** A [[SociopathicHero Renegade]] [[PlayerCharacter Shepard]] can say:

* A loading screen in ''VideoGame/BorderlandsThePreSequel'' declares that Pangolin-manufactured shields must have the highest capacity because the Pangolin company only makes shields and thus 'must have more shield to fit into every shield'.
-->'''Loading screen:''' [[LampshadeHanging BAM! Logic!]]

* ''VideoGame/Fallout4'': In the "Automatron" DLC questline, you investigate the KillerRobots unleashed by the Mechanist, and just why they are killing everyone if the Mechanist is claiming to be trying to save the people of the Commonwealth. As it turns out, [[spoiler:the Robobrains that convey the Mechanist's orders to their robots are the ones at fault, because the Robobrains came to the conclusion that any aid they provide would be rendered moot later: if they saved someone from a raider, for instance, they might later be killed by a feral ghoul, or a Super Mutant, or simply by accident through no one's fault. Ergo, the best way to save everyone was to [[MercyKill kill everyone]]. The Mechanist was never aware of what was happening because all the Robobrains reported was that they were carrying out their orders.]]

** A flashback in ReMIND both explains his reasoning and shows the gaping hole in it that he always ignores. Xehanort is convinced that people's hearts are inherently weak; accusing their light of being a farce, he claims that they repeatedly steal power from each other and delude themselves into thinking they've earned it, using "hollow reasons as justification", and would plunge the whole World into chaos with their uncontrolled darkness if they kept this up. His solution was to become the master of darkness itself, purge all those weak hearts and their false lights, and harness the original light of Kingdom Hearts to maintain order in the new, empty world. Given what he apparently witnessed on his world tour, it's an understandable world-view... but then he arbitrarily decides that his OWN heart is somehow different, and over the course of the next 75 years does EXACTLY what he'd accused all those "weak-hearted" people of doing. Why? Because he can sense where he's meant to go and what he's supposed to do. StableTimeLoop or not, this is far from a rational basis for a decision, and one gets the impression that his whole worldview was partially created by projecting his OWN flaws on everyone else.

** One of the Team Plasma members in Chargestone Cave has this line to offer after she is defeated: "[[MoralMyopia It's bad for ordinary Trainers like you to use Pokémon. It's good for us members of Team Plasma to use Pokémon!]]"

** The AnimalWrongsGroup, Team Plasma. Especially the [[FacelessGoons grunts]] and their tendency to [[BlatantLies explain themselves]] along the lines of 'we're abusing this Pokemon to help it!'

* At one point in ''VideoGame/PaperMario'' you find some instances of Duplighosts impersonating your partners and you having to SpotTheImposter. The third time the Duplighosts appear and try to impersonate Kooper they appear impersonating other npcs in the game, including ''Luigi'', while insisting they are Kooper. The one impersonating Luigi tells you that you should believe he's Kooper because ''you should trust your own brother''.

* A major part of the flash game ''[[http://argumentchampion.com/ Argument Champion]]'' consists of intertwining arbitrarily chosen audience likes and dislikes with equally arbitrary concepts, often relying on a word with two or more definitions. For example, you can construct a "logical" chain connecting REBELLION to CEILING. Of course, shorter chains that rely on less ChewbaccaDefense reasoning get you more impressive opinion swings, but usually you'll find at least one.

* ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaChroniclesOfSorrow'':
** In ''Aria of Sorrow'', Graham declares that he is destined to inherit Dracula's powers simply because he was born on the day Dracula was destroyed. Never mind the fact that there were millions of other people who were also born on that day.
*** ''Dawn of Sorrow'' reveals two of those other people, who also inherited a portion of Dracula's power, lending some credibility to Graham's claim. They were termed "Dark Lord Candidates" and recruited by the cult "With Light" to assume the role since protagonist Soma Cruz, Dracula's reincarnation, rejected his destiny to do so.

* ''Franchise/{{Castlevania}}'':
** Graham in ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaAriaOfSorrow'' declares that he is destined to inherit Dracula's powers simply because he was born on the day Dracula was destroyed. Never mind the fact that there were millions of other people who were also born on that day.

** ''Dawn of Sorrow'' reveals that multiple other people born on that day also inherited portions of Dracula's power, lending some credibility to Graham's claim, and Celia's cult is dedicated to recruiting and grooming them into succeeding Dracula as the next Dark Lord, because they believe GoodNeedsEvil and so {{God}} needs the Dark Lord, embodying Perfect Evil, to stand opposite Him so that He can embody Perfect Good. Arikado is the one who disputes this in the ending, stating that forcing a new Dark Lord to emerge was unnecessary. Even if it isn't Soma due to being Dracula's reincarnation, if the world needs a new Dark Lord, one will appear of their own accord, as was the case with Dracula himself.

* ''VideoGame/Portal'': In the second game, when you reunite with GLaDOS she calls you a monster for killing her, even though she's the one who tried to kill YOU — unprovoked, at that — in the first game. That is, it was her duty and task to terminate you, the subject, and your turn of the table defied that purpose and even dared to cause a sophisticated AI to cease functioning.

* Jean-Luc Measurehead in ''VideoGame/DiscoElysium'' is a racial supremacist and hardcore believer in anthropometric-based racism, to the point he has phrenology charts tattooed all over his body. The problem? Measurehead is black and anthorpometric racism is complete rubbish that claims white people are superior. His justification is that Occidentals have fallen into weakness after stopping colonization and crushing lesser civilizations, but especially because they ''drink [[InsistentTerminology al gul]], smoke tobacco and eat potatoes'' and don't partake in "semen retention", meaning the science is sound but his race is the superior one.
