Compare [[Stop Worshipping Me]], which is specifically about anyone who discourage being worshipped for any of a number of reasons.

* The [[God
** Specifically, he tried to construct an Imperium based on complete atheism, despite the fact that [[Nay Theist|he knew full well about Chaos gods and demons]]. Of course, since Chaos [[Gods Need Prayer Badly|gets even stronger with DIRECT worship]] he had good reason. There's speculation that he didn't want the temptation that being the object of all that affection would bring... Not that there was much difference between the "reverence" of the days of the Crusade and the "worship" of the later Imperium.
* The Lady of Pain from ''[[Planescape]]'' has apparently limitless ability to enforce her rules within Sigil (to the point where actual deities obey her dictum that keeps them out). She doesn't have many of these rules, but one of them is that you absolutely '''must not''' worship the Lady of Pain as anything remotely approaching divine.
Line 58:
* The geth in [[Mass Effect]] worship Sovereign as a god, but Sovereign is kind of insulted by the comparison. Evidently gods have nothing on Reapers.
* ''[[Advent Rising]]'': Even though humans are ''worshiped'' as gods by some of the alien races ([[Psychic Powers|for a darn good reason too]]), Gideon (MC) always denies it whenever he is called one. However, much later he comes to realization what this image still entails some consequences. Also, one of the surviving humans jokes that he "[is]n't the only demigod around here" when she demonstrates her powers for the first time.
* Asura from ''[[Asura's Wrath]]'' is openly disgusted when humans begin bowing and scraping to him, and is infuriated when he learns that his former comrades are using their "divine" status to harvest souls for Mantra, declaring that there is no need for gods "that only take". But the pinnacle of this attitude comes about when {{spoiler|Chakravartin tries to convince him to become an all powerful god}}. His answer is succinct and [[Talk to The Fist|pointed]]: [[Shut UP, Hannibal|"I refuse."]]

{{quote| '''Katara''': Why didn't you tell us you were the Avatar?<br />
'''Aang''': [[I Just Want to Be Normal|Because I never wanted to be]]. }}
* [[The High Queen|Princess]] [[Physical God|Celestia]] from ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]'' is a powerful alicorn who controls the sun, but prefers to be treated as a normal person. It's the same with Luna, although [[Values Dissonance|her outdated mannerisms]] make her seem more haughty and intimidating than she actually is.
* In the [[Grand Finale]] of ''[[Generator Rex (Animation)|Generator Rex]]'', {{spoiler|Rex gains the full power of the Meta-Nanites as his family always intended and he becomes a [[Physical God]]}}. He only uses that power once {{spoiler|to initiate a global Cure event}} before deciding that he doesn't want godhood {{spoiler|and orders the Meta-Nanites to shut down so that no one, including himself, can access such power ever again.}}
