• A Different Childhood: Dr. Cockroach is a mad scientist who might bend the rules for the sake of his experiments, but he'd never experiment on a baby.
  Dr. Cockroach: I may be a mad scientist, but I'm not a mon-...well, I'm still not going to experiment on an infant!
• All For Luz:
  • Counsellor Johnson is shocked and disgusted by what Rodger Maxwell plans to put the superhuman teenagers into a Deadly Game. He's not happy at all about being forced to go along with it.
  • Emilia seemed to be the only one out the two enemy teams that wanted nothing to do with billions offered by the Antagonistic Governor. Its because of this fact, Luz decides You Will Be Spared.
  • Despite being distrustful of her intentions, Eda allows Toshiko to spend a few nights in her house, not wanting the girl to live out on the streets. She's also reluctant to hand her over to Emperor Belos even if she becomes a future threat to the Boiling Isles, seeing him as the scumbag he is. The Owl lady is also responsible enough to not give alcoholic drinks to a minor.
  • Julia is horrified when All For One tells her Luz slaughtered her killers, not wanting her friend to commit murder in her name even if it was to avenge her murder.
• In Amazing Fantasy, Bakugou bullies and belittles Izuku constantly, but he draws the line at actually watching Izuku die. After Izuku is bitten by a spider and gets sick from the venom, Bakugou immediately kills it with an explosion and rushes Izuku to the nearest hospital. He doesn't bother Izuku on his first day back at school either, simply telling him to keep quiet before walking away.
• In Anything Goes Game Changer an unnamed Ashikabi tries to pick up Ranma, thinking her a Sekirei. Unlike most later attempts, when she declines he accepts and moves on, thinking to himself that he's not the type to try to force himself on a woman and she's clearly not reacting to him.
• In Avenger Goddess, the Wakandans have no problem giving Howard Stark access to their technology as they recognise that he wouldn't want to steal anything from their culture but would prefer to be inspired by what he sees here and create his own variations of it.
• In Avenger Knight, Natasha notes that she's no saint, but is still disgusted by the crimes of many of the people locked up in Arkham Asylum.
• In Avenger of Steel, while Clark/Superman naturally tries to protect and save all lives, regardless of their criminal past or recent actions, he has encountered two cases where he has been particularly pushed to his limits;
  • J. Jonah Jameson's "vendetta" against superhumans is so frustrating Clark can't imagine anyone with the patience necessary to put up with him long enough to work for him.
  • When Clark learns what Kilgrave did to Jessica, Clark reflects that he truly hates Kilgrave for causing so much emotional and psychological pain to Jessica that he compromised her faith in herself to be a hero, while also reflecting that he didn't even hate Zod or Lorelei that much.
• Azumanga und Panzer:
  • Maho loaning Mako a helicopter so she can get to the hospital and see her grandmother is seen as proof that even the Nishizumi school has some regard for the welfare of one's comrades, rather than a kind act that Maho does as an individual.
  • Even Bangkok cab drivers think Yukari-sensei drives too recklessly.
• In metroanime's Bet series, at one point Grey Shard (an Interdimensional troubleshooter and Butt-Monkey of the most absurd and unfair degree) is placed Quantum Leap-style in the body of Akane Tendo. Because Grey hates Akane (putting it nicely) for being such a violent Tsundere, he absolutely refuses to stand in for her and sets up a gallows to commit suicide with anybody who can assist him with said suicide can do so by paying Nabiki Tendo. Nabiki, who is quite mercenary with no maidenly heart, is utterly horrified at how quickly everybody else in the cast (including her own father and older sister, and quite nonchalantly at that) assumes and accepts the fact she would agree to profit from her little sister's suicide. The shock causes her to decide to take a level in kindness.
• In The Boys: Real Justice, characters from The DCU make contact with the reality of The Boys (2019), and obviously the superhumans of DC are disturbed at best and outright disgusted by the "heroes" of the Seven;
  • Bruce and Clark are astonished to see Vought surpassing Lex Luthor in breaking antitrust laws.
  • Aquaman is disgusted with the Deep on account of him being a Serial Rapist and the fact that he has intercourse with marine life. At one point the Flash's Rogues confront the Deep and observe that if they think the Deep is a disgusting rapist, then the League are just going to outright hate him.
  • The Boys are stunned to see The Joker's bomb go off and kill sixty people. Even prior to this, Butcher is wary of the Clown Prince of Crime upon hearing the stories.
  • Despite being a vigilante himself, Batman dislikes Butcher because of his recklessness and ornery attitude, which make him more of a hindrance.
  • Alfred also remarks that Homelander elicits anger and disgust in Bruce only seen when he is speaking about The Joker.
  • Played With: Homelander is annoyed by Stormfront's Master Race nonsense...because he sees himself, and every other person injected with Compound V, as the "true" Master Race. His objection comes more from exasperation than any real morality.
• In the Torchwood/Smallville fic Captain Jack Comes to Smallville, when John Hart ‘seduces’ Lex Luthor and Lana into wanting to have sex with him, he gets Lana so worked up that she doesn’t even care when he admits that he’s had sex with poodles, and then Hart whispers to Lana that even after doing the poodle, she’s so repugnant to him that Hart still wouldn’t have sex with her or Lex.
• The Chaotic Masters:
  • Both Captain Black and Boss Awesome find WHOOP's activities sketchy, especially in regards to how they recruit agents (with both agreeing that the idea of a "spy gene" is idiotic).
  • Constantine doesn't think too highly of many of the rules surrounding The Masquerade, but even he admits that letting the general public know that magic exists would cause everyone to want to get ahold of it, risking it falling into dangerous hands. Also, when Raven later finds him sneaking into her room to find the Collector's mirror and snarks about him going through her underwear drawer, he's disgusted at the implication that he's some kind of pervert.
• Code Prime:
  • All of the Autobots, even the ones who distrust Lelouch, are disgusted when they learn what Charles did to him when the boy confronted his father over his mother's death.
  • Lelouch, in turn, vetoes the idea of using the Autobots' Ground Bridge to get to Pendragon and assassinate his father, as the chaos that would result would probably cause the world to burn.
  • When Dreadwing requests that Ratchet put a bomb in his head that the Autobots can use to kill him if he betrays them, everyone is horrified by this, including the Autobots and Black Knights that distrust him.
• In Confidence Lost, Neal immediately shoots down the possibility of impersonating the long-missing son of a billionaire. A living person is fine, a dead person is fine, but preying on a grieving family still clinging to the hope their loved one will be found safe and sound is too ruthless for him, no matter the wealth.
• In The Confectionary Chronicles, Hermione and Gabriel each have their limits in their devotion to Loki and desire to protect Hermione respectively;
  • While the nature of their bond at least gives Loki the potential to always read her mind, although Hermione reflects that she would never deny her god access to her thoughts if he wanted to see them she doesn’t keep her mind open so that he can just take a look at everything at any time.
  • As much as Gabriel wants to keep Hermione safe, he would never alter her body to make her stronger as he knows how she feels about cheating even if she wouldn’t ask questions if he wanted to do something (he muses that he’s already dreading how she’ll react when she realises he ‘tweaked’ her mind to make it easier for her to learn certain things). Also, while the part of him that’s Loki would like to keep Hermione safe by ordering her to set up a new island community dedicated to his worship, the part of him that’s still Gabriel refuses to limit Hermione’s opportunities to grow even if it puts her at risk.
• Detective Annabeth Chase of the 99th Precinct, which sees the staff of the 99th precinct get Annabeth Chase as their new detective, features a few examples of this;
  • While Jake Peralta makes various inappropriate jokes about his colleagues, when he makes his first such joke to Annabeth, she explains how her previous precinct made various sexist and belittling comments about her just because she was a woman. Even if she recognises that Jake's comments are just meant to be genuine jokes rather than more mean-spirited comments, Jake assures her that he will make no further jokes about her until she's more comfortable around them and won't instinctively react as though his comments were more mean-spirited.
  • When the 99th precinct learn that the father of Gina Linetti's child is Hermes rather than one of Boyle's cousins, Jake has to concede that this is one such tale that even Gina wouldn't have shared with others due to just how impossible most people would believe it to be.
• In Doctor in the Underworld, the Doctor still disapproves of killing as a first option but doesn’t voice any objections when Selene confirms that she’ll kill Singe after he’s been interrogated, likely due to the Doctor having seen the results of the experiments Singe conducted on other Corvinus descendants. When preparing for the final confrontation with Marcus, the Doctor explicitly acknowledges that Marcus’s ambitions are too dangerous and the man himself is too powerful for them to try and simply talk him down.
• The Dragon and the Butterfly: Alma Madrigal is far from the perfect parent/grandparent (even after the events of Encanto). However, she (along with every other Madrigal parent) is angered and horrified when they learn that Hiccup was disowned by Stoick.
  • The Dragon and the Butterfly: Whiteout: It's been stated that Karla often feels little remorse for the chaos she wrought out of a sense of entitlement her gift gives her. With that said, even she realizes that she went too far when the Catastrophic Quakens destroy the town plaza.
• Equestria Girls: A Fairly Odd Friendship:
  • Pinkie Pie is a normally peppy and cheerful person who can be immature and a little weird, but even she was annoyed with Gary and Betty. When she first meets Gary and Betty, they get along great because all three were peppy and cheerful people. However, she becomes annoyed with them when Gary and Betty took her candy and burn it because they say they are bad for her brain. She later becomes disgusted with them when Gary and Betty humiliated Timmy in a safety seminar under the glades of helping him. She angrily calls them out for their insensitivity and calls them idiots. Later, Timmy uses his magic to have a giant meteor destroy Gary and Betty's truck; Pinkie defends his actions, saying they were mean to him while thinking they were nice.
  • Despite Rainbow Dash's dislike of Zephyr Breeze, she does feel sympathy for him when Fluttershy revealed the reason for his behavior is that he was bullied for his interest in being a hairstylist because that was a girly interest.
  • Gilda and her crew are nasty pranksters, but they draw the line at seriously hurting someone or breaking their spirit. They're appalled by Crocker's plan to humiliate and hurt Timmy to gain access to his magic and beat Crocker up, along with Gary and Betty for their part in Timmy's humiliation. Gilda chuckled at Timmy's retaliation against her with giant spiders...until Fluttershy points out the spiders could've been poisonous.
    Gilda: Did you see what he was put through by those peppy happy idiots! That wasn't a prank. That was torture. Torture. I wouldn't do that.
    Applejack: You tortured Crocker.
    Gilda: He deserved it.
  • Trixie is disgusted that Chad and Tad bribed their way to victory in a game and hurt Timmy.
  • Moondancer grows uncomfortable with how the Dazzlings are using Timmy and ultimately agrees to help the Rainbooms save him despite not liking any of them.
  • Jorgen is mean to Timmy and likes to cause pain, but he is angered over how horrible the Dazzlings were.
  • Cinch is a mean woman, but she won't let her students bribe their way out of doing their schoolwork. It is Played With since Dean Cadence eagerly accepts "donations" from Doug Dimmadome.
• In Fate/Black Reflection, Soul Society may make some very morally reprehensible decisions when it comes to protecting the balance of the world, but even they are put off by the amoral, sociopathic mindset that's so common among magi. Ukitake is downright disturbed by just how many of them behave like Mayuri Kurotsuchi.
• Lagoon Company in general (and specifically Dutch) are pretty damn used to (even a bit jaded of) dealing with Blood Knight-types (because Roanapur doesn't seem to attract any other sort of criminal), and none more bloodthirsty than the local leader of Hotel Moscow, Balalaika, but in A Gentleman's Game, when Dutch discovers that Balalaika only hired them to deliver her the stolen plans of an advanced Kill Sat (a mission that had them fight The A-Team of all people) so she could set the plans on fire and gloat that for the foreseeable future wars will still be fought the way she likes them (which is to say with massive bloodshed by the infantry) Dutch for once is too weirded out and wants nothing more than to leave her office as fast as he can.
• God of War: Chains of the Heart: Sindri may utterly hate Kratos and Atreus for their unwitting roles in Brok's death, but even he refuses to partake in Sinmara's revenge scheme against them due to the sheer depths of her madness. He's ultimately forced to go along with it due to being trapped in Niflheim at her mercy.
• Hanging Ten Saga: In Hanging Ten, most of the senior staff pull humiliating pranks on the groms as part of their initiation without much remorse, but even they feel Kelly went too far when she tried to pour hot cooking oil on Lo (only failing due to Ben's intervention).
• Harbinger (Finmonster): Dash is his usual Jerk Jock self from the series, but he defends Mitch and Scott from a group of homophobic jerks and even gets himself beaten up in the process until Danny (in Phantom form) comes to the rescue.
• In Harry Potter and the Ice Princess, when Peeves witnesses a possessed Ginny attempting to open the Chamber of Secrets, "Riddle" has to wipe Peeves' memory of the encounter before he reports it, as Peeves is only interested in mischief but would never do anything that would outright endanger any of the students or staff.
• Helluva Wizard:
  • Verosika Mayday may be a succubus who'll sleep with just about anyone, but she draws the line at children. She also makes sure not to swear in front of them.
  • Harry also shows this when he gives Ron a disapproving look over insulting Hermione's lack of friends. Harry doesn't like her and is very blunt about why, but even he doesn't go quite as far as to imply literally nobody likes her.
• In A Horse for the Force, despite being rather amoral herself, Nabiki is very disapproving of Akane cheating on Ranma and that she only stays engaged to him because she doesn't want to "lose" to Ranma's other fiances.
• Everyone who hears about Genma Saotome in How I Learned to Love the Wild Horse thinks he's a total scumbag. And even Alpha Bitch Mandy thinks Kodachi is a bitch, remarking she wouldn't risk accidentally exposing Ranma as she's not willing to be an accessory to manslaughter.
  • Likewise Mandy, Carolyn, and Dominique are all horrified that Nabiki would frame Ranma for rape over the accidental destruction of some concert tickets.
• In a non-canon Hunters of Justice Chibi chapter, Aphrodite might enjoy playing The Matchmaker on Valentine's Day, but there are some lines she won't cross in her shipping. One year, she made it so anyone who set their eyes on Ruby Rose would fall in love with her. But those who were already in a relationship or are Ruby's family members were unaffected, to everyone's relief.
• In Incarnation of Legends, Odin's fetishes make him eager to recruit Bell and make him a crossdressing Idol Singer. But he is neither a stalker nor a creep the way Freya or Apollo are. Despite his disappointment, Odin backs off when Bell declines his offer to join the Valkyries, though that doesn't stop the Valkyries themselves from metaphorically and literally trying to seduce Bell to their side.
• inFAMOUS Hero Academia: When the blast goes off in Mustafu City, Bakugou immediately rushes into ground zero to rescue his former Childhood Friend, Midoriya. He might like picking on him, but that's no reason to leave him to die.
• Infinity Crisis:
  • A comical version is invoked in the spin-off In Hand and Foot when Leonardo (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) and Luke Cage both agree that the addition of Squirrel Girl to the fight is really weird.
  • The Doctor finds the Legends' version of time travel to be "insane and idiotic", which she notes is really saying something coming from her.
  • In Tomorrow's Guardians, even after everything he's dealt with in his career, Ray is still surprised when he finds himself working with Yaphit (The Orville), who's basically living green Jell-o.
• Infinity Train: Boiling Point
  • Boscha shows absolute disgust over the Apex coming in and killing denizens and raiding cars, and shows off said disgust by burning children and dislocating arms.
  • Consequently, while nobody likes the Apex, Boscha's brutal treatment of them even after they give her what she wants is so extreme Chris and the Mana Academy students have to interfere before she goes too far.
  • Simon is actually disturbed with how Phos is screaming in agony after being crushed into pieces, to the point he suggests putting the Denizen out of their misery.
  • Chloe is a mainly heroic figure and a pacifist by nature, so she's shocked at Lexi using his papers to slice Boscha's eyes as a pragmatic mood and is horrified that she has to murder Boscha to save the Trian.
• Interdimensional Cartoon Discussion and Support Group: During “Prison Break”, Ivy has a panic attack when she sees the herons on the screen, flashing back to the day of the heron attack. The lone figure refuses to pause the episode, though. Even Stan is appalled by their basic indifference to the issue. When they remind everyone to discuss it when the episode ends, they all glare at him, Polly calling them a jerk under her breath.
• Kage (a crossover between Jackie Chan Adventures and W.I.T.C.H.): While Jade is quite familiar with being a Combat Pragmatist and Guile Heroine, she is disgusted at the Guardians for framing Raythor for treason and getting him banished to the Abyss of Shadows, feeling that there are some things a hero should not do, and that doing that to someone as honor-driven as Raythor is worse than killing him.
• Tex in Kingdom Hearts: Red and Blue refuses to let Sora tag along with her on her mission because he's a kid, despite viewing him as a more competent fighter compared to the Reds and Blues.
• The Light of Abyss:
  • Tiny Nose may be a Conspiracy Theorist who think that the world is a triangle, but even she thinks that the Demon Realm equivalent of anti-vaxxers are crazy.
  • Eda may be a self-admitted scoundrel, but she won't let a kid Amity's age live on the streets/in the woods, and gives her genuine advice about what she should do during her time as a runaway.
  • Lilith and Steve are dedicated members of the Emperor's Coven and enforce Belos' harsh rule, but are furious when a coven scout ends up branding Luz with a sigil against her will.
  • Vee and the other Basilisks left the Greater Basilisk behind when they escaped because they didn't like her constant talk about getting revenge on the witches, Vee even outright calling her crazy when she hears that she somehow escaped on her own.
• In Chapter 36 of List of Oneshots part 4, Bitzo is temporarily aged up into an old man just in time for his monthly "rendezvous" with Stolas. When Stolas arrives and finds out about Blitzo's current condition, he just can't find it in himself to become aroused despite his lust for Blitzo, showcasing that a Depraved Bisexual who gets off on just about anything actually has some limits.
• Lost in Camelot;
  • Morgana is surprised to learn that Uther is aware of even the possibility that men and women can be attracted to others of their own gender and expresses no significant distaste at the idea so long as the relevant parties are discreet. However, Uther's tolerance for this has limits; when Morgana is forced to justify her being outside of Camelot during a raid on a druid camp by claiming that they wanted to be alone together, Uther orders this relationship to end so that he can make arrangements for suitable marriages for Bo and Morgana.
  • On the other hand, Merlin is privately concerned that Lancelot may not be as understanding about Merlin having a relationship with two women at once as he is about Merlin's magic. However, when Dyson reveals their relationship, Lancelot assures Merlin that nothing will change their friendship.
  • Even Morgause has her limits; while she is open enough about sexual matters that she has had relations with other women as well as men, she avoids watching through her crystal when she realises that her sister is likely about to have sex.
• In The Magic of Torchwood, Jack Harkness muses that Umbridge is a rare creature because she's "a human that even [he] found so utterly repulsive [that he] would rather kiss a Weevil than even look at her"; when the rest of his team learn this, Jack notes that there are things even he wouldn't do.
• In Manehattan's Lone Guardian, after a friendly round of poker against a foal, a Professional Gambler states to his compatriots that he has too much respect for the foal's mother—a former Royal Police officer who rescued him from a hostage situation fifteen years prior—to regularly meet with the child for card games without her parent's permission.
• Maria Campbell of the Astral Clocktower:
  • Maria warns Duchess Claes that she is worried that the Third Prince might try to force his engagement to Katarina to proceed, over her mother's objections, by impregnating her. He's infamously pragmatic and black-hearted, after all, so he could well justify it all as being for Katarina's own good in the long run. When the Duchess denounces the Third Prince, there is no sign that this thought occurs to him even for a second. He does briefly consider a few immoral things like discrediting Duchess Claes, but he doesn't even consider doing anything to Katarina. He ends up just struggling to write an apology letter.
  • When Maria's mother is kidnapped, she calmly asks the Third Prince for help by offering to murder everyone who stands between him and Katarina. And then says if that doesn't work, she'll start using Dark magic to force him and his friends (who are all highly-ranked nobles) to help. He doesn't take her up on the offer, he doesn't report her to his father for treason, and he still helps her anyway. And he tells his brother about it, so it's not even a case of keeping it in reserve for later.
    Alan: Was that it?
    Third Prince: Was it what?
    Alan: What she offered. Was that all? Killing your competition for the throne and Katarina?
    Third Prince: She offered me nothing I hadn't already decided I didn't want. Good night brother. May the good sun guide your way.
• Martian Manhunter sees Veronica Mars being sent into the world of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. As part of her insertion into the Buffyverse, Veronica has to re-investigate Lily Kane's murder, which leads to her learning that Xander had a brief relationship with Lily; he has spent the last few weeks being angry at Veronica because Lily faked a letter that suggested Veronica mocked Lily for dating Xander and forced Lily to dump him when Lily just wanted to end the relationship with the possibility of restarting it later. Xander expects Veronica to mock him for his stupidity, but Veronica privately muses that while she does enjoy mocking genuine stupidity, in this case, she recognises that Xander had reason to dislike her based on what seemed like good evidence.
• Marvel Falls: Like canon Pacifica Northwest has no issues mocking Mabel being a Cloudcuckoolander, she was however sorry for Kamala when her parents saying 'there were barely any Muslins in Gravity falls in 1863' as an excuse to prevent Kamala from participating in Pioneer Day.
• Metagaming?: Luna Lovegood is firmly convinced that even the Always Chaotic Evil black dragons can be saved, or at least their unhatched whelps can. But after purging the fel corruption from Garona Halforcen, she outright refuses to consider doing so for other orcs, insisting that they should keep the reminder of what they did^note Unlike Garona, who was tainted by Gul'dan's foul magic, the orcs by and large willingly corrupted themselves by drinking Mannoroth's blood.
• Metal Gear: Green: Snake and the MSF are a group of powerful mercenaries, but they despise those who use children as either soldiers or experiments. The moment Ape reports Child Heroes out on the field during the hero attack, he orders a halt on all operations and focus on infiltrating the hero ranks and getting the hero students out.
  • Even though she hates the idea of having refugees fight, she instigates this in order to help bolster defenses while trying to alleviate the supply issues. The day it was implemented, their numbers instantly doubled, mostly from defecting prisoners and willing refugees.
  • Even though he is disgusted at betting on a girl being sold off by the Showmaster, Miller does this in order to prevent the girl being sold off to a depraved individual, while capturing their teleporting servant.
  • Despite being an asshole and an arrogant blowhard, the Ocelot Unit and Class 1A didn't believe Fudaki deserved what the USJ Nomu did to him.
  • While they are technically a nation for hire, Snake will not take any contracts that offer no benefits or are a cause he doesn't wish to support. As Grizzly explains to Momo, they will accept helping people from disasters, rescuing children from human trafficking rings or even animal preservation contracts, but never the opposite.
• The Monsters on Maple Street: Despite all his own paranormal experiences, Dib draws a line at Jacob's nonsense about demons from Mars wanting to steal human teeth to power a time machine. That said, he still gives him enough of a benefit of a doubt to check out his claims about Vee.
• In Morningstar Family Values, Lucifer never uses his 'deepest desire' trick on his daughter Sabrina because he doesn't want to invade his daughter's privacy (as well as not wanting to explore teenage angst issues).
• My Hero Academia: Unchained Predator:
  • The Slayer is an Ax-Crazy Blood Knight, but he outright hates the idea of sending hero students to fight Curator and the Volcano Thieves, as the four are highly dangerous villains, and with the exception of Mirio, the rest haven't even made it past their first semester. While VEGA does understand this issue, the alternate would be to let them detonate the VX bomb and abduct Melissa for enslavement. The Slayer reluctantly concedes the point, especially since he can't be everywhere at once.
  • In Chapter 26, nobody likes the American reporter barging in and demanding an interview with Izuku. This is largely due to the fact that Izuku (alongside probably everyone on I-Island) is thoroughly traumatized at the Slayer's actions, and the reporter's desire for being the first to report on what happened at I-Island makes him sound not only uncaring of these people's feelings, but outright dismissing what these people want (which is to be left alone). Aizawa had to threaten to give the reporter a colonoscopy with his camera while restraining him with his capture scarf to force him to leave.
• Necessary to Win:
  • Teru is a relatively cold and detached individual, but when her fellow vice-captain Erika chides Hisa for walking away from a tankery match three years ago, Teru tells Erika that certain people have parts of their pasts that they would rather not discuss, something that is very much true for Teru.
  • In spite of treating her own sister coldly, Teru is shocked to hear that Shiho is considering disowning Miho if she fails to win the semi-finals, believing that no reason Shiho has could justify doing such a thing.
• New Stars:
  • Even before their Heel–Race Turn, the Kaylon all had a hatred for the practice of slavery (given their origins, it's not hard to see why).
  • According to Ed, when the Union developed cloning technology, they all agreed that, while cloning body parts (hearts, livers, lungs, etc) was fine, cloning sentient beings was not. As the captain says it best:
    Ed: A liver isn't sentient. A person is.
• Nightmare in Arkham:
  • When Batman is investigating the Scarecrow's death, Alfred points out that while his death was tragic, as is any death, this will make his work a little easier, with one less fiend to worry about. Batman says that while it is true, he points out that his goal isn't just to save Gotham from these crazed madmen; it's also trying to save the crazed madmen from themselves. If he took pride in the Scarecrow's death, as the Scarecrow would have done with his, he'd be the same masked criminal that the Scarecrow was.
  • Batman, who deals with madmen on a daily basis, is completely horrified and disgusted with Freddy Krueger's crimes when he learns of them: that he murdered and mutilated hundreds of children, and his crimes were the most horrible he ever heard of. When he read a report of a police officer who almost shot Krueger and his wife asked "What stopped you?", Batman almost agrees with her. When Batman learns how Krueger was burned alive by Springwood residents, he wonders if he would have stood alongside them as they sent this unholy abomination to Hell where he belonged. The only villain that got Batman this angry was the Sewer King, and he even admitted the The Joker hadn't even displayed the amount of sadism that Fred Krueger had.
• Origin Story;
  • SHIELD may not be exactly the best, but for the most part, they have principles. For example, while Alex Harris (aged 17) was in a coma at the beginning of the story, one agent thought it would be fun to take several naked pictures of her and sell them to a porn site. He was promptly arrested, fired from SHIELD, and sent to Leavenworth, with full expectations of him getting shivved for his actions.
  • Learning that the real Karen Starr was killed by her own father years ago leaves all of the Avengers between nauseous and furious.
• In A Peaceful Afterlife Husk is usually an apathetic drunk, but he refuses to kick out Kira because he would be conscripted to help purge the west side residents of hell. Husk feels the hotel staff would be partially responsible for all those who die.
  • Angel Dust finds the Cenobites to be freaks, stating he'll do anything for money, but they do it for fun.
• People Like Us: Travis sometimes wrestles with the same want to possess someone as he once did with Betsy, but he absolutely will not overstep Arthur's boundaries even when Arthur seems like he wants him to, whether that's in the bed or in day to day life.
• Peter Parker Needs A Hug: If a criminal values his life, then he will not go after a kid in front of Red Hood. The guy who tried to beat up Peter Parker learned that the hard way, and only got out of it alive because Peter asked Hood not to kill him. At this point, every criminal in Gotham should know that harming/attacking children in front of any of the Bats is a bad idea.
• The Pokémon Squad:
  • In "Eight Yaois Out", June, the resident Jerkass, says even she's not a bigot.
    June: Yeah, I'm a (Nick jingle)ing cruel heartless (Nick jingle) half the time, but I'm not discriminatory.
  • Brock may be the biggest pervert in the series, but he's shown on more than one occasion that Barney's pedophilia disgusts him.
  • Almost everybody hated Ash's Grandmother in "Granny Ketchum's Homestyle Nuisance", but RM was outraged by Ash and Barney accidentally giving her a heart attack.
• A Possible Encounter for a Phantom:
  • Mr. Lancer normally sides with Dash and favors him. But when Dash threw a cooler full of grape juice in an attempt to publicly humiliate Kim and Danny took the hit for her in the gymnasium, he was disgusted with Dash. Realizing Kim was right about Dash's behavior, he decides to let Kim beat him up.
  • Even though Danny finds her less appealing than Paulina, Danny defends Bonnie from the verbal abuse she gets from her sisters by calling them out on not being as smart or pretty as they think they are.
  • While they usually pick on their sister when it comes to boys, Jim and Tim are pretty uncomfortable when she makes a Stalker Shrine for Danny while under a spell.
• Remnant's Bizarre Adventure:
  • Cardin Winchester is a self-proclaimed bully, but after finding out that Koichi was kidnapped, he tells Josuke what he knows. He even admits that trying to hold onto the information would have left a sour taste in his mouth.
  • Played for Laughs in the sixth chapter of the Omake series Remnant's Bizarre Adventure Chibi. While Koichi Hirose is fine with Neopolitan being his Stalker with a Crush, he is disturbed that Yukako Yamagi had come from another universe just because a Koichi different from her boyfriend is dating another girl.
• Turns out in the Danny Phantom / Beetlejuice Crossover, Say It Thrice, Betelgeuse didn't realize how young Lydia was during the events of the movie. He was not happy when he finds out what he almost did.
  • He also doesn't like Sanduleak's preferred methods of interacting with the living. Especially since he tried to drag Betelgeuse into it without telling him what he had in mind. Betelgeuse made his displeasure known quite clearly.
• In The Search for Victory, when Tony gets an idea of the scale of the science involved in the Stargate Program, he states that he will sign over his soul, his firstborn, or anything else to take part in the program, but adds that he won't sign over Pepper's shoe collection out of a sense of self-preservation.
• The Secret Keeper;
  • Despite Bella’s traditional discomfort at receiving gifts, she shows no hesitation in expressing her joy when Edward gives her a Firebolt; his siblings observe that Edward’s prior problem was that he wasn’t looking for the right mode of transportation to impress her.
  • When a group of the remaining Death Eaters break into Hogwarts, one of their goals was to kill Draco Malfoy for his parents’ roles in Voldemort’s defeat, but they fail to convince any of Draco’s housemates to torture him to ‘avenge’ the losses of their own parents as the other students all accept that Draco isn’t responsible for that.
• In The Serpent’s Vow, the Tok'ra are utterly sickened to learn Seto was implanted into a toddler when he still was immature enough to be around his host's age range in development, with Selmak openly calling it a crime.
• The Silver Raven:
  • Lilith greatly enjoys activities such as documentaries on balusters, watching paint dry, and generally things most would consider chores, but even she finds the sheer amount of paperwork her position as head of the Emperors Coven entails to be incredibly exhausting.
  • Discussed, but Eda brings up that, despite how overprotective Gwendolyn could be, she never resorted to spying on her own children. When she learns that Lilith went that far, she even points this out to her.
• Spider-Ninja:
  • Doctor Octopus, despite being an evil Mad Scientist, is a firm dis-believer in dissecting rare/unusual creatures. Like he tells Donatello, it's foolish to kill a rare creature for study if you know only a few (or only one) of those creatures exist, and that nonlethal methods of experimentation specifically exist so that a specimen doesn't have to be killed. In an earlier chapter, he also expresses an extreme hatred of anyone who doesn't follow laboratory safety procedures (seeing as how he was involved in a near-fatal lab accident).
  • Casey Jones is a vigilante with a short fuse and a practically murderous hatred of the Purple Dragons... but he refuses to attack women or children. He even admits to Raphael that he beats up anyone he catches hurting women or kids (which is mostly why he wasn't mad at Raph when the turtle beat him up for injuring Spider-Ninja).
  • The Green Goblin has done a lot of evil things, but he despises those who try to get Revenge by Proxy. He was already planning on attacking the Shredder, but he became furious when he learned that Oroku Saki planned to hurt Splinter by killing the Turtles and Spider-Ninja. A father himself, Goblin makes it clear to the Shredder that no good villain ever makes it personal, and even compliments Splinter's parenting skills before stabbing Shredder through the chest. He may have standards but he's still an Ax-Crazy supervillain.
• In Star Wars vs Warhammer 40K, upon meeting an Imperial garbage cleaning servitor — a lobotomized human brutally augmented with disfiguring, clunky cybernetics to become a mindless automaton — Anakin Skywalker's astromech droid R2-D2 disapprovingly notes that the servitor is "less than a droid".
• Suicidal Overconfidence:
  • As much as she wants Bitsy's money, Helen makes an effort to steer her away from Wilson Fisk, knowing fully well what will happen if they make contact.
  • Fisk regards Central Park as too important to the city to simply bulldoze, no matter how much money there would be in such a deal.
• A Supe of a Man:
  • While Mary Clark treats her adopted nephew like her show pony, she uses her connections to make his life a little easier and still lets him live a relatively functional childhood. She's also completely willing to scrap her initial plans for him to start his official career on the east coast so he won't be in Homelander's cross-hairs and indeed seems intent on delaying a confrontation between the two of them for as long as possible once she learns Homelander hates Clark. She later furiously fires her own producer for trying to use Jonathan's funeral for publicity.
  • Even Billy Butcher cannot bring himself to badmouth Superman, despite his hatred for Supes as a whole.
• In A Thin Veneer, as part of the new Federation/Klingon alliance against the Minbari, Kirk's former Klingon adversary Kor assures Kirk that he and other Klingons condemn Kurge's actions on Genesis and regret that Kirk lost his son in such a manner.
• According to Ranma-as-Luffy in Stallion of the Line, sailing under false colors^note Using a marine flag on a pirate vessel, pretending to be a civilian ship, etc is despicable even for pirates.
• In Strange Potter, although Karl Mordo is against Doctor Strange getting involved in the affairs of the wizarding world, when he learns that an infant was made into an accidental horcrux he fully agrees with Strange's decision to purge that horcrux. Likewise, when Sirius first heard that horcruxes were involved, he recalls that they were one of the few dark magic topics his family never approved of and even Strange notes that this is one kind of magic that he definitely considers evil.
  • Similar to Mordo, Wong agrees that the horcrux within Harry requires immediate intervention, and also he and Strange are both appalled that Dumbledore left Harry on the Dursleys’ front porch, (with no supervision where anybody could steal him), and without discussing the situation with the Dursleys before dumping Harry with them.
  • Also applies to Strange's issues with Dumbledore, as while he considers Dumbledore to be a man so used to being right he doesn't accept it when people question his plans, he nevertheless acknowledges that Dumbledore wouldn't, for example, have leaked the prophecy to Voldemort on purpose to use the Potters and Longbottoms as bait.
• A Starstruck, Phantasmic Romance: In this crossover between Danny Phantom and Teen Titans, Starfire becomes a Stalker with a Crush to Danny. Despite how her overly strong affections are making him uncomfortable, Danny doesn't like seeing her get her feelings hurt and gets angry at Val-Yor still saying bigoted things about her.
• In Through the Looking Glass (Firefly/Battlestar Galactica), when Kara learns that John Dadik named a planet after himself, she reflects that even Baltar never went that far.
• In this Hazbin Hotel/Helluva Boss crossover fancomic, even Angel Dust — the living embodiment of All Gays are Promiscuous — thinks that Stolas is coming off too strong in his phone calls with Blitzo.
• In Tangled Fate, there is Nerima's chaotic bullshit such as gender-bending curses or a pineapple-obsessed principal trying to shave his students' hair, and then you have Creation's Exalted bullshit — when Ryouga and Ranma hear the masterminds behind the Usurpation exploded a whole constellation out of existence to hide their schemes, they openly gape and call it ridiculous.
• Teenage Jinchuriki Shinobi:
  • Raphael smacks Michelangelo on the head every time the latter says or does something foolish, but even the former is disgusted by how poorly Neji treats Hinata.
  • Similarly, Raph gets outraged when Itachi, while fighting Sasuke, tries to pull a "Not So Different" Remark.
• In Theogony, Kratos admits to briefly knowing Medea during his tenure as the greek god of war, but refused to sleep with her because even he, despite his Sexual Prowess and Blood Knight tendencies at the time, was wary of the consequences of doing so.
• TMDDF: What If?:
  • Deadpool claims joking in one review about the fact all of Danny's dates at the time were redheads like his sister is beneath him.
  • Danny outright refuses to look up at Sakura's skirt despite having the opportunity to.
  • Tucker is ashamed of his happiness over Danny having a bad date once Danny pointed out Tucker was happy when Danny "went out with someone who hits kids."
• Total Loud Island: Once Lincoln reveals how Dawn was eliminated (namely, Heather rigged the votes against her), Duncan, who is a bullying Jerk with a Heart of Gold at the best of times who doesn't like Lincoln or Dawn very much, is just as disgusted with her as Gwen is.
• Turnabout Storm:
  • For all the blatant cutesyness of Equestria and its inhabitants, they still consider that the pink heart-shaped Equestrian attorney badge is far too excessive in that regard.
  • Despite Trixie's Jerkass tendencies, and not being the most honest pony herself, she shows a dislike for liars that lie to save their own hide. This shows when she abandons her own witness after a very long string of lies, and later when she helps Phoenix to further expose another witness despite having already done so herself, which only serves to give an opening for Phoenix's case.
  • Turns out that Ace Swift was an invincible racer because he blackmailed the living hell out of any potential competitors so they would let him win. His assistant Sonata was OK with this... until Ace demanded one of his competitors to quit or he would cut the life support of his ailing sister. Sonata decided that this was just something too cruel to stand behind, regardless of the consequences to herself (his "murder" was an accident triggered when he was trying to kill her, even).
• Two For the Price of One sees Willow Rosenberg visit the Arrowverse and take part in a plan to bring Leonard Snart back to life. While Mick Rory is watching the ritual, he reflects that while he doesn't like listening to others, he has enough respect for experts like Victor Stein or Ray Palmer to avoid doing anything related to their area of expertise if they advise against it, operating on a similar reasoning regarding Willow's magic as he recognises that she knows what she's doing for the current spell.
• The Unexpected Rookie: Skywarp, a Seeker for the Decepticons, gets squeamish at car crashes and worries about anyone dying.
• Unity (Finmonster): While GoGo has no qualms in sneaking 18-year-old Violet into a nightclub for Girls' Night, she draws the line at bringing 12-year-old Riley and Tip there.
• The Originals of The Universiad are to a man Combat Pragmatists who cheerfully advocate There Is No Kill Like Overkill, but the results of deploying a Witch during the "Starkiller" Black Star incident were so brutal that even normally The Unfettered Gideon020, who is unafraid to go to lengths that many Originals find distasteful, was forced to reconsider the morality of doing so.
• Universe Falls: Stan Pines will readily admit to having a well-deserved reputation as a greedy crook, but as seen in "Like A Comet", even he thinks Greg's old manager Marty was a money-grubbing sleazebag.
• Voyages of the Wild Sea Horse: During the Dead End Race, the captain of an all-female crew who've all been de-aged following an encounter with Jewelry Bonney squares off against Mad Monk Urouge, a pirate captain legendary for his devotion to debauchery and carnal pleasures. As they fight, the captain vows that she will not let Urouge sexually assault her crew, a statement that nearly wipes Urouge's perpetual grin from his face as he disgustedly asserts that being a hedonist doesn't mean that he doesn't have standards, clearly offended by the insinuation that he would rape a woman and/or have sex with an underage girl.
• Wandering Pilot has Menace, who deeply cares for Shinji as a "servant". When she finds Melona — a sadistic Slime Girl who can alter her body into Hollywood Acid — mercilessly abusing his newfound Healing Factor and raping him in the process, Menace obliterates the Slime Girl without a second thought.
• In When Demon Hunters Meet the Arrow, even Dean Winchester is disturbed when he, Sam and Team Arrow realise that Isabel Rochev has had an affair with Robert Queen in the past and seduced Oliver during a recent visit to Russia.
  • Likewise, in the related fic When Demon Hunters Meet an Alien, while the Doctor dislikes John Winchester's more violent methods, when the Seventh Doctor and John discover a Silurian that killed a miner who broke his hibernation capsule by accident and has been killing other miners who came to find out what happened to his first victim, the Doctor advises John that it's time to fight by informing the hunter he has no problem with John's usual methods right now.
• Despite planning on breaking up Harry and Wednesday so he can shag the latter in When Harry met Wednesday, Cormac McLaggen has no desire to bed the girl who wants to hook up with Harry as she's way too young and "A kid with a great rack is still a kid".
• In XCOM: Second Contact, the Citadel races think Humanity Is Insane, but even Udina is stunned when the former talk of cloning fertile Chryssalids.
• In XSGCOM, X-COM is considered short a few marbles by almost everyone else... so "When the guys in charge of X-COM think you’re too nuts to be on a UFO Retrieval Team, then you’ve got some serious issues."

A-C

Aladdin

• In Queen of Diamonds, after Jafar takes over Agrabah, the visiting Prince Achmed remains because he recognises the dangers of Jafar as Sultan. Likewise, while Razoul obeyed Jafar's past orders, he would have sided with the Sultan during Jafar's coup if Jafar hadn't hypnotised him into loyalty.

The Amazing World of Gumball

• In Kedabory's Elmore Chronicles, despite their fixation on alternative/herbal medicine, Mx. Small is actually vaccinated against, at the very least, whooping cough. When questioned about it, they explain that it was a requirement from the school board and that the kids' safety is far more important to them.

Animorphs

• Jokingly invoked in Animorphs Redux when the Animorphs are trying to spy on a human-morphed Visser Three while they're in fly morph; when Visser Three goes into the toilet, Marco and Melissa each affirm that they are never going to stick around for that, and the others agree (save for Ax, who doesn't get what they're talking about).

Arrowverse

• Blackbird: The driving point of the story is that Dinah Lance learned that Sara was with the League of Assassins, and gave Laurel to them in exchange for Sara's release. An act of betrayal that extreme tends gets this reaction a lot:
  • Nyssa, despite being the Heir to the Demon and having been raised in the League her entire life, finds the way Laurel "joined" to be morally appalling. The fact that Ra's kept Laurel in line by telling her if her "performance" was in any way unsatisfactory he'd kill her entire city just added to the issue. Her refusing to start a relationship with Laurel, despite indications of feelings on both sides, may also count.
  • Moira Queen would do anything for her children, but even she's horrified when she learns of this. As a mother herself, she can barely stand to think of it.
  • To her credit, Sara is also well aware of how horrible this exchange was. She's visibly haunted by it and has spent the past several years physically and emotionally wasting away.
• In Wrong Road to the Right Place, even Helena Bertinelli is horrified by Malcolm Merlyn's plan.

Avatar: The Last Airbender

• Another Brother:
  • Well... sort of. When Prince Iroh visits the depopulated Southern Air Temple, he reasons that Sozin didn't need to exterminate all the Air Nomads to kill the Avatar, just their children. Sozin could have spared the babies and anyone above the age of twenty.
  • Prince Iroh also buys Katara from the pirates, despite his only goal being to secure the Avatar, to spare her from their 'attentions'.
• In The Blood of the Covenant, Harmony is an Earth Kingdom assassin who is thrilled when an anonymous client pays her to kill a member of the Fire Nation royal family...but is shocked and horrified when she realizes that her target is the one-year-old Prince Zuko. She and her partner then spend the next several months trying to find him a good foster home, thus kicking off the plot of the fic.
• Deadshots:
  • June is a bounty hunter, but she tries to avoid hunting down innocent people and even spares Fire Nation deserters who avoid committing severe atrocities. Despite wanting to toughen up her new charges, she's horrified by the abusive manner in which Mai and Zuko were trained.
  • Aang, Sokka, and Katara are horrified when Azula tells them about her brother's fate.
  • Some factions of the Fire Nation's aristocracy are appalled with Ozai's more extreme actions and are horrified by him (potentially) killing off Zuko.
• In Flames of Regicide, Azula notes that all but the most fanatical Fire Nation citizens would be uncomfortable with Ozai's plan to burn the Earth Kingdom to the ground. The fanatics who would be fine with it could be swayed by pointing out what a waste it would be to burn down territories they spent the last century conquering.
• Foxfire: Qiao is your average snooty and conceited Upper Ring citizen but when she's informed her betrothed drove his lover to suicide and murdered his children, she's devastated.
• The Stalking Zuko Series:
  • June the bounty hunter is quite honest that she's Only in It for the Money, much to Toph's disappointment. That said, when she realizes that the Gaang wasn't kidding about Ozai's plan to destroy the Earth Kingdom, she redoubles her efforts to find Aang so that they can prevent that from happening.
  • Mai notes that even the twin-fish, fish that are born in pairs, in which one eats the other by the time they're juveniles, would find Zuko and Azula's sibling relationship to be utterly dysfunctional, even by their standards.
• Towards the Sun:
  • Several guards at the Boiling Rock go out of their way to keep Suki safe, one of them mentioning she's not much older than his own daughter.
  • One of the prisoners at the Boiling Rock is a woman who crippled her commanding officer for burning a child.
• In there is a fire in me, Jet isn't the most popular or liked guy — Aang actually calls him a bad person — but his mental breakdown when he learns he has Fire ancestry and can firebend is so raw and unsettling that Team Avatar try everything they can to help him with finding his ground again.

Batman

• In Antidote for the Poison, Red Hood is his usual brutal vigilante self who memorably shoots and beats his adopted brothers. But he's horrified when he finds some drug dealers tried to kill Tim by making him overdose on heroin, and later confesses he didn't follow his usual method of murdering the scum because ten-years-old Damian was right there and the kid didn't need to see that.

Battlestar Galactica (2003)

• In Did I Make the Most of Loving You?, even Admiral Cain is uncomfortable at the notion of airlocking a baby, even if the child is half-Cylon.

Bones

• We Are Legend features a heroic character facing his limits; Seeley Booth has spent years being loyal to America even when asked to kill people, but when ordered to kill Doctor Temperance Brennan (who has accidentally turned herself into Patient Zero of a virus that turns those infected into zombie-esque monsters), Booth turns on his own team rather than kill Brennan.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer

• Btvs: Seasons Rewrite: The Scoobies may be hunters of monsters, but in Season 4, they acknowledge that not all demons are bad, and are disgusted by the Initiative treating them like lab rats, particularly after a vampire is chipped and is driven so crazy by being unable to hunt or feed that he begs Cordelia and Doyle for a Mercy Kill. Angel and Xander sum it up best:
  Angel: That's inhuman. I know none of us are saints, but I don't think we deserve to be experimented on to the point of rendering our survival impossible.
  Xander: Angel's right. We've come across enough demons in our time to know that not all of them are bad. At least when you dust them, Buffy, they don't suffer.
• Robin Wood in Love you to the Moon and Back may have cheated on his girlfriend Faith with many of the younger Slayers but he never went after a girl under eighteen and always backed off if they turned him down. Though it is pointed out that the latter is less upstanding than it sounds as many of the girls came from third-world countries and weren't aware they could turn Robin down or that they weren't expected to "show their gratitude" via sex.

Calvin and Hobbes

• Calvin & Hobbes: The Series: Socrates is noted to have very few standards when it comes to pranks, one of which is serious injury (as in broken bones).

Captain Underpants

• Captain Underpants and the Harrowing Hostile Horror of Homophobia features both Krupp and Melvin demonstrating this trope. Krupp may hate the CU comics but when George and Harold make an issue with a monster based on internalized homophobia, he's genuinely worried that someone is harassing them and when Harold admits to struggling with the topic, the principal surprisingly gently tells Harold there's nothing wrong with him or the way he feels. Then when an alien ray gun brings the comic's monster to life based on Harold's internal struggles, Melvin not only encourages Harold by pointing out that homosexuality has been documented in numerous species, making it perfectly natural (even specifically citing dolphins, Harold's favorite animal, when asked) but when asked if he hates both Harold and his homosexuality, Melvin states "I don't like you, but just because you're annoying. Not because you're gay. That's just mean."

Code Geass

• Unlike canon, the students taking photos of the aftermath of the Shinjuku Massacre in The Black Emperor aren't excited by all the death and destruction but instead are horrified and are documenting things to keep Britannia from sweeping it under the rug.
  • Cornelia is shown to suffer night terrors from the civilians killed because of her refusal to negotiate with terrorists. She also makes a point of personally executing any rapists under her command.
• While Cornelia in The Black Princess and the White Knight is a Knight Templar Big Sister to Euphemia and considered executing Suzaku after initially thinking he forced himself onto her, she is baffled that the reason Euphie's upset is because Suzaku picked another girl to go to a ball at Ashford with, then ran off when Euphie demanded the girl's name so she can throw her to the dungeon (especially since Cornelia considers Suzaku beneath Euphie). Cornelia resigns to at least sent a few agents to find said girl's identity at Euphie's request, though considers it still above and beyond what she expects from her younger sister.
• In Code Geass: The Prepared Rebellion, Cornelia is mentioned by Lelouch to have personally sent her Royal Guard after a noble with 'questionable' tastes in bed partners.
• In Entropy, Tamaki is very uncomfortable with the various fanservice in the DVD of the events of Code Geass they're watching as the girls were generally underage at the time.
• None of the Black Knights in God's Gambit like the idea of Child Soldiers. Sugiyama openly states that the underage members of the Blood of the Samurai splinter group won't be fighting in the upcoming battle and Minami would've just left the remaining members to die if not for spotting teenagers as young as fourteen among their number.

Cross Ange

• In Cross Ange The Knight Of Hilda, a police officer named Schwartz chides his colleagues when some of them suggest raping Hilda after they beat her up, saying that not even a Norma deserves that. This act leads to Rio sparing his life even after he killed the other officers without hesitation.

D-J

Danganronpa

• Where Talent Goes to Die:
  • Hoshino is a brutally honest and rude individual who says some incredibly harsh and even cruel things to his fellow classmates, be they living or dead. However, he noticeably holds back when he's dealing with someone who's about to die, as he does with the first killer between their conviction and execution.
  • Kurogane, the Ultimate Shogi Player, is extremely bitter about Miura defeating him in shogi despite her never having played before, frequently sniping at her, refusing to accept her apologies and giving her a vicious "The Reason You Suck" Speech. In spite of his antipathy toward Miura, Kurogane points out that he wouldn't seriously consider killing her or anyone else.
  • In School Mode, Kurogane is willing to calm down enough to spend time with (and eventually reconcile with) Miura, partly because doing so is necessary to escape, and partly because he doesn't think even she deserves to be trapped inside the school, since everyone in question is unaware that the school was originally designated as a shelter from the Tragedy.
  • It turns out that since Talent High School was founded so that the people who established the school could send their children and relatives to a prestigious and exclusive high school, its admission standards are surprisingly lax, at least when it comes to anyone related to the board. That said, it's suggested that they do reject some of the more outlandish Ultimate candidates, such as one "Ultimate Pirate," even though said boy was the nephew of one of the board members.

Danny Phantom

• In Resurrected Memories, while Sam gets annoyed and jealous over Danny's deepening relationship with Amberline, she angrily rejects Paulina's suggestion that they team up to 'deal with' the issue, slapping her while declaring she'd never betray her friend.

Daredevil (2015)

• In Learn to Live With the Unimaginable, the Punisher has no problems gunning down people but throw a couple of Child Soldiers at him, and the man goes almost catatonic from shock and horror. For a man who treasured his own children to the point he completely lost it when he failed to save their lives, willingly breaking a kid into a weapon is THE Moral Event Horizon, and he spends the whole fic trying to protect both kids away from danger and giving them some shreds of normalcy by taking them to the arcade.

Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba

• Blade of Demon Salvation: While Tanjiro, Ukogi, and Shoichi are understandably not fond of Zenitsu's cowardly and overdramatic antics, they don't approve of the way Kaigaku treats him, showing disgust with his callous bullying and disregard of Zenitsu's well-being to the point they're not afraid to call him out on it and speak in Zenitsu's defense.

Doctor Who

• In The Choices of Earth, Jack makes it clear that there is to be no flirting with the Doctor while he and Martha are in the Hub, although Gwen wonders if that rule isn’t at least partly for Jack as well as for her and Ianto.

Doug

• Another Day in Bluffington Duology: For all of his worst traits, Roger was never homophobic. In fact, his old bullying tactics worked when he protected a gay couple who moved in to Bluffington from the local Homeowners' Association.

Dragon Ball

• Master Roshi in Legend of the Monkey God quickly becomes uncomfortable when he realizes Bulma was underaged when he was perving on her.

Encanto

• When Alma goes off on the kids for almost going into Bruno's room — a taboo thing to do in Casita Madrigal — in Guiding Light (AuroraRose2081), Mirabel is quick to stick up for them and is willing to take their punishment. Having been raised in an Orphanage of Fear, she thinks that she was going to beat them, something that appalls her family to no end.

Fairy Tail

• Juvia in the Anthology fic Tales of Fairies is just as madly in love with Gray as she is in the source material, but she absolutely won't put up with his more dickish behavior and will call him out whenever he holds the Jerkass Ball, such as when he took advantage of Natsu's naivety to play a cruel prank on him that got him beat up.

The Familiar of Zero

• In The Steep Path Ahead, pulling an I Surrender, Suckers is utterly despicable even to mercenaries. You might be fighting with or against your current opponents the next day so you have to be able to trust that they'll honor your surrender or guard your back in either situation.
• In Zero no Tsukaima: Saito the Onmyoji, even Headmaster Osmond finds the "Deflowering Punishment" abhorrent, and only includes it in Saito and Louise's master-apprentice contract because he has to. He notes that those who set the rules regarding such contracts were disgustingly perverted even by his standards.

Farscape

• In Left Behind, when Furlow purposes taking resources from the Leviathan Graveyard to fix Rohvu, Chiana expresses distaste at the idea of stealing from the dying, the rest of the crew making it clear that they may take parts from the dead but they will ask permission to take anything from a still-living Leviathan.

Fire Emblem

• In this Fire Emblem: Three Houses comic fandub, one strip imagines a situation in which Hubert, the Token Evil Teammate of the Black Eagles, serves as Dimitri's retainer instead of Edelgard. Despite being brutal and obsessed with revenge, even Dimitri thinks Hubert's going too far.
  Hubert: Yes, and then I can flay their skin off their still-living flesh as you dine to the sound of their screaming.
  Dimitri: Ok, calm down, Hubert.

Frozen (2013)

• Let the Storm Rage On does this frequently with Hans. He frequently lies, manipulates, cheats, and even kills for his goals, but he despises pointless cruelty and self-indulgence, either with greed or when he and Elsa are kidnapped and sexually molested by a Depraved Bisexual. He also frequently blasts the concept of Screw the Rules, I Make Them!.
• A Marriage Of Convenience: No matter how much Elsa, Anna, and Kristoff may hate Hans at first, they're utterly horrified by the abusive and sadistic manner his father and all but one of his brothers treat him.

Game of Thrones

• The Raven's Plan: Doran Martell hates the Lannisters, but even he feels sorry for them when he learns that Joanna Lannister was killed by the family's Maester (as part of a far-reaching conspiracy) and takes vindication in the knowledge that they'll soon have revenge for it.

Gargoyles

• In the original series, it has been established that gargoyle clans don’t place great importance on individual family ties, regarding eggs as part of the wider clan to the extent that they don’t keep track of which gargoyle laid which egg; Goliath’s daughter Angela only asks him to acknowledge her as such because she was raised by humans and has different views on the matter. However, the AU series Broken Mirror reveals that gargoyles do acknowledge family ties to a degree as they are instinctually aware when they might be about to engage in incest, such as an older and younger gargoyle experiencing discomfort at the thought of becoming involved to affirm that they are parent and child. This ensures that all of the Manhattan clan are revolted when they learn that Goliath’s clone Thailog created a clone of Angela and is using ‘Alegna’ as his sexual partner; it’s explicitly noted that Alegna is suffering from headaches as she is instinctually revolted at what she’s doing but doesn’t understand what’s wrong as Thailog obviously doesn’t care.
• In Kimberly T's Gargoyles, the clan’s new ally Father Sullivan may be a Catholic priest, but he tells Elisa of a time that he encouraged a woman to get a divorce from her husband because the man was so abusive he was certain she’d be killed otherwise.

Girls und Panzer

• In Boys und Sensha-dō!, Anchovy doesn't think much of Miho and is desperate to win against her to prove that her school's "not a joke", but she's horrified when Miho accidentally gets shot.

The Ghost and Molly McGee

• An Unpleasant Surprise:
  • While Scratch is cynical and can be unpleasant at times, he is appalled by Ashley's homophobia. The only reason he doesn't call her a more profane insult is because he doesn't want to swear in Molly's presence.
  • While Sharon was pissed at the Harris's for their homophobia, she was worried for them when she heard screaming from the other sides of the phone and only took comfort when she knew it was just Scratch scaring them, knowing he wouldn't physically hurt them.

Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation: Mo Dao Zu Shi / The Untamed

• In Second Bite of the Cherry, Lan Qiren might not have been Cangse Sanren's greatest fan but nonetheless refuses to let her daughter starve in the streets. The Lan elders also show reluctance at sending a little girl to a family in which she would be potentially abused — due to Yu Ziyuan's legendary hostility towards Cangse Sanren.

Halo

• Colonel Yang from Halo: the Art of War is an eccentric Bunny-Ears Lawyer of an engineer and lenient with Spearhead's antics, but even he thinks Serena is too nuts to be allowed Spartan augmentation, and he also had Thom-293 taken off Noble for pushing his luck too many times.

Hades

• In Death Insubstantial, Thanatos is turned mortal and a new Death takes his place. When Thanatos visits an old woman at the time of her death, her granddaughter begs him to stop Death from taking her soul; Thanatos is unmoved because he knows it is her time. However, he is horrified when the new Death reaps the girl's soul for annoying him, and calls him out for overstepping his bounds.

Harry Potter

• In And The Unethical Binding Contract', Harry gets involved in the Triwizard Tournament at eleven, and almost everyone is too horrified at the idea he'll have to compete in a tournament that had been originally suspended for the death toll'' to even consider he tried to get in on purpose (of the named characters, only Draco Malfoy seems to think it, but he's The Bully and eleven himself), to the point that Rita Skeeter (a notable Hate Sink in the source material) doesn't even consider to write any of her sensationalist stories on Harry, focusing instead on the fact Harry was somehow dragged in the tournament.
• In Apex Predator, while most Veela are shown talking about men as though they can only be "studs" fit for breeding, very few Veela go so far as to essentially reduce their chosen males to nothing but a means of sex. Even Genevieve, who has no problem using her allure to seduce Ron and Neville even when they're just teenagers, muses that she isn't that interested in a mindless slave and prefers someone she can at least superficially interact with.
• The Choices That Make Us: McGonagall mentions that, while Mad Eye Moody has some Knight Templar aspects, he was appalled to learn that the Hogwarts staff assumed he would have ever cast the unforgivable curses instead of students as a learning experience like his imposter Crouch did.
• In Corvine even Mad-Eye Moody is disturbed by Dumbledore's growing delusions and paranoia.
• Daphne Greengrass and the Boy Who Lived:
  • As much as Snape hates Sirius Black, when he actually sees Peter Pettigrew escape, Snape speaks in Sirius’s defence and helps to clear his name, realising that Pettigrew was the true traitor responsible for Lily’s death.
  • It's explicitly stated that Rita would go after anyone, but she avoids targeting wealthier wizarding families out of concern that she could be in danger if she wrote something too inflammatory. It is noted that this is likely the reason Rita is "targeting" Hermione as Harry's girlfriend rather than Daphne, as she knows the Greengrasses are wealthy enough to cause her trouble if she was too blatantly attacking their daughter.
    • After Fleur kisses Harry after the second task, the group speculate that Rita avoided writing anything about that because she doesn't want to be attacked by flaming bird-women.
  • It's noted that for all his paranoia and hatred of Death Eaters, Moody always preferred to bring his targets in alive, and disapproved of Crouch advocating the use of the Unforgivables against known enemies during the last war against Voldemort.
  • After seeing Umbridge send her forces to arrest Hagrid, even Hermione has no objection to Daphne talking amongst the group about more violent methods of dealing with Umbridge, even if Harry points out that they need to fight smarter to stop her.
  • Sirius affirms that even at their most careless, he and James always made sure they knew what a spell did before using it, convincing Harry to be more careful about practising the Half-Blood Prince's spells.
• “Different manor” features Harry being taken to Greengrass Manor during the hunt for the horcruxes, which leads to Daphne Greengrass explaining that there are actually are subtle differences between pure-bloods and muggle-borns in terms of their awareness of certain types of magic that justify some of the prejudices against them. However, Daphne makes it clear that even if she thinks muggle-borns don’t deserve to be considered equals the notion of the ‘Muggle-Born Registration Committee’ sentencing children to Azkaban is ridiculously excessive when they wouldn’t even understand what they did wrong (she’s less sympathetic to teens or adults claiming they’re at least half-bloods if they’re not, but that still requires a reasonable knowledge of magical culture to understand the significance of the lie).
• Finding A Place To Call Home: Hera may be a reaper who harvests souls, but when describing how the Dursleys treated Harry, she admits their actions disgusted other reapers as well. She also despises Dumbledore for his manipulations, even calling him a snake when she meets him the first time.
• For Love of Magic:
  • Fred and George Weasley back out of their relentless pranking of Malfoy despite being paid to do so, because they feel it's crossed the line into bullying and they're pranksters, not bullies.
  • Harry eventually grows into a borderline sociopath but even he finds some things abhorrent, the most notable being cognivores: creatures that devour thoughts until they leave you a vegetable. Not only is the concept horrific but the brains that were used to make them came from homeless people who were murdered for said brains.
  • In the AU spinoff For Love of Experimental Time Travel, Harry deliberately avoids trying to romance his three wives again after going back in time, insisting it'd be a disservice to both them and their analogues to do so. Not that it stops him from having a casual friends-with-benefits relationship with Fleur. Similarly, while using the enslaved Voldemort as a test for Hermione, Harry makes a point of keeping the man from killing anyone or doing any irreversible damage.
• When Ron is gifted a Nimbus 2000 in Holocron, he isn't worried about Fred and George messing with the broom because, to them, Quidditch is just too sacred.
• How Friendship Accidentally Saved Magical Britain: Fred and George Weasley admit to being a little amoral and consider the law to be "a bendable guideline that could be disregarded at one's own discretion", but even they consider Lockhart Obliviating people and taking credit for their achievements to be just wrong. So they successfully oust Lockhart by framing him for the basilisk's petrifications.
• In Just An Errant Thought Ron is put in Azkaban for slipping Harry a de-aging potion Ron purchased in Knockturn Alley. Once he's released, he sends a note to the Chudley Cannons begging for a job. Their reply is less than favorable.
  Oi, Weasley, learn the difference between merely losing games and being a loser. Even we have standards; don't bother us again.
• In A Light in the Dark, Hermione is actually a demon incarnated as a human trying to achieve redemption and has lost her sense of good eons before the incarnation, but even she is appalled at how Neville's relatives treated him to try and get his magic out. Also, one of the things demons retain from their past as angels is complete respect for pacts, or at least their letter, so she's quite vexed at the current status of house elves, as it's a complete corruption of the original pact that neither side is aware of anymore.
• In Lord of Darkness, while Harry freely acknowledges that he could be considered a 'Dark' Lord by certain criteria, he has never killed anyone who had not in some way caused or attempted to cause harm to himself or those he cares about.
• In The Power of Seven, despite becoming more comfortable 'showing off' for the seven girls in his current harem (Ginny, Hermione, Luna, Demelza Robbins, Susan Bones, Katie Bell, and Fleur), Harry is less comfortable deliberately putting on a show for Pansy Parkinson, even if he acknowledges that they're exaggerating to put her off-guard in their plan to Feed the Mole.

Hey Arnold!

• A Broken Heart:
  • In chapter 74, Overcoming Sort Of, Arnold discovers that Helga's family has moved out of their house and into one of his dad's beepers stores. When Voz told Arnold that Helga does not live there anymore because of the work of "a stubborn, prideful idiot," Arnold automatically assumes that Voz is referring to Drake. However, Voz, annoyed with Arnold, told him that even Drake couldn't do that much damage quickly, and he was actually talking about Helga's father, Big Bob. Even though Voz is obsessed with taking down Drake, even he was annoyed that Arnold jumped to that conclusion.
  • In chapter 80, Meddling and Fights, Arnold's parents may not have a positive opinion of Drake, mainly because of learning about his past, Arnold's biased opinions, and their concern that he could hurt Helga. However, they were shocked when Helga told them that her father threatened to beat Drake up and when Bob confirmed that he indeed did so, they angrily chastised him for threatening a child and dealt with him themselves.
  • In chapter 86, Arnold vs Helga Part II, when Helga and Arnold were arguing about Drake, Helga pointed out that Arnold got along with most people that wrong him in the past and asks why Drake is so different. When Arnold realizes that she was right, he fires back and says: And look where acting like that got us, Helga?! That kind of thinking nearly cost us our lives in San Lorenzo. I'm not letting bad people like Drake ever get close to the people I care about ever again!. Helga, after registering what he said, angrily retorted, You did not just compare Drake to LaSombra. As angry as he was, and despite his obsession with proving Drake is a bad guy, even Arnold had to admit that is a little too extreme of an accusation since, in Arnold's opinion, no one is as bad as LaSombra.
  • While arguing with Helga about throwing away her golden locket with his picture in it in chapter 94, Arnold unexpectedly kisses Helga. In chapter 95, when Arnold realizes what he was doing, he is shocked; Arnold admits to himself it is wrong to kiss Helga when she has a boyfriend even though he can't stand her boyfriend.

How to Train Your Dragon

• In The Blacksmith's Apprentice, while Berk may treat Hiccup harshly after he was disinherited following his failure in Dragon Training, in a 'talk' with Mildew Hiccup observes that he was still allowed to live in the village itself, whereas Mildrew was forced out of Berk.
• While most of Snotlout's more heinous qualities in Lost Boy are ignored or covered up, the last straw for everyone was when he turned one of the catapults (a device he has no experience or clearance using) and fires it into the village with claims that he was targeting dragons. Not only did this endanger the people in the village, but it also leaves the Thorstons homeless and the village forge unusable. It is implied that this was a direct attempt at killing Hiccup by making it look like an accident. Not even his father is on his side this time. The final nail in the coffin was driven when Snotlout threw Hiccup under the bus and had him be held hostage by Alvin when, as heir, it was his duty to the village to step in when Stoick was injured.
• In Prodigal Son, when Astrid asks Snotlout to teach for her in the Killing Arena, he agrees on the condition that she names him better than her at being a viking, a sailor, a skilled warrior, and a poet. It is not until he tries to get her to say that he is the best lay does she lose her patience, break his nose and force him to tell everyone in the Great Hall that they have never slept together before more or less forcing him to honor his side of the deal.
• When everyone thinks Hiccup and Zephyr both died in a raid in What Lies Beneath, Jerrik tactlessly remarks that mourning them isn't worth it and that Astrid's pregnancy secures an heir. While most of the village thought that Hiccup was a poor viking and Zephyr took after him more so than they had liked (even though she's only three years old), the look on everyone's faces makes it clear that his words are beyond appropriate. When Astrid responds with Unstoppable Rage, no one even thinks to stop her, Stoick stopping after she got a few hits in with a plank of wood first. When Jerrik tries to justify his words, various other villagers contradict him with kind words about them.

The Hunger Games

• The Parts We Play;
  • Even the relatively indifferent Capitol representatives at the Reaping sincerely hope the pregnant Katniss won't get Reaped this year.
  • Katniss recalls how one past Tribute who started eating his victims was killed by mutts, and speculates that the Capitol arranged for that as a cannibal as a Victor wouldn't be a good image.
  • When Katniss learns that the dead bodies of the Tributes are tended to by the Stylists, she is told that the duty was originally assigned to the Victors, but when legacy Tributes became a factor, even the Capitol realised that making parents tend to the dead bodies of their own children was asking too much of them.
• In the Valkyrie on Fire series, Enoboria is eventually established as having some limits despite her reputation; she might have killed in a brutal manner in the Games, but she makes it clear to Katniss and Glimmer's allies that she only kills when she has to, and is willing to work with others she can trust.

Invader Zim

• Asylum of Doom: Gaz may not be a very nice girl, but when she and Dib are exploring the ruins of the Burke Lunatic Asylum, she shudders at the thought of patients being chained to the wall and hosed down with cold water.
• Gaz's Horrible Halloween of Doom: Even though she hates Iggins, Gaz doesn't stoop to mugging him for his Mondo Deluxe Poop Candy Bar, and simply asks him where he got it. She does, however, throw him down the street for making fun of her fairy costume and calling her "Tinker Bell".
• Invader Zim: A Bad Thing Never Ends:
  • Played With. Skoodge doesn't like fighting children (specifically Dib and Gaz) but does so anyway at Zim's orders due to being loyal to him.
  • Bob and the Announcer don't like Zim, but are still horrified when they learn just how badly Red and Purple bullied him when they were all younger, to the point that Zim's mind has apparently blanked out the worst of it.
• Misery Loves Company: Hecate admits that she wanted to punish Gaz the instant that the girl shoved her, but restrained herself as, seeing as they were at a cemetery at the time, Gaz's rage could have come from grief and Hecate didn't want to punish a grieving child. Once she sees that Gaz is always that nasty, that's when she starts her revenge plan.
• Top of the Line (Editor-Bug): Tenn is offended by Tak cheating in the tournament by sabotaging the other Invaders' SIRs in the first story, seeing it as making her unworthy of being an Invader.
• The Violet Demon:
  • Gaz normally has a Lack of Empathy and wouldn't care about Velinda being chased by the Fornaxians, but the idea of sexual slavery disgusts her enough to actually try to help.
  • Zim takes a Totalitarian Utilitarian view towards slavery as a matter of Might Makes Right, but looks down on sex slavery as a step too far.

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure

• Things Are Gonna Get Easier: Okuyasu tells Hayato that while the Morioh crew has a tendency to invite former enemy Stand users into their group, naming himself as one such example, they don't extend that courtesy to the more villainous ones like Angelo and Akira Otoshi. He also adds they were never planning to forgive Yoshikage Kira for his years as a Serial Killer, planning to have him locked away for his crimes at the least and potentially removing his murderous urges with Rohan's Heaven's Door.

K-M

KanColle

• Ambience: A Fleet Symphony:
  • Damon is very lax as far as discipline is concerned, but even he draws the line at the ship girls physically coming to blows with each other.
  • Kasumi is far from a fan of Damon, but the antipathy Akebono demonstrates in chapter 280 is so great that even she thinks it's going too far.
• In The Greatest Generation, Dakota may be an incorrigible prankster with a malfunctioning filter, but in chapter ten even she realises that she might have gone too far.

Kim Possible

• In The New Kid, Bonnie had set up a plan where Josh Mankey would seduce Kim in his car, videotape the encounter, and post it on the Internet to embarrass Kim. However, when Kim reveals the next day that Josh basically tried to assault her before she fought him off, Bonnie is clearly horrified, making it clear that the plan was based on the idea that Kim would want to have sex with Josh and assault was never part of it.

The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen

• In LXG 2: Above & Beyond, the League officially resign from the service of the British Government when they learn that the Martians were defeated using an artificial disease that would have killed any humans still in the 'danger zone'.

Lilo & Stitch

• In The Final Straw, Yuki, Teresa and Elena are still bullies as teenagers, but shocked at Mertle for mocking Lilo's dead parents.

The Loud House

• Anger Management:
  • Lana might be grody, but even she doesn't like to use the toilet in front of Lincoln.
  • Luan is an overzealous prankster, but she'd never prank someone as revenge or to try to make them mad.
• In An April Advisory, the Loud siblings don't like Luan's April Fool's pranks, but they're all horrified when Luna viciously beats up Luan in retaliation for pulling one of those pranks on her despite Luna specifically asking her not to. Leni and Lynn even rushed into the fight in order to keep Luna from injuring Luan even more.
• Flowing Star: While Liberty is a snarky Jerk with a Heart of Gold who always makes jokes at the expense of others, she recognized she went too far by insulting Stella and wants to apologize to her.
• The Fool Who Cried Foul: Luan may go overboard with her pranks sometimes, especially on April Fool's Day. However, pranks meant to put people in danger are off-limits for her and her more potentially dangerous pranks have some kind of fail-safe to prevent victims of those pranks from being harmed. She gets disturbed when a Loony Fan of her prank channel, LuanFan41/ Suzanne Hedger dedicated several harmful pranks to her on her own prank channel. When that pranking spree eventually culminates into a fake bomb threat at Beaverton High, Luan makes a public statement on her prank channel condemning the whole incident and reports LuanFan41 to the authorities, which gets her prank channel deleted.
• In A Load of Bulk, Lisa is fine with experimenting on animals but terminates the experiments when she sees they're in pain.
• Losing Him: According to Lana, even Flip is disgusted with the Louds for kicking Lincoln out of the house because they believed he was bad luck, especially since Lincoln was shot by a mugger as a result.
• In Mall Rats (TLH), Lincoln is said to break promises sometimes, but never a promise made on Christmas.
• One Girl with Ten Brothers: In Chapter 21, paranormal expert Lars is wary of finding La Llorona after he overhears Robbie Dan tell the legends to Linka.
• In What You Wish For, while Lori Loud does admit to disliking Carol Pingrey and wanting her to always live in her shadow, she would never physically hurt Carol.

Love Hina

• For His Own Sake:
  • The headmistress of St. Clavius Academy does not have a good opinion of Seta and called him out on his uselessness in disciplining his own child and shoving the responsibility off onto her and the school. But still, she feels pity for him when Sarah disowns him as a father and feels disgust for Sarah viewing her as a hopeless child, and vows to make her see the mistake she made.
  • Naru's mother Saori admits to Naru she does not have a great relationship with her ex-husband Naru's father Ushio, but she tells Naru she was disgusted with the way she treated him and tells her she understands why he did not take her (Naru) in.

Love Live!

• Making Rainbows Bloom: Kasumi Nakasu prides herself on being the cutest idol, but she tells Shizuku that, despite the actress's expectations, she won't demean herself with a Character Catchphrase.
  Kasumi: Absolutely not! I’m cute not cringe!
• Mari Ohara from Love Live! Sunshine!! is a rather eccentric and playful girl. However, in this fancomic for Hanamaru Kunikida's birthday, she is baffled that Karin Asaka's gift for Hanamaru's KFC birthday is a "cake" made from chicken, mash potatoes, and gravy, since the restaurant didnt have any normal cake.
  Mari: A cake made from KFC food... that's absurb, even for me.

Lucifer (2016)

• In City of Sin, while Lucifer has no problem basically having sex in public (or at least not bothering to hide what he's doing if anyone sees him, for example, getting a blowjob on a balcony in Lux), he makes it clear that if Chloe brings his sister-angel Azrael into her planned harem via Azrael's relationship with Ella, Lucifer himself has no interest in having sex with the other angel as he draws a personal line at incest.

Marvel Cinematic Universe

• In The Alternate Timeline, when Tony learns that the Winter Soldier killed his parents, he admits that he’s initially enraged at the revelation of who he’s helping Steve rescue, but he still recognizes that Bucky doesn't deserve his current situation. Tony even refuses Steve's offers to house Bucky somewhere else after saving him from HYDRA as he knows the Tower is best suited for them, with his only request being to not to have to actively interact with Bucky all the time while processing his feelings.
• I Hope You Have Unlimited Text Messaging:
  • Tony is incensed when he learns that SHIELD elected to tell Steve about his seventy-eight-year-old half-sister that he never knew existed via dossier, instead of telling him in person and easing him into it.
  • Likewise, Steve, while understanding, is not happy to learn that Tony's parents sent him off to boarding school without telling him why. After all, it's one thing to hide from your adult friend/love interest that their long-dead parents were murdered by terrorists, especially when you learned about the information while in the middle of a crisis. It's another to send them off to boarding school without telling them that someone was making repeated attempts to murder their father, that their Honorary Aunt was a casualty of one of these attempts, and that they're terrified of him being a casualty of another. He's also not happy to learn that Peggy was complicit in this.
• In If I Could Start Again, Odin admits that he sealed away Hela rather than kill her because, despite all she'd done, he couldn't bring himself to kill his own daughter. As such, Odin confesses that if he'd realized Laufey had left his own infant son to die, he'd have broken the peace treaty with Jotunheim before the ink had finished drying.
• Legacy (DocSuess):
  • Since Peter released his video, Stark Industry's stock plummets like crazy, the idea that the face of their company was an Abusive Parent being a worse image than when he shut down their weapons program.
  • Rhodey, Happy, and Pepper all turn on Tony when they see how cold and callous he is in regard to Peter.
• In The Other Side (memoriaeterna) - looking at a world where the other half of the universe was the victim of the Snap - Jameson's efforts to slander Spider-Man become so extreme that his lawyer resigns on the grounds that he finds Jameson's actions too morally repugnant.
• Wanda Maximoff of all people defends Tony Stark in Sam Councils Communication when she learns that Steve hid that Tony's parents were murdered. Despite her own dislike of Tony, dead parents hit too close to home for her.
• In So Wrong, Nick Fury himself admits that he's not a good person (which is somewhat of an Understatement), but even he is troubled when he finds out that Carol Danvers is obsessed with Peter Parker, who is less than half her age.
• In Wanda Does Therapy, a Recursive Fanfiction for World War Me, Wanda Maximoff still dislikes Tony Stark for the role he played in her parents' death, but she admits to her therapist that she finds it extremely unfair to Tony to make him house Bucky Barnes. She had trouble living in the same building as Tony and he merely designed the bomb that killed her parents; Bucky was actually present and the one who killed Tony's parents (albeit while brainwashed). So why is it okay for her to avoid Tony but not okay for Tony to avoid Bucky?

Marvel Universe

• A Crooked Man: While Wolverine is happy to know that the Purifiers are no more thanks to Johann, he admits that he is very put off with how Johann fatally dealt with them, stating that it was too intense for him.

Miraculous Ladybug

• Alya and the Harem Reality:
  • While Trixx likes his chaos, Alya drinking unholy amounts of coffee to try to stimulate lost timeline memories when left alone for two days went badly enough to worry the Kwami. Especially when the sheer amount of coffee in Alya's system was starting to give Trixx a boost just by being near his human partner.
  • While Aurore and Mireille are hosts who need to put on shows and crown winners and losers, they are not as mean about it as Alec tends to be and they legit feel bad that Simon didn't just get the incredibly rude Tomoe as his challenge, but that he never could have hypnotized her in the first place (they outright checked the rule book to see if they had to count it, and were unhappy to admit they had to).
  • Chloé might be a Clingy Jealous Girl towards Marinette and doesn't want Kagami to get closer and join Marinette's harem, but she definitely wants to get Kagami away from her mother Tomoe.
• Crimson and Noire:
  • While Plagg has a strong disdain for Ladybugs thanks to past wielders mistreating their partner Black Cats and assumes Crimson Beetle will do the same despite evidence otherwise, he is glad that Lady Noire saved Adrien from falling to death during the Gorizilla event. This is on the basis that, one, Adrien is still a kid; two, he hasn't done anything to Marinette yet; and three, he knows that losing a chosen so young would devastate Tikki.
  • Even though he was the reason she was akumatized in the first place, Aurore takes no pleasure over seeing Alec being mistreated by the people in Paris over his akumatization.
  • While Gabriel will blacklist and sue anyone that made homophobic comments towards his son dating Luka, he turns down Nathalie's suggestion of her akumatizing a supporter of the couple to get a voice out, partially out of fear that lingering anti-akuma sentiment could lead to a backlash against the LGBT community.
• Everything You Deserve: After Adrien steals the Ladybug Earrings and makes a series of selfish Wishes on the combined Miraculi, he finds himself in a new reality where all of his Wishes were granted in ways he didn't expect. Among these differences is that Chloé has the Earrings and is his devoted girlfriend and partner in crime, as he wanted a world where he could do as he pleased with his powers. However, despite being a doting and eager lover, Chloé does start to question and second-guess her partner when Adrien starts escalating his villainous behavior, especially when he orders her to stop using her Miraculous Cure to wipe away the effects of their crime sprees.
• Fashion Upgrade: Even though Lila nearly ruined the class play by vanishing at the last minute with a "rash" (actually anti-shoplifter ink that squirted on her when she tried to tamper with the costumes for Mendeleiev's class's fashion show), her classmates refrain from calling her out on live television, tastefully leaving out any mention of the near catastrophe on the big day. In addition, Kim claims they had to cancel their catering service to stay on budget because Adrien's busy schedule forced him to back out as the male lead, not because of Lila convincing Miss Bustier to switch her into the lead role simply because she wanted to hog the spotlight.
• Feralnette AU: Despite being fully aware that Lila 'has trouble with the truth', Alya constantly downplays and dismisses the impact of her Malicious Slander, claiming that others need to be more mindful of her "lying disease". However, when Lila learns that Felix is nonbinary, she immediately threatens to "take her concerns" about them to the school board unless they give in to her demands. This proves to be far beyond Alya's ability to rationalize away, and she immediately calls Lila out.
• Fox Rain: Chloé is her usual Alpha Bitch self but still has it in herself to try and foil an (ineffective) attempt from an unknown bully to get Lila akumatized.
• In HBBIC (Head Bitches & Bastard In Charge), Marinette is still mad at Adrien for refusing to do anything about Lila out of fear that he might get hurt if he tried. However, when she learns that Lila is sexually harassing him, she does her best to help him out. She even notes to herself that if Lila was dealing with the same thing, she'd help her in a heartbeat.
  It doesn't mean she'll be friends with him again, but you need to, no matter how much that person irritates you, help them when they are being sexually harassed.
• The Karma of Lies:
  • While Adrien is perfectly willing to let Lila con his classmates, he doesn't really approve of what she's doing. He simply thinks that it's not worth risking his own reputation by telling his friends something they don't want to hear, coupled with grossly underestimating the amount of damage she's doing.
  • Zig-Zagged with the Hawkmoth situation. While Adrien recognizes that his father was wrong and deserves to be punished for his crimes, he seeks to lessen those charges...and when he learns the full extent, tries to argue that he shouldn't be held accountable since so much of the damage was erased by the Miraculous Cure. It's the latter part that further ruins his already-damaged reputation.
  • Despite being angry with Adrien and her classmates for being Fair-Weather Friends, Marinette agrees that none of them deserved to be conned by Lila. Not even Adrien, who knew exactly what he was dealing with and still trusted her. The main reason she ultimately refuses to help him deal with the situation is that he acts entitled to it, showing that he still hasn't learned anything.
• Karmic Backlash: In this Recursive Fanfiction to The Karma of Lies, Adrien's former classmates finally decide he is not worthy of the "Asshole Victim" card when he becomes distraught at the living hell his life has become^note being Mistaken for Terrorist because he is Hawk Moth's son, penniless because Lila stole all of the Agreste fortune, handed over to his aunt who is mistreating him until he turns eighteen and with nothing to look forward to but becoming homeless once she cuts him loose at said age and decides to kill himself. They all decide that they are still sore over what he did but they just cannot stand how far he has fallen and decide to help him.
• Leave for Mendeleiev: Alya's more than happy to risk her own life chasing after stories and Ladybug's Secret Identity. However, she balks at the prospect of dragging anyone else into danger. When Nino wants to exploit Mylene's akumatization by casting Horrificator as the monster in the movie he's making, she calls him out over it.
• Marinette's Week Off: Most of Marinette's classmates proved themselves to be Fair-Weather Friends who only cared about taking advantage of all the favors and help she offered them while giving nothing in return. Alya is especially vocal about how she has no intention of mending fences with her, even if Marinette starts "acting nice" (read: letting them exploit her generosity) again... until they learn that Marinette has started a career in acting and modeling. Alya abruptly starts trying to call her "bestie"; when Juleka remarks on her abrupt about-face, Alya makes no attempt whatsoever to hide that she just wants to exploit Marinette's newfound connections. The rest of the class regards her with varying levels of disgust; even her boyfriend Nino frowns at her.
• To Save a Friend:
  • Discussed by Marinette and Tikki when the latter suggests that Alya might be abusing Nino. Marinette doesn't want to believe that Alya could go so far, or that Lila could be encouraging her, stating that "I know Lila's terrible and just a flat-out liar, but even she'd be against any form of abuse! ...Right?" Sadly, it turns out that Marinette's hopes are wrong.
  • Chloé outright admits that she's a bully, but the moment she spots a bruise on Nino's arm, she snaps a photo and throws all her support into exposing the awful truth and taking Alya and Lila down.
• Scarlet Lady: In this AU, Chloe (due to stealing it from Marinette's purse as "punishment") ends up with the Ladybug Miraculous. She uses her role as Scarlet Lady to simply get attention and take credit for the defeats of the akumas (which Cat Noir usually has to defeat single-handedly). Because Miraculous Ladybug can repair any damage or restore any lives lost during an akuma battle, Scar does the bare minimum during fights and even dares some akumas to kill their hostages. Anyone (even akumas and Hawk Moth) who see what she's actually like in person agree that Scarlet Lady is the worst.
• True Colors: Tikki was willing to enter her true form and terrify Lila into confessing her lies to protect her weilder Marinette, but she's horrified when Plagg does the same thing and threatens to eat her soul for how wicked she's been, especially as the outright terror causes Lila to ramble about every lie she ever told in her life.
  Tikki: I can’t believe I’m saying this, but that poor [Lila]!
  Plagg: Eh, she deserved it.
  Tikki: She deserved a lot of things, but I think you went too far.
• The Wolves in the Woods:
  • Contrary to her usual portrayal in Salt Fics, this incarnation of Lila is horrified at how severely the class turns against Marinette, attempting to mitigate the damage done by her lies and set things right.
  • Downplayed with Gabriel, who is mostly frustrated by how his son's involvement reflects poorly upon him. Highlighted best when Adrien tells Kagami that he only dated her due to her resemblance to Ladybug; while sincerely shocked and disgusted, when he apologizes to Tomoe, he's primarily concerned about whether this impacts their business relationship. He's also eager to exploit Kagami's heartbreak via akumatization.
  • Chloé insists that she still doesn't care for Dupain-Cheng, yet was appalled by how the rest of the class treated her. Similarly, while she dislikes how her new tutor Salomon won't let her get away with her usual tricks, she's horrified when she witnesses him busting his hand open by punching a heavily armored akuma.
  • While the rest of the class hates Lila after learning how she deceived them, the only one who believes that she should die for it is Alya. When she rants about how she wishes a former "victim" of Lila had successfully strangled her to death, her peers are deeply disturbed.
    • Alya's Moral Myopia also means that she doesn't see anything wrong with the idea of maliciously slandering Marinette's new friends at St. Catherine's. The rest of the class disagrees, and are especially appalled by her thinking that being Delicate and Sickly or homeless are "proof that they aren't worthy" of being Marinette's friends. It's at that point that the class cuts all ties with her.

My Hero Academia

• MHA Alternate Universe: Embers:
  • The HPSC President may be a Jerkass, but she is downright disgusted with Eraserhead's Trigger-Happy expulsions (one of her relatives committed suicide because of it), his attempts to ruin Izuku's life to allow his pet project into heroics, and his blatant disregard for the mental well-being of the students he Mind Screwed for his own amusement.
  • The reporter overhearing Bakugou say Izuku should've killed himself like he demanded is horrified at this revelation. Upon investigating, he is even more horrified at what he found.
  • The public is outraged that Sir Nighteye wants Izuku to hand over Eri so she can go back to Overhaul, a S-rank villain who was experimenting on her. They are also pissed with Kirishima when he says that Izuku deserved what Bakugou did to him, demanding his expulsion and blacklisting from heroics.
• For the Want of a Nail Series:
  • Deku? I think he's some pro...:
    • The various underground heroes are appalled by how Izuku's treated by Bakugou.
    • Izuku's classmates express discomfort at performing the Quirk assessment since the lowest-performing student will be expelled and Izuku doesn't have a Quirk, though they rescind their objections when it's pointed out some of them don't have Quirks that would help them during said assessment anyway.
    • When All Might gives his reasons why he thinks Izuku should not be in UA, all of his fellow teachers could not help but be horrified and disgusted by the Symbol of Peace. Aizawa in particular storms out of the room because he "didn't need the murder of the number one hero on his resume".
    • When Izuku casually responds to death threats that he has been given due to being desensitized to them, the rest of Class 1-A react in horror, both to Izuku being threatened and Izuku's lack of a reaction.
  • Viridian: The Green Guide: Bakugou is completely disgusted when Aldera's principal suspends Izuku for getting beaten to the point of his arm being broken. It helps solidify his Heel Realization.
  • Cheat Code: Support Strategist: Izuku's fellow support students are disgusted that he used to get in trouble for reporting discrimination back at his middle school, whilst Power Loader assures him that UA staff actually follow their policies.
• Haigha: Midnight is known for acting flirty and making questionable comments; however, she makes clear that she'd never intentionally seduce any of her students. When Izuku shows that he's grown more confident after training with Miruko, she's delighted to have somebody who's willing to banter back, but also firmly establishes that she sees him and his peers as children.
• As much as Bakugo loves to swear in Heaven's Eye, even he won't do it in front of Eri.
• No matter how much of an abusive parent Endeavor is, even he won't stoop so low as to harm (what he thinks is) an innocent cat in Izuku's Catsuki. His son Shoto takes advantage of this when he is turned into a cat by Izuku, pretty much getting away with clawing and destroying his father's stuff without fear of punishment.
• Crops up several times in One for All and Eight for the Ninth:
  • The vestiges of One For All are quick to call out Izuku and Bakugo's relationship as toxic and go out of their way to try and break him away from it. The Second and Third holders of One For All in particular are disgusted that Izuku was bullied for being Quirkless due to coming from an era where the opposite happened and they know full well how much it hurts to be on the receiving end.
  • The entire U.A. staff is sickened by Bakugo's bullying of Izuku and Mineta's perverted actions.
  • Even Bakugou is put off by Mineta's perversions and is tempted to just blow him up, but restrains himself due to being on probation.
  • Kaminari brings up that someone put a peeping hole to the girls' locker room, which everyone agrees he should report to the teachers immediately.
  • Pretty much the entirety of 1-A and 1-B are disgusted with Bakugo over learning that he bullied Izuku for being Quirkless, including Monoma who's the most confrontational with 1-A.
  • Both Izuku and Tsuyu immediately enter Tranquil Fury upon learning that Toru's hero costume doesn't incorporate DNA-encoded material, that she's genuinely naked, and that apparently no one even bothered to suggest the idea.
  • Kaminari may be a pervert, but even he is disgusted with Mineta groping Momo.
• POWER!!: An origin story: Despite hating Izuku and constantly belittling him, even Bakugo feels no one deserves to have been in an orphanage for as long as Izuku has (about 8 years). Bakugo is also pleasantly surprised to find out Izuku had been adopted and congratulates him (albeit still telling him to stay away from U.A.).
• In The Reason Why All for One has 69 Endurance Quirks, upon learning that all of 1A and 1B are the children of All For One, Mineta breaks down crying because "all of the girls are now out of the game". Izuku notes it's oddly reassuring that Mineta isn't willing to hit on relatives.
• Think Before You Speak:
  • Chitose is a member of the Meta Liberation Army's Propaganda Machine and is more than happy to twist the truth to her own ends. Yet when Tensei blames Midoriya for his little brother being injured during a training exercise at U.A., she doesn't go after the kid. Instead, she notes how odd it is for Tensei to be naming names in a case involving students, as well as how he only singled out Midoriya.
  • The Hero Commission is certainly shady, but they also disapprove of Tensei's outburst, and immediately start investigating Aizawa's unprofessional conduct as well.
  • While this is pre-Character Development Endeavor, even he wouldn't condone Tensei's behavior nor the effects it would have on Midoriya, causing him to speak out in Midoriya's support when reporters question him thanks to his son being in the same class. He's also appalled to learn that Aizawa was favoring a student who got in entirely on Villain Points over a student who got in entirely on Rescue Points, as he considers the former to be infinitely more alarming.
  • Generally speaking, this drives the whole plot. Aizawa assumed that Midoriya would be Convicted by Public Opinion, only to find that the bulk of the backlash hits him and Tensei instead, as many are appalled at their treatment of a child and a student in his care.
• Tooth and Nail: In 'All Might's Reckoning', Aizawa is giving him a massive What the Hell, Hero? for what he did to Izuku, keeping him locked out of the loop, giving poor advice, not calling Gran Torino sooner among other things. However, upon asking if he thought All for One was still alive when he had given Izuku One for All, All Might adamantly refuses, knowing that if All for One was still alive back when he gave Izuku One for All, he wouldn't have done so.
• In When Reason Fails, as much as Izuku loves Himiko, he has to draw a line for her and explicitly tells her she cannot kill people for fun. She can kill in self-defence, or to avoid starvation, but that's it.
• Played for Laughs in Worm For All when Best Jeanist thinks Izuku is taking drugs.
  Izuku: No I did not do drugs! It's upsetting that my own father would think I'd do something like that. I would never do drugs! Murder? Yes. Treason? Most definitely if it meant I would rule over. But drugs? Who do you take me for?

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic

• A Diplomatic Visit:
  • Pinkie Pie shocks Twilight by revealing there's a group she won’t throw a party for. The group in question is a pony-supremacist one - racists who hate all non-ponies.
  • In chapter 6 of the sequel Diplomat at Large, while the Powers are being discussed, Discord mentions he found someone who'd make a good future Lady of Lies, except for one thing - she's a complete and utter sociopath, and he doesn't want her associated with him. Diplomacy Through Schooling reveals that he was referring to Cozy Glow.
• The Ending of the End - Love and Tolerance Edition After the heroes are forced into an Enemy Mine type situation with The Legion of Doom, Rainbow Dash is among the most skeptical and unhappy about their new allies. But when it's suggested that they immediately turn on the villains as soon as the greater threat has been delt with, before they have a chance to do the same, Rainbow immediately buts in and shoots the idea down. Making it clear she wouldn't stand for her friends and other allies being the betrayers, regardless of not trusting their new "allies" herself.
• Her Inner Demons:
  • Rainbow Dash is a meat-headed jock, but she resents people who stare their nose down at people for being smart.
  • The Shadowbolts may be hypercompetitive jerks, but they were horrified and sympathetic to Twilight when she revealed Cinch blackmailed her.
• Molestia is very much an anything-that-moves type, and does quite a few that don't move, but she does have a few fetishes she doesn't engage in, such as vore or necrophilia, and won't violate those who are underage.
• In Loved and Lost, Twilight Sparkle is manipulated by Prince Jewelius into losing her trust and respect toward her friends, brother, and Princess Celestia in retaliation of their treatment of her during the course of "A Canterlot Wedding". She supports Jewelius when he's Equestria's king against her former loved ones who are now pariahs. Fortunately, despite having given up on them, she takes no satisfaction from their misfortunes, hates seeing Shining Armor being flogged (despite disowning him the previous night) and tries to speak on his behalf, and when Celestia gives her a heartfelt apology while facing the gallows, she starts protesting against the hanging of the fallen princess. Before Twilight comes to her senses and reconciles with her former loved ones, she doesn't exactly agree with the way Jewelius seems to become obsessed with ruining their lives to the point of making the entire town of Ponyville suffer for their mistakes and doing nothing for the escaped Changeling army.
• The Pieces Lie Where They Fell:
  • In the sequel Picking up the Pieces, Night Blade's brother Deep Blade admits that he may flirt and sleep around, but not with women who are already in committed relationships.
  • Discord may technically be a villain who committed all sorts of acts in the name of Chaos, but nopony's ever died because of him, and he's disgusted by what Balance did having led to Lamella Armor the Ninth's death.

N-Y

Naruto

• Kurama from Blackkat's Reverse openly admits to being a bloodthirsty monster - actually more of a Jerk with a Heart of Gold, but still a Humanoid Abomination without any qualms regarding threatening people to eat their corpses. He thinks Itachi is fucked up.
• The Last Prayer:
  • Zabuza refuses to simply steal back his sword from Naruto because the genin won it fair and square, instead insisting on challenging him again for it.
  • The fourth Raikage is so disgusted by "The Monster Study" that he immediately defunds it and would've had the two running it arrested or executed if their popularity didn't make it impossible.
  • Oyashiro is a largely amoral merchant who literally sold his own mother for an exotic animal. However, he's upset with Tenten's father for trying to sell something that didn't belong to him.
• Naru-Hina Chronicles: In Chapter 89, Naruto tells Hinata a story from when he was a kid. One day, some mother pushed him away when he tried to befriend her kids at a park. However, Naruto was right next to some stairs, and pushing him resulted in him being knocked down those stairs and getting injured in the process. Later on, the mother apologized to him, as she didn't mean to knock him down those stairs.
• In Vapors even the epic Dirty Old Man Jiraiya refuses to perve on his god-daughter Aiko. Naruto's Aiko-based Sexy no Jutsu actually disgusts him, and he cringes away from her breasts when he needs to examine a seal on her chest.

Neon Genesis Evangelion

• The Child of Love: Gendo had done plenty questionable or horrible things, but in this story he mixes Asuka's LCL with hormone-boosters so that she has sex and gets pregnant -despite being only thirteen-. Then he modifies her foetus genetically in order to create a new Super-Soldier lifeform he plans to use as a weapon as soon as Asuka gives birth... additionally, Asuka may die when she delivers her baby, who is accidentally his granddaughter, but Gendo does not care. Everyone is so disgusted and sickened with him -including his lover, his right hand and his puppet who had helped him loyalty until then- that they turn against him. Even Rei -who had been absolutely and unconditionally faithful to him- said she rather obey Misato because she was "more human".
• Kaworu in Neon Metathesis Evangelion is furious over being forced to kill Lelliel while the latter is retreating. After doing so, he kills the man who ordered him to do so.

Odd Squad

• Olive's Last Partner:
  • Olive, for being a Jerk with a Heart of Gold, is a Jerkass to Oscar. She belittles him, she gives him grief both mentally and verbally, and she absolutely hates his guts to the point where some of her hatred may border on her being completely petty. However, she has sympathy for him when he's at risk of getting fired from Odd Squad because, while she won't admit it, she's not so mean as to abandon him when he needs help.
  • Otto is a Big Eater who can stomach most anything and has the appetite to match. His only known limit, however, is egg salad pizzas, as he gets sick and starts vomiting after eating just one-and-a-half of them out of over thirty.

One Piece

• Coby's Choice:
  • Even several members of the New Fishman Pirates flinch over making Luffy and Nami's son Ace cry. Shame over making any child cry transcends species.
  • Rum is an Ax-Crazy Blood Knight, but he's still dumbfounded to realize that Hody's anti-human campaign is being done solely For the Evulz since he feels that this kind of violence should have a reason for it.
  • Ain is horrified when she realizes she almost used her age-regression powers on Ace, who due to his young age would have been erased from existence.
  • Grace is no fan of the World Government's laws, but as a chemist she acknowledges how dangerous NHC10 is and respects the ban on it, saying that even if she had a full lab to work with, she would never use it.
• Crossed Lines: Because Zoro wasn't present at Shells Town, Helmeppo's wolf savaged Rika. Helmeppo himself was so horrified that he ordered his men to kill said wolf and has never returned to town since, all while sending money to pay for Rika's medical bills.
• This Bites!:
  • Soundbite is a prankster who doesn't care a whit about being racist with the voices he gives to other animals. He does, however, have the decency to be sensitive and somber when it comes to matters involving death. Notable is his utter disgust when Vice Admiral Onigumo orders a battleship destroyed in hopes of killing Luffy.
  • Christmas brings out the best in everybody; the Baroque Works agents call a truce with the Little Garden giants (albeit at Miss Goldenweek's…insistence), Kohza and Cobra acknowledge a Christmas truce, heck, even Crocodile gets in on it by spending an extortionate amount of money to buy Robin a gift. The only one who's not shown being kinder is Doflamingo...and even he's a small step above his typical tyranny for those who know his true colors.
  • Cross himself is an adrenaline junkie that laughs in the face of near-death, but even he freaks out when he sees a ghost ship worthy of Davy Jones (complete with Soundbite-assisted theme music).
  • Cross and the Straw Hats are willing to do anything to save Merry... except agree to B.R.O.B.'s suggestion of the Ivankov treatment.
  • Boss, Manly Dugong that he is, balks at the idea of jumping into an abyss and landing on an arcing Rocketman to cross the gap to the Tower of Justice.
  • Cross normally just laughs at Luffy's stupidity... but when it transcends the Shonen genre, he completely loses it.
  • Sengoku hates Akainu and his methods and would've tossed him into Level Six of Impel Down years ago — unfortunately, the ever-growing number of pirates means that Akainu's monstrous strength is needed, much to his regret, as he admits to Tsuru and even Akainu himself.

Persona

• In Queen of Hearts, Makoto Niijima and her sister/legal guardian Sae have an even more strained relationship than in canon, since Sae is shorter tempered and more prone to arguing with Makoto in this fic. Things don't get any better when Sae ends up having to interrogate Makoto, who's the leader of the Phantom Thieves in this fic. However, Word of God states that Sae would never consider physically harming Makoto, even in a fit of anger.

Pirates of the Caribbean

• In The Curse of the White Sword, while the upper crust might secretly frown upon a gentlewoman becoming engaged to a lower-class blacksmith, Governor Swann earns greater disapproval when he gives new arrival Sir Reginald Hamilton permission to try and court Elizabeth just because Will hasn't been able to afford a ring yet, considering that he already gave his approval of Will courting Elizabeth and had no right to go back on his word.

Pokémon

• In "Ash's Adventure: Girls' Hunter Edition", while PokeGirl May has a very active sex drive and enjoys having sexual encounters with various girl (and the occasional male, such as Ash), when she learns that Alolan PokeGirls are even encouraged to be willing to have sex with their own parents, May quickly acknowledges that she has no interest in that kind of sexual activity.
• Pokémon: A Marvelous Journey: Lakeisha Knowles constantly bullies her little sister Merlin because she's on the Autism Spectrum, and it eventually escalates into Lakeisha videotaping one of Merlin's meltdowns on her phone without anybody else's knowledge or permission so she could spread it around and make people think she's a Spoiled Brat. However, she only texts the video to her friends because she thought that posting it on the internet would be taking it too far. It winds up saving Lakeisha from an even worse punishment when all of said friends are disgusted with Lakeisha for violating Merlin's privacy like that and one of them tells a teacher what happened, forcing Lakeisha to face the consequences for her actions.
• Pokémon Reset Bloodlines is not a Paul-friendly fic and does not shy away from the view that the guy's an utter jerk, but even he isn't homophobic. If you're skilled, he couldn't care less what direction you swing.
  • This extends to Ash himself, even more than in canon. While he remains an all-around Nice Guy and All-Loving Hero, it's a sign of his maturity that he doesn't sit back and tolerate everything bad from other people, Paul included.
• Pokemon: Shadow of Time;
  • Despite Pikachu trying to ship Ash with various girls, he makes it clear that he wants Ash to have a good relationship and would discourage Ash if he was, for example, trying to get involved with the likes of Hunter J.
  • Although Paul releases his Marill after it loses to Quilava, he acknowledges that he made the mistake when he sends out Magby to fight Goodra in the rain.
  • A more negative example of this occurs when one of the Rota guard expresses disapproval of Ash's current relationships just because none of the girls joined him in the initial assault on Orre, even though they were all injured in the earlier attack on Indigo Stadium. Later, the head guard recognises that the girls aren't helping Ash stop the Legendary Birds around Shamouti for the practical reason that none of them have a Pokemon capable of flight, and appreciates that they're doing what they can with the Pokemon they own.
  • The Trio affirm that while they'd steal and sell Pokemon, they'd never torture the Pokemon they capture.
  • When Kyoji is in the Ferrum Region in Rising Tide, he observes that the police brutality in that region is worse than it was in Ransei; he might have been beaten because of his family ties, but at least that was because of something specific rather than just his political affiliations.
  • When some Rotans are trying to get Ash to conceive an heir with one of his various partners, even Serena's most sex-crazed personality recognises that Ash doesn't want to go that far and restricts herself to half-naked cuddles.

Poppy Playtime

• Our Angel:
  • DogDay is the leader of the smiling critters. When several people suggest abandoning children to die in the meeting in Chapter 6, DogDay snaps at the people suggesting this in disgust.
  • CatNap is a vicious killer and a cold-blooded calculated murdering feline, but he views both Boxy Boo and PJ Pug-A-Pillar in contempt as both engaged in killing children. He also keeps the other Smiling Critters alive when finding out about Lune, thereby meaning that he cannot kill the Smiling Critters unless Lune is to be left alone.

Power Rangers

• In Crimson Rising, despite having declared the other Rangers fools and dismissing the idea that he has any interest in their legacy, Will (the Black Operation Overdrive Ranger) finally realises that he can’t keep working for Sector Nine when they are willing to threaten the little sister of his past ally, Tori (Power Rangers Ninja Storm) to try and bring the Rangers in line.

Puella Magi Madoka Magica

• Kyoko has problems with religion, a bad attitude, and a fondness for violence, but in Resonance Days she is not one to strike or interrupt someone while praying. She'll wait for them to finish before demanding answers from them.
• The Soulmate Timeline:
  • Kyoko is a rude delinquent who isn't afraid to get her hands dirty and is fully willing to resort to morally ambiguous methods for Grief Seeds, such as farming Familiars on random unsuspecting people so they mature into new Witches to destroy. Her encounter with Suzumebachi, who seemingly directly kidnaps little girls to feed to Familiars to create Witches, completely disgusts her to the point Suzumebachi dropping a "Not So Different" Remark gets Kyoko to swear off Familiar farming entirely just so she can stop thinking if she had a point and go back on the straight-and-narrow. She also tries very hard to not swear in front of Yuma and Nagisa, and the fact that they both have Abusive Parents brings out Kyoko's protective instincts.
  • While Oriko's a Well-Intentioned Extremist in most timelines who still has the willingness to engage in morally-ambiguous actions in this one, she admits there are lines she's uncomfortable with crossing in regards to the Magius's decisions. She disapproves of Touka's preference for brainwashing, doesn't fool herself in thinking Alina is a good person even if she's not quite "evil" either, and dislikes the usage of the Uwasa due to how many of them cause innocent people to suffer. Oriko in particular singles out the case of the Uwasa of the Anonymous AI and how the realization that it sat better with her when the girl staying with it was willing and happy there versus a scared innocent was sobering to dwell on, to the point she didn't sleep well at all that night despite Kirika's best efforts.
  • Homura may immensely despise Oriko and Kirika, but when she gives Ryoko and Sute five Grief Seeds she had stored up from past timelines to take back to the Magius, an organization she knows the two are part of, she very specifically makes sure to not give any Grief Seeds from Sotria or Latria, as she both considers that too cruel and doesn't know what giving them their Witch's Grief Seeds from another timeline would do to them, a concern she extends to her own team and Soulmates as she tries to use up her stock of Oktavia, Candeloro, and Charlotte Grief Seeds as quickly as possible.
  • Pastor Sakura was a very tolerant man who liked to discuss faith with those of different denominations and respecting their beliefs as valid as his own, but he had no love of the prosperity gospel interpretation of the faith, considering it just a way to use religion for money and power.

Punch-Out!!

• Two examples from Aran Ryan:
  • In Ask the Ryans, he refuses little sister Rory's suggestion to load his gloves with firecrackers.
    D'ja want me hands to blow off, ya pup?!
  • As much as Aran loves getting hit in the game, in Home Sick (NoonboryKedabory) he's shown to hate nausea pains, to the point of weeping into Disco Kid's chest over them.

Ranma ½

• In Heated Storm Yields a Wild Horse's Heart, Nabiki was only joking when she rented Ranma to Kodachi, not thinking the girl would actually have 300,000 yen on hand. Similarly, Ranma feels uncomfortable manipulating Kodachi when he sees how much she enjoys even slight affection.
• Cologne in Ranma: Happenstance Gone Right does not condone true mind control (the Red Thread is borderline as it made Ranma feel for Shampoo what she feels for him), and is both outraged and horrified that Shampoo and Ukyou made Ranma sign marriage certificates while under the effect of the Lady-killer Band-aid.
  • She later gives Mousse a What the Hell, Hero? for using a bomb against Ranma in a residential district, lambasting him for doing so in an area that he couldn't possibly be sure was free of non-combatants.
• In Same Time Next Year, even money-grubbing Nabiki is disgusted to hear what Genma put Ranma through while the latter was growing up.

Rick and Morty

• Rest In Piss: As much as Piss Master's Daughter loves her father and blames herself for his suicide for not defending him when he was humiliated by the human on the internet, she does not blame the guy that embarrassed him because she knows that guy was just protecting his daughters and know it was only a matter of time before Piss Master got his ass kicked.

RWBY

• During a match against Team CRDL in Leader Change, Weiss (currently the Leader of Team RWBY) chooses to make a move that sacrifices Blake in order to win. After the match, Cardin admits even he wouldn't do that to his teammates.
• In Professor Arc: Student of Vacuo, a group of Huntsmen hired by the SDC (including Jaune and Neo) revolt when they spot the mine's guards shooting faunus workers and leaving them to die. They kill every guard they find and help the faunus workers hole up in the barracks long enough for the White Fang to arrive.
• A Rabbit Among Wolves:
  • The White Fang are violent terrorists with little love for humanity, but many of them really don't like Adam for being an ultraviolent asshole. When Jaune accidentally slits Adam's throat, none of his goons are remotely upset, and even make Jaune their new leader.
  • Lisa Lavender has become aloof toward the scandal and violence she covers as a reporter, but she was pissed when she found out an SDC manager was sexually violating her employees.
• Roar of the LION: Ovan starts out as a bit of a Jerkass and is firmly in the Good is Not Nice camp even after he mellows out, but it doesn't stop him from being disgusted by Weiss' bigotry towards Faunus.
  Ovan: Wow, and you call me a monster.

A Song of Ice and Fire

• Chasing Dragons: It's noted by in-universe future historical documents that even by the violent standards of the time, the Dothraki's utter obliteration of the Confederation of the Darkwash — and the subsequent slaughter of all its inhabitants who weren't then enslaved — horrified everyone who learned of it.
• Ned Stark Lives: Tyrion Lannister has never gotten along well with Joffrey, who he considers an incredibly selfish and violent Royal Brat who would bring the Kingdoms down along with him; even so, he is disgusted and outraged when he hears that Joffrey didn't die from his fall into the Blackwater Bay at the Fall of King's Landing, but that he was slain in single combat by Stannis Baratheon, despite being crippled and half-conscious at the time. It's one of the few things he and Cersei can agree on by that point.
• Robert Reacts: Almost everyone in Westeros is someone who believes in War Is Glorious, believing in honor and chivalry in combat, But when Sabaton's Cliffs of Gallipoli and Fields of Verdun play, they are horrified by the number of dead soldiers and how long the battles took during World War I. And yes, this includes the likes of Cersei and Joffrey.

Squirrel Boy

• Snow Way Out: Mr. J hates Rodney a lot, but he can't stand Rodney having a panic attack or being in danger.

Star vs. the Forces of Evil

Star Wars

• The Desert Storm: Quinlan Vos is a dogged Secret Chaser who is determined to learn the truth behind Ben Naasade's^note In reality, a time-displaced Obi-Wan Kenobi from twenty-three years in the future Mysterious Past. To this end, he breaks into Ben's private quarters and rummages through his personal belongings with his psychometry. During this search, he comes across a Padawan braid belonging to canon!Anakin. Despite his curiosity, even Quinlan understands how deeply personal something like a Padawan braid is and makes sure not to use his psychometry on it.
• Using the Force Made Easy: John greatly enjoys creating instructional videos for teaching the wider galaxy how to use the Force and has no problem teaching people how to (very carefully) tap into the Dark Side. But he outright refuses to teach anyone how to use jedi mind tricks, citing that their potential for good is incredible, but their potential for evil is far too horrific for him to contemplate. Things like slavers using it to capture people easily or rapists convincing victims that having sex with them was their idea blatantly horrifies John to the point he's only willing to inform anyone of what can be done with the power if they can prove they're at least high up in a planet's government and only to help them make jedi mind tricks illegal.

Tangled: The Series

• On Trial: While everyone agreed that Cassandra deserved punishment for what she did while under the Moonstone's influence, they all think that the treatment she'd been given (i.e. isolated in darkness for weeks, labeled insane, institutionalized, almost sold into slavery, nearly dying of pneumonia, etc) was too much.

Teen Titans (2003)

• Beast Boy and Raven Join PETA: While Cyborg is a proud meat-eater, he refuses to eat lamb or veal as they're from baby animals, and he only eats eggs from cage-free chickens.

Thomas & Friends

Thomas may be angry with the twins, but he still doesn't want them to get hurt. Also, despite having been the victim, Emily doesn't want anyone to bother Donald and Douglas just for her sake.
• In The Brother's Grimm, upon learning that Bernard is the Stirling Single who accidentally killed Seymour Murphy's father, which leads to the man's horrendous actions on Sodor, James states that his paint should be blistered if he had so much as an intent to turn the incident into a joke.

Titanic (1997)

• In “A Matter of Time”, Ruth is finally turned against Cal when she sees him actually take a gun and try to shoot Rose for choosing Jack over him, Ruth hitting Cal to stop him shooting her daughter and then delivering a Groin Attack when he calls Rose a whore.

    • Listening to Ivan's ghost guitar playing was too dark for Sylvia as well.

  Owen: Wha? Chris! You didn’t tell me you were putting people in those balloons! (gasps) You’ve been using farts for evil?!!?
• Total Drama: Cody's Redemption: Gwen hates Cody because of her hatred of geeks in general and ignores the good he has done for her and the team, but when she tells Cody to kill himself, she is shocked and knows she went too far. When Cody runs away, Gwen breaks down and admits she messed up.
• Total Drama Do Over: This is what ultimately leads to both Heather Heel–Face Turn and break up with Alejandro.

• Total Zeksmit Series:
  • Both Izzy and Courtney think that Eva's apparent plans for winning the competition are rather brutal.
  • Courtney specifically draws a few lines: It's okay to form a secret alliance with someone, and it's okay to use that alliance to threaten outsiders to get what you want. (Thanks to Beth and Lindsay's prior experience with Heather, insiders on the other hand are out of the question.) But you better follow your word through, do not lie about convincing your teammates to kick yourself off.
  • Ezekiel relies on making his challenges cheap sometimes and lets violence pass through, but he will not downright rig the game in his favor, or do anything else that Chris does. No Loophole Abuses here, unless another contestant tries to do the same — even then, Justin's the one who comes up with a way out.
• Ultimate Ridonculous Race: Kelly has always put up with Taylor's attitude, but even she can't tolerate the Internet Critics. She even told them to get a life.
