Even Evil Has Standards/Web Comics: Difference between revisions

* Hunter Ravenwood of ''[[Suicide for Hire]]'' [[Wouldn't Hit a Girl|wouldn't hit a girl]], though that doesn't stop him from killing women who pay him to do so. Evidence suggests he doesn't like to think of the clients as people at all. The rules of the titular business also include "Suicides may not result in the death of a third party" and "Children under the age of sixteen will not be allowed to kill themselves". A pregnant client is rejected for this reason, as they consider her foetus to be a third party and object to helping her escape responsibility for it.

** Later, when confronted with a severely battered woman, he first wants to help her kill her abusive husband. {{spoiler|Only when she can't go through with the act, despite getting ''clear instructions'' via two-way radio, does he help her kill herself. Later, the husband comes to SFH...and his death is not at all pretty.}} Unusually, Arcturus is as enthusiastic about this job as Hunter.

* Even ''[[Penny Arcade]]'' [http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2004/8/16/ has standards.]

* From [[Wapsi Square]] [http://wapsisquare.com/comic/we-have-rules/ We may be demons, but we have rules!]

* Axel of ''[[Ansem Retort]]'' is a homicidal evil Buddhist god that can kill you with freaking sweet mind bullets (and in the ''very first comic'' torched an orphanage). Yet he yells "WHAT?" at the idea that he'd abuse his wife, Aerith. He's also shown to be disturbed by Larxene carrying around a human skull.

** Zexion is a governor that invaded New Jersey, stole tax dollars just to prove he could, and would rather spend the state budget on blowjobs and Doritoes...but he really hates racist pancakes. [[It Makes Sense in Context]].

{{quote| '''White Mage''': I may be coming to terms with the idea that I'm locked into a lifetime of spreading pain and death across the world, but I still have ''some'' standards.}}

** Garland also does this in the beginning, when Princess Sara suggests torturing the heroes of light by forcing them to listen to Cher.

* Lil' E from ''[[Sinfest]]'' is the devil's fanboy, admires everything he does, and really, really enjoys murder. However, he will NOT tolerate [http://www.sinfest.net/archive_page.php?comicID=2599 people spitting in his sandwiches.]

* The [[All Trolls Are Different|Trolls]] of ''[[Homestuck (Webcomic)|Homestuck]]'' may be a race almost entirely composed of violent [[Jerkass|Jerk Asses]], but most of them are still disgusted with [[Smug Snake|Vriska's]] [[Chronic Backstabbing Disorder]].

** Karkat's universe's version of Jack Noir is just as much an [[Ax Crazy]] [[Knife Nut]] as any other version. But even he thinks that Karkat's angst over his "candy-color blood" is one of the saddest things he's ever seen and becomes Karkat's [[Blood Brothers|Blood Brother]] out of sympathy.

* ''[[Vexxarr]]'' before leaving Earth had to [http://www.vexxarr.com/archive.php?seldate=121905 thank] [[Mega Corp|Sony]]... for [[Eviler Than Thou|unburdening his conscience]].

'''Mike:''' [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|I can't help it. I have antisocial tendencies]]. }}

** Speaking of Mike, even he's disgusted by what Amber's abusive dad did to her.

** Similarly, Magus is surprised to find out that Max Force's slaughter of the innocent Mushroom retainers offends him.

* Attempted by [[Triquetra Cats]] in a filler comic, which had a [[Complete Monster]] demonic serial killer suddenly break character and deliver a message about the evils of transphobia. The attempt failed miserably.
