Line #13 PlayingWith/AllOfTheOtherReindeer


1	'''Basic Trope''': A superhero or similarly heroic character is subject to hatred, distrust, fear and resentment from the public at large despite performing largely altruistic actions.
2	* '''Straight''': Despite apprehending criminals, rescuing people in need and diffusing potential threats to the safety of the city, Amazing Girl is largely subject to ridicule and distrust from the general public, and numerous public voices call for her arrest or confinement.
3	* '''Exaggerated''':
4	** Despite saving the entire planet from complete annihilation several times over, Amazing Girl is routinely hunted by mobs of angry citizens and government death squads intent on nothing less than her complete extermination.
5	** Abridged description: HatedByAll.
6	** HeroWithBadPublicity
7	* '''Downplayed''': Amazing Girl is only distrusted by a large section of the public, who don't like her political opinions; everyone else is willing to judge her by her heroic actions.
8	* '''Justified''':
9	** Amazing Girl's genuinely altruistic, noble and heroic actions provoke inferiority in the minds of the public, who feel they can't measure up to her example. This inferiority expresses itself as jealousy and resentment.
10	** Prior to becoming a superhero, Amazing Girl was responsible for a major catastrophe resulting in the loss of many lives and the destruction of a large area, which she is attempting to redeem herself for.
11	** Amazing Girl's methods of performing her altruistic actions are themselves questionable and/or illegal.
12	** The public are being manipulated or brainwashed by a VillainWithGoodPublicity with a grudge against Amazing Girl.
13	** [[TokenHeroicOrc Amazing Girl]] is an involuntary member of a group that is known for being AlwaysChaoticEvil, and previous experiments in trusting one of them turned out badly.
14	** Amazing Girl is an AttentionWhore, and her attitude in front of the camera makes it impossible to like her.
15	** While Amazing Girl does save the day, her actions draw attention from ''something'' far worse and the people know it.
16	** Amazing Girl has always done the right thing for the citizens, even if what she did was [[ShootTheDog morally questionable]].
17	** Amazing Girl was formerly a villainess who has already turned her life around, but [[ReformedButRejected society distrusts her and refuses to let go of what she's done]].
18	** While Amazing Girl's motives are truly altruistic, she is also a very SmugSuper that constantly belittles the citizens on how useless and helpless they are. Essentially a super hero's version of a WhiteMansBurden.
19	** Amazing Girl is an [[IneffectualLoner anti-social loner]] who doesn't have time for small talk and citizens [[LonersAreFreaks took offense to her lifestyle]].
20	** Amazing Girl is an {{Idiot Hero}}ine whose stupidity grates on their nerves every now and then, [[LethallyStupid even in the most serious situations]].
21	** Amazing Girl lives in a WorldOfJerkass.
22	* '''Inverted''':
23	** InternalizedCategorism
24	** The public loves Amazing Girl, and never stop loving her no matter what she does.
25	** Alternatively, it's ''[[SmugSuper Amazing Girl]]'' who mocks the citizens, no matter how much assistance and affection they give her during her rough times.
26	** Destructo Girl is always loved by everyone even though she tried to destroy everything.
27	** Amazing Girl has HeroicSelfDeprecation and no matter how many times she saved lives and get thanks for it, she feels herself worthless for being TheHero.
28	** VillainWithGoodPublicity
29	* '''Subverted''': It turns out only a small fraction of the people have issues with her. The vast majority are grateful and throw a parade in her honor.
30	* '''Doubly Subverted''':
31	** ... [[AesopAmnesia only for the people to start jeering her again later on.]]
32	** After the parade, the majority go home and back to their lives, whereas the haters only become more intense.
33	* '''Parodied''': Amazing Girl can do absolutely nothing to please the people, whose criticisms and rejection of her take on increasingly and ludicrously petty dimensions.
34	* '''Zig Zagged''': The general public doesn't like Amazing Girl, but she continues to be a hero anyway. Dr. Evilton lampshades how she's fighting for a bunch of {{Ungrateful Bastard}}s who will never like or respect her, only for Amazing Girl to retort that she's not fighting for ''them'':
35	** She has [[{{Protectorate}} people she cares about]], and Dr. Evilton is putting them in danger.
36	** Amazing Girl is a HeroicNeutral, and if Dr. Evilton keeps attacking the city Amazing Girl lives in and spreading chaos everywhere, then Amazing Girl is going to keep fighting Evilton because she prefers living in a modern society with easy access to [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking clean water, electricity, and a WiFi connection]], ''thank you very much''.
37	** She doesn't give a shit about what any of those idiots think, she's doing this because she wants to!
38	%% (Not sure if this counts as zigzagged) Amazing Girl is unpopular, but Awesome Lad is always treated well by the citizens.
39	* '''Averted''':
40	** Amazing Girl has her detractors, but she also has plenty of admirers; there's a roughly even mix depending on the circumstances.
41	** [[ApatheticCitizens The citizens don't care too much about Amazing Girl]].
42	* '''Enforced''': "It's boring to have a superhero who everyone likes! We need to have loads of people hate our superhero to avoid this!"
43	* '''Lampshaded''': "No matter what I do, it seems like I can never please these people."
44	* '''Invoked''': [[ZeroApprovalGambit Amazing Girl is shy and would feel undeserving of any admiration the population might shower upon her, so she makes herself appear flawed and unlikeable despite all the good she does, earning herself many enemies]].
45	* '''Defied''': "Seriously, let's give Amazing Girl a chance before we all start whaling on her."
46	* '''Exploited''':
47	** Dr. Evilton uses the public's distrust of Amazing Girl as the start of an attack on her self-esteem.
48	** Alternatively, the public were {{Entitled Bastard}}s making sure that Amazing Girl gets stressed out on earning their respect.
49	* '''Implied''': Amazing Girl mentions how she loves everything in her town, except for the media's portrayal of her.
50	* '''Discussed''': "All right, it's time for me to start fighting crime!" "I hope people don't start hating you for it, like those ungrateful bastards in that comic book I read!"
51	* '''Conversed''': "I'm constantly amazed that Amazing Girl doesn't just give up on those hopeless ingrates." "Well, if she did, then [[AnthropicPrinciple there would be no story]]."
52	* '''Deconstructed''':
53	** The lack of respect and suspicion she receives disillusions Amazing Girl, who retires in bitterness. Later, when a major catastrophe hits the city, there's no one around to save the day, and Amazing Girl sees no reason to lift a finger to help the ingrates who previously rejected her so snidely.
54	** See Exploited 2. This time, Amazing Girl gives up trying to tolerate the public's ungratefulness and leaves the town for good.
55	** Due to all the abuse that Amazing Girl suffers, she develops trust problems and a great suspicion for others, no matter who she is.
56	** Amazing Girl performs a heroic feat that finally earns her the town's respect, except this [[RageBreakingPoint enrages her]], and she [[ShamingTheMob calls out the town]] for only respecting her once she's useful to them.
57	* '''Reconstructed''':
58	** But she does anyway, because she's a hero and that's what heroes ''do''. Albeit in a KnightInSourArmor way.
59	** In a lighter note, the city got a massive slap in the face when Amazing Girl's arch nemesis Doctor Evilton thanks the people for chasing Amazing Girl away. [[YourApprovalFillsMeWithShame None of the townspeople enjoyed the compliment.]]
60	** But Amazing Girl gets advice from one of her supporters that [[EnemiesEqualsGreatness if they don't like you, then you're doing something right]]. Thus, she returns to her heroism motivated more than ever before because of the citizens' hatred of her.
61	** After her heroic feat, Amazing Girl [[OrderedApology orders an apology]] from the town, and forgives them on the grounds that they genuinely treat people like her with respect.
62	* '''Played For Laughs''': Amazing Girl saves the town from bandits; the townspeople "thanked her" by beating her to a pulp as the bandits watch with disgust, with one of them commenting [[EvenEvilHasStandards "And I thought we're the bad guys."]]
63	* '''Played For Drama''':
64	** The constant shunning and hatred from the [[UngratefulBastard ungrateful citizens]] finally make Amazing Girl snap, [[FaceHeelTurn and her]] StartOfDarkness [[FallenHero begins.]] Since [[HumansAreBastards every one of those bastards in the world]] treats her like a villain, [[ThenLetMeBeEvil then let her be the villain]].
65	** WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds
66	** Amazing Girl gets so tired of the citizens mistreating her that when the city is threatened by a hurricane, [[RageBreakingPoint she snaps]] and tells them point blank that [[RefuseToRescueTheDisliked she won't save them]]. The citizens are shocked at this, [[EntitledBastard and angrily point out that she's supposed to save them]], but Amazing Girl [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech brutally points out how the citizens have given her crap for years no matter how many times she saved their ungrateful asses]] and that [[MurderByInaction allowing them to die is what]] [[AssholeVictim they all they deserve.]] The citizens desperately beg her forgiveness, but Amazing Girl [[RejectedApology ignores them]] and watches in delight as they are destroyed by the hurricane.
