History PlayingWith / PerfectPacifistPeople

* '''Inverted''': The Tropevians are a society of {{Blood Knight}}s.

* '''Double Subverted''': Tropevia's automated defense system zaps intruders with a HypnoRay that turns them into PerfectPacifistPeople, who then join the Tropevians.

* '''Invoked''': Bob, a Tropevian, decided to make the race everlasting, so after leading countless wars, getting the needed methods, he recreated the Tropevians so that they would "repay" the galaxy by fighting no one and having great technology, putting the normal Tropevians into hibernation and preparing altered, and more "perfect" ones to replace them.

** Tropevians operate on a mix of GoodIsNotNice and downplayed OmniscientMoralityLicense that justifies [[RightlySelfRighteous their haughty yet accurate view of things]], while [[PetTheDog still helping more primitive tribes]] reaching their level of enlightenment.

* '''Exaggerated''': The Tropevians will have a HeroicBSOD if they do anything even ''remotely'' harmful... like cutting one's hair.

* '''Parodied''': The Tropevians are so perfect and pacifistic that they're unfailingly polite to the brutal barbarians who attack them even as the barbarians are slaughtering them.

** Tropevia people are actually one half of a race that suffers BizarreSexualDimorphism. That is the "female" half pose as a perfect and technologically advanced society, the "male" half shows up as the warmongering, death dealing scourge of the galaxy. While their victims are are trying to explain their problem to the apparently pacifistic race who could help them, the "males" go in while their victim is still defenseless, steal technology, research, and rare materials to make the "females" look better to their next victim and repeat the process.

** The Tropevians are offensively self-righteous and dismissive of 'lesser beings' who have not achieved the perfect, pacifistic state that they enjoy. Many note that they are still willing to allow 'lesser' species to die in their defence, however.

* '''Exploited''': Tropevia people are actually one half of a race that suffers BizarreSexualDimorphism. That is the "female" half pose as a perfect and technologically advanced society, the "male" half shows up as the warmongering, death dealing scourge of the galaxy. While their victims are are trying to explain their problem to the apparently pacifistic race who could help them, the "males" go in while their victim is still defenseless, steal technology, research, and rare materials to make the "females" look better to their next victim and repeat the process.

* '''Played For Drama''': The Tropevians are shown to be very cruel and cold in their pacifism. Many races, which could be peaceful if given the means, would be driven to war by the Tropevians because they believe that only they are worthy of being pacifists, and that other races would just screw it up. When it's pointed out to them that other races being pacifistic would be a good thing for them, they insist that their society would be "flawed" and only Tropevians can be "perfect" pacifists.

** The Tropevians are so horrified by violence that they don't know what to do when an evil GallacticConqueror shows up. Finally one of them comes up with the idea of making contact with the [[HumansAreWarriors race most accustomed to violence.]]

* '''Implied''': Tropevians are shown to be one of the alien contacts for the humans, often being called with science and nature questions. Although it's never said, their interacts always show that the Tropevians never really focus on violence.

** Alternatively, the majority of the populace is ActualPacifist, but as anyone who commits violent crime or who tries to stage a violent takeover will find out, the police and/or defense forces contain the TechnicalPacifist, the MartialPacifist, and people willing to PayEvilUntoEvil, and the prison system or facing a defensive force isn't exactly a cakewalk of true happiness and peace and love.

* '''Downplayed''': Tropevia doesn't have any qualms about hurting people, it's why it's so peaceful, but unless they have proof the victim is deserving they refuse to.

* '''Reconstructed''': Part of the reason the Tropevians are so unfailingly pacifistic now is because of their lingering shame at the atrocities their warlike ancestors caused.

* '''Downplayed''': ???

** Alternatively: Since the Tropevians are so pacifistic, it doesn't take long before the other, less pacifistic, nations attempts to conquer their society. The Tropevians realize that they must either throw away their pacifism in order to survive or face conquering or, at worst, extinction.
* '''Reconstructed''': Part of the reason the Tropevians are so unfailingly pacifistic now is because of their lingering shame at the atrocities their warlike ancestors caused.
