* ''[[ModernWarfare Modern Warfare 2]]'' has a few different categories of this, the most obvious being a large part of the player-base that at best [[TruffautWasRight doesn't notice the series has an anti-war message]] and at worst takes a ''positive'' view of war because of it. The worst are, by far, the players who ''[[spoiler:root for General Shepherd.]]'' It's largely because the game's finale involves him both kicking ass in a crazy action-scene, as well as being where he [[MotiveRant explains his motivation and ultimate goal,]] both of which are easy to sympathize with. They are ''not,'' however, justification for [[spoiler:a senior officer ''killing his own men in cold blood'' so that they won't discover he's ''manipulated another country to invade the United States,'' specifically with the goal of killing as many civilians as possible.]]

** Fans preference for Dark Knight Cecil over Paladin Cecil probably has less to do with stuff like that and more to do with the fact that he looked ''[[EvilIsCool so much cooler]]'' as a Dark Knight.

** Of course, the real issue is just ''how'' evil Cerberus is. Are they Complete Monsters to a man, doing everything ForTheEvulz? Are they Well Intentioned Extremists, doing what they do because they believe it's the only way for humanity to survive in the galaxy? Or is it a mix of both?

* In ''MassEffect'', Cerberus is on the dark side of [[BlackAndGrayMorality morally gray]]. They're essentially a well-funded KnightTemplar terrorist organization out to ensure that humanity dominates the galaxy -- often resorting to cruel biological experiments on unwilling human test subjects and, in one case, the cold-blooded murder of an Alliance admiral who tracked down one of their hideouts. In the sequel, they bring the protagonist BackFromTheDead and provide him/her with a CoolShip to investigate the abduction of human colonists while the established Alliance and Citadel governments do little to assist -- but it's made perfectly clear that they're using you to further their own agenda, and their past atrocities do not go unmentioned. This has not stopped many players from wondering what everyone has against Cerberus. As with ''[[{{Film.Avatar}} Avatar]]'''s Col. Quaritch, however, many people seem to actually ''agree'' with the "secure-human-dominance-at-any-cost" mindset, so this is not entirely surprising.

* Several people have said that they'd rather play the ShallowParody of ''MarioKart'' used in [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jPqRue51GZ8 the commercial]] for ''VideoGame/Blur'' rather then the actual game. Apparently the game helped sales for Mario Kart too.

**** This article on Objectivism in Bioshock uses Ken Levine's thought processes on the subject. He specifically chose Objectivism because he [[http://kotaku.com/354717/no-gods-or-kings-objectivism-in-bioshock saw Ayn Rand as "Dr. Doom."]] While he is sympathetic to Rand's philosophy, he was specifically examining what happens when an idea is taken to its extreme. He specifically refers to Ryan as non-hypocritical for his objectivism but a complete failure for taking it to its logical conclusion. So, basically, TakeThatUs all up in that piece.

* The Tank in the ''Left4Dead'' series is heavily misinterpreted by players as a super zombie that can decimate all the survivors in a few seconds in VS mode. While this can be the case if the survivor team is extremely bad or if the Tank player is lucky with the cars or other large objects they can punt over to the survivors, the Tank by itself is barely a game ender and it needs the support of the other special infected players in order to keep the survivors distracted. Despite this, many players are quick to point out how much the player controlling the Tank sucks if he fails to incapacitate or kill any of the survivors.

* Dr. Breen in ''HalfLife'' has his fans who think he did the right thing by assuring the survival of humanity by surrendering, except there are hints that he staged the entire Resonance Cascade for personal gain, and he is the one who insisted on the highly specific test requirements. Some of his comments in ''2'' as you [[spoiler: climb up the Citadel]] are actually quite reasonable, so it is easy to see how this gets started. [[spoiler: Of course he's close to a CardCarryingVillian almost, and mind controls the populace with tainted water and by all accounts is still playing the fate of humanity for his own personal stake in the Combine empire]].

* Some fans of ''FinalFantasyIV'' prefer Cecil as a Dark Knight and wish he stayed that way instead of becoming a Paladin. First off, statistically, Dark Knight Cecil is inferior to Paladin Cecil in every way. Second, Cecil is no more badass as a Dark Knight (in fact, it's when he becomes a Paladin when he begins to gain confidence and retaliating against the enemy.) Third, EvilIsCool and DracoInLeatherPants don't even apply here since ''Cecil was never evil in the first place'', just misguided. Finally, him staying as a Dark Knight is [[MisaimedFandom missing the point]] of the game; Cecil is TheAtoner, ''the whole point'' is for him to change from what he was in his past and become a better person. This is not helped by ''DissidiaFinalFantasy'', in which Cecil wields both classes cheerfully, without much regard to the fact that in Final Fantasy IV, Cecil hated being a Dark Knight and it was portrayed as a self-destructive path that led to misery and pain.

* ''FinalFantasyTacticsAdvance'' is HUGE with this trope due to Marche's actions and motivations in the game. He searches for a way to go back home to the real world and finds out the only way he could do it is convincing his friends to come home with him while abandoning everything that made their lives perfect in the fantasy world since they were using the said fantasy world to escape from their problems instead of facing them (Mewt is a prince and is no longer bullied, Ritz's hair is now naturally red, and Marche's brother, Donned, can actually walk when he wasn't able to back home). Many people view Marche as a complete villain for "destroying" a dream world (since that world stops existing when Marche and his friends all wish to go home) and making his brother become crippled again. Most people ignore that Donned accepted the fact that he can't walk again when he goes back home, Rtiz knowing that she would have to return home eventually and when she does go back, she accepts her natural white hair (which makes her mother happy to see her daughter be happy), and Mewt standing up to the bullies that bothered him in the beginning of the game. This is most likely the reason why ''FinalFantasyTacticsA2'' made the main plot more simplified in order to avoid a controversial story.
