* ''Webcomic/GrimTalesFromDownBelow'': [[Franchise/ThePowerpuffGirls HIM]] is upset when his daughter betrayed him but not at the betrayal itself, but the reason for Mimi's betrayal is for the lover of her friend. Him even said that if she betrayed him for petty reasons, he [[BadIsGoodAndGoodIsBad would've been proud.]]

** In ''Recap/StartOfDarkness'', Xykon defeats Dorukan and seals his soul within a gem along with the soul of former teammate Lirian. His only understanding of love being mostly just sex and rape, he just assumes that this is AndIMustScream. However, he actually unites the souls of two lovers for eternity.

** Dominik is envious of Wolfe's success and charisma and assumes it to be a demonstration of superiority, so he teams up with a spirit of {{Envy}} that allows him to steal success from others. When he shows off, Wolfe just praises his (stolen) accomplishments. Although Envy doesn't make the connection, Dominik realizes [[HeelRealization too late]] that Wolfe is truly a NiceGuy who genuinely didn't notice others envied him, or [[InnocentlyInsensitive even that they just can't match his talents]].

* ''Webcomic/{{Sinfest}}'': The Devil provides the page image if nothing else.
** In fact, in the trope's image, he thinks God made him just to make himself look good.

** A group of politicians dig up an old, unfulfilled contract involving ancient relics to seize Quentyn's old hometown. Quentyn [[PullTheThread pulls the thread]] on the whole thing by going out to try and fulfill the contract, even if it takes him the rest of his life. Because of laws concerning such contracts, even if he dies trying, the contract is canceled.

* ''Webcomic/GrimTalesFromDownBelow'': [[WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls Him]] is upset when his daughter betrayed him but not at the betrayal itself, but the reason for Mimi's betrayal is for the lover of her friend. Him even said that if she betrayed him for petty reasons, he [[BadIsGoodAndGoodIsBad would've been proud.]]

** Yet another example is Nale's inability to understand that despite their differences, Roy and his sister Julia really do love each other. After all, [[CainAndAbel shouldn't all siblings have a violent hatred for each other]]?

* ''Webcomic/GirlGenius'': Baron Wulfenbach is definitely an antagonist, though perhaps not an outright villain. However, he can't understand that some things ''don't'' have a sinster ulterior motive behind them. For example, when an opponent allows his severely battered army to withdraw from the battlefield, he immediately sends out scouts to search for the flanking force preparing to destroy them they must have missed. That his opponent is genuinely trying to avoid further bloodshed never even crosses his mind. To be fair, such a thing ''is'' pretty unprecedented [[{{Realpolitik}} in the setting]].

* In [[http://www.lfgcomic.com/page/291/ this page]] of ''WebComic/LookingForGroup'', TokenEvilTeammate Richard listens as Kale and Benny finally consummate their sexual tension. But since he has no concept of making love, his first thought is that Kale is killing her.
* Deconstructed with Meenah in ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}''. When her girlfriend, [[spoiler: pre-RetCon Vriska]], is being tormented by [[spoiler: post-RetCon Vriska]], she proclaims to agree with the latter party, deciding that all of the loving and kind qualities that led to the pair being lovers in the first place really does make the former party a weak person. Meenah figures that being evil is simply a part of her genes and cannot be changed and leaves to help the bully's plans, clearly distraught by her choice.

* ''Webcomic/ElGoonishShive'': Sirleck cannot understand why [[OurElvesAreDifferent Raven]] would [[http://www.egscomics.com/index.php?id=2190 do charity work for military veterans.]]
--> '''Sirleck:''' What's the point of living for centuries if you're going to let your heart bleed?

* ''Webcomic/GFSerendipity'': Stan is the last person Bill Cipher expected to show up at Ford's shack. [[WordOfGod OrangePhoenix6]] mentions the estrangement between Stan and Ford to be one of Bill's reasons. Bill is later surprised that Stan wouldn't sell out Fiddleford to make him leave Ford alone.

** There's a similar "Chaos Cannot Comprehend Law" example in Girard's emnity with Soon, spelled out starting in [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0694.html #694]]. Girard was so unshakably certain that Soon would find some excuse and loophole to come find his Gate -- in spite of his Oath not to -- that he gave Soon the wrong coordinates (which led to a trap). It never occurred to him that Soon would honor his oath and hold his subordinates and successors to the same oath. His distrust of Soon ended up being a NiceJobBreakingItHero moment, as Serini's diary, which held the true coordinates, was in the possession of Xykon, and the heroic Order of the Stick was left with the wrong coordinates.

* The spirits of the SevenDeadlySins in ''Webcomic/{{Widdershins}}'' aren't evil so much as antagonistic and utterly single-minded, but {{Lust}} freely acknowledges that he doesn't understand how humans function with "such a mess of chaotic emotions." Consequently he assumes that LoveIsAWeakness and overlooks how strong some of the couples in the story are with each other as backup.

* ''Webcomic/ElGoonishShive'': Sirleck cannot understand why [[OurElvesAreBetter Raven]] would [[http://www.egscomics.com/index.php?id=2190 do charity work for military veterans.]]

** [[http://www.sinfest.net/view.php?date=2007-11-18 Case in point]]: He's still in disbelief that Buddha and Jesus are still having fun despite losing the race. It doesn't click in his mind that while material comforts may provide him with short-term happiness, he's still left LonelyAtTheTop.

** It ultimately proves to be the downfall of [[spoiler:the High Priest of Hel]], starting from strip [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots1128.html 1128]] and culminating in [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots1130.html #1130]]. [[spoiler:Being formed from one of Durkon's worst memories and essentially being a personification of who he was on the worst day of his life, [=HPoH=] proves unable to process the memory that Durkon's mother had given up 25,000 GP (which would have been more than enough to have a cleric both resurrect her recently-departed husband and regenerate her arm) to save five strangers who had died without honour in a mining accident. Even Durkon himself admits to having trouble understanding it at times, but, with a PatrickStewartSpeech about how it's not only the worst day of one's life that makes a person who they are, he floods [=HPoH=] with all of his positive memories at once, [[AssimilationBackfire converting the vampire spirit into a more accurate image of himself.]]]]

* In ''Webcomic/{{Sinfest}}''. [[http://www.sinfest.net/view.php?date=2009-09-18 Buddha is happy, despite not having all Satan's stuff. Therefore, obviously, Buddha's priorities are screwed up.]]

Girard was so unshakably certain that Soon would find some excuse and loophole to come find his Gate--in spite of his Oath not to--that he tailored his Gate's defenses with Soon in mind. It didn't occur to him that not only would Soon keep his oath, but hold his subordinates, the order of paladins he founded, to the same oath.

* A rather bizzare subversion occurs in ''Webcomic/{{Goblins}}''. When Kore, a KnightTemplar Extraordinare chases a group of goblins and takes one of them prisoner, he proceeds to torture him, (correctly) expecting the others to hear the screams and try and save their comrade. However, judging from his uncompromising approach to "evil" races, you'd think he'd consider such "irredeemably corrupt and wicked beasts" as goblins to be incapable of selflessness and comradeship.
