Line 149:
* [[MadWorld]] is a game filled with terrible people and killers, all which sponsor Agent XIII is just dandy with, enjoying the terror and spectacle. Well, except for when he finds out why the current Deathwatch games are being held. {{spoiler|Turns out that Leo's dad started the games because his company was going under and he created a need for a cure for an illness used in the game. With the world aware of the horror of the illness, he could jack up the price of the cure and make a lot of money}}. However, {{spoiler|Leo himself didn't actually care, he just wanted to watch the chaos}}. This made Agent XIII mad since {{spoiler|the games usually decide the fate of the known world, shifting around major powers without the need of war. A pointless genocide for the sake of something as small as profits was disgusting to him, disrespectful to the reason the game was made}}. As a result, he later {{spoiler|decides to give Jack information}}.
* In the ''[[X (video game)|X-Universe]]'', the [[Scary Dogmatic Aliens|Paranid]] [[The Empire|Empire]] is a xenophobic totalitarian theocracy. But in ''X3: Albion Prelude'' they're so disgusted by the [[Humans by Any Other Name|Argon]] [[The Federation|Federation's]] destruction of the [[Big Dumb Object|Earth Torus]] and subsequent invasion of Sol with [[Robot War|artificially intelligent warships]] that they side with the Terrans.
* [[Hypercompetent Sidekick|Gnarl]] from ''[[Overlord (2007 video game)|Overlord]]'' almost quotes this word for word when you're travelling through a dense and murky area to retrieve some Green Minions, who are known for poor hygiene anyway.
* [[Big Bad|Neo Cortex]] utterly ''despises'' [[Evil Brit|N.]] [[Jerkass|Tropy]] in ''[[Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time]]'', especially after being unfortunate enough to be watching as {{spoiler|N. Tropy and Female N. Tropy [[Screw Yourself|shamelessly flirt with each other]] during [[Signature Scene|the infamous opening cutscene of "Out For Launch"]]}}.
* Two examples in ''[[Octopath Traveler]]'':
** Mattias, the main antagonist in Ophilia's story gets his dark power from the [[Evil God|Dark God]], Galdera, and seeks to loosen his bonds to draw even more power. However he doesn't want Galdera fully released as that would mean the [[Apocalypse How|end of the world.]]
** Werner, the main antagonist of Olberic's story was granted financial power from Lylblac {{Spoiler|the Daughter of the Dark God}} to bring Hornburg down. He then used the wealth he accumulated to become the tyrannical ruler of Riverford. However, he described her as a purely evil witch that sought to bring [[Omnicidal Maniac|ruin to all humanity]] and cut all ties with her to avoid her corruption.
* ''[[Doki Doki Literature Club!]]'': Even Monika was surprised by Yuri telling Natsuki to kill herself in Act 2...and she's the one who made her that way!
