History Webcomic / DoesNotPlayWellWithOthers

* DarkAndTroubledPast: To varying degrees, mostly played for laughs. Naga is a constant disappointment to her family. Francesca's mother is a "dance naked under the moon" style Wiccan, with such charming parenting tactics as sleeping with her daughter's first boyfriend to make sure he knew what he was doing (which Francesca walked in on). Seth is an orphan elf raised by Jews who has been persecuted for being an elf, being Jewish, and being gay ([[{{Elfeminate}} which he's not]]). Nikki became a vampire after her mother died of breast cancer. Craig is a superhero with an abusive father who used mind-control pheromones to make the rest of the world see him as a selfless hero, and spent his formative years on the other side of the galaxy fighting various evil overlords. Craig's sister, though not seen, has it worse, as until their father sacrificed himself to save the world, her boyfriends tended to disappear under mysterious circumstances. Janis hasn't gone into much detail, but her parents are conspicuously absent and she's missing an arm, not to mention the times she's muttered about not being able to go to school as a child. For added humor, the one with the worst past by far is a random member of Nikki's blood stable, who tells a story about how her stepfather tried to rape her and she and her little sister had to prostitute themselves to survive.

-->'''Janis:''' Okay, you know what? Fuck you, world! [[GenreSavvy I know where this is going!]] [[TheDogBitesBack This]] is supposed to be some kind of ironic ''morality'' [[AnAesop lesson]] about how I should be nicer to a glorified ''[[SexBot fuck toaster]]''! Well, ''tough shit! I refuse to learn anything!''

* VampiresAreRight: Averted with Jian, [[http://www.doesnotplaywellwithothers.com/comic/pwc-0346 who never developed the knack for making successful long-term investments.]]

* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: Inverted. Power and Prejudice are politically ''correct'' villains. [[http://www.doesnotplaywellwithothers.com/comic/pwc-0335 Craig finds that even more annoying than the straight example.]]

** Power and Prejudice ("together we are Bigotry!") parodies this trope. In theory, their schtick is [[PayEvilUntoEvil give the privileged majority a taste of the suffering endured by marginalised groups.]] However, since they don't have any powers or fighting skills whatsoever, their extremism is limited to going out on the streets and yelling mean slogans at people.

* WellIntentionedExtremist: Tekmage's actual ideology seem to be nothing more sinister than mainstream American liberalism. It's just that she pursues it by means of [[KillSat killer satellites]] and mind control rays...

* SceneryCensor: The original filler comics from ''ErrantStory'' used this and lampshaded it. Later strips avert it.

** A walking Tumblr SJW stereotype [[PlayingTheVictimCard plays a literal victim card]] [[http://www.doesnotplaywellwithothers.com/comic/pwc-0229 here]]. She later shows up as the superhero [[http://www.doesnotplaywellwithothers.com/comic/pwc-0269 Princess Badass]], still playing the victim [[CrocodileTears by using VapoRub to make herself cry]], [[FalseRapeAccusation and screaming "rape"]] after it's clear Tekmage [[WouldHitAGirl isn't going to hold back when fighting a woman]], which ends up attracting a literal white knight to the scene.

* WhiteKnighting: Knight Light is a literal white knight who showed up to rescue a woman... but he actually just based his outfit on [[VideoGame/DarkSouls Solaire]]. It's just a coincidence that this ''particular'' person he showed up to rescue happened to be a woman. On the other hand, he ''was'' apparently hoping to [[RescueRomance get a date out of rescuing her.]]

* AllWomenAreLustful: The female characters are every bit as gross and horny as [[the ImAManICantHelpIt male ones.]] In fact, [[NiceJewishBoy Seth]] is just about the only character, male or female, who ''isn't'' interested in hitting AnythingThatMoves.
