** ''VideoGame/FireEmblemRadiantDawn'' has [[spoiler:Oliver]], a FatBastard villain from the previous game who is bizarrely recruitable in this one; he only joins the army due to his extreme BlueAndOrangeMorality over "beauty". Ike outright demands he rejoin the enemy, and most if not all of his generic Support lines have the other character tell him to stay away from them. Even the endgame bosses express extreme confusion at him being in the party, with TheHeavy even saying that him being there is a sign that the world is doomed.

*** Excellus from the same game also counts on the villainous side. All of the other villains realize he's nothing but a [[SmugSnake weak, cowardly slimeball]] who's only in it for himself, can't do much besides manipulating others into doing his dirty work for him, and thinks his manipulations make him a brilliant chessmaster when in reality he's just another pawn who is even more easily manipulated. None of them hesitate to mock him to his face and tell him their side wouldn't really be missing anything without him, and Walhart even reveals, almost casually, that he's known all along that Excellus has his own agenda and would stab him in the back the minute it was convenient, but kept him around anyway because he knows he's too weak and pathetic to actually pull it off, and because he finds him so sad that it's amusing.

*** The reception [[spoiler:Majorita]] receives upon joining the rebels during the post-game makes Axel's treatment in ''4'' look like he was welcomed with open arms. The ''only'' reason they stick around is that [[spoiler:she's literally ''forced'' by her curse to grant all of Usalia's wishes, something neither girl is particularly thrilled about]].

** Played straight and subverted when it comes to Johnny Cage. His snarky, sarcastic, pompous attitude riles on his allies, in ''VideoGame/MortalKombat9'' and it continues into the sequels. In ''VideoGame/MortalKombatX'', he has undergone character development through the TimeSkip between the games, turning him into a CoolOldGuy who mentors and watches over the next generation of heroes. However, just about every one of Earthrealm's veteran kombatants still find him annoying and makes it clear in pre-match dialogues. The list includes his ex-wife Sonya, the retired 'consultant' Jax Briggs, and the serious-minded Scorpion and Sub-Zero. This also includes Raiden himself, who ostensibly chose Johnny as Earthrealm's Champion after the events of ''9''. Even fellow DeadpanSnarker Kenshi can't stand Johnny's acting. It's taken to its logical extreme in ''11'', where ([[IHatePastMe future]]) Johnny Cage joins the list of people who can't stand Johnny Cage. On the other hand, he gets along quite well with the younger generation of Earthrealm heroes (including his DaddysGirl daughter Cassie, Jax's daughter Jacqui, Kenshi's son Takeda, etc.), who prefer [[CoolOldGuy his firm but compassionate leadership]] to Sonya's greater strictness and demands for discipline. Mortal Kombat 11 has Jacqui and Cassie even mention how they prefers the older Johnny in present time compared to his ill discipline, snarky and sarcastic younger self during the pre-match dialogues. For the new timeline created by Liu Kang, this is subverted. While he does retain his ego, it's been tone down, and the fact that he is much supportive and considerate of those around him, makes him welcome among the other fighters...mostly.

* ''VideoGame/HouseParty'' gives us both Patrick and Frank. The former for being a drunken dudebro buffoon and NewMoney "C-E-Bro" of a dot-com company who's only there because he's Ashley and Madison's cousin, and the latter for being a [[TheTeetotaler teetotaling]] [[SmallNameBigEgo self-important]] [[TheBully bully]] who's sees it as his higher calling in life to steal everyone's alcohol and beat the man-shit out of anyone he even ''suspects'' of having booze. Naturally, you can play these two off of each other quite a bit, from sending Frank after Patrick as a distraction to steal things from the room he sits in like a vulture to sending Patrick and your BFF to kick the shit out of Frank and get everyone's alcohol back. Naturally, you can also become this yourself if you run around pissing everyone off.

* Absolutely nobody in Belobog likes Sampo Koski in ''VideoGame/HonkaiStarRail'', above ground or underground. At most, they'll tolerate his con-man antics if they absolutely need him, but he's generally considered a sketchy nuisance at best and an annoying wanted criminal at worst. The only people who do seem to like Sampo are some of the Underworld children because he'll play hide-and-seek with them.

* ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2'' has the [[{{Pyromaniac}} Pyro]]. The rest of its team (which consists of other 8 so-called mercenaries) are obviously scared of [[AmbiguousGender it]]. They're even hesitant to speak about it.

* In ''VideoGame/PuyoPuyo'', the rest of the cast fears Feli despite her [[DarkIsNotEvil technically being a good guy]] since she generally acts creepy and can become enraged at the drop of a hat. Only Lemres (to whom Feli is an [[SenpaiKohai underclassman]]) seems to be used to her attitude by now, and even then he has his moments of discomfort towards it.
