 ** Maka is either a [[Cute Bruiser]] and the [[Only Sane Man]] or a complete [[Alpha Bitch]] and [[Mary Sue]]. Fanfics will also present her as such - she's usually either a [[School Girl With A Crush]] on Soul and is completely incapable of hiding her feelings for him, or is an extraordinarily [[Abuse Is Okay If Its Female On Male|violent]] young girl in complete denial about her feelings.
 * [[Monster (manga)|Johan Liebert]]. Is he truly [[Complete Monster|heartless]]? [[Dark and Troubled Past|Or is he just broken?]] [[Take a Third Option|Or is he heartless]] [[Being Tortured Makes You Evil|because he was broken?]]
-* This seems to be happening more and more in the ''[[Durarara]]'' fandom now, particularly in regards to [[Consummate Liar|Izaya]] [[Manipulative Bastard|Orihara]]. Since Izaya's a lying liar who lies, it's hard to take anything he says seriously in the first place. This is not helped by the fact that we never know what he's thinking and his permanent expression is only [[Technically a Smile]], which is generally written as a 'smile to hide his emotions'. The fandom is divided in their opinions about him. Is he a hedonistic, sociopathic [[Manipulative Bastard]] who only does things [[For the Evulz]] and doesn't give a damn about anyone - not even his own family or [[Morality Pet|Shinra]]? Or is he a sympathetic loner who [[I Just Want to Be Loved|just wants to know what true feelings are]], genuinely cares for his family, and his desire to  {{spoiler|create Ragnarok}} should be pitied, because he's only like that since he's '[[Loners Are Freaks|lonely]]'? And for that matter, what are his ''real'' thoughts about  {{spoiler|Shinra}}? Did Izaya really become an informant because of that incident in middle school, or for his own benefits? Is Izaya really trying to avenge  {{spoiler|Shinra}}, or is he just using it as an excuse so he can have someone (Nakura) to use?

 ** There are also many fans that seem to genuinely think his inherent hate for Shizuo means that he sees Shzuo on a higher level than all his precious humans and therefore, [[Insane Troll Logic|secretly loves him]]. Despite [[Word of God]] saying otherwise on many an occasion.
 ** That goes for Shizuo too, apparently.
