Harry then proceeds to go on a royal rant, pointing out Dumbledore knew how the Dursleys treated him, but did nothing, robbing Harry of his childhood, only to still send him back to the same environment year after year, (made worse after the psychologically damaging deaths of Cedric and Sirius), kept information about Harry's family from him, (Harry's own classmates knew more than he did), and no faculty members were forthcoming), not standing up to Fudge in regards to Voldemort's resurrection, (Which could have prevented a lot of their current problems), as well as excusing Snape's hatred of him and abuse of other students. He finishes by asking why Dumbledore expects him to trust him after all that?

* ''FanFic/IWillNotBow'': In its sequel ''Blazing Generations'', Akane's StageMom only ever thinks about how to promote her career as the IdolSinger Akimi, to the extent that she leaks information on where Akane's attending school to the {{paparazzi}}, and is determined to turn the singing competition at school into a publicity stunt for Akane and force her to resume her career at the end of the school year whether Akane likes it or not. In chapter 66, when she furiously chews Akane out for dropping out of the competition in favor of Lilly, calling her a "loser girl with no reputation," Akane has finally had enough; she gives her mother an ArmorPiercingSlap, furiously calls her out over her attitude and actions, and fires her as her manager, declaring that the idol business has turned her into a different person and she wants her mom back.

* In ''Fanfic/{{Restraint}}'', Azula calls out her father Ozai for years of abuse and [[spoiler:rape]], before she [[spoiler:burns half of his face]].

[[AC:''Franchise/{{Batman}}'']]
* Stephanie Brown's argument with Batman in ''Fanfic/AngelOfTheBat'' deconstructing his claim that he "thought she was alive" after the events of War Games just reeks of this, though she does bitterly point out that he can't be her old man, since no matter how hard she tried, he never let her into his family.

[[AC:''Franchise/TheDCU'']]
* ''Fanfic/KaraOfRokyn'': During a heated argument, [[ComicBook/{{Supergirl}} Kara]] finally tells [[Franchise/{{Superman}} her cousin]] exactly how she feels about having been dumped into an orphanage when she was fifteen by her only living relative and then forced to hide her powers for months. Kal fires back she is editing facts out to make his actions look worse than they were. At the end, Kal admits he was also afraid of her getting hurt by his enemies when her existence became public, and Kara forgives him.
* Indirectly features in ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/14344743 Multiverse Constant]]'', when [[ComicBook/SuperSons Jon Kent and Damian Wayne]] arrive in the universe of ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice2010'', as Jon is quick to criticise the alternate Superman for his attitude towards Conner/Superboy, thus encouraging Superman to open up more to his clone to the extent that he introduces Conner and Jon to his parents.



[[AC:''Franchise/FireEmblem'']]
* ''Fanfic/ABrighterDark'': Camilla does this after Corrin returns, accusing Garon of essentially turning her into a [[SuicideMission suicide bomber.]] Garon reacts pretty calmly, stating that 1) that is pretty much exactly what he did. 2) It was indeed a pretty dickish thing to do. And 3) [[IDidWhatIHadToDo He's not particularly sorry, since he wasn't given a lot of other options.]]



* In the fifteenth chapter of ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10400485/1/Stranded Stranded]]'', when Anna and Elsa reunite with their parents in the same island they're trapped on, Anna's first response after meeting them is to call them out for ruining both her and Elsa's childhood, especially the latter and also accusing them of causing the events of ''Frozen'' to have happened in the first place. Anna goes as far as to say that she preferred her sister over her parents, although they took it too literally and assumed that Anna didn't love them anymore, causing them to run away in tears, which made Anna realized she took it a bit too far.

* In ''FanFic/{{Unshakable}}'', Tohru tearfully calls Ren out for her callousness towards Akito, unable to understand how Ren could hate someone she gave birth to. Ren appears genuinely moved for a second before [[IgnoredEpiphany brushing it off]].
-->'''Tohru''': You speak of your child... as if she were a stranger. How can you... hate someone... that you bore from your womb? That person should be special to you. Even more so that... your husband is dead...

[[AC:''Anime/GirlsUndPanzer'']]
* In ''Fanfic/BoysUndSenshado'', Shiho gets this twice.
** The first comes in Chapter 7, from Miho's LoveInterest [[OriginalCharacter Akio]], (whose family despises Shiho), after Shiho [[spoiler:visits Miho in the hospital and disowns her]].
--->'''Akio''': The only one here that’s a disgrace here is you, Nishizumi. Victory or nothing? If that was true, wouldn’t Maho’s defeat have been enough for you to give her a chance? Miho is twice the tank commander you ever were Shiho.\\
'''Shiho''': I will not be spoken to in such a fashion!\\
'''Akio''': It’s the only fashion you deserve to be spoken to. Sensha-do isn’t just about victory. It’s about camaraderie and friendship. Miho faced your team outnumbered more than two to one and she won. With her leadership a team made up of inferior tanks bested yours with their King Tigers, Maus, and Panthers. She beat Maho herself in a singular duel with a Panzer IV. Why are you punishing her for doing well?\\
'''Shiho''': [[ShutUpKirk That is not what Sensha-do is about, little boy]]!\\
'''Akio''': [[GetOut GET OUT]]! If [[spoiler:you’re not claiming her as your daughter]] you have no right to be here.
** In Chapter 8, Miho's older sister Maho does this to Shiho.
--->'''Maho''': Mother, when you considered this, did you even think about Miho's feelings?\\
'''Shiho''': Sentimentality is a grave extravagance for a soldier, Maho. Miho has blossomed outside our family... could you see her taking a post in the Self Defense forces? Becoming an officer? By [[spoiler:disinheriting her]], [[IDidWhatIHadToDo I have done the best for her]]...She will no doubt find her own way forward.\\
'''Maho''': But what about her happiness, mother? She loves you and you [[spoiler:cast her out]]... don't you see how much that has hurt her. [[WellDoneSonGuy She wants to make you proud]]... why do you think she persisted in sensha-do as a freshman? You have hurt her mother.



[[AC:''Anime/KillLaKill'']]
* In ''Fanfic/CellarSecrets'', Satsuki does this to a mentally-ill and interned Ragyou.
-->'''Satsuki:''' "You destroyed lives beyond any real repair and, fittingly, you've destroyed your own life. You destroyed Rei's with your abuse and a child you wanted to keep hidden. You also destroyed Ryuuko's, the child you never named and kept hidden, by keeping her locked away in a cage in a cellar, allowing her development and growth to become stunted. You didn't just destroy her life, you destroyed ours with your secrets and abuse. You hurt us and you're going to be living with that for the rest of your life."
* From ''Webcomic/KillLaKillAU'', Ragyo does this to her [[AbusiveParents abusive mother]], Youko, on her deathbed, calling her out for her out for how she's treated her when she was child and for what she's done to their family in [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech speech]] near reminiscent to Meg's speech to Lois.
-->'''Ragyou''': [...] In that vein, you say how I had hurt you, yet you never think about how you had hurt ''me''. I was never to blame for your problems, instead, I had the misfortune of being born. I had needed you to guide, protect, hold, and love me, yet after I had grown teeth and started to walk, you left me to fend for myself, doing none of those things. [...] You're a monster, we will not deny that. I can tell you are curious as to why I even came to see you. Of course, I came just to show what you've failed to destroy.



[[AC:''WesternAnimation/MiraculousLadybug'']]

When Gabriel scolds him, claiming he made him look bad, Adrien snaps and delivers a blistering speech that includes declaring that his his MissingMom was right to call Gabriel "a selfish bastard who doesn't need a family". [[NotHelpingYourCase Gabriel slaps Adrien to shut him up]] and while he [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone immediately regrets it and tries to apologize]], [[BreakTheCutie Adrien is broken and no longer has any energy to stand up for himself]], though he pointedly reframs their relationship as [[IHaveNoSon employer and employee rather than father and son]].
* In ''Fanfic/{{Heartstrings}}'', after Gabriel tries to interfere with his son's growing relationship with Marinette by having photographs of her and Chat Noir taken (not knowing that Adrien ''is'' Chat Noir) and leaking them to the media.
-->'''Adrien''': You can do whatever you want to me. You can take me out of school! You can book me for whatever events you want, I don’t care! Just - Just leave Marinette out of it!\\
'''Gabriel''': Why do you care about her so much? She’s clearly not interested in you.\\
'''Adrien''': What do you want from me? I’ve done everything you’ve ever asked of me. I do it without resisting. I’m perfect. What else do you want from me?\\
'''Gabriel''': As your father, what I ask of you is -\\
'''Adrien''': You don’t treat me like your son. You treat me like your property. You’re doing this because you think you can use this to make me sit and stay. You thought you could use Marinette to hurt me. You thought that would make me come back to you, right? That I could be your puppet again? I will not disrespect you or your name in public, and I’ll follow your schedules, but you don’t pull my strings anymore. Who I spend my time with, that’s up to me.



* ''FanFic/TheEquestrianWindMage'': When [[spoiler:Daring Do]] reveals herself as Rainbow Dash's mother, who [[ParentalAbandonment abandoned her]] as a newborn, Dash chews her out for it. However, when she sees [[spoiler:Daring]] break down in tears of shame, her anger quickly burns itself out, and the two reconcile.



* In ''FanFic/RitesOfAscension'', just before [[spoiler:banishing her to Ponyville]], Twilight calls her mother out on never being there for her and using her as a stepping stone for social climbing, including making it perfectly clear she would rather have had Celestia as her mother.




to:

* Happens in the sixth flashback chapter ([[{{Doorstopper}} forty-sixth overall]]) of ''FanFic/TheTwilightChild'', when the main character finally snaps at her mother. Neither of them were on a good basis with each other anyway, but from thereon out neither speaks to each other until the very end of the story. Even worse since the mother is actually trying to get on with her daughter. The name of this person? [[spoiler:Twilight Sparkle.]]
-->'''Twilight [[spoiler:Twinkle]]:''' Or what? What can you do to me? What will you do to me that Discord and Star-Swirl the Idiot haven't already done, hmm? Or Princess Celestia for that matter? Do you think you're going to wave some magic about and hope you're going to get "your little girl" back? Do you think there's something wrong with me, that I'm making up all these things about [[{{Retgone}} dad]] for attention? Do you think I want to look at you? Do you think I want to spend any time with you now, when you seemed barely bothered to teach me about magic? When you only ever showed up to lecture me about the fact that I was [[KidsAreCruel picked on for being your daughter]]? No wonder Discord went for dad. Heck, if he'd erased you, I'd probably have [[KickTheDog cheered with JOY]]!



* ''FanFic/KitsuneNoKenFistOfTheFox'': Minato gets called out three different times by three different people over how he effectively abandoned both Naruto and Kushina in the wake of the 365-day rampage by the [[PersonOfMassDestruction Kyuushingai]], resulting in Naruto having to carry a burden of guilt over his participation in that group without getting effective parental support, for the two years following the devastation. To his credit, Minato doesn't try to defend his actions.



[[AC:''Series/{{NCIS}}'']]
* In ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/8935062/1/Shards-To-A-Whole Shards To a Whole]]'', Tim [=McGee=], now head of NCIS's Cybercrime division, wound up performing a security test of the computer systems of the USS Stennis, commanded by his estranged father Admiral John [=McGee=]. When the Stennis failed the test, Admiral [=McGee=] [[MoralEventHorizon secretly arranged to have some of his men beat Tim savagely.]] Since Lt. Mane, the lead assailant then committed suicide and the others said they were following Mane's orders, there was no direct connection to the Admiral, who looked like [[KarmaHoudini he was getting off scot free]]. Later, when Tim's sister Sarah saw what had happened to her brother, she contacted the Admiral by phone and confronted him. Realizing that her father really did try to have Tim killed, Sarah announced her intention to publicly accuse him of abusing her as a child (he never beat anyone but she was more than prepared to lie about it, knowing that Abby would happily manufacture any evidence she needed to prove abuse), unless he immediately resigned his commission, the only thing that he truly valued in the world. She concluded by effectively banishing him from her life for good.



[[AC:''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'']]
* ''Fanfic/RWBYScars'':
** After having not seen her biological mother Raven since infancy, Yang is disgusted by her coldness and [[TheSocialDarwinist Social Darwinist]] viewpoint. After Raven calls Yang's team unworthy of living and misgenders her transgender sister Ruby, Yang rants Raven out. She ends her rant by saying that not only is Raven dead to her but she'll also [[{{Matricide}} kill her]] if Raven goes near her family or team again.
** Yang calls out her father Taiyang for having [[ParentalNeglect neglected]] her and Ruby after Summer died, leaving Yang to have to [[PromotionToParent take care of her sister]] despite barely being a teenager (if even that).
** Weiss is forced to sing for a charity concert and, like in canon, she sings "This Life Is Mine" (which is a song version of this trope aimed at her abusive father). Unlike in canon, she sings the rock version of the song from the soundtrack, complete with guitarists and lots of angry screaming, and even points accusingly at her father during the song. Her mother and brother are the first to clap. The audience is confused about the song but they politely clap as well.

* Indirectly features in "[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/14344743 Multiverse Constant]]", when [[ComicBook/SuperSons Jon Kent and Damian Wayne]] arrive in the universe of ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice2010'', as Jon is quick to criticise the alternate Superman for his attitude towards Conner/Superboy, thus encouraging Superman to open up more to his clone to the extent that he introduces Conner and Jon to his parents.

* In the ''Manga/FruitsBasket'' fic ''FanFic/{{Unshakable}}'', Tohru tearfully calls Ren out for her callousness towards Akito, unable to understand how Ren could hate someone she gave birth to. Ren appears genuinely moved for a second before [[IgnoredEpiphany brushing it off]].
-->'''Tohru''': You speak of your child... as if she were a stranger. How can you... hate someone... that you bore from your womb? That person should be special to you. Even more so that... your husband is dead...

* From ''Webcomic/KillLaKillAU'', Ragyo does this to her [[AbusiveParents abusive mother]], Youko, on her deathbed, calling her out for her out for how she's treated her when she was child and for what she's done to their family in [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech speech]] near reminiscent to Meg's speech to Lois.
-->'''Ragyou''': [...] In that vein, you say how I had hurt you, yet you never think about how you had hurt ''me''. I was never to blame for your problems, instead, I had the misfortune of being born. I had needed you to guide, protect, hold, and love me, yet after I had grown teeth and started to walk, you left me to fend for myself, doing none of those things. [...] You're a monster, we will not deny that. I can tell you are curious as to why I even came to see you. Of course, I came just to show what you've failed to destroy.
* Stephanie Brown's argument with Batman in ''Fanfic/AngelOfTheBat'' deconstructing his claim that he "thought she was alive" after the events of War Games just reeks of this, though she does bitterly point out that he can't be her old man, since no matter how hard she tried, he never let her into his family.
* ''FanFic/KitsuneNoKenFistOfTheFox'': Minato gets called out three different times by three different people over how he effectively abandoned both Naruto and Kushina in the wake of the 365-day rampage by the [[PersonOfMassDestruction Kyuushingai]], resulting in Naruto having to carry a burden of guilt over his participation in that group without getting effective parental support, for the two years following the devastation. To his credit, Minato doesn't try to defend his actions.

However, when she sees [[spoiler: Daring]] break down in tears of shame, her anger quickly burns itself out, and the two reconcile.
* In ''FanFic/RitesOfAscension'', just before [[spoiler:banishing her to Ponyville]], Twilight calls her mother out on never being there for her and using her as a stepping stone for social climbing, including making it perfectly clear she would rather have had Celestia as her mother.
* In ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/8935062/1/Shards-To-A-Whole Shards To a Whole]]'', an ''Series/{{NCIS}}'' fanfic, Tim [=McGee=], now head of NCIS's Cybercrime division, wound up performing a security test of the computer systems of the USS Stennis, commanded by his estranged father Admiral John [=McGee=]. When the Stennis failed the test, Admiral [=McGee=] [[MoralEventHorizon secretly arranged to have some of his men beat Tim savagely.]] Since Lt. Mane, the lead assailant then committed suicide and the others said they were following Mane's orders, there was no direct connection to the Admiral, who looked like [[KarmaHoudini he was getting off scot free]]. Later, when Tim's sister Sarah saw what had happened to her brother, she contacted the Admiral by phone and confronted him. Realizing that her father really did try to have Tim killed, Sarah announced her intention to publicly accuse him of abusing her as a child (he never beat anyone but she was more than prepared to lie about it, knowing that Abby would happily manufacture any evidence she needed to prove abuse), unless he immediately resigned his commission, the only thing that he truly valued in the world. She concluded by effectively banishing him from her life for good.
* A common scene in ''WesternAnimation/MiraculousLadybug'' fanfiction, involving Adrien and his father Gabriel, an emotionally distant yet controlling jerk who tends to treat his son more like an employee than a loved one. A standout can be found in ''Fanfic/{{Heartstrings}}'', after Gabriel tries to interfere with his son's growing relationship with Marinette by having photographs of her and Chat Noir taken (not knowing that Adrien ''is'' Chat Noir) and leaking them to the media.
-->'''Adrien''': You can do whatever you want to me. You can take me out of school! You can book me for whatever events you want, I don’t care! Just - Just leave Marinette out of it!
-->'''Gabriel''': Why do you care about her so much? She’s clearly not interested in you.
-->'''Adrien''': What do you want from me? I’ve done everything you’ve ever asked of me. I do it without resisting. I’m perfect. What else do you want from me?
-->'''Gabriel''': As your father, what I ask of you is -
-->'''Adrien''': You don’t treat me like your son. You treat me like your property. You’re doing this because you think you can use this to make me sit and stay. You thought you could use Marinette to hurt me. You thought that would make me come back to you, right? That I could be your puppet again? I will not disrespect you or your name in public, and I’ll follow your schedules, but you don’t pull my strings anymore. Who I spend my time with, that’s up to me.
* The fanfic comic [[http://miyukey.deviantart.com/gallery/60808776/ML-comic-DOWN Down]] features Adrien, who has had his confession to Ladybug thrown in his face and Alya and Marinette ignoring and avoiding him with the former throwing him a DeathGlare every chance she gets, finally snapping when his father scolds him for making him look bad and launching into one of these speeches, including claiming his MissingMom was right to call Gabriel "a selfish bastard who doesn't need a family". [[NotHelpingYourCase Gabriel slaps Adrien to shut him up]] and while he [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone immediately regrets it and tries to apologize]], [[BreakTheCutie Adrien is broken and no longer has any energy to stand up for himself]], [[IHaveNoSon though in a second shorter example of this trope, he pointedly reframes his relationship with Gabriel as that of employee/employer rather than father/son.]]
* In ''Fanfic/WithThisRing'', OL does this on Artemis and Jade's behalf to Sportsmaster during the New Years Breakout.
* ''Fanfic/ABrighterDark'': Camilla does this after Corrin returns, accusing Garon of essentially turning her into a [[SuicideMission suicide bomber.]] Garon reacts pretty calmly, stating that 1) that is pretty much exactly what he did. 2) It was indeed a pretty dickish thing to do. And 3) [[IDidWhatIHadToDo He's not particularly sorry, since he wasn't given a lot of other options.]]

* In ''Fanfic/BoysUndSenshado'', [[Anime/GirlsUndPanzer Shiho]] gets this twice.
** The first comes in Chapter 7, from Miho's LoveInterest [[OriginalCharacter Akio]], (whose family despises Shiho), after Shiho [[spoiler:visits Miho in the hospital and disowns her]].
--->'''Akio''': The only one here that’s a disgrace here is you, Nishizumi. Victory or nothing? If that was true, wouldn’t Maho’s defeat have been enough for you to give her a chance? Miho is twice the tank commander you ever were Shiho.”
--->'''Shiho''': I will not be spoken to in such a fashion!
--->'''Akio''': It’s the only fashion you deserve to be spoken to. Sensha-do isn’t just about victory. It’s about camaraderie and friendship. Miho faced your team outnumbered more than two to one and she won. With her leadership a team made up of inferior tanks bested yours with their King Tigers, Maus, and Panthers. She beat Maho herself in a singular duel with a Panzer IV. Why are you punishing her for doing well?
--->'''Shiho''': [[ShutUpKirk That is not what Sensha-do is about, little boy]]!
--->'''Akio''': [[GetOut GET OUT]]! If [[spoiler:you’re not claiming her as your daughter]] you have no right to be here.
** In Chapter 8, Miho's older sister Maho does this to Shiho.
--->'''Maho''': Mother, when you considered this, did you even think about Miho's feelings?\\
'''Shiho''': Sentimentality is a grave extravagance for a soldier, Maho. Miho has blossomed outside our family... could you see her taking a post in the Self Defense forces? Becoming an officer? By [[spoiler:disinheriting her]], [[IDidWhatIHadToDo I have done the best for her]]...She will no doubt find her own way forward.\\
'''Maho''': But what about her happiness, mother? She loves you and you [[spoiler:cast her out]]... don't you see how much that has hurt her. [[WellDoneSonGuy She wants to make you proud]]... why do you think she persisted in sensha-do as a freshman? You have hurt her mother.

* ''Fanfic/RWBYScars'':
** After having not seen her biological mother Raven since infancy, Yang is disgusted by her coldness and [[TheSocialDarwinist Social Darwinist]] viewpoint. After Raven calls Yang's team unworthy of living and misgenders her transgender sister Ruby, Yang rants Raven out. She ends her rant by saying that not only is Raven dead to her but she'll also [[{{Matricide}} kill her]] if Raven goes near her family or team again.
** Yang calls out her father Taiyang for having [[ParentalNeglect neglected]] her and Ruby after Summer died, leaving Yang to have to [[PromotionToParent take care of her sister]] despite barely being a teenager (if even that).
** Weiss is forced to sing for a charity concert and, like in canon, she sings "This Life Is Mine" (which is a song version of this trope aimed at her abusive father). Unlike in canon, she sings the rock version of the song from the soundtrack, complete with guitarists and lots of angry screaming, and even points accusingly at her father during the song. Her mother and brother are the first to clap. The audience is confused about the song but they politely clap as well.

* In ''Fanfic/XMen1970'', ComicBook/{{Cyclops}} calls Professor Xavier out on letting them believe he was dead and, on top of it, being completely unapologetic about their pain.

* In ''Fanfic/CellarSecrets'', Satsuki does this to a mentally-ill and interned Ragyou.
-->'''Satsuki:''' "You destroyed lives beyond any real repair and, fittingly, you've destroyed your own life. You destroyed Rei's with your abuse and a child you wanted to keep hidden. You also destroyed Ryuuko's, the child you never named and kept hidden, by keeping her locked away in a cage in a cellar, allowing her development and growth to become stunted. You didn't just destroy her life, you destroyed ours with your secrets and abuse. You hurt us and you're going to be living with that for the rest of your life."

* ''Fanfic/KaraOfRokyn'': During a heated argument, [[ComicBook/{{Supergirl}} Kara]] finally tells [[Franchise/{{Superman}} her cousin]] exactly how she feels about having been dumped into an orphanage when she was fifteen by her only living relative and then forced to hide her powers for months. Kal fires back she is editing facts out to make his actions look worse than they were. At the end, Kal admits he was also afraid of her getting hurt by his enemies when her existence became public, and Kara forgives him.

* ''Fanfic/GuardiansWizardsAndKungFuFighters'': When reunited with his long thought dead father, Caleb's first reaction is to break his nose. When Julian recovers from that, Caleb then chews him out for the BlackAndWhiteMorality he forced the Rebellion to run on and that he impressed on the younger generation, nearly driving Caleb to becoming a KnightTemplar [[spoiler: and succeeding in doing so to Aldarn]]. Additionally, he also brings up how disgusted he was to learn about how Julian let [[TokenEvilTeammate monsters like Rhouglar and Tharquin into the Rebellion]], and about [[DarkSecret what he did at Carhaiz]], ultimately making it clear that he no longer respects his father and will no longer let him have any authority in the Rebellion.
* ''Fanfic/InfinityTrainBlossomingTrail'', Professor Cerise praises Chloe for getting into a battle against Ash...completely ignoring how Chloe was humiliated in her attempt to even battle Ash -- because she was pressured by her classmates to fight him -- and it only tells her that her father will only care or notice her problems if it involves Pokémon. That, and having the Professor side with Goh when she throws Goh's Rotomphone into the curries is what causes Chloe to snap and scream why couldn't he be something other than a Professor.

She also points out that there were several other possible negative outcomes to Serenity and Endymion's relationship, which Serenity did not foresee due to not being raised well.

Anna goes as far as to say that she preferred her sister over her parents, although they took it too literally and assumed that Anna didn't love them anymore, causing them to run away in tears, which made Anna realized she took it a bit too far.

* In the [[ForWantOfANail "Regulus Lives AU"]] fic, ''[[Fanfic/TheBlackSheepDogSeries Black Mask]]'', Sirius repeatedly calls out Orion for his numerous flaws (often unfairly), but it is most poignant during their explosive argument that follows Sirius's botched attempt at infiltrating the Malfoy Manor as a part of his Order mission. He berates his father, among other things, for being wilfully ignorant about the on-going war against Voldemort, for neglecting Regulus and indirectly pushing him into the ranks of the Death Eaters in a desperate attempt to win his parents' attention, and for trying to force the family's bigoted and narrow-minded ideals on Sirius. Although Sirius himself is not portrayed as being completely in the right during that instance (even Dumbledore thinks that he needs to apologize to Orion for some of the things he said), Orion took his son's words to heart, and puts more effort to be more understanding towards his family (and the rest of the world) from then on.

Harry then proceeds to go on a royal rant, pointing out Dumbledore knew how the Dursleys treated him, but did nothing, robbing Harry of his childhood, only to still send him back to the same environment year after year, (made worse after the psychologically damaging deaths of Cedric and Sirius), kept information about Harry's family from him, (Harry's own classmates knew more than he did), and no faculty members were forthcoming), not standing up to Fudge in regards to Voldemort's resurrection, (Which could have prevented a lot of their current problems), as well as excusing Snape's hatred of him and abuse of other students. He finishes by asking why Dumbledore expects him to trust him after all that?

** A milder example occurs between Kakashi and Edo Tensei!Sakumo. While Kakashi had more or less come to terms with his father's suicide and why he did it, deep down he was still bitter at the fact his father had left him to fend off by himself when he was still a child. However, telling him that is enough for Kakashi to forgive him, which gives Sakumo the closure to be released from the Edo Tensei.

Harry then proceeds to go on a royal rant, pointing out Dumbledore knew how the Dursleys treated him, but did nothing, robbing Harry of his childhood, only to still send him back to the same environment year after year, (made worse after the psychologically damaging deaths of Cedric and Sirius), kept information about Harry's family from him, (Harry's own classmates knew more than he did), and no faculty members were forthcoming), not standing up to Fudge in regards to Voldemort's resurrection, (Which could have prevented a lot of their current problems), as well as excusing Snape's hatred of him and abuse of other students. He finishes by asking why Dumbledore expects him to trust him after all that?
* ''FanFic/WarOfTheBiju'': After learning about the truth of Yashamaru and his mother, Gaara is much harder on his father than he was in canon, chiding Rasa for his terrible leadership in relation to his downright ''atrocious'' parenting abilities. While he still ends up forgiving him like he did in canon, his forgiveness is treated more as something he can't deny his father ''in spite of'' everything that has happened between them. To Rasa's credit, he admits that Gaara is right, and hopes they can start over when Gaara eventually joins the pure world permanently himself.
* ''FanFic/ThePiecesLieWhereTheyFell'': In its sequel ''Picking Up the Pieces'', Night Blade, upon meeting his parents for the first time since before their adventure began, absolutely ''flips'' out at them, feeling that they've only developed an interest after his role in helping to save Equestria.


















* In ''FanFic/TheVictorsProject'', a FanFic of ''Literature/TheHungerGames'', Katniss does this to Haymitch when he attacks Boudicca, the Victor who runs District 2' [[AcademyOfEvil Career tribute school]].
-->'''Haymitch''': She trained kids to die! To kill! She lied to them! She lied and sent them to die.\\
'''Katniss''': [[ArmourPiercingQuestion Like you did?]] … You trained us to fight. You trained us to die. You lied to us, moved us like pieces in your Games. Don’t look at me like that, Haymitch. I have forgiven you. But you have to face what you did.
* ''Fanfic/UsAndThem'': When [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII President Shinra]] comes to "rescue" his son from AVALANCHE, Rufus gives hims a scathing rebuke and appraisal of his deficiencies and refusal to face facts, saying he'd rather work with AVALANCHE, which has people who are actually competent.
* ''Fanfic/GuardiansWizardsAndKungFuFighters'': When reunited with his long thought dead father, Caleb's first reaction is to break his nose. When Julian recovers from that, Caleb then chews him out for the BlackAndWhiteMorality he forced the Rebellion to run on and that he impressed on the younger generation, nearly driving Caleb to becoming a KnightTemplar [[spoiler: and succeeding in doing so to Aldarn]]. Additionally, he also brings up how disgusted he was to learn about how Julian let [[TokenEvilTeammate monsters like Rhouglar and Tharquin into the Rebellion]], and about [[DarkSecret what he did at Carhaiz]], ultimately making it clear that he no longer respects his father and will no longer let him have any authority in the Rebellion.
* ''Fanfic/InfinityTrainBlossomingTrail'', Professor Cerise praises Chloe for getting into a battle against Ash...completely ignoring how Chloe was humiliated in her attempt to even battle Ash -- because she was pressured by her classmates to fight him -- and it only tells her that her father will only care or notice her problems if it involves Pokémon. That, and having the Professor side with Goh when she throws Goh's Rotomphone into the curries is what causes Chloe to snap and scream why couldn't he be something other than a Professor.
* ''Fanfic/SonOfTheSannin'':
** During the Fourth Ninja War, the Uchiha brothers encounter Edo Tensei!Fugaku on the battlefield. Sasuke lets him have it because his stupidity in goading the Uchihas into a coup d'etat led to the clan's near extinction. Fugaku calmly accepts it, having realized how much of a folly it was.
** A milder example occurs between Kakashi and Edo Tensei!Sakumo. While Kakashi had more or less come to terms with his father's suicide and why he did it, deep down he was still bitter at the fact his father had left him to fend off by himself when he was still a child. However, telling him that is enough for Kakashi to forgive him, which gives Sakumo the closure to be released from the Edo Tensei.

* In the ''Franchise/HarryPotter'' [[ForWantOfANail "Regulus Lives AU"]] fic, ''[[Fanfic/TheBlackSheepDogSeries Black Mask]]'', Sirius repeatedly calls out Orion for his numerous flaws (often unfairly), but it is most poignant during their explosive argument that follows Sirius's botched attempt at infiltrating the Malfoy Manor as a part of his Order mission. He berates his father, among other things, for being wilfully ignorant about the on-going war against Voldemort, for neglecting Regulus and indirectly pushing him into the ranks of the Death Eaters in a desperate attempt to win his parents' attention, and for trying to force the family's bigoted and narrow-minded ideals on Sirius. Although Sirius himself is not portrayed as being completely in the right during that instance (even Dumbledore thinks that he needs to apologize to Orion for some of the things he said), Orion took his son's words to heart, and puts more effort to be more understanding towards his family (and the rest of the world) from then on.

After Sae shows concern about [[spoiler:Makoto getting arrested and after she gets the charges dropped]], she says that she's not going to spend any time with the attorney trying to save her friend from a false murder charge and is going home to study since she has to think of her future. Makoto vehemently cuts through her argument and stands up for herself and says she doesn't give a shit about that.

Results vary from heartfelt reunions to permanent shattering of familial bonds depending on the author's inclination.
** Much of this was based on speculation about the surrounding circumstances; after the manga eventually revealed what happened, the brunt of the blame fell upon [[spoiler:Minato, as Kushina would not have survived the tenth of October regardless of his actions]]. Even then, the fact that [[spoiler:the sealing was not planned, but a desperate attempt to keep Kurama from rampaging further]] helps lessen the blame, as it's clear that they had little choice in the matter.

Later Finrod regretted it because his father had done nothing to deserve that treatment (and Finarfin also rued his own words). Their relationship got uneasy for a while until they finally talked about it and apologized to each other.

* ''Fanfic/ABoyAGirlAndADogTheLeithianScript'': In this ''Literature/TheSilmarillion'' fanfic:

* The entirety of Chapter 10 of ''Fanfic/ExtendedFamilyIsStillFamily'' is the whole family ripping into Alma over how miserable her expectations make all of them, any attempt she makes to justify her actions immediately shot down by someone else, segueing into their own hang-ups.
* Mirabel in ''Fanfic/GuidingLightAuroraRose2081'' is able to stand up against Alma much easier than in the movie since she doesn't have the same psychological dependency seeking her approval as the rest of the family, as well as having bad experiences with elderly women with authority.

Then I was planning on sweeping the kitchen and the courtyard, but if you have someone around the house with a gift for that, I will obviously hand over the broom to that highly qualified and probably more worthy person. Oh! I forgot. I am the only one doing cleaning chores. ''Because I have no gift.'' Unless you wish me to ask Tonio's jaguar friend to lick the plates clean for us, it's still the useless little Mirabel washing them.\\
'''Alma''': You are forgetting yourself, child.\\
'''Mirabel''': You mean, I'm forgetting I'm the useless giftless hopeless Mirabel, as you so kindly remind me daily? No, I'm not. And you trying to accuse me of some... I even don't know what it is that you wanted. But hey, if I'm not supposed to help Mama, ''by washing the dishes,'' I suppose she will have to spend time doing that, instead of cooking and baking all the gift-filled food, but it will be good, because the useless grandchild will not be touching anything important, right...?
** When Alma tries excluding her from family lunch because she was dirty from her chores, Camilo defends her.
--->'''Camilo''': Mirabel doesn't have a room. You can't order her to 'go to her room' if she never had one.\\
'''Alma''': Stop prattling, Camilo. She does have a perfectly good room!\\
'''Camilo''': Actually, she's stuck in our old nursery, and it isn't 'her room', by any means[.] Does she have privacy there, does the door lock? No. Does she have her own wardrobe, the size for grownups clothing? No. I have more space for my clothes than she does, and I need like one shelf, maybe two. Her bed is too short for her, she has one stupid bedside table, the same as we had when we were babies. And she has had to share with a toddler for the last two years. How fair is it?

** In ''Fanfic/ACrownOfStars'', Shinji skips the talking part and straight up ''decks Gendo'' upon their reunion. Afterwords, Shinji refuses to have anything to do with his father, even though Gendo's [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone had time to think about what he's done]] and is making a [[TheAtoner genuine effort to become a better person]].
** In ''Fanfic/FuturesFreakMeOut'', Asuka calls her father out on never caring for her.
--->'''Asuka:''' "Was there a single day in your entire god damn life that you loved me? You're my father! I haven't seen you in ten years, and we're-- What are we even talking about here?! This is just polite nice-to-meet-you bullshit! You haven't been listening to single word I've been saying! You want to know about my life, huh?! Why, so you have some interesting trivia to tell your pals over drinks?! 'My darling daughter this' and 'my beautiful girl that'. You don't mean any of it! You don't care! If you cared it wouldn't have taken us ten fucking years to have this conversation!"
** In the AlternateUniverseFic ''Fanfic/GoingAnotherWay'', Shinji (who's a bit more strong-willed here due to growing up with a caring and supportive uncle instead of an apathetic guardian) calls Gendo out, but none of them really faze the older Ikari much... until [[spoiler:Shinji is able to pull his mother Yui's soul from Unit 01 out enough for her to be able to contact the outside world. And Yui is '''''not at all''''' happy to learn what her husband has done since her disappearance, all in the name of getting her back no less]]. She [[WhatTheHellHero chews him out]] so thoroughly that Gendo, [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone guilt-stricken]], [[DrowningMySorrows drinks enough alcohol]] to necessitate him getting his stomach pumped. Afterwards, he [[TheAtoner begins making an honest effort at redeeming himself]].
* ''Fanfic/WrongRoadToTheRightPlace'' features a few of these, although in all cases the characters are calling out mothers rather than fathers (and sometimes not even their own parents);
** When [[spoiler:Oliver learns that Dinah Lance knew that Sara was going to join him on the ''Gambit'', while he appreciates that she couldn't have known what was going to happen, he tells Dinah that she should have recognised that he was just using Sara even if Sara was in love with ''him'', and thus betrayed Laurel's trust by not telling her about Sara going on the ''Gambit'']].
** Later, [[spoiler:Laurel delivers one to Moira about her going to all this trouble to 'protect' Oliver and Thea without thinking about how they will feel about her actions]].
** After [[spoiler:learning about the Undertaking, Oliver informs Moira that he's going to stop Malcolm and expose her role in the Undertaking unless she admits it first]].
* It is incredibly common in ''WesternAnimation/{{Frozen|2013}}'' fan fictions to have Anna call her parents out for the way they treated her and Elsa in their childhood, particularly the latter:
** In the second chapter of ''Fanfic/{{Darkness Burning}}'', which is set in an AlternateUniverse where her parents came back safely, Anna berates her parents [[spoiler:after learning about "Conceal, don't feel"]]. She tells them they're responsible for Elsa's depression [[spoiler:and attempted suicide]].
** In ''Fanfic/{{The Royal Reunion}}'', she calls out her parents after being reunited with them after three years. She vents out all her rage at the isolation her and her sister felt due to their parents separating them for over a decade. Anna gets equally mad about how her parents words caused Elsa to doubt herself growing up.
** In the fifteenth chapter of ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10400485/1/Stranded Stranded]]'', when Anna and Elsa reunite with their parents in the same island they're trapped on, Anna's first response after meeting them is to call them out for ruining both her and Elsa's childhood, especially the latter and also accusing them of causing the events of Frozen to have happened in the first place. Anna goes as far as to say that she preferred her sister over her parents, although they took it too literally and assumed that Anna didn't love them anymore, causing them to run away in tears, which made Anna realized she took it a bit too far.

* Mirabel in ''Fanfic/GuidingLightAuroraRose2081'' is able to stand up against Alma much easier than in the movie since she doesn't have the same psychological dependency seeking her approval as the rest of the family, as well as having bad experiences with elderly women with authority.
* In ''[[Fanfic/MayIHaveThisDanceSailorKingMischief May I have this dance?]]'', when Alma dismisses the idea of throwing Mirabel a party because she "doesn't deserve" one, Mirabel loses it on her.

** The first time is when Mirabel offers to wash dishes from breakfast, only for Alma to try and keep her out of the way, assuming she isn't capable of anything without a gift.
---> '''Mirabel''': I didn't know a gift was now required to wash the plates and scrub the pans. Then I was planning on sweeping the kitchen and the courtyard, but if you have someone around the house with a gift for that, I will obviously hand over the broom to that highly qualified and probably more worthy person. Oh! I forgot. I am the only one doing cleaning chores. ''Because I have no gift.'' Unless you wish me to ask Tonio's jaguar friend to lick the plates clean for us, it's still the useless little Mirabel washing them.\\
'''Alma''': You are forgetting yourself, child.\\
'''Mirabel''': You mean, I'm forgetting I'm the useless giftless hopeless Mirabel, as you so kindly remind me daily? No, I'm not. And you trying to accuse me of some... I even don't know what it is that you wanted. But hey, if I'm not supposed to help Mama, ''by washing the dishes,'' I suppose she will have to spend time doing that, instead of cooking and baking all the gift-filled food, but it will be good, because the useless grandchild will not be touching anything important, right...?
** When Alma tries excluding her from family lunch because she was dirty from her chores, Camilo defends her.
---> '''Camilo''': Mirabel doesn't have a room. You can't order her to 'go to her room' if she never had one.\\
'''Alma''': Stop prattling, Camilo. She does have a perfectly good room!\\
'''Camilo''': Actually, she's stuck in our old nursery, and it isn't 'her room', by any means[.] Does she have privacy there, does the door lock? No. Does she have her own wardrobe, the size for grownups clothing? No. I have more space for my clothes than she does, and I need like one shelf, maybe two. Her bed is too short for her, she has one stupid bedside table, the same as we had when we were babies. And she has had to share with a toddler for the last two years. How fair is it?

* In the ''Franchise/HarryPotter'' [[ForWantOfANail "Regulus Lives AU"]] fic, ''[[Fanfic/TheBlackSheepDogSeries Black Mask]]'', Sirius repeatedly calls out Orion for his numerous flaws (often unfairly), but it is most poignant during their explosive argument that follows Sirius's botched attempt at infiltrating the Malfoy Manor as a part of his Order mission. He berates his father, among other things, for being wilfully ignorant about the on-going war against Voldemort, for neglecting Regulus and indirectly pushing him into the ranks of the Death Eaters in a desperate attempt to win his parents' attention, and for trying to force the family's bigoted and narrow-minded ideals on Sirius. Although Sirius himself is not portrayed as being completely in the right during that instance (even Dumbledore thinks that he needs to apologize to Orion for some of the things he said), Orion took his son's words to heart, and puts more effort to be more understanding towards his family (and the rest of the world) from then on.
