History SkewedPriorities / Webcomics

* Let's just say that ''Webcomic/{{Freefall}}'''s Mr. Kornada disagrees with other cast members [[http://freefall.purrsia.com/ff400/fv00328.htm about what's urgent]].

'''Elan:''' We won't leave TWO of our own behind again!

-->''"I've used driftwood & detritus to construct crude sonar torpedoes & wire guided harpoons. Now to build a raft! [[LampshadeHanging My priorities may need work.]]"''
-->-- from [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/fun/twitter_othar_01.php Twitter log]] of '''Othar Tryggvassen''', the GentlemanAdventurer.

* ''Webcomic/ScarletLady'': The titular character ([[WesternAnimation/MiraculousLadybug Chloé Bourgeois]]'s hero identity after stealing the Ladybug Miraculous from Marinette) has some serious issues with this one.

** When Marinette calls her out in "Origins, Part 2", Chloé gets angry... because Marinette called her ponytail "stupid".

*** When Chat Noir (actually Copycat) steals a painting and kidnaps Marinette, Chloé assumes that Chat Noir is acting out because he's jealous.

** In "The Pharaoh", when Tikki attempts to get her to take Sabrina to an outing to the Louvre Museum, Chloé latches onto something Tikki said and believes there's a dedicated Ladybug exhibit, ditching Sabrina in the process.

*** When Sabrina blue-screens after Chloé has Sabrina's father fired (because he wouldn't illegally search Marinette's bag in search of Chloé's bracelet), all Chloé cares about is to demand her to surrender her bag to be searched.

** In "The Gamer", she doesn't care at all about the game tournament, not even when Adrien is chosen as one of the school representatives... until she learns ''Marinette'' is the other representative. [[spoiler:She attempts to [[MurderTheHypotenuse get Marinette killed by the Akuma.]]
** When Marinette reveals she's recording her slacking off in the middle of an Akuma attack, she prioritizes yelling at Marinette for "threatening the hero of Paris" over the Akuma [[spoiler:which promptly tags her in the back]].

** In "Captain Hardrock", she's unconcerned about the Akuma's threat to attack a concert her father is attending, only to panic when Tikki reminds her that XY is at the same concert.
** In "Animan", when Chat Noir tells Nadja that he's become happier because he now has a reliable partner in the form of Marigold (blatantly implying that Scarlet Lady is useless), Chloé gets angry because Chat Noir and Marigold did an interview without her.

* Happens several times in ''Webcomic/LoadingArtist'', e.g. in [[http://www.loadingartist.com/comic/emergency-service/ Emergency Service]] and [[http://www.loadingartist.com/comic/internet-time/ Internet Time]]. Or [[http://www.loadingartist.com/comic/bored-at-sea/ Keep playing Tic Tac Toe]] while your rubber raft looses air.

** A tribe of orcs kidnap Lien the paladin and steal Elan's puppet, Banjo the Clown. Elan considers retrieving Banjo to be the higher priority.

* In ''Webcomic/LatchkeyKingdom'', the reward for killing the gigantic level-60 Titan that forced a dungeon to be condemned is less than the reward for finding a lost cat, and less than the cost of replacing the how-to guide for killing it.

** Later, Kornada is presented with the Trolley Problem as part of a psychological evaluation. He picks the route colliding with fewer people, on the basis that it would damage the ''trolley'' less.

*** Explained later, The Will of Magic has ''no perception'' of mortals beyond magic use and certain emotional extremes; it doesn't understand ''why'' people would stop using magic (magic-users ''dying''), just that they ''would''.

*** Explained later, The Will of Magic has ''no perception'' of mortals or their values beyond magic use and certain emotional extremes; it doesn't understand ''why'' people would stop using magic (magic-users ''dying''), just that they ''would''.

** Later, [[SentientCosmicForce The Will Of Magic]] has this to say about why a scenario where anybody trying to cast a spell caused "massive storms of chaos magic". (somewhat justified, The Will of Magic has ''no'' understanding of mortals or their values beyond emotional extremes)

** [[https://onegianthand.com/post/152698587201/president-trump-gives-his-first-state-of-the-union President Donald Trump]] uses up the entire science budget in making deer racist to Mexicans when an asteroid head towards Earth. As soon as Trump introduces Gerald the Prejudiced Deer, the asteroid destroys the Earth.

** Nale is accused of this by Tarquin; specifically, Nale's [[{{Pride}} over-inflated opinion of himself]] means he thinks letting everyone know that he has triumphed is more important that the triumph itself, causing him to jeopardise several plans where success hinged on him being able to keep a low profile.

** [[http://xkcd.com/599/ As the Apocalypse unfolds around]] him, Cueball's first priority is to get himself the [[SixDegreesOfKevinBacon Erdos number]] of 1. Several other mathematicians also share this priority, to the point of needing to form a line. And the AltText suggests that he wants to take it further.

** In [[https://xkcd.com/276/ Fixed Width]], after a night of passion Rob chooses to send Emily a message saying "definitely just sex" instead of "I love you" because the line lengths in their conversation have been syncing perfectly up to that point, and he doesn't want to spoil the pattern.

* [[https://onegianthand.com/post/161259541411/spider-man In this One Giant Hand comic]], Spider-Man is told that a hospital is on fire. Since Uncle Ben told him that nothing in life is more important than porn, Spider-Man asks if there's porn at the hospital. When told no, he refuses to help with the fire.

** The Principal of Tedd and Elliot's school thinks murals are more important than, say... [[http://egscomics.com/?date=2002-02-08 working fire sprinklers.]]

* ''Webcomic/StandStillStaySilent'': When encountering a PlagueZombie that can produce an AcidAttack, cast PrettyBoy Emil is more worried about the acid getting on his face than it reaching his vital organs.

* ''Webcomic/TheLastDaysOfFOXHOUND'': At one point security on the US-Mexican border has no problem with a hulking Inuit bringing a tank across the border, as long as it doesn't have any Mexicans in it.
