Strawman Has a Point/Fan Works

Examples of in  include:

"Diana: The thought of my characters used pornographically disgusts me. FaFic (sic) Apologists: Well YOU have them get raped and abused and they have LOTS of sex."
 * When Diana Gabaldon declared war on fanfic in 2010, one of her supporters posted the following summation of the dispute:


 * Edfred of Naruto Veangance Revelaitons complains about the protagonist's misbehavior in his shop, which includes viciously assaulting him on several occasions, but the author expects us to view him as unreasonable and mean.
 * In the Dragon Age II fanfic "Magic's Blade" by TheNuttyAuthor, there are Maric Penderghast, and Feynriel, who is taken in by Hector Hawke (the protagonist). Feynriel argues that people should be free to do what they want without consequences, and that Hector shouldn't be telling him what to do even if it is what Hector feels is best for him. The author intends for the reader to feel exasperated with Feynriel and side with Hector, but some readers might believe that Feynriel is in the right. Likewise, with Maric, he is set up as an extreme contrast to Hector Hawke, the rough-around-the-edges swordsman Invisible to Gaydar—in comparison, Maric is far more Bishonen, and wears clothing that would be deemed "cool" in other media. The fact that Maric constantly spouts pro-homosexuality, extremely misogynistic, and anti-Chantry/pro-Old Gods views in his appearances and has two companions who are often considered "cooler" than the canon ones may earn him audience sympathy. The author intended for the readers to despise Maric for being a spoiled, stuck-up brat, but for many readers he's a gay Bishonen who wants to break up Carver and Merrill and make sure that he and Carver are paired up together forever. The idea of Carver/Maric leading to true love may cause the readers to sympathize far more with Maric than Merrill (despite Carver/Merrill being stated by the author to be a pairing in Magic's Blade.)
 * In the Avatar: The Last Airbender webcomic How I Became Yours, Mai hides letters from Katara to Zuko telling him that she's pregnant. When confronted by Zuko, she gives a reason that does make sense: She wants to prevent a possible civil war coming from all the succession problems that the existence of a bastard child of the Fire Lord would bring. (And not to mention, well, Zuko impregnated Katara when he already was married to Mai). However, since this is Mai and she is Katara's love rival for Zuko, she's presented as a petty and clingy Designated Villain who does this only out of bitterness and jealousy... and we're supposed to side with Zuko when, in response to her rant, he humiliates and beats her before abandoning his war-torn nation to run away with his babymama.
 * About two-thirds of the way through Dumbledores Army and The Year of Darkness, Zacharias Smith decides to leave the DA. When he does so, he explains that the DA is sounding more and more like a martyrdom cult with each passing day, and the focus of the group has changed from "Resist the Death Eaters" to "Die heroically". The DA counterargument is... to agree with every word he says and ask, "What's the problem with that?" Bear in mind that all of the members of Dumbledore's Army are teenagers, and Zacharias Smith (who was a strawman in canon!) suddenly becomes the Only Sane Man.
 * In Hogwarts Exposed, the Obviously Evil school bully Dick rants about what an idiot Jamie is for diving into the freezing lake to rescue a child's doll. He's right, because however much sentimental value a doll has it's not worth drowning or freezing to death over, especially as she could just have said "Accio doll" and had done with it.
 * The so-called villains in The Conversion Bureau see ponies as a threat to mankind - and given that the ponies' goal is to remove all of humanity and make them conform, they're absolutely right.
 * Now that CB has become a recursive fanfic franchise, at least half of the Conversion Bureau fanfic out there has the authors rooting for the humans.
 * In one scene from the "My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic" fanfic Alicornundrum by RealityCheck, Princess Celestia confronts Sunset Shimmer on her (canon) flaw of having obsessed on obtaining the power of an alicorn princess without devoting any effort to either becoming worthy of that power or sparing any thought as to what she'd do with it once she had it. Sunset reminds Celestia that the process of becoming an alicorn is immensely difficult and iffy (as only four ponies in the known history of Equestria have managed it in canon). Sunset then points out that when you have only one mortal lifetime in which to achieve an almost impossible task, and one of the rewards for successfully completing that task is immortality, then its only logical to mono-focus on completing that task to the exclusion of other concerns — because once you actually finish it you will then have all the time you possibly need to work out where you will go from there, but you have no idea how much time you will need to finish it and you're on a very strict clock known as 'mortality'. While Celestia still maintains that an obsessive pursuit of power is a poor lifestyle choice, she does concede that Sunset has an entirely valid point.
 * Celestia does more than concede - she immediately helps Sunset ascend to alicorn, then charges her with finding a worthwhile cause to devote her newfound power to. Sunset agrees, and so far has been making a good start on doing so.
