1 | '''Basic Trope''': A character learns that [[RousseauWasRight humanity isn't so bad as they thought.]] |
2 | * '''Straight''': Bob believes that HumansAreBastards, but after a meaningful talk with [[AllLovingHero Alice]], he realizes that he was wrong and changes his mind about humanity. |
3 | * '''Exaggerated''': Bob believes that humans are the scum of the earth and must be destroyed, but [[DefeatMeansFriendship it took Alice to beat Bob to make him accept humanity more often.]] |
4 | * '''Downplayed''': Bob believes that humans are shameless {{Jerkass}}es, but that was until the {{Nice G|uy}}irl Alice came to his life. |
5 | * '''Justified''': Bob has been brainwashed by his peers since childhood to believe that humanity is absolute scum for whatever reason - perhaps to raise him as a LivingWeapon. After being rescued, he gets a more nuanced view of society thanks to Alice treating him like an equal rather than a weapon. |
6 | * '''Inverted''': Bob used to believe that humans are good, but Alice convinced him that they are horrible creatures that need to be exterminated. |
7 | * '''Subverted''': "I've seen the light. I realize now that humanity isn't bad... [[HumansAreBastards They're horrible]]!" |
8 | * '''Double Subverted''': "... NAH! I'm just kidding. Got ya there, didn't I?" |
9 | * '''Parodied''': Bob says that even though he despises humanity, they make some good coffee. |
10 | * '''Zig Zagged''': Bob keeps swinging between HumansAreBastards and RousseauWasRight. |
11 | * '''Averted''': Bob's opinion on humanity doesn't change despite Alice's attempts. |
12 | * '''Enforced''': "We're thinking about AnAesop about seeing the good about humanity." |
13 | * '''Lampshaded''': "So Bob changed his views on humanity thanks to one speech from this Alice? ... She must be the most diplomatic person on Earth." |
14 | * '''Invoked''': Charlie, Bob's only friend from before he started to believe HumansAreBastards, pleads Alice (who is a much smoother talker) to convince Bob otherwise. |
15 | * '''Exploited''': Alice has a friend who's a ShipperOnDeck of Alice and Bob. Said shipper tries to convince Bob to go out with Alice by pointing out how she helped him see the worth of humanity. |
16 | * '''Defied''': "Don't patronize me, you [[SillyRabbitIdealismIsForKids annoying optimist.]] I'm not gonna let your [[PatrickStewartSpeech insipid speech]] convince me to outweight humanity's bad with the good." |
17 | * '''Discussed''': |
18 | -->'''Charlie''': "I never thought you'd save [[RedShirt my]] life back there, Bob... You didn't have [[YouOweMe some ulterior motive]], did you?" |
19 | -->'''Bob''': "Of course not. Someone had helped me realize how rejecting my own species wasn't doing anyone anything good earlier." |
20 | * '''Conversed''': "I wish all therapists were like Alice on this show." |
21 | * '''Implied''': Bob had been going through a HeroicBSOD due to personal traumas and losing faith in humanity - now HesBack. When asked what brought him back, he just glances at Alice. |
22 | * '''Deconstructed''': Bob's restored belief in humans keeps him from ignoring the fact that humanity's evil outweighs their good and to make matters worse, evil and suffering continues to rise. As a result, Bob returns to his misanthropy, but Alice also becomes misanthropic, now understanding how Bob feels about humanity. |
23 | * '''Reconstructed''': Both Alice and Bob learn not to think too highly of humanity and find people (even if only a few) who are willing to change their ways. |
