* ''WesternAnimation/{{The Hunchback of Notre Dame|Disney}}'': The reason Frollo was made a CompleteMonster was that Disney was trying to ''avoid'' this trope (it had happened so many times before). Didn't work. Some even have a disturbing habit of justifying his, a massive hypocrite's, actions.

* ''Webcomic/FiveNightsAtFreddysLostSouls'': Even after [[spoiler: Golden Freddy]] snaps and grows violent toward the humans, specifically Kelly, readers still found themselves sympathizing with him more than the aforementioned Kelly. In fact, many a comment ''cheered'' for [[spoiler: Golden Freddy]] when he implied he would break Kelly's arm, mostly due to Kelly being TheScrappy and Unintentionally Unsympathetic, while he himself had shown understandable reasons for detesting her so much.

Anyone who "justified" Frollo's action is bad as excusing the bullies and abusers that Elfen Lied's Lucy has murdered. They're as bad as Frollo is.

* ''Series/HowIMetYourMother'': Barney apparently applies this trope to the majority of movies he's seen. He gets called out on rooting for Johnny in ''Film/TheKarateKid'', and the rest of the group bring up a plethora of movies, all of which he roots for the villain in them, including Principal Vernon in ''Film/TheBreakfastClub'', Hans in ''Film/DieHard'', and the actual [[Franchise/StarWars Empire]]. Barney also refuses to accept that the characters he roots for are villains.

* In ''ComicStrip/CalvinAndHobbes'', one night when Calvin's dad is reading him a bedtime story; Calvin requested a retelling of ''Little Red Riding Hood'' where the Big Bad Wolf succeeds in eating her. When Calvin's dad suggests ''Hansel and Gretel'', Calvin says he wants the witch to eat them and then have the wolf eat the witch. Another strip had him rewrite ''Goldilocks and the Three Bears'' except the bears were tigers and they eat Goldilocks. His dad was disturbed by it.

* In the North Korean propaganda-fest that is ''Animation/SquirrelAndHedgehog'' (although the animation was done by a foreign company, probably Chinese), the creators went a little too far in making the Americans (as SavageWolves no less) badass. Just... [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mNR4kR1uC-w take a look]]. A Website/YouTube commenter summed it up pretty well:

* This trope is present to an extent in the infamous "X Gets Grounded" videos made with Website/GoAnimate. No one will really be surprised if you say that you wish that WesternAnimation/{{Caillou}}, [[WesternAnimation/DoraTheExplorer Dora]], or the other kids would actually ''win'' for once instead of being grounded so much. Helping their case is the fact that the [[DesignatedHero parent]] [[UnintentionallyUnsympathetic characters]] are ludicrously strict at best, AxCrazy [[AbusiveParents abusive]] sociopaths at worst who ground, torture, or even kill them [[DisproportionateRetribution for the slightest]] [[FelonyMisdemeanor of offenses]] [[NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished or even for doing something good or heroic]]. Even the non-ironic, [[PeripheryHatedom baby-show-hating]] fanbase [[EveryoneHasStandards often shows sympathy for them]] when the aforementioned parent characters go too far.

* ''WesternAnimation/Wish2023'': There is no shortage of viewers who, [[DracoInLeatherPants whether they admit to his faults or not]], believe Magnifico's rule is what is best for the kingdom of Rosas and that Asha should have left well enough alone. It's established at the beginning that people are safe from the dangers of the outside world under his watch, they are largely happy with the state of things given how prosperous the kingdom is, and (despite his selfish reasons for picking some of them) Magnifico grants the heart's desire of as many as fourteen people per year -- not to mention that they '''willingly''' gave up their wishes to him with full knowledge they would forget the wish, and that the odds of "winning" were always going to be low given the city's large population. With things going so well and the possibility that it could go all downhill without him, many root for Magnifico to maintain the status quo he worked hard to build in the first place, not helped by the fact that his JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope into becoming a would-be SorcerousOverlord only happens ''after'' Asha's actions cause Star to materialize, making him desperate to protect his power.
