* HealItWithFire: More specifically, the "realistic" variants involving cauterization of wounds to rid them of infection or staunch bleeding. Though it was seen as an actual treatment for millennia, modern medical consensus is that cauterization is generally only worthwhile if the person is heavily bleeding, there are no other options, and better care is on the way. Otherwise, it's proven to actually ''increase'' infection risk, apart from the issues of taking a serious wound and sticking a heavy-duty burn on top of it (or, in particularly nasty cases, ''inside'' of it). Many depictions of cauterization in media [[WorstAid would likely have killed the person enduring the treatment]], or at the very least done far more damage long-term than whatever wound they were trying to disinfect.

* PlayingPossum: Playing dead works against some bears (i.e. Grizzly bears), but not for others. For example, black bears will invariably attempt to attack a prey even if the latter is acting motionless. In general, it's very important to know what wild animal you're dealing with so you can think of a way to avoid being killed. Last, but ''far from least'', attempting this against a human is considered a war crime, as it's been done in the past to fool and kill enemy soldiers; so unless you're doing it for self-defense and survival against an actual criminal, you'll be arrested.

Bear cubs may look cute and cuddly, but MamaBear isn't, and she will savagely attack whoever gets too close to her kids. Even {{Panda|ingToTheAudience}}s, pandas, who are largely herbivorous and not quite as aggressive as other species, are still very capable of badly mauling people.

* AllMenArePerverts: Makes it harder for men to get help or support in the event of a rape, and is used by rapists/rape apologists to say that it's natural (i.e. that a man has "needs," or can't help it), or that the victim was "asking for it" or provoking the rapist in some way.
* AllWomenAreLustful: Closely related to the above trope, this also excuses the willingness of some women to rape others, and the victimization of women by saying that [[NotIfTheyEnjoyedItRationalization "they enjoy it anyway"]].
* AlmostLethalWeapons: Tasers, tear gas/pepper spray, and bean-bag shot are explicitly marketed as "less-lethal" and not "non-lethal", since using them improperly or under the wrong conditions can make them very much lethal. Tasers specifically can kill with a shot to or near the heart (just like any electric shock to the heart) or make someone fall down and die by hitting their head on something. (Many electric-shock injuries are of this "indirect" kind; your defective power drill doesn't do you any significant damage, but when the shock causes you to leap off the ladder you're standing on...)
* AsLethalAsItNeedsToBe: The skills needed to not kill someone with a generally lethal weapon are beyond most people, especially in the heat of the moment.
* BabiesMakeEverythingBetter: While having children is known to brighten up many lives, such is expensive, time-consuming, and '''''NOT''''' a cure-all. Having a baby for any reason when you're not in a decent position to do so (with respect to your finances, relationship, and life in general) can severely fuck up both your life and that of the resulting child(ren).
* BearyFriendly: Needless to say, BearsAreBadNews is often more TruthInTelevision. Bears are incredibly dangerous animals that will brutally maim and kill any humans who do anything to [[UnstoppableRage make them angry]] (or occasionally, if the bear just feels [[ToServeMan hungry enough to try taking humans as food]]). Bear cubs may look cute and cuddly, but MamaBear isn't, and she will savagely attack whoever gets too close to her kids. Even {{Panda|ingToTheAudience}}s, who are largely herbivorous and not quite as aggressive as other species, are still very capable of badly mauling people.
* BearyFunny: Closely related to the trope above. While bears' appearance can be amusing, it's vital to give them a wide berth in real life.
* DeliberatelyNonLethalAttack: Weapons in RealLife, '''chief among them firearms''', are generally biased toward lethality, because they are either engineered to make it as easy to kill others as possible for the respective situation, or can vary in the exact damage they inflict, depending on both the surrounding conditions and dumb luck.
* DoubleStandard: Abuse is ''abuse'', rape is ''rape'', and violence is ''violence'', no matter whom it involves. This applies to the following:
** DoubleStandardAbuseFemaleOnMale
** DoubleStandardRapeFemaleOnFemale
** DoubleStandardRapeFemaleOnMale
** DoubleStandardRapeMaleOnMale
** DoubleStandardViolenceChildOnAdult
* EvilIsCool: Most real-life violent criminals tend to act like {{Dirty Coward}}s by threatening to shoot someone unless they do what they say, which is not a very stylish situation. That victim could possibly be you, who at best just lost valuable possessions or was robbed blind, or at worst, was severely injured or lost a very close person to criminal violence.
* EvilIsEasy: Breaching criminal laws is a ''very bad idea'' in RealLife, and even nonviolent crimes such as theft/fraud can carry a risk of arrest or being caught. [[BeingEvilSucks Such can escalate to violent retaliation from both police and from people defending their right to live or their possessions from you. Furthermore, alienating yourself from others and being stigmatized as untrustworthy/criminal]] puts you at a long-term risk of UsefulNotes/{{depression}}, regardless of whether or not you can consciously feel lonely.
* KarmicRape: ''No one'' deserves rape regardless of who they are, what they've done/not done, etc. This trope makes it harder for people so [[UsefulNotes/VictimBlaming blamed for their own misfortune]] to get help or support. Also, although it's often treated as a source of dark humor due to sex offenders and other convicted criminals being viewed as [[AssholeVictim acceptable targets]] for PrisonRape, the vast majority of real-life prison rape victims are young, small, effeminate, passive in nature, and/or part of the LGBT community — especially poor qualities for public policy and social norms to bring such a cruel punishment on. This isn't even mentioning that most imprisonments are for non-violent drug offenses.
* MenActWomenAre: The idea that women deserve punishment for not being "beautiful" or "delicate" or "passive" enough ([[MyGirlIsNotASlut including sexually]]), or that their actions/inactions reflect on the men in their lives (and thus those men need to punish or dispose of them to restore their good name) leads to DomesticAbuse, bullying, SlutShaming, and HonorRelatedAbuse. It also puts pressure on men to act as leaders, even if they don't want to or aren't suited for it, and shames men for not doing so. This and many subtropes restrict people's freedom of gender expression.
* MenAreStrongWomenArePretty: Encourages both common genders to take extreme measures to achieve socially accepted levels of "strong" and "pretty" respectively, restricting freedom of gender expression.
* MenAreTough: Patriarchal standards are restrictive to men like they are to women, as said right above.
* MenDontCry: Belief that men shouldn't feel or express emotional pain makes it more difficult for them to reach out to others when in need of help.
* NonLethalWarfare: War [[WarIsHell is immensely dangerous]]. It kills people of all walks of life.
* PrisonRape: Rape is rape, no matter who it happens to, or where. And ''no one'' deserves it, nor will it correct their behavior. Although it's often treated as a source of dark humor due to sex offenders and other convicted criminals being viewed as [[AssholeVictim acceptable targets]], the vast majority of real-life prison rape victims are young, small, effeminate, passive in nature, and/or part of the LGBT community — especially poor qualities for public policy and social norms to bring such a cruel punishment on. This isn't even mentioning that most imprisonments are for non-violent drug offenses.
* ScienceIsWrong: Unless you want to be scammed, or risk your life with quackery, it's important to trust those who use the modern scientific method, and take their advice seriously. The two tropes below are closely related:
** ScienceIsBad (the false belief that scientific mindsets are callous, robotic, or evil)
** ScienceIsUseless (the false belief that sheer "hard work" or "intuition" trumps even the most stringent research)
* SmokingIsCool: The portrayal of smoking (along with ''too'' {{anvilicious}} ''anti-smoking'' messages, which run directly into ''becoming'' these tropes by [[StealthCigaretteCommercial turning tobacco into]] ForbiddenFruit) as cool have the unfortunate tendency to encourage young people to smoke and therefore take on all of the risks to life and health that tobacco smoking poses.
* SmokingIsGlamorous: Closely related to the above trope. Associating smoking with beauty or attractiveness also encourages young people to smoke, giving them serious health risks.
* WarIsGlorious: While war [[WarIsHell is known to kill people of all walks of life]], it's also said to have no winners, because it causes severe scarring of many bodies and minds.

* CoolPet: Keeping a pet bear, tiger, cobra, ape, etc., is often (not always) an extreme strain for both owner and pet, and exceedingly dangerous. Wild animals should not be in the private possession of individuals who do not understand that these creatures are incapable of ever being safely "domesticated".

* ILoveNuclearPower: Exposure to high-frequency waves of electromagnetic energy (i.e. gamma rays) cannot give you superpowers. Instead, you may likely suffer a painful death by cancer, radiation poisoning, or burn wounds (if injured by a nuclear explosion). The only noticeable mutations it can cause are [[BodyHorror horrific defects and disabilities]] to unborn fetuses.
