* ''Webcomic/TheLastDaysOfFOXHOUND'': Berthold is appalled when he learns that by taking off Mantis's mask, Raven has exposed him to the thoughts of every human in a wide radius, and demands that Raven put it back on even though the two had been fighting moments previously, describing it as "too cruel, even for him". (Biting him on the arm for being an asshole moments later is ''not'' too cruel, though.)

* Comes up in the ''Webcomic/PennyArcade'' comic "[[https://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2004/08/16 We Do In Fact Have Limits]]", where Gabe suggests to Tycho that they could do a strip about spawn camping where a terrorist waits for a woman to give birth just so he could kill the baby. Tycho is less than thrilled with this suggestion and grabs Gabe by his shirt while giving his honest opinion on the idea.

* ''Webcomic/DarthsAndDroids'': Pete views killing [=NPCs=] as a chance to grab bonus XP, but even he finds Annie's sheer glee in killing them during the "Revenge of the Sith" intro to be unnerving, and views the plan to use their half-dreadnought's fuel and all its missiles as a braking method to be too insane even for them.
* Porn star Bimbo of ''Webcomic/ExploitationNow'' has slightly more morals than Ralph when it comes to a sexual lifestyle. She finds his excessive nightly masturbation sickening and feels there's "something wrong" with watching porn while eating breakfast.
* One of the tentacle monsters in ''Webcomic/GhastlysGhastlyComic'' thinks it's wrong to sexually assault human women, although this is at least in part due to a personal distaste for them.
* A meta example for ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}''. Hussie intentionally put the webcomic on hiatus before Act 6 Act 6 Intermission 3 due to [[WhamEpisode the events that transpired during it]]. He admits in the newspost after he put the update up that even [[TrollingCreator he]] isn't that cruel.
* ''Webcomic/MenageA3'' draws most of its humor from the fact that most of the cast are [[ItsAllAboutMe self-absorbed]] and sex-mad. However, they almost all retain some sympathetic features, and it's clear that they have lines they won't cross. For example:
** Zii objects to Gary attempting to "pimp her out" to Amber (it's a long story); she may be very sexually active and broad-minded, but it's a question of consent. Some readers have suggested that her standards there are a little ambiguous, given her own past behavior, but they do exist.
** [=DiDi=], whose capacity for empathy is questionable and whose quest for an orgasm is dangerously obsessive, becomes wildly sentimental about any kind of sob story, and makes some effort to avoid hooking up with people who are already in serious relationships.
** Amber may trick Gary into giving her oral sex, and use her sexuality to scam herself a free apartment, but she's a nice person ''really'', just ''very'' uninhibited; the idea of someone manipulatively ''withholding'' sex disgusts her.
** Matt may be a hopelessly vain {{jerkass}} [[TheCasanova Casanova]], but he's reliably decent to his friends and treats Ruby (from the spinoff ''Webcomic/StickyDillyBuns'') notably kindly during their one brief meeting.
** And even total {{jerkass}} Nathan has some lines he won't cross -- for example, he can see that ''actually'' realising his twincest fantasy would probably be traumatic for the twins.
* In ''Webcomic/MotherlyScootaloo'', Jet Set and Upper Crust may be jerks, but [[spoiler:the only reason they accused Scootaloo of murder in the Trial was because their attorney had assured then Scootaloo was 100% guilty]].

She actually gets annoyed by this, noting that just because she loves treasure doesn't mean that she's opposed to doing ''anything'' for free.
* ''Webcomic/QuentynQuinnSpaceRanger'' has a CourtroomEpisode arc that is an extended TakeThat to ''Literature/TheColdEquations'', and one of the invited witnesses is a Fedork engineer. The Fedorks are a parody of [[Franchise/StarTrek the United Federation of Planets]] that do things believed InUniverse to be TooDumbToLive, such as utilizing antimatter for their ship reactors and an over-reliance on energy shields. Even they believe wholeheartedly in having backup systems and extensive safety margins on their ship designs, and the engineer has a FreakOut when he's told that the shuttle design he's been told to review is [[MyGodYouAreSerious not some kind of a joke]], it actually exists, it has been mass produced, and someone [[ThrownOutTheAirlock had to be jettisoned out of one]] (and was nearly killed) because her weight critically compromised the ship's already hair-thin performance. [[spoiler:It turns out that the whole she-bang of the plot, from crappy security to death-trap design, was all part of a scheme by the company's leading CorruptCorporateExecutive circle [[KillThePoor to bait and kill galactic hitchhikers]] and try to legally get away with it.]]
* Tagon of ''Webcomic/SchlockMercenary'' has few moral standards beyond [[OnlyInItForTheMoney getting paid]], but while he may not be a particularly good ''person'', he refuses to be a bad ''commander'' and is AFatherToHisMen. In the original charter for the Toughs, there's a note that death benefits for both enlisted troops and officers come out of the captain's dividends, to ensure that lives are spent responsibly.
* In ''Webcomic/SonicTheComicOnline'', even Sonic is pretty disgusted when he gets a chance to see just how much of an ass he was in the past.
* ''Webcomic/StandStillStaySilent'': In the prologue, Michael Madsen's boss threatens to fire him if he doesn't come back from his personal ferry trip to Bornholm island by the next day. Because of this, Michael suggests various solutions, including taking a night ferry. His boss, despite his insistence on having him back as soon as possible, hesitates about that option as it sounds like "something smelly" to him, and suggests seeing if he can hire a helicopter instead.
* Parodied in [[https://xkcd.com/496/ this page]] of ''Webcomic/{{xkcd}}'', where the Black Hat Guy's standards are rather arbitrary.
-->'''Black Hat Guy''': I plead the third.\\
'''Congressman''': You mean the fifth?\\
'''Black Hat Guy''': No, the third.\\
'''Congressman''': You refuse to quarter troops in your house?\\
'''Black Hat Guy''': I have few principles, but I stick to them.
