* ''WebAnimation/RWBY'': The residents of [[TheWonderland the Ever After]] are like this. They dedicate their entire lives to a single purpose, which, after accomplishing, they “ascend” and reincarnate as new versions of themselves without any conscious memories of their previous lives. Much of the conflict of volume nine centers on how disturbing the human characters find the idea of undergoing [[DeathofPersonality Death of Personality]], but to the Afterans themselves it’s just a fact of life, to the point that they find it more upsetting to remain their current selves after their purpose is complete.

* If you join ''Encyclopedia Dramatica'' you're free to post racism, sexism, and vulgarities with impunity. Post a ''Creator/ChuckNorris'' fact anywhere on the site, and you'll be permabanned in a nanosecond.

* ''Blog/LessWrong'''s ''Literature/ThreeWorldsCollide'' features aliens called [[spoiler:baby-eaters]], and it's no mere translation error: they're of a species that [[spoiler:produces hundreds of babies per litter, almost all of which die]], and now that they're civilized they know it's horribly irresponsible to [[spoiler:overrun the world with your own children]]. [[spoiler:Contraception]] would presumably fix this, but why abandon your greatest virtue for a needless technical fix? They also don't understand forgiveness, using the same word for "mercy" and "wrong." They used to fight genocidal wars over mere disagreement, but have since learned that you can be merely mistaken and not evil -- as long as you see reason when properly informed. Good thing we're more advanced than they are.

* This is constantly on display in ''Podcast/WelcomeToNightVale'', where the townspeople are ConditionedToAcceptHorror and think government-induced plagues, human sacrifice lotteries, arming schoolchildren, and kidnapping the loved ones of voters in an effort to ensure "correct" voting is a normal, necessary part of American life. (Given the implications that Night Vale is barely holding back a variety of extra-dimensional horrors at any one time, they may not be wrong.) However, a barber cutting the perfect hair of the most beautiful man in town is totally cause to run that barber out of town. Also, a white guy wearing a cartoonish feather headdress and referring to himself as "The Apache Tracker" is still totally racist.
** This is extra apparent in their conflict with Desert Bluffs, a town of equal and opposite horrors that are normal to them, but disturbing to Night Vale.

* Blag Hag wrote [[http://www.blaghag.com/2009/04/natural-sexuality.html a short story]] concerning animal morality, somewhat different from humans.

* ''WebOriginal/HamstersParadise'' has the first sapient species, the Harmsters, to be this trope. They are a violent, bloodthirsty race of GrotesqueCute rodents who are fond of cannibalism and murder and genocide. But while they seem AlwaysChaoticEvil in human eyes, this trope is at play: the Harmsters descend from a predator species that eats its prey alive, they reproduce fast enough to easily replace losses and thus don't care about their own kind, and have also observed that NatureIsNotNice with carnivores killing herbivores, which kill plants, which in turn kill each other and the animals that eat them, so as far as the Harmsters are concerned, murder is okay since all living things exist solely to destroy other life, and are defined by what they destroy.

* Some interpretations of Franchise/{{the Slender Man|Mythos}}.

** [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-2006 SCP-2006]] just wants to scare people. Not kill them or trap them in some FateWorseThanDeath, but just a good-natured spook for fun, usually [[JumpScare jumping out]] and yelling boo. It's actually quite friendly, cooperative, and jovial otherwise. Its containment and danger ironically both come from its lack of understanding concerning human psychology. The Foundation has convinced SCP-2006 that cheesy B-movies like ''Film/RobotMonster'' are the epitome of horror and must act terrified whenever it tries to scare them regardless of its form. Should SCP-2006 breach containment, [[NotSoHarmlessVillain it could learn about things like phobias, nuclear war, or even an XK-class scenario, turning a funny prank into]] TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt. And there's [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/the-meaning-of-fear the tale]] that implies it's learning what ''really'' what scares the Foundation...

** The Foundation ''itself.'' They do some truly horrible things ForTheGreaterGood to the point that it's impossible to call them 'the good guys,' but also protect the world from some seriously NightmareFuel-tastic [[ArtifactOfDoom Artifacts Of Doom]]. They also PetTheDog to a surprising degree on occasion, and many refer to homes and families and just more ''life outside the Foundation'' than you'd think they'd have. It only increases the effectiveness of the horror around them -- these people are not as inhuman as you want them to be even as they do some inhuman things.
*** As they sometimes have to remind us, they're cold, not cruel.

** Another alien race with its own Blue and Orange Morality is horrified that we let people [[spoiler:have unhappy love affairs]]. What an atrocity!

* Part of what makes [[Literature/WhateleyUniverse Jobe Wilkins]] come across as a JerkAss is that his/her sense of morality -- yes, s/he does have one -- is so thoroughly out of sync with just about everyone else's. Being an InsufferableGenius with 'all the tact of a ''T. rex'' with a toothache' doesn't help, though.

** [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-962 SCP-962]] is a tower (or something inside the tower, it isn't made clear) that sees humanity as "The Great Ones," ranting constantly about its love for us. It shows its "love" by [[BodyHorror taking animals and alternating them to look]] [[UncannyValley vaguely more human]], and promises to "clean" the lesser creatures from the Earth.

* The Wiki/SCPFoundation has a few examples of this. One notable one is [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-890 SCP-890]], the Rocket Surgeon. He views mechanical objects as patients and humans as unnecessary flesh. However, he's a rather creepy example.

* ''Machinima/RedVsBlue'': The Delta [[ArtificialIntelligence AI]] claims that "good and evil are human constructs", and tends to focus on whatever produces the most logical, optimal, and courteous result. He'll do things like wish an enemy good luck, attempt to talk one into helping with a WhatIsEvil speech, suggest ShootTheDog solutions, or even outright admit he might side with the enemy... while simultaneously performing acts of aid, kindness, self-sacrifice, and loyalty to his allies and bystanders as well. All with a blandly friendly, sincere, and non-malicious demeanor.
