* ''VideoGame/DragonAgeII'': Invoked by the FlavorText of Varric's special ability "Unauthorized Biographer", which is unlocked by maxing out his [[TheRival Rivalry]] [[RelationshipValues score]]. Varric is the CharacterNarrator of the whole game, so if you do that, the world will primarily learn about [[PlayerCharacter Hawke]] from someone whom you've gone out of your way to antagonize[[note]]which is the ''only'' way to unlock that particular ability - Varric is the easiest companion in the game to befriend, apart from Hawke's sister, and conversely is the most difficult with whom to get into a rivalry[[/note]].
-->''One of these days, Varric will tell your story. Whether you like it or not.''

* ''VideoGame/Shipwrecked64'': The character Stumbler O'Hare, a "hopeless romantic" of a rabbit who [[IronicallyDisabledArtist tries to paint despite his arms having been torn off]], was created by the in-universe developer Connor Thomas to make fun of the BigBad [[spoiler:Mark Mullins, who, along with ''far'' more serious crimes that Connor discovered, embezzled a very large amount of money to pay medical bills for his wife]] who recently had an arm amputated. [[DeconstructedTrope Stumbler himself is fully aware of his origins, sympathizes with the very person he was made to spite, and is haunted by guilt]].

'''Administrivia/InUniverseExamplesOnly''', please! This is about fictional characters having fictional beef, not real people venting through fiction. This is still TruthInTelevision though; RealLife examples belong on RevengeFic or TakeThat. Similarly, the RomanAClef novel is often used by imaginatively vindictive authors to "get even" with people they have a beef against, by writing them in as unappealing or unflatteringly described characters. MuseAbuse is when people incorporate real life people into their art in ways that offend everyone around them and cause them social damage.

* ''Series/TheOfficeUS'': When Michael makes his homemade movie, ''Threat Level Midnight'', his grudge against Toby is reflected in the final film. Toby plays one of Goldenface's hostages, who gets brutally killed, by being shot in the head. The film exaggerates his death, by showing the head of Toby's character ''explode'' on replay. Michael reveals that the scene was the most expensive in the film, but justifies the cost by saying it was "integral to the story". Moments later, Michael Scarn unnecessarily reveals that the hostage was a [[AssholeVictim wanted "Animal Rapist"]].

Ron The Death Eater is a fandom trend to exaggerate the flaws of a heroic character.
