped-up remains of her sketchbook, the culprits expect her to burst into tears... but are taken aback when she calmly takes a few pictures of the carnage before clearing it away. She then explains that was her ''school'' sketchbook, filled with all her school-related projects -- and after the exchange below, goes on to explain that means the class just lost out on all the work she'd been doing ''for them'':
-->'''Rose:''' But you worked so hard.\\
'''Mylène:''' You worked in it every day for months.\\
'''Marinette:''' Yeah, it sucks. ''For you.''

** Upon finding out Nezu hired the MSF to guard UA after the USJ attack, All Might points out there are heroes he could hire.
---> '''Nezu''': And all are under the control of the HPSC. And those that are not are too few to keep the school safe.
*** When the press attempt to demonize the MSF, Nezu asks them if they have any information to prove that the MSF ''are'' villains. The reporters have nothing, while Madam President is pissed due to whatever evidence they have linking the HPSC to even worse crimes.
** When Bakugou attacks Akatani [[SoreLoser with the intent to give bodily harm as payback for losing in the class trial]], Akatani has only this to say.
---> '''Akatani''': [[FailedASpotCheck Is that before, or after I pull the trigger on this gun?]]

Later, she tries to gloat about how she doesn't ''need'' Marinette's help, only to fluster and storm off when Marinette calmly observes that she's just admitted far more than she intended:
-->'''Alya:''' Just so you know, I don't need you. Lila promised to [[ScrewTheRulesIHaveConnections get me some top notch interviews]].\\
'''Marinette:''' So you're admitting you only wanted to be friends again because of what I could do for you. Huh. ''(smirks knowingly)'' Thought so.

--> '''Present Mic''': Here's a radical idea: stay awake in class and actually '''''teach the students who are actually in your class for once in your life!''''' It's not like UA's a '''''school''''' or anything!

** During "Crocoduel", Anarka declares that there's something Juleka doesn't know about Jagged Stone. Juleka bluntly replies, "What, that he's my dad?", revealing shortly afterwards that despite their mother's best efforts, she's ''always'' known who her father was.
** Attempted during the denouncement of "Zombizou". When Mme. Bustier laments her akumatization, claiming that letting her negative emotions get the better of her makes her a horrible person, Marigold idly remarks that "Then I guess that means nearly all of your students are 'terrible', given how many of them were also akumatized." Caline tries to defend her class, which Marigold uses to point out that having negative emotions is perfectly normal. Sadly, Caline [[DramaticallyMissingThePoint fails to understand]] that her students disliking Chloé for being an unrepetant bully is both normal and reasonable.
** When "Sandboy" uses his powers to reveal [[WhatDoTheyFearEpisode what all the Miraculous heroes fear most]], he's upset that Pigella's deepest fear is her collection of [[GirlsLoveStuffedAnimals plush animals]] coming to life and revealing that they hate her. He yells at her about this, only to be caught off guard by her reply:
--->'''Sandboy:''' How come your nightmare's so weak?! That's cheating! Don't you have any '''real''' problems?!\\
'''Pigella:''' I have '''plenty''' of problems! But if I only focused on what could go wrong, I'd never move forward! I want to think of the good things in my life! Just like I know there are good things in yours! You just need a reminder! '''''Gift!'''''
** "Reverser" has Chloé attempting to insult several of her peers by claiming all of the art they create isn't worth anything, only for them to point out her attempts to [[StealingTheCredit steal their work]]:
--->'''Chloé:''' ''(pointing at Juleka and Rose)'' '''''No one cares about your dumb baby unicorn songs!'''''\\
'''Juleka:''' '''You''' seemed to care when you helped XY ''rip us off''. We literally have a recording contract.\\
'''Chloé:''' ''(whirling on Marinette)'' '''''Y-your designs are trash!'''''\\
'''Marinette:''' Gabriel '''Agreste''' and Jagged '''Stone''' don't think so. And you ''also'' tried stealing my "trash" designs. '''''Twice.'''''
** During the denouncement of "Queen Bee", Master Fu accuses Marinette of wanting to horde the powers of [[spoiler:both the Ladybug and Bee Miraculouses]]. Marinette retorts that "Who cares about power?! I care about ''Pollen!''", causing him to realize that he'd misjudged the situation.

* ''Webcomic/ScarletLady'':
** When Stormy Weather attacks one of the [=KIDZ+=] employees who'd been selling merchandise for the Weather Girl contest, she demands to know where all of ''her'' merch is. His response causes her to realize the contest might have been rigged against her from the start:
--->'''Stormy Weather:''' And where are '''''MY''''' balloons?! The contest only just ended!\\
'''[=KIDZ+=] Employee:''' [[WhamLine T-they just told us to make Mireille merch!]] I-I don't know why!\\
'''Stormy Weather:''' ''([[{{Beat}} stares at him for a moment]] before kicking the cart away)'' Hawkmoth, I need to have a '''''chat''''' with the producers real quick.
** Two of these happen in "Rogercop": When Mayor André attempts to illegally confiscate Nino's phone, he snarls "[[YouHaveNoIdeaWhoYoureDealingWith Do you know who you're]] ''[[YouHaveNoIdeaWhoYoureDealingWith dealing with]]?" Nino snaps back "''I know you're the guy my parents won't be voting for when I tell them you're trying to steal from me!''", spurring the other adults present to agree. Later, when Tom demands to know why Alya didn't stop Chloé from dragging Marinette towards the akuma, Alya retorts that HE [[AdultsAreUseless didn't intervene either]].
** "Catalyst" has one that takes multiple stages. When Bustier attempts to convince Zoé that they should force the whole class to throw a party to cheer up her half-sister, Zoé points out the obvious flaw in that plan. Bustier then attempts to downplay and dismiss the severity of Chloé's mistreatment, only for Zoé to reveal ''how'' she knows about her sibling's history of abuse and why she cares so much:
--->'''Zoé:''' You ''know'' Chloé bullied the entire class, '''right?'''\\
'''Mme. Bustier:''' "Bullied" is a little--\\
'''Zoé:''' '''''I''''' know because she '''bragged''' about it. Look, I know what it's like to be bullied.\\
'''Mme. Bustier:''' ''(sweatdropping, mouth twitching as she fights to maintain her smile)'' O-oh?\\
'''Zoé:''' It doesn't feel ''good'' and it doesn't ''go away'', especially if the bully isn't '''''sorry'''''. [[TheUnapologetic Which Chloé isn't]].

* ''Fanfic/WhereWeDontBelong'': When Mio and Sena overhear Vandham refuting Rex's TechnologicalPacifist stance by noting that armies rely on far more than just weapons and that one way or another everyone is involved in the "war", the former doesn't take that very well given the ForeverWar she spent so much time ending on Aionios and tries to refute him in turn. Vandham still manages to pick apart her argument just as succinctly as he did Rex's.
-->'''Mio:''' [Sena and I have] seen too much war not to know [life can be cruel]. But I don't want to believe that's all there is to our lives. There's more than conflict in this world... I know it.\\
'''Vandham:''' It's noble to want peace, Mio. But even peace is a resource to be fought over. After all, that's why Mor Ardain and Uraya are at each other's throats… because they want that peace and security, even at the expense of others.

* ''Fanfic/DekiruTheFusionHero'': Todoroki dislikes Izuku's [[AllYourPowersCombined Human Fusion]] Quirk as it reminds him of his parents' Quirk marriage, causing him to view Izuku as an abuser despite how his powers rely on trust and teamwork. When he repeatedly harps on and insults his abilities, Izuku finally snaps back "What do you want me to do, only use half of my Quirk?"
* ''Fanfic/DekuIThinkHesSomePro'':
** When Izuku's mentors learn about how [[BarbaricBully Katsuki treats him]], he attempts to defend him, only for Aizawa to counter with one of these:
--->'''Izuku''': B-but that doesn't make any sense! If he hurt me, it must be because I did something bad! We've been best friends ever since we were kids!\\
'''Aizawa:''' Deku, friends don't hurt each other.
** Izuku returns the favor when Aizawa's about to expel Katsuki after their first training exercise. He insists that it isn't Bakugou's fault, and when Aizawa retorts that it's not ''his'' fault either, calmly replies "I know." This catches Aizawa's attention and gives him a chance to explain the way Katsuki was [[BigJerkOnCampus coddled]] at [[SuckySchool Aldera]].
** When Izuku tries to avoid being involved with Principal Nedzu's takedown of his old middle school:
--->'''Izuku:''' Let's say I agree with you. Wouldn't it be easier to let the police or the parents resolve the issue? Why should I be the one to take them down?\\
'''Nedzu:''' Because you're a hero.
** During one of his therapy sessions, Katsuki insists that Kirishima is "just some extra". He's clearly taken aback when Hound Dog points out that despite his protests, Katsuki actually remembers Kirishima's name.
** When Katsuki asks Mirko about being the strongest, she retorts that it's just a meaningless title -- what actually matters is having the strength to pull through when lives are on the line.
** After learning that Izuku has been working to undermine Endeavor's reputation, Tenya starts [[WhatTheHellHero berating him]], claiming that it's conduct unbecoming of a hero. Izuku bluntly reminds Tenya that he was planning to ''murder'' Stain himself.

** When Rolland tries to exploit her mother's illness by forcing Marinette to follow HIS recipes and traditions instead, she points out [[DidntThinkThisThrough that he's not taking their customers into consideration]]. Then she throws his own callous claims about Sabine back in his face:
--->'''Marinette:''' ''(interrupting him insulting her mother again)'' If you can't do what our customers want, then you need to leave.\\
'''Rolland:''' ''Customers, what????''\\
'''Marinette:''' It doesn't matter what I or you think is the right way to bake bread. What our customers ''buy'' is rice bread. If you can't make the product we're supposed to be selling, then you need to leave.\\
'''Roland:''' How in the world are you supposed to cook all that bread by yourself?!\\
'''Marinette:''' Well! Considering you think my mom is never gonna come back, I'd better get used to opening up the store alone, right?
** When Chloé gloats about how her family has hired the Dupain-Chengs for a job, taunting Marinette about having to work for her, Marinette counters her bringing up Sabine by pointing out Chloé's issues with her own mother:
--->'''Chloé:''' Of course Marinette is going to cook for me, I actually have the money to pay her since she's got all those dead-mom bills or whatever!\\
'''Marinette:''' at least my mom had to die to be apart from me, yours would rather be in New York than stomach your presence.

Viceroy promptly calls her out on her MoralMyopia while she averts her eyes, unable to meet his DeathGlare:
--->'''Viceroy:''' Even after hearing what he's done, you're still going to try to rescue him?\\
'''Emelie:''' ...He's my responsibility, and my judgment would devestate him more than any revenge you could concoct, Butterfly holder. Now please--\\
'''Viceroy:''' ''Please?'' I'm not surprised you think that way. After all, you're still using the peacock even after hearing your little stints are murdering people. I wonder who you're killing now, Mayura?

As Tikki launches into one of her usual lectures about how Marinette ''needs'' to be strong enough to withstand such emotional abuse, Marinette interrupts her, summarizing her usual talking points before declaring that it's only a matter of time before Hawkmoth wins, as she ''can't'' repress her despair forever. This gets Tikki to realize how her well-meaning advice has only been hurting Marinette, spurring her to immediately change tactics and [[ForWantOfANail set the rest of the plot in motion]].
