'''Basic Trope''': Forcibly changing a subject under discussion (or a group's goals or plans) away from one topic or objective either against the will of the participants or by persuasion, toward one desired by the person changing it.
* '''Played Straight''':
** In a discussion among feminist writers who see the [[Victim Falls For Rapist]] trope as [[Dude, Not Funny|offensive]] about how to deconstruct it, Bob joins the discussion and begins talking about freedom of speech and how men have the right to write whatever they wish.
** A [[Troll]] posts to a discussion about [[Police Brutality]] saying the victims deserved it (with optional racial slurs) and going on at length over how difficult police officers' work is.
* '''Exaggerated''':
Line 19:
** The [[Troll]] in the [[Police Brutality]] discussion is sufficiently a scary enough [[Internet Tough Guy]] to silence the discussion.
* '''Deconstructed''':
** Bob is shown to be a stereotypical [[Otaku]] virgin, [[Hikikomori|incapable of even leaving his room]]. His derailing attempts are shown to be the result of his [[Freudian Excuse|poor relationship with his mother]] and his suffering a severe case of [[GIFT]]. Once he gets his [[Shut UP, Hannibal]] from the writers he attacked, he realizes just how pathetic he is and gets psychological help.
** Someone investigates the racist pro-brutality [[Troll]] and finds out that yes, he is actually a police officer instead of being the armchair warrior people suspected. After an [[Internet Counterattack]] showing exactly what he thinks of the people he's allegedly "protecting and serving," he is told to [[Turn in Your Badge]] and put under investigation by internal affairs.
* '''Reconstructed''':
