** In one of the book's most legendary scenes, dozens of people are killed in a drawn-out train accident. The narrator lists out the victims one by one, and implies they deserved their deaths for such heinous crimes as [[DisproportionateRetribution taking a loan from the government or being married to a government employee.]] After hearing about the narrator's plans, Cobra Commander calls [[MadScientist Doctor Mindbender]] to build a teleportation machine [[BreakingTheFourthWall undetectable even to omniscient narrators]] to send those poor innocent people to safety and replace them with life-sized dummies the author can kill in their place.

** In one of the book's most legendary scenes, tens of people are [[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill repeatedly killed]] in a drawn-out train accident. The narrator implies they deserved it for committing heinous crimes such as [[DisproportionateRetribution taking a loan from the government or loving her children more than her job]]. After hearing about the narrator's plans, Cobra Commander calls [[MadScientist Doctor Mindbender]] to build a teleport machine [[BreakingTheFourthWall undetectable even to omniscient narrators]] to send those poor innocent people to safety and replace them with life-sized dummies the author can kill in their place.

** He becomes livid with rage after finding out that a doctor has found a cure for strokes but he's refusing to share it with anybody in the outside world because he'd rather have them die than share his research with "unworthy" people.

* In '{Fanfic/{Hypocrite}}'', Light is sickened at the thought of [[GodwinsLaw being compared to Hitler.]]

* In ''Fanfic/AndThusAMHAXC2Crossover'' Katsuki Bakugou may ridicule and bully Izumi Midoriya for even the smallest things similar to canon, but not even once does he bring up her being trans to do so.

** The RecursiveFanfiction sequel ''Fanfic/ShadowsOverMeridian'' has a few examples:
*** While Phobos is amused by how the heroes mistook Jade for an enemy and [[CreateYourOwnVillain overreacted in such a way as to end up actually making her one]], [[VillainsNeverLie he's insulted when Vathek accuses him of lying]] about "Kage" not being his minion.
*** After Jade, now a FallenHero, teams up with Phobos to get revenge on Elyon and the Guardians, she makes it clear that while she wants to destroy their lives for everything they did to her, she does ''not'' want to kill them.
*** Though Raythor views Elyon as an usurper against the rightful ruler Phobos, he's absolutely outraged to learn that the rebels have been throwing their weight around [[LockedOutOfTheLoop behind her back]] despite having sworn to serve her.
*** When Jade gives Frost the Razor Khan as backup for his mission at Cavigor, she's disturbed by his obvious [[BloodKnight eagerness to test their destructive capabilities]] and tells him not to go too overboard.
*** While confronting [[KnightTemplar Vera Bexley]] in the Stone Nest, Jade and several Phobos loyalists make it clear that they disapprove of her [[HeWhoFightsMonsters willingness to resort to dishonorable methods]] to fulfill [[YouKilledMyFather her personal vendetta]] against the Mogriffs, including [[spoiler:abandoning without remorse her friends for refusing to continue on her suicide mission anymore]]. When Vera is [[spoiler:holding a Mogriff hatchling hostage]] and makes it clear that she won't back down even to [[spoiler:save her captured comrades]], [[MookLieutenant Captain Ymir]] remarks that [[KnowWhenToFoldEm surrendering in the face of impossible odds is not dishonorable]], but [[spoiler:threatening an innocent child to get revenge on his people]] is.

* ''Fanfic/{{Spider-Ninja}}'': Considering how his StartOfDarkness was because of a lab accident, [[spoiler: Doctor Octopus]] loathes anyone who refuses to acknowledge basic lab safety procedures.

[[AC:''Literature/{{Twilight}}'']]

* After Amy is found murdered in ''Fanfic/{{Frenzy}}'', Dr. Eggman is quickly discarded as a suspect because of this. Killing people is not Eggman's style, no matter how evil he is.

* The Scarecrow's comments in ''Fanfic/ADarkKnightOverSinCity'' indicate that he cares very little about the rest of the Franchise/{{Batman}} Rogues Gallery and found [[ComicBook/SinCity The Yellow Bastard]] "distasteful". Then again, the guy was working with him.

* ''Fanfic/APrizeForThreeEmpires'': [[Franchise/TheAvengers Immortus]] isn't quite a good guy but even so, he is speechless and disgusted when he finds out that his son had kidnapped and both physically and mentally raped [[ComicBook/CarolDanvers a woman]] in order to try escape from Limbo.

[[AC:''Franchise/SpiderMan'']]
* In ''[[Fanfic/UltimateSpiderWoman Ultimate Spider-Woman: Change With The Light]]'', the supervillain [[AnIcePerson Blizzard]] turns out to be much more of a petty thug than a sadist or murderer, unlike most of Spider-Woman's enemies. Although Spider-Woman defeats him when he tries to rob an armored car, he doesn't hold a grudge against her and later helps her protect many of New York's civilians when the city is invaded by an army of BrainwashedAndCrazy supervillains. He also disdains the rest of Spider-Woman's RoguesGallery for their sadism and cruelty, providing helpful advice to [[BrokenBird Tarot]] when he finds that she doesn't care about revenge on Spider-Woman either and isn't a monster either. Also, although [[UsefulNotes/NewYorkCityCops NYPD]] Detective Jason Phillip Macendale is a very DirtyCop, freely accepting bribes from the Kingpin's syndicate, when Kitty Pryde is threatened by anti-mutant racists, he does his job as a police officer and investigates the crime wholeheartedly. Detective Macendale is royally pissed off by the way that the anti-mutant activists justify their actions with motherhood-and-apple-pie statements like saying that they're protecting the community or their families, since in his mind they're no better than him and [[AtLeastIAdmitIt at least he admits that he's a corrupt son of a bitch.]]

*** While confronting [[KnightTemplar Vera Bexley]] in the Stone Nest, Jade and several Phobos loyalists make it clear that they disapprove of her [[HeWhoFightsMonsters willingness to resort to dishonorable methods]] to fulfill [[YouKilledyFather her personal vendetta]] against the Mogriffs, including [[spoiler:abandoning without remorse her friends for refusing to continue on her suicide mission anymore]]. When Vera is [[spoiler:holding a Mogriff hatchling hostage]] and makes it clear that she won't back down even to [[spoiler:save her captured comrades]], [[MookLieutenant Captain Ymir]] remarks that [[KnowWhenToFoldEm surrendering in the face of impossible odds is not dishonorable]], but [[spoiler:threatening an innocent child to get revenge on his people]] is.

** Jade is surprised to find out that Raythor, despite being one of [[EvilOverlord Prince Phobos']] staunchest and loyalist supporters, still has a [[NobleDemon code of honor]], refusing at first to let Nerissa drag a child (namely her) into their conflict, and being disgusted at how the Guardians and rebels treated her. He relents only when Jade herself chooses to stay and fight, and he still makes it clear to her that she's free to leave when she wants to.

*** While Phobos is amused by how the heroes mistook Jade for an enemy and [[CreateYourOwnVillain overreacted in such a way as to end up actually making her one]], [[VillainsNeverLie is insulted when Vathek accuses him of lying]] about "Kage" not being his minion.

*** Though Raythor views Elyon as an usurper against the rightful ruler Phobos, he's absolutely outraged to learn that the rebels have been throwing their weight around [[LockedOutOfTheLoop behind Elyon's back]] despite having sworn to serve her.
*** When Jade gives Frost the Razor Khan as backup for his mission at Cavigor, she's disturbed by his obvious [[BloodKnight excitement to test their destructive capabilities]] and tells him not to go overboard.

* ''Fanfic/{{Kage}}'': Jade is surprised to find out that Raythor, despite being one of [[EvilOverlord Prince Phobos']] staunchest and loyalist supporters, still has a [[NobleDemon code of honor]], refusing at first to drag a child (namely her) into their conflict, and being disgusted at how the Guardians and rebels treated her.

*** While Phobos is amused by how the Rebellion mistook Jade for an enemy and overreacted in such a way as to end up actually making her one, [[VillainsNeverLie is insulted when Vathek accuses him of lying]] about "Kage" not being his minion.
*** After Jade teams up with Phobos to get revenge on Elyon and the Guardians, she makes it clear that while she wants to destroy their lives for everything they did to her, she does ''not'' want to kill them.
*** Raythor, being the honorable NobleDemon that he is, is absolutely outraged to learn that the rebels have been throwing their weight around [[LockedOutOfTheLoop behind Elyon's back]] despite having sworn to serve her.

*** When watching ''Theatre/HenryIV'', Zek is disgusted by the fact that Henry is being set up for betrayal. While Kig-Yar society treats betrayal as acceptable if it's a spur of the moment decision brought on by [[PragmaticVillainy a change in circumstances]], the idea of [[FalseFriend befriending someone with the intent to betray them from the start]] is considered [[MoralEventHorizon beyond the pale]].

* ''Fanfic/TheBlackEmperor'': Cornelia is absolutly horrified by the Shinjuku massacre. While she [[HypocrisyNod acknoweldges that she has killed civilians as well as surrendering enemy combatants]], she always did it with somewhat justified reasons from a militaristic perspective (She lost her first knight [[ISurrenderSuckers to a suicide bomber waving the white flag]] as well refusing to negotiate with terroists to desuade them from using such tactics). The fact that Clovis did it for no other reason than to coverup his inhumane research is enough to bring bile to her mouth. This is especially so when a good amount, which is to say more than one, are children and infants shot in their mother's arms.

* In ''Fanfic/TiberiumWars'', the Brotherhood of Nod draws the line at rape, and authorizes summary execution for any soldier caught in the process. To emphasize this point, at one point a Nod soldier attempts to rape [[spoiler:GDI Intelligence officer Sandra Telfair, who has been briefly captured.]] Before he can start, though, [[spoiler:[[WarriorMonk Brother-Captain Allen]] of the [[EvilArmy Black Hand]] [[DynamicEntry smashes down the door]], and [[VillainousRescue beats the would-be-rapist's face against a wall before chucking him out a window]].]] The Brotherhood takes this kind of thing seriously. They go so far as to declare it a ''sin against [[DarkMessiah Kane]]''.

** Ember finds Paulina's StalkerShrine to Danny to be disgusting, and thinks the girl needs mental help because of it.

* ''Swing It Low'' has ComicBook/HarleyQuinn overhearing a conversation between two men that implied [[DisposableSexWorker the murder of a prostitute]]. Despite the many terrible things that Harley had been party to, she had never killed a working girl, and found such a crime to be reprehensible. As she thought to herself, they dealt with enough trouble as it was and worked really hard just to eke out a living.

* In Creator/AAPessimal's ''Hyperemesis Gravidarum'', a gang are terrorising Ankh-Morpork in vengeance for their having been imprisoned and sentenced to death for a slaving operation in [[DarkestAfrica Howondaland]]. So far they have escaped from a hellhole offshore prison in the least hospitable part of Quirm. They have murdered goblins on principle and slain people during robberies. They are [[AmoralAfrikaner prejudiced against black people]] and have bombed a restaurant owned by the family of a black policewoman who helped arrest them.[[note]]They are aware All jolson's is always crowded[[/note]] They have tried to assassinate their country's Ambassador. They have shot and wounded a thirteen year old schoolgirl, as she is their main target's sister. They have bombed the City Zoo to get two of their targets and have even tried to get Vetinari himself. They have casually discussed rape as a side-attraction before they murder their targets. But, tasked with silencing their target's big angry guard dogs, one of the gang recoils from poisoning them. He is a dog-lover who cannot bring himself to harm dogs. He opts to tranquilise them instead with doped meat.

* ''WebVideo/TheBuggerAnthology'': Played for laughs in "Groundhogmanay of the Daleks". The Daleks find Nick making a shrine with his exes' belongings in "Eve of the Daleks" to be creepy, and are out to kill him. Not that it stops them trying to kill everyone else, of course.

** [[spoiler:When asked why he saved Timmy from the Pixies and Anti-Fairies, Norm admits that while he still doesn't ''like'' Timmy, [[CharacterDevelopment he doesn't have it in him to want him dead anymore]]. He even admits he was even going to save Timmy even if Amanda wasn't there, since he now recognizes that Timmy is good for Amanda]].

* The fic ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10199357/1/Let-the-Storm-Rage-On Let the Storm Rage On]]'' does this to Hans. He might lie, con, steal, and murder. But he despises pointless greed or murder, and believes such acts should serve a nobler purpose, and not something like greed or revenge. According to him, sending men off to die in a pointless war for revenge is abhorrent.

* In ''Fanfic/TheChosenSix'' Grindlewald did some research into possible means of immortality, but even at his worst he rejected the idea of using horcruxes, finding it horrifying.

* In ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13686679/20/Tones-of-Gray Tones of Gray]]'' Grindlewald is perfectly fine with child labor, but draws the line at raping or forcibly marrying one.

** Shendu himself refuses to allow harm come to Valerie (though initially only because she's his [[WonderTwinPowers Other]]), and his growing love towards her makes him wanting her to willingly surrender herself to him. While he has committed rape on concubines in the past, he eventually loses all willingness to break her that way.

* In the fanfic 'Skin Deep' one of the two murdering kidnapping raping racists who took Olivia Fin and their 3 year child, for the sole fact that they were an interracial couple, refuses to let the child see the worst of what they put their parents through. He also stops his brother from sexually assaulting the child and threatens to shoot him if he does because she's just a child.

* In the backstory of ''Fanfic/IfICouldStartAgain'', Thanos tried to gain Hela's allegience in his crusade. She not only refused, but fought of him and his armies for daring to consider attacking Asgard. Even if she was a psychotic warmongerer, she was still (at the time) Crown Princess of Asgard and would allow no threats to her home.
* ''Fanfic/APrizeForThreeEmpires'': [[Franchise/TheAvengers Immortus]] isn't quite a good guy, but even so he is speechless and disgusted when he finds out that his son kidnapped and both physically and mentally raped [[ComicBook/CarolDanvers a woman]] in order to try escape from Limbo.

* In the ''Fanfic/{{Uplifted}}'' series, SS Officer Joachim Hoch has no problem with the idea of deporting all of the Jews from Germany, but draws the line at exterminating them. His adoptive father, SS Officer Gerald Langer seems to feel the same way. Hoch is horrified when he realizes what is happening in the second book. Otto Skorzeny is depicted in a similar fashion, though his ultimate loyalties lie in a different direction than Hoch's.

* ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/24221599/chapters/59175307 AKA: The One Where Hawkmoth Is A Good Guy]]'' has Hawkmoth decide not to akumatize Marinette when his akuma catches her [[DrivenToSuicide attempting to kill herself]], instead attempting to talk her down. Learning that Marinette, a teenager, is Ladybug prompts a MyGodWhatHaveIDone moment at the realization that he's been sending monsters against children.
* ''[[https://unmaskedagain.tumblr.com/post/189380874732/archenemies-to-superfriends Archenemies to Superfriends]]'' has Lila quietly horrified by the fact that Alya and several of their classmates are willing to shred Marinette's sketchbook, even sacrificing her own sketchbook by secretly switching them. This leads to her and Marinette talking things out and gradually becoming friends.

** He also calls out Chat Noir for letting Ladybug fight while heavily pregnant, and decides to take it easy in later encounters.

* ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/46810741/chapters/117906793 I'm Not a Nice Person]]'': After Ladybug strips Chat Noir of the Black Cat Ring, replacing him with Disaster, Hawkmoth prepares to akumatize Adrien into Replace-or. But when Adrien declares that he's going to force Marinette to love him, Hawkmoth balks:

'''Hawkmoth:''' Hold up, what.\\

* In ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/36166078 Plague Nurse]]'' when trying to figure out who slipped tomatoes into Nathaniel's lunch (he's highly allergic to them), Marinette shoots down [[AlphaBitch Chloé]] as an option; she may be nasty, but she'd ''never'' stoop that low.

* ''[[https://www.deviantart.com/stepfordandshave/art/Two-For-One-Special-938768571 Two For One Special]]'': Gabriel Agreste might be the supervillain Hawkmoth and a KnightTemplarParent to his son Adrien, but they are some brainwashing tactics that disturbs him. When he finds out that Audrey Bourgeois had been turned from the cold fashion director to a 1950s style doting mother, he can barely repress a shiver at his spine, comparing the results to ''Literature/TheStepfordWives'' he heard about.

* ''Fanfic/{{Monstrous}}'': Suel, the emotion eating, human hunting shape-shifter, does not approve of deliberately withholding food from a child that's obviously starving and deliberately attacks those who were first.

* ''Fanfic/MyBrideIsAMermaidWeddingBells'': Gozaburo and Ren may be {{yakuza}}, but even they find [[OriginalCharacter Tiger Shark Tony]] to be nothing but an ruthless bastard, partially because he tried to usurp control of the Seto Gang from Gozaburo by kidnapping Sun, then a one-year-old baby, and threatening to kill her.

* ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/27853170/chapters/68194306 Pulse and Void]]'' has a character nicknamed Glitch who’s got herself caught up with a power siphoner known as Pulse and a twisted, perverted, torture happy creep known as Fusion. Present Mic is captured and brutally tortured by Fusion because Pulse wants to feed off his scream energy. Glitch refuses to help Mic escape, fearing retaliation, but she isn’t happy either. She has no problem being a villain but can’t stomach what Mic is being subjected to, plus, she’s regretting getting mixed up with the other two. So, she tips off Aizawa to their location so that he and a couple others can rescue Mic and get Pulse and Fusion out of her life. She also teleports the small rescue group and Mic to the hospital after the rescue, though Aizawa refuses until laying eyes on Mic’s butchered back. She is also the only one who bothered to give Mic water so he wouldn’t die of dehydration, something the others ignored.

* Even ''[[http://askponydiscord.tumblr.com/ Ask Pony Discord]]'' [[http://twixie-answers.tumblr.com/post/31505928598/hopefully-the-next-post-will-be-the-end-of-this thinks that]] [[Webcomic/TheGreatestGift Jupiter and Neptune]] were rotten ponies. On his on blog, he's said [[http://askponydiscord.tumblr.com/post/50136184086/discord-im-not-a-complete-monster-i-have he considers turning beings into statues, killing, and rape]] wrong and doesn't do those things.

** In the ''Franchise/StarTrek'' Universe, Xlestia abandons her plans once the [[note]]Next Generation[[/note]] Enterprise crew informs her that humanity has achieved an Utopian society and went on to become a founding member of [[TheFederation The United Federation of Planets.]] [[note]] They conveniently leave out any event that contradict their "utopia" status, but that was neither here nor there. [[/note]]

* ''Fanfic/EscapeFromTheMoon'': In the sequel ''The Mare From the Moon'', Spliced Genome has a bodycount in the millions, but when she's told that Garble the dragon wanted Spike to smash a defenseless phoenix’s egg just for ''fun'' the first time they met, she concedes that he doesn't belong anywhere near any throne.

** After Chrysalis captured the Student Six, it's shown that while she's willing to hurt them for leverage or if they try anything, she's not interested in killing them just ForTheEvulz. Though it's later stated that she's considering executing [[WouldHurtAChild Ocellus]] among other notable changeling "traitors" when she retakes her hive to make an example. More Importantly, while she hates what's become of her former hive, she still does not want to see them destroyed by Grogar's actions.
** [[EnfantTerrible Cozy Glow]] claims that part of why she wants to help in the fight against Grogar, is because she doesn't want to see him outright destroy her home land… and not just because she wants to take it over herself. Though it's hard to say how sincere this sentiment is, given [[FakeCutie who]] [[ManipulativeBitch she is]].

* ''Fanfic/HeirOfTheNightmare'': Nightmare Moon is temperamental, vengeful being, willing to kill and cause eternal night [[spoiler:[[KnightTemplarParent in order protect her daughter Twilight]]]]. But she is horrified [[spoiler:by [[SuperpoweredEvilSide Nightmare Nova]]'s destruction of Ponyville, and her murder over two hundred of Ponyville's citizens]]. It becomes clear [[spoiler:that Nightmare never intended to turn Twilight into Nova]].

* TD's evil clone army in ''Fanfic/TheNonBronyverse'' intend to reek havoc on Canterlot and get the revenge on Celestia for accidentally trapping TD in Equestria, that he refuses to seek himself but they make it clear that they do not intend to seriously hurt anypony other than Celestia, if they don't have to and even she they do not intend to outright murder.

* In the ''Fanfic/{{Xenophilia}}''-verse, Honeybee, like her sisters, is first introduced as an intolerant bitch who is disgusted by Rainbow Dash, Twilight and Lyra's relationship with Lero, a human. But while she finds [[InterspeciesRomance interspecies mating]] perverted, she reveals that she doesn't dislike Lero himself and she refuses to continue harassing them after he saves her from drowning in "[[http://www.fimfiction.net/story/62265/5/xenophilia-side-stories/fish-out-of-water-by-anonauthor Fish Out of Water]]".

* A somewhat PlayedForLaughs example in ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13628530/1/Villainous-Knight Villainous Knight]]'', where Katarina (who believe she is the villainess of the game ''Fortune Lover'' [[WrongGenreSavvy despite having act kind to her friends, including the heroine Maria]]), thinks that a sword-swinging assassin has no place in an Otome game, where antagonism is limited to bullying from female nobles.

** The BigBad Gouki has a lot of standards. He keeps his word unflinchingly, and refused to indulge in YouHaveFailedMe.

%%* Within the warped and [[DoubleStandard inconsistent]] moral code outlined in ''Naruto Veangance Revelaitons'', Naruto's reluctance to have sex with Sakura out of a desire to not hurt her boyfriend Ronan can be seen as this, even if he ultimately gives in. Also there's [[VillainProtagonist Ronan]], who is [[PoliticallyIncorrectHero disgusted]] by [[GuyOnGuyIsHot men]] having sex with each other is outraged to learn that one of the Council's plans is to kill all gay people, declaring that in spite of not liking gay men, he would never kill them. Proof that he's tolerant, as befits this trope.

* ''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6871105/1/Reactions Reactions]]'' uses this trope liberally. Even [[MadScientist Orochimaru]], [[BloodKnight Zabuza]], [[WellIntentionedExtremist Danzo]], and [[BigBad Madara]] think [[TeacherStudentRomance Kakashi/Naruto]] is sick. Reasoning varies from the fact Kakashi is a grown man and Naruto is a child, to worry about the psychological trauma to the resident [[SealedInAPersonShapedCan jinchuuriki]], to believing it a violation of the trust between teacher and student.

* The Black Cat Pirates in ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11920014/5/Logia-Luffy-Rise-of-the-Dark-Emperor Logia Luffy: Rise of the Dark Emperor]]'' have no problem with looting a village. But several are uncomfortable with killing it's inhabitants and all of them balk at killing women and children, though for some it's because doing so would see them hanged by the Marines.

** The only one who is actively ''enjoying'' it is [[AxCrazy Doflamingo]], [[TheKnightsWhoSaySquee who is wishing he could replicate the horror]]. Not surprising when you know his bloodline. Even his own men find his reaction disgusting, and show their disapproval by vacating the premises.

** Sabrina in fic is a [[TheSocialDarwinist Social Darwinist]] who believes that people who she considers weak shouldn't exist and has killed untold amounts of people in the search of this 'ideal'. However her view of Social Darwinism does not extend to a dog-eat-dog world like, say, the X-Men's ComicBook/{{Apocalypse}}: her views on what a strong person is extend to any sort of talent. You could have no muscle tone at all, but if you are smart or a good artist she would see you as worthy of life. She also doesn't automatically equate defeat with death, and will let trainers who face her live even in defeat as long as they impress her. She also wants nothing to do with the [[BigBad Bloodliner King]] and finds his bloodlust disturbing.

** Pyrrha, Ren, and Nora really don't like Cinder, largely because she isn't with Salem out of genuine loyalty but her own gain, and hate the idea of her using Jaune for her own gain.

-->'''Torchwick:''' Let's get this straight. I'm the boss. My word is law. I may be a convict, a con-man, a thief, and sometimes even a killer. I lie, I cheat, I steal, and I survive. But I do '''''NOT''''' promote rape, and especially pedophilia! That's low even for me!
* Creator/CoeurAlAran likes to use this trope whenever he can, as he finds completely irredeemable characters to be rather one-note. Roman, Cinder, Neo, and Adam tend to get his with this the most, but there are multiple examples:
** Roman Torchwick is disgusted with both Vale Secret Service in general and Oobleck in particular in ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12574905/35/In-the-Kingdom-s-Service In the Kingdom's Service]]'' after the latter sealed the tunnel to Mountain Glenn on the former's orders. Not only did Oobleck and the VSS condemn thousands to die either by falling rocks or the Grimm, but their own teammates died right in front of Roman and Oobleck. In the aftermath, before becoming a criminal, Roman blew the whistle on their actions when the VSS and Vale Council tried to sweep the whole affair under the rug. In Roman's words, after over twenty years as a criminal, he still hasn't come close to the bodycount Oobleck earned that day.

*** At one point, Watts turns down the chance to kiss Pyrrha while she's drunk. Among the multiple pragmatic and self-preservation based reasons, he also mentions the genuine standards of [[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil not taking advantage of a drunk woman]] and [[NoYay refusing to engage in peadophilia]].

*** Admiral Piett expresses pride in the ''[[BigDumbObject Executor]]''[='=]s ability to annihilate all life on a planet through OrbitalBombardment, but even he despises the very idea of the Death Star. He also explains why: the ''Executor'' can destroy a single building, reduce a planet's crust into molten slag, and cause all kinds of inbetween damage as required, but the Death Star can only [[EarthShatteringKaboom reduce one into asteroids]]. Luke pointing out that Palpatine, and not Tarkin, was the one who actually came up with the idea is what starts turning him against the Emperor.

*** A number of Imperial personnel defects to the Alliance not because they disagree with the ideals of the New Order, but because they feel the Empire betrayed said ideals and they enrolled to protect the peace and enforce the law, not to commit atrocities. One of them even admits he fought under Veers on Hoth and is ''proud'' of what he did.

*** Veers is a proud Imperial-and ready to murder an older man if the much younger date he brought to a party turns out to not be his daughter. He's thus quite happy when, talking with the girl, he learns he is indeed her father the Viceroy of Alderaan.

*** Many Imperial officers are appalled at undersecretary Kilesa for trying to rape a woman and then shoot a teenaged Leia in the back for stopping him. Before he gets to prison, [[PoliceBrutality Kilesa is beaten up by the arresting cops]] in addition to what Veers had already done him.

*** ''Before'' the Clone Wars he's shown to be a [[FantasticRacism human-centric speciesist]], but doesn't care if his crew members are aliens as long as they do their job, and holds a special hatred for slavers ''and'' thinking his speciesism would make him leave them alone if they only targeted aliens. He also holds bribery and corruption into contempt.
** ''The Emperor'' is appalled by the Lasat genocide, not for being committed but because it was done with ion disruptors, that waste immense quantities of tibanna gas (and are in fact supposed to be anti-''tank'' weapons) and torture people to death, both of which even ''he'' finds excessive when applied on planetary scale.
*** Also, he's ''not'' a paedophile. According to Tarkin it's because [[CompensatingForSomething such actions are actually an attempt to stem conscious or unconscious doubts about oneself by dominating someone]], and ''that'' is one character flaw Palpatine doesn't have.

** Darth Vader has no patience for the Empire's demands that the Stormtroopers [[YouAreNumberSix renounce their names for their identification numbers]] and lose their personalities, and allows the ones of the two units under his direct command, the First Legion and the 501st Legion, to act as they please when off-duty as long as they do their job. He also has no tolerance for people trying to make unsafe vehicles for the troops, as shown when he Force Choked admiral Octavian Grant into leaving the ejection seat in the [=TIE/LN=]. All of this was before Tarkin started to slowly manipulate him back to the light side.
** Raith Sienar may be a morally challenged individual, but does things by common sense and has no patience for basic safety violations. He's introduced in the middle of a nervous breakdown because Navy Procurement decided to not only put in production the [[MookMobile TIE/LN]] exactly as in the FlawedPrototype without letting him refine it into a proper fleet-based fighter, but even tried to remove the ejection seat.

* ''Fanfic/ImperiumOfVader'': Vader, Tarkin, Thrawn and the Grand Inquisitor are all disgusted and enraged when they learn of the Emperor's Contingency, the plan to destroy the Empire if Palpatine died by anything other than [[DragonAscendant Vader's hands]]. They are all infuriated that the Emperor would have thrown away everything they worked and bled for just to spite the galaxy for not following his idea of how things had to go.

*** Despite all the atrocities he commits throughout the fic, Chris does feel bad when DJ is left paralyzed due to his unfortunate encounter with a grizzly bear, leading him to give DJ a MercyKill via injecting a painless snake venom in his veins so he will not suffer. Not that this prevents him from making a cruel joke about his death later on, but DJ gets to be the sole eliminated camper who dies quickly and painlessly.
*** He acts with honor towards some of his contestants, letting everyone say goodbye to Harold as he expires from his gunshot wound, letting Courtney say goodbye to her friends and allowing Geoff to share his final moments with Bridgette before trying to execute him for losing the finale to Justin.

*** In Host Searching and Kidnapping, he never rats out Erin and thinks tattle telling's for children. In the same episode, he was shocked to hear it was Blaineley who told Chris.
*** He's will not abuse or physically harm on children, especially Selene.
*** When J.Z. ask Scott for advise on revenge, Scott suggested eating them since he's half dragon. J.Z. found that "dark and disturbing" because he's not a cannibal.

** When questioning about J.Z.'s rivalry with Gard over Sylvia, Apollo said that jealousy and yandere is the lowest form of evil.
*** Despite Apollo's angry at Gard for betraying him, he asked how Jamille was since he knew her and that she was sick.

** Kasimar [=McSkeen=] may still act like violent criminal, but he draws the line at child abuse.

* Subverted in ''Fanfic/WarbandOfTheForsakenSons''. In chapter 10, it seems like [[EvilutionaryBiologist Jikaerus]] is unnerved by the fate of [[ReforgedIntoAMinion Governor Tarsis]].

Lord Hater shows up and is ready to try and defeat him, only to realize that Wander is sick and immediately drop everything to try and get him medical care, thinking it's "not cool" to try and defeat an enemy if they're seriously ill.
