Have a question about how the TVTropes wiki works? No one knows this community better than the people in it, so ask away! Ask the Tropers is the page you come to when you have a question burning in your brain and the support pages didn't help.
It's not for everything, though. For a list of all the resources for your questions, click here. You can also go to this Directory thread

Questions involving comparisons between tropes usually go on the Trope Talk forum
.
Moral Myopia is usually along the lines of "they honestly don't know they're doing something others would consider wrong".
Moral Myopia is NOT only for villains. It can apply to any group of people: good, evil, or anything between.
I feel like Moral Dissonance is a more specific form of what most people mean when they call somebody a hypocrite — "it's okay when you [the hero] do it but bad when someone else [the villain] does it." While our trope Hypocrite seems to be more general, the supertrope(?).
Look at all that shiny stuff ain't they pretty
What is the distinction between Hypocrite and Moral Myopia? My impression is:
So is Hypocrite for examples not reprehensible enough to make them villains but too minor and/or deliberate to fall under Dissonance?
Is Hypocrite like Jerkass where it should only be used if it’s sub-tropes don’t fit?
