History WouldHurtAChild / WesternAnimation

* [[Characters/BigCityGreensChipWhistler Chip Whistler]] of ''WesternAnimation/BigCityGreens'' says in one episode he LOVES being mean to kids, most especially Cricket Green. He "decimates" him with tomatoes when he tried to call a truce, violently attacks him and Tilly together and steals their Farm Con passes, has a bouncer hold him off from trying to stop him from taking over Big Coffee, and most especially after Chip got banned from Big City, tried to ''kill Cricket with his helicopter!''

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Amphibia}}'': [[Characters/AmphibiaKingAndrias King Andrias]] [[spoiler: didn't hesitate with dropping Sprig to his (presumed) death, with stabbing Marcy or ordering Anne's death; while his invasion of Los Angeles and Amphibia undoubtedly puts thousands of children at risk of getting hurt or worse]].

* Many of the various oddities in ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls'' don't seem to have a problem with harming or possibly killing Mabel and Dipper. [[Characters/GravityFallsBillCipher Bill Cipher]] especially goes out of his way to try and kill or harm the two if the need arises (or he feels like being a dick), and [[spoiler: vaporized Time Baby when the latter tried to stop his TakeOverTheWorld scheme]]. Hell, he has ''three'' quotes on the Quotes page from ''one'' chase scene alone!

* Roger of ''WesternAnimation/AmericanDad'' would ''drown'' a child (an ''infant'', actually). [[DisproportionateRetribution For accidentally breaking a leg off of one of his collection of crystal spiders]]. He also hates Steve after he ruins his birthday.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Amphibia}}'': King Andrias [[spoiler: didn't hesitate with dropping Sprig to his (presumed) death, with stabbing Marcy or ordering Anne's death; while his invasion of Los Angeles and Amphibia undoubtedly puts thousands of children at risk of getting hurt or worse]].

** Silco would do ''[[TheUnfettered anything]]'' in the name of transforming the oppressed {{Undercity}} into the free nation of Zaun, including threatening and actually trying to kill children.

** Even the heroes get into it. [[spoiler: After Jayce accidentally kills a kid in the Shimmer factory, Vi coldly states that he knew what he was getting into and wants to keep attacking the factories against Jayce's wishes, uncaring of any more children being hurt as collateral damage. At the same time, she is very much mournful over the boy's death and states there would only be more dead children if they did nothing.]]

** The Joker displays this at first in the episode "Be A Clown", where he doesn't seem to care one way or the other if a party full of children gets blown up at the end of the first act; but in the ''Return of the Joker'' movie [[spoiler:he brainwashes Robin through horrific psychological and physical torture.]]

* Chip Whistler of ''WesternAnimation/BigCityGreens'' says in one episode he LOVES being mean to kids, most especially Cricket Green. He "decimates" him with tomatoes when he tried to call a truce, violently attacks him and Tilly together and steals their Farm Con passes, has a bouncer hold him off from trying to stop him from taking over Big Coffee, and most especially after Chip got banned from Big City, tried to ''kill Cricket with his helicopter!''

** Viren wanted to kill the princes of Katolis because he thought they would be too weak and stupid to rule the way he would in letting humans take all the resources they want, also kill prince of Xadia Azymondias because he thought he would be biologically programmed to hate humans and will kill all of them for killing his dad whom was just defending himself and his son. Viren also asked his children to kill the princes and let each other die if they have to complete the mission. Viren also wanted to use Soren as a guinea pig for a zombie experiment to enhance his army without asking his conscent

* ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'': The {{flanderiz|ation}}ed Peter Griffin from the later seasons frequently attacks and occasionally murders people, and children are no exception. He punched out a child because he felt he had to hit someone, blew up a children's hospital (although that ''was'' an accident, but still), killed his own infant son Peter Jr. when he couldn't get him to stop crying, and threw his toddler son Stewie (who was in a coma with heavily infected wounds) under his wife's car so it would look like an accident.

** In ''The Beast with a Billion Backs'' the Robot Devil asks Bender for his first-born child in exchange for an army. Bender punts the kid into a vat of lava with a cheery "Here ya go!".

* Many of the various oddities in ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls'' don't seem to have a problem with harming or possibly killing Mabel and Dipper. Bill Cipher especially goes out of his way to try and kill or harm the two if the need arises (or he feels like being a dick), and [[spoiler: vaporized Time Baby when the latter tried to stop his TakeOverTheWorld scheme]]. Hell, he has ''three'' quotes on the Quotes page from ''one'' chase scene alone!

* ''WesternAnimation/HarleyQuinn2019'': Harley usually doesn't like killing "normies", but she nearly plays it straight with Robin. After the Joker sends a condescending message to Harley about her "rivalry" with Robin, Harley decides that she's going to kill Robin to make it stop boasting that she'd smash his head like a melon. Ivy believes she is capable of doing it, but that doing so will only validate everyone's belief that Robin is her nemesis, while the rest of her crew thinks that she would just be crossing the line.

* ''WesternAnimation/InvaderZim'': Zim and Dib may be the same height, but Zim is [[ReallySevenHundredYearsOld an adult Irken]] who underwent years of military training before coming to Earth. Dib, on the other hand, is in elementary school. Even though he's a science prodigy with access to [[MadScientist his father's]] equipment, he is by no means Zim's equal -- but this doesn't stop Zim from trying to destroy him. Tak's ship spells out the differences between the two in the second issue of the comic:

* [[BigBad Hawk Moth]] of ''WesternAnimation/MiraculousLadybug'' not only would hurt children, [[BrainwashedAndCrazy but brainwash them as well]]. Instead of fighting the heroes on his own, he finds normal people who are feeling negative emotions and turns them into supervillains under his command to do his bidding. Not only does he always tries to kill the main two teenage heroes Ladybug and Chat Noir [[spoiler:{the latter of whom is ''[[ArchnemesisDad his son]]'')]], he has no problem using teenagers, children, and even ''a baby'' as his brainwashed servants and sending them to fight the heroes. Those servants are often tasked to cause wanton destruction and target everyone including children.

*** Queen Chrysalis wants to control every stallion, mare, and ''foal'', and King Sombra seems willing to snack on Spike. Being the TagalongKid isn't easy.
*** In "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS5E26TheCutieRemarkPart2 The Cutie Re-Mark, Part 2]]", Starlight Glimmer was willing to zap filly Rainbow Dash out of the sky with a magical blast, in order to prevent her from performing her first Sonic Rainboom.

*** In "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS4E26TwilightsKingdomPart2 Twilight's Kingdom, Part 2]]", Tirek has no problem holding Spike hostage.

** Belos himself fights Luz in the season 1 finale and is implied to be physically abusive towards his nephew. In "Hollow Mind" [[spoiler:he tries to kill Luz and Hunter once both outlived their usefulness. Also, given that he plans on wiping out all witches and demons on the Day of Unity, that would undoubtedly include all the children present on the Boiling Isles. This gets disturbing proven in "Labyrinth Runners", where his Coven soldiers, led by the illusionist head Graye, try to trick the Hexside students into receiving sigils, which would [[FinalSolution kill every last one of them]] through the draining spell]].

** Adult-on-child violence is rare... except for instances where Homer chokes Bart (usually when Bart says something he shouldn't and it gets Homer in trouble). The strangulation issue with Homer is the most common instance of this trope, but Bart Simpson in general seems to have this effect on many adults in the show.

** In the PilotMovie, Count Dooku attempts to murder Jabba the Hutt's son Rotta as part of a FrameUp against the Jedi. The Hutts might be AlwaysChaoticEvil but he was still a ''baby''.
** General Grievous shows on multiple occasions that he ''delights'' in killing Jedi at any age, and fantasizes about slaughtering the younglings in the temple on Coruscant. In [[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS1E7DuelOfTheDroids "Duel of the Droids"]] he tries to strangle Ahsoka to death while threatening her with her own lightsaber and in [[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS1E10LairOfGrievous "Lair of Grievous"]] Kit Fisto and Nahdar Vebb discover among the trophies he keeps from his victims is a display table full of padawan braids.
** In the episode [[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS2E3ChildrenOfTheForce "Children of the Force"]], Darth Sidious is perfectly fine with performing potentially lethal experiments on ''infants''. Cad Bane, who kidnapped the infants for Sidious, didn't really care what happened to them, so long as he was paid.

** In [[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS4E22Revenge "Revenge"]], [[spoiler: Darth Maul butchered dozens of innocent people, including several young children, to attract Obi-Wan's attention]].

* ''WesternAnimation/BatmanBeyond'':
** In "[[Recap/BatmanBeyondS1E1E2Rebirth Rebirth]]", when Derek Powers finds out that Warren [=McGinnis=]' teenage son, Terry, still has a file about his secret nerve gas, he plans to murder him to cover it up.
** In "[[Recap/BatmanBeyondE16TheLastResort The Last Resort]]", David Wheeler psychologically tortures teenagers in his camp and even sends some to an isolation room called ISO as a punishment, which deprives them of their sight and sound.

* Odalia, Amity's [[AbusiveParents abusive]] ControlFreak of a mom, was willing to kill Luz with the Abomaton 2.0 soldier she was presenting to her investors just so she doesn't fulfil her end of the deal of letting the human and her friends back into Hexside. In "Clouds on the Horizon", Odalia even went as far as to keep Alador in place by threatening to have their kids take part in the family business and has no problem turning in Luz to Belos since he deemed her a "wanted criminal" along with the other Owl House residents.
