History InnocentlyInsensitive / AnimeAndManga

* Laios of ''Manga/DeliciousInDungeon'' can be this sometimes. His love for everything monster-related leads him to do and say questionable things. In one chapter where everyone is stripping down out of their wet clothing, he wants [[spoiler: to see a naked Itsuzumi. Not for any sexual reasons, but to see how her fusion with an animal soul has affected her body. He is still forced to wear a blindfold by the others for the rest of the chapter.]]

* ''Literature/TheCaseFilesOfJewelerRichard'':
** While Seigi is a kind person and usually bears no ill will towards others, he has the tendency to speak without taking into consideration how his speech might affect the other person, making him come off as rather pushy at times (and an InnocentBigot at worst). Richard even calls him out for this, and he works to get better.
* ''Literature/ACertainMagicalIndex'':
** Touma Kamijou says that it's ridiculous that so many people think he's attracted to girls like Index or Mikoto because they're just kids (he's 17, they're 14). While he's trying to say he's not a pedophile, [[ObliviousToLove he doesn't understand that they're genuinely and completely in love with him]], and he doesn't understand that [[ACupAngst implying they have small boobs]], are not beautiful and sexy (instead of pretty and cute), are short, etc. are their biggest {{Berserk Button}}s.

* Masao from ''Manga/{{Shiki}}'' is mostly just a JerkAss, but there's many scenes where he comes off this way too.

* ''Anime/MagicalGirlLyricalNanohaAs'': [[CloningBlues Fate]] instantly draws a connection between herself and [[AntiVillain the Wolkenritter]] upon Chrono's reveal that the latter are [[JustAMachine nothing more than semi-autonomous magical programs]].[[labelnote:*]][[AndroidsArePeopleToo This isn't actually true]], but the heroes [[DramaticIrony don't know that yet]][[/labelnote]] He and Lindy backpedal ''very'' quickly to tell her that she was just born differently and is [[ClonesArePeopleToo just as human as everyone else]].

* ''Manga/MiraculousTalesOfLadybugAndChatNoir'': In Chapter 4, Chloé asks what Adrien thinks about Nathaniel's comic, but Adrien is distracted and simply tells her he doesn't care, causing Nathaniel to run out in shame and making Adrien one of his targets after Nathaniel is transformed into a supervillain. Adrien eventually manages to smooth things over with him, explaining he wasn't paying attention to what was being discussed, and assuring Evillustrator that he's actually quite a fan of comics.

* ''Manga/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime1999'': When a Kakariko villager compliments Link on killing Volvagia, Link sets his teacup down and loses his good mood, since [[spoiler:Volvagia used to be a peaceful dragon before being corrupted by Ganondorf's magic]].

* ''Manga/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime'': When a Kakariko villager compliments Link on killing Volvagia, Link sets his teacup down and loses his good mood, since [[spoiler:Volvagia used to be a peaceful dragon before being corrupted by Ganondorf's magic]].

* A climax of ''LightNovel/DragonarAcademy'' starts purely because [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} the airheaded maid Plum]] mutters a racist comment that [[InterSpeciesRomance a dragon and a human can't get married]]. Eco, who's a hypersensitive {{Tsundere}}, launches herself out of the castle in despair and ''right into the enemy's hands''.

* ''Manga/InuYasha'''s title character has his moments. [[JustifiedTrope Justified]], since he is a half-demon and was treated rudely by humans and demons, decided to live isolated from others and hence doesn't know when something can be seen as rude.

** An interesting example is that [[LightNovel/KonoSuba Aqua]] ''was'' intentionally ragging on Eris for padding her bra after defending [[LightNovel/Overlord2012 Albedo]] being a virgin -- with the unintentional part being insulting Aldebo's cohort Shalltear, who's just as prone to do the same thing Aqua was ragging on Eris for.
** Aqua herself was on the receiving end of this after Aniz and [[LightNovel/ReZero Subaru]] calm [[LightNovel/SagaOfTanyaTheEvil Tanya]] after she came to believe Aqua was Being X, both with Subaru pointing out how pathetic Aqua is and Tanya realizing that because of this, Aqua couldn't be Being X.

* Mashiro of ''LightNovel/ThePetGirlOfSakurasou'', who is an IdiotSavant, has NoSocialSkills, [[WordOfDante and is seen by most viewers]] as [=autistic=], runs into this in a close to OnceAnEpisode frequency.

* The titular character in ''LightNovel/VioletEvergarden'', due to having NoSocialSkills as she lived her entire life as a {{Child Soldier|s}}. When meeting the Evergarden family for the first time, she bluntly proclaimed to their faces that she doesn't know what a "family" is and has no use for one. This initially causes Violet problems on the job, as her bluntness puts off her other co-workers and she inadvertently took a client's word at face value, writing her response to a love letter as negative and materialistic instead of coy.

* ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'': Rei once throws an ArmorPiercingSlap for saying some insulting things about Gendo, who has raised her for as long as she knows. She doesn't know that Gendo abandoned Shinji shortly after his mother died, and had every right to be pissed off at Gendo.

* In ''Manga/{{Sazanka}}'', Tatsuki and Aoi's mutual friend, [[NoNameGiven whom the author calls "Friend A"]], has a habit of calling Tatsuki, who has Asperger's, "an aspie" when Tatsuki spaces out during conversations. The "Innocently" part comes into play when it turns out that Tatsuki never told Friend A, who'd heard someone use the term online and followed suit, not realizing what it meant.

* While Seigi of ''LightNovel/TheCaseFilesOfJewelerRichard'' is a kind person and usually bears no ill will towards others, he has the tendency to speak without taking into consideration how his speech might affect the other person, making him come off as rather pushy at times (and an InnocentBigot at worst). Richard even calls him out for this, and he works to get better.
* Touma Kamijou from ''Literature/TheCaseFilesOfJewelerRichard'' says it's ridiculous that so many people think he's attracted to girls like Index or Mikoto because they're just kids (he's 17, they're 14). While he's trying to say he's not a pedophile, [[ObliviousToLove he doesn't understand that they're genuinely and completely in love with him]], and he doesn't understand that [[ACupAngst implying they have small boobs]], are not beautiful and sexy (instead of pretty and cute), are short, etc. are their biggest {{Berserk Button}}s.

** Akari Unryū, a sweet girl who hails from a sumo pig farm family business (and rides with a giant sumo pig), actually believes comparing someone to pigs is a compliment. Many an ordinary person would find this weird or off-putting, much less Ryōga, who [[ComplimentBackfire sinks into a depressive funk upon being compared to a pig]] ([[BalefulPolymorph in part because he turns into one when doused with cold water]]).

** Lev is friendly and good-natured for the most part, but his habit of commenting on Yaku's height, something the latter is [[HeightAngst incredibly sensitive about]], often ends with him getting his butt kicked.

* ''Manga/{{Haikyuu}}'': This is one of [[SociallyAwkward] Kageyama's biggest flaws. He's [[BrutalHonesty extremely blunt]], [[SociallyAwkward unable to read the atmosphere]] (lampshaded by his teammates in episode 4), and speaks his mind without a filter, like when he gives a honest evaluation of someone's volleyball skills.

** Misa's "experiment" on Ao in Chapter 7 / Episode 3 smacks of this. What she wants is to know whether Ao gets close to everyone, or just to Mira. She does this in a way that Moe [[MistakenForCheating mistakes her for seducing Ao]], and both Ao and Mira are not pleased by her explanation that Ao was her "guinea pig", especially when Ao nearly [[HatesBeingTouched gets a panic attack]] from Misa.

* ''Manga/{{Working}}'':
** Yachiyo likes talking to Sato about how cool Kyoko is and how much [[LesYay she loves]] and [[HeroWorship admires her]]. Since Sato loves Yachiyo, this is really unnerving him, but she doesn't realise that she is hurting his feelings because she is ObliviousToLove.
** Yamada, being a CloudCuckoolander, will sometimes do or say something that annoys someone or push a BerserkButton, despite not meaning any arm.
** Takanashi Souta suffers from CutenessProximity in the presence of anything small, such as children, small animals, or Popura. So he can't help gushing about the latter small size despite the fact that she is complexed by it and would just love to be taller.

* This is what kicks off the plot of ''Anime/TheAnthemOfTheHeart'': as a child, Jun Naruse witnesses her father leave a [[LoveHotels gaudy building made to look like a fairytale castle]] accompanied by a woman she's never seen before, and immediately comes to the conclusion that he's secretly a prince- and promptly goes to tell her mother. As Jun gushes about her father and "his princess", her mother's back is to the camera, but her reaction is more than clear to the viewer.

** Yuu "Nana" Nanami speaks her mind without reading the room. For example, in Chapter 34, when the results come back for the Shining Star Challenge applications- [[spoiler:Mira passed and Ao failed]]- the first thing she wonders aloud is why [[spoiler:it is [[TheDitz Mira]], rather than [[TheSmartGirl Ao]]]] who passes it. Chikage has to shut her up for [[LampshadeHanging rubbing salt into their wounds]].

** Little Marron, Krillin & Android 18's daughter, also qualifies. In a scene in the Great Saiyaman Saga, when Master Roshi asks if he wants to participate in the tournament, she replies with "No way, you're too old!!". For Marron, this is a JustifiedTrope, as she is only 3 years old and she doesn't know any better.

** An interesting example is that [[LightNovel/KonoSuba Aqua]] ''was'' intentionally ragging on Eris for padding her bra after defending [[LightNovel/Overlord2012 Albedo]] being a virgin--with the unintentional part being insulting Aldebo's cohort Shalltear, who's just as prone to do the same thing Aqua was ragging on Eris for.

* A really twisted example happens in ''Manga/JojosBizarreAdventureStardustCrusaders''. The team checks into a hotel run by Enya Geil, master of the Justice Stand and actually an assassin planning to kill them all one by one. Polnareff walks in on her while she's trying to dispose of a body, and starts talking about how she seems very lonely running the place on her own, and doesn't she have a son or a family, and wouldn't it be nice to have grandkids running around, and even offers to fill the void for tonight by pretending to be her son. Thing is, Enya ''had'' a son - J. 'Centerfold' Geil - whom Polnareff ''killed''.[[note]] Of course, he was also an assassin, as well as a serial killer who had once killed Polnareff's sister, so he was definitely not an angel in anyone's eyes but his mother's. [[/note]]Enya is ''seething'' and fighting hard to keep from dropping the charade and just stab him there and then. And Polnareff just keeps ''smiling''.

* ''Manga/YuuutsuKunToSuccubusSan'': Eru the angel wants to help the depressed Yuu get back on his feet. Unfortunately, all she can do is encourage Yuu to do his best, unwittingly hit his TraumaButton, or otherwise offer empty platitudes. In contrast, the very first chapter shows Sakuma the succubus reading up on depression and discovering that telling people who tend to put blame on themselves "do your best" is the exact opposite of what's best to do, and one should instead tell them "you did your best."
