** Violence is an inescapable part of life. Not a desirable part, but inescapable nonetheless. Adding to this, Violence is a tool and must be treated as such. Those who [[BloodKnight seek to master Violence or cling to victory for its own sake]], or do not understand when other ways besides Violence can be employed instead, get trapped in a cycle of Violence where their [[BloodKnight outlook]], [[MightMakesRight morality]] and [[WhenAllYouHaveIsAHammer problem-solving abilities are tainted by it]], inevitably dooming them. In particular, Incubus, Solomon David and Jagganoth have been completely ruined by violence, and Allison almost falls into that trap herself.

This theme is so built into the ''KSBD''-universe that TheCreator of it [[HeroicSuicide literally committed suicide]] in order for things other than themselves to exist beyond its control, and the Demiurges are all trapped in their own EpiphanicPrison within a rotting heaven (save Jagganoth, who is trying to upset the Status Quo but is so tainted by violence [[OmnicidalManiac he can only conceive of a single way to do so]]). [[spoiler:Zoss in particular fell into this hard, and has passed his power onto Allison partially as a way to try to undo the harm he has done.]]

{{Central Theme}}s in webcomics.
----

* ''Webcomic/CobwebAndStripes'': LoveRedeems, and no one is beyond redemption.
* In ''Webcomic/GiftsOfWanderingIce'' it's immortality achieved by artificial means (memory transfer and other) and its price.
* ''Webcomic/{{Goblins}}'': Inversion/deconstruction of ''Tabletopgame/DungeonsAndDragons'' FantasticRacism -- just because some races are [[CharacterAlignment aligned]] [[AlwaysChaoticEvil as "evil" or "monsters"]] doesn't mean that humans and other player races are any better.
* ''Webcomic/GunnerkriggCourt'' is, at heart, all about balance. The Court and the Woods; Magic and Technology; Reason and Passion; Dark and Light. Everything ends up needing a balance, which the main character Annie is slowly becoming. Also: Violence is occasionally a necessary evil, though it should be used sparingly.
* ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'': The necessity of teamwork for survival, and the challenges of being a kid and growing up.
** For the ShowWithinAShow ''Webcomic/SweetBroAndHellaJeff'':
---> "''where doing it man. where [[{{Determinator}} MAKING]] [[ScrewDestiny THIS]] [[EarnYourHappyEnding HAPEN]].''"
* ''Webcomic/ImMyOwnMascot'': What it means to be a member of a {{Fandom}} and how, in the grand scheme of things, the world doesn't revolve around us. Driving this home is the main character being both an AuthorAvatar [[LifeEmbellished and the resident]] ButtMonkey ([[PrideBeforeAFall especially when he gets egotistical or self-indulgent]]).
* ''Webcomic/ManlyGuysDoingManlyThings'': Being badass [[DeconstructedTrope doesn't mean you'll have good life]] -- most manly guys have strong problems with adjusting to normal life and traits that made them badasses in their games and shows only get in the way in normal life.
* ''Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick'':
** The most recurrent theme is that single-mindedly obsessing over one thing can destroy you and make you lose sight of what's really important. Various characters including [[WellDoneSonGuy Roy]], [[ParentalNeglect Eugene]], [[KnightTemplar Miko]], [[TheParanoiac Haley]], [[CripplingOverspecialization Vaarsuvius]], [[ThickerThanWater Elan]], [[ComplexityAddiction Nale]], [[HopelessSuitor Therkla]], [[SunkCostFallacy Redcloak]], [[ILoveTheDead Tsukiko]], [[GenreBlindness Tarquin]], and many more have recklessly pursued a goal, ideal or other thing while neglecting the big picture, which bites them hard.
** Teamwork and trust are key to victory--the more people trust each other and are willing to cooperate, the more effective they are, even the bad guys. People who cannot afford to trust their allies, [[spoiler:such as Lord Shojo]], think they don't need others to help solve their problems, [[spoiler:like Miko or V in the "Don't Split the Party" arc]], or just want to do what they want, not thinking about their teammates [[spoiler:like Belkar, and perhaps Xykon]] will get in trouble.
** Also, {{Deconstruction}} of ''Tabletopgame/DungeonsAndDragons'' stereotypes by putting them in contrast with a realistic racial conflict.
** Another theme is the nature of power, and what it means to use this effectively and wisely. A recurring thread through the plot is characters who are supposedly more powerful being undone by their supposedly weaker opponents, often because the powerful get overconfident and/or limit themselves to brute force where the less powerful are forced to apply creativity and intelligence and exploit unforeseen flaws and weaknesses to solve their problems.
* ''Webcomic/PennyAndAggie'' explores the bond that exists between individuals of contrasting, even clashing, personalities, and how that bond ends up changing them.
* ''Webcomic/{{Rain}}'' explores the trials and tribulations that {{Transgender}} people, along with many others on the LGBT spectrum, experience, and shows that they a common part of our world. They're people in need of love and understanding just like everyone else.
* ''Webcomic/StrongFemaleProtagonist'': Can one person, no matter how powerful, really make a difference in the world?
* ''Webcomic/TowerOfGod'' deals with the rifts that are caused between people due to differences in power, luck, ability and resources and how these rifts cause betrayal and sacrifice that have no blame.
* A recurring idea in the ''Webcomic/{{Walkyverse}}'' is hypocrisy. It's most obvious in CharacterDevelopment, where someone will realize they've been acting hypocritically, but it also shows up in smaller ways - [[{{Jerkass}} Mike's]] favoured technique for inducing suffering is pointing out when someone is being hugely hypocritical (usually by painfully enforcing their own logic), one-shots in ''Webcomic/{{Shortpacked}}'' tend to focus on hypocritical fan logic, etc.
-->[[ArcWords Act with integrity. No regrets!]]
** David Willis also likes exploring the SlidingScaleOfIdealismVsCynicism. See the famous 'It's the rain' speech Walky gives in ''Webcomic/ItsWalky''.
