It sounds like What the Hell, Hero?, which always involves at least a little opinion. As it mentions in the article, a Sociopathic Hero or The Unfettered may not care about any criticism, but it doesn't change the fact that the criticism was made.
This is when a character calls out another character for not acting like their own definition of what a "hero" should be.
Usually happens when a character does something that other characters may consider traditionally unheroic, and when others try to lecture them on it, the character will usually not give a damn.
