== Anime and Manga ==
* ''[[Sailor Moon]]''
* ''[[Scrapped Princess]]'' sees nearly every human character behave with a degree of honor and decency. Its "villains" are not humans but the so-called "peacemakers", {{spoiler|machines designed to keep humanity [[Medieval Stasis|in the Middle Ages forever]] -- and ''they'' started out [[Knight Templar|trying to preserve humanity]] by keeping them caged}}.
* The humans of ''[[SD Gundam Force]]'' all very nice and friendly. Both humans form Neotopia and Lacroa, (there are none in Ark) It seems only those humans who created the General and his followers where bad people. Of course, we have only

:Rossiu, the [[Well-Intentioned Extremist]] who gets redeemed through [[Get a Hold of Yourself, Man!]], was in fact ''named'' for [[Rousseau Was Right|Rousseau]], because he really does mean well—and once he and Simon are on the same page, no force in the universe can stop them. Demonstrably. "Rossiu Was Right" is an internet meme.
* ''[[Trinity Blood]]'' - the anime eventually draws the conclusion that all humans, [[Our Vampires Are Different|vampire or not]], can coexist peacefully. And if it weren't for a certain nihilistic organization with a [[Sufficiently Advanced Alien]] [[Ultimate Evil]] on the top, they would. A proto-Rousseau Was Right statement, in a way.<br /><br />The manga is going in an entirely different direction. {{spoiler|The Shaharazard ar-Rahman story arc centered on an evil bishop D'Annunzio! Guderien (an agent of the Order) helped save Eshter too. Kinda turning this possibly into [[Hobbes Was Right]] territory!}}▼
:{{spoiler|Despite the fact that they have sealed off their own Evolution (Or life force. Or whatever) and have spent eons trying to make every sentient being in the universe feel absolute and utter despair, the Anti-Spirals are actually [[Well-Intentioned Extremist]]s and want to save the universe from uncontrolled spiral energy creating a black hole.}}
* A major theme of the manga and second anime versions of ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist]]'' is that as long as we're not being manipulated by [[Eldritch Abomination|Eldritch Abominations]], humans are pretty cool. Protagonist Ed considers absolutely anything even vaguely human to be completely human: [[Half-Human Hybrid|Chimeras]], [[And I Must Scream|living armors]], [[Body Horror|failed transmutations]], and even Homunculi, and he never kills anyone who meets any of those descriptions. Fittingly, only three characters who are not [[Harmless Villain|utterly incompetent]] remain completely despicable: the aforementioned [[Eldritch Abomination]] [[Big Bad]], Shou Tucker, and {{spoiler|the Man in White}}. Even [[Ax Crazy|Barry the Chopper]] and {{spoiler|[[Mad Bomber|Kimblee]]}} turn out to be advantageous to the good guys in the end.▼

* This seems to be apparent in ''[[Naruto]]'' especially in part II. Despite the treatment of the Jinchuriki, and now Four great shinobi world wars, humans are never portrayed as evil or bastards. Its often the system that is to blame, and no one has been able to reform it. Until [[The Messiah|Naruto Uzumaki]] that is.

* In ''[[Kamen Rider Den-O]]'', the [[Monster of the Week|Imagin]] form contracts with humans to grant their wishes and invariably do evil things. However, as it turns out, practically all of the humans contracted to the Imagin had good intentions, which were twisted in [[Literal Genie]] fashion. For example, one episode suggests that a young model is being attacked at the behest of her father, who threw her out a year ago. When the hero confronts the father, he learns that {{spoiler|he merely wanted his daughter's career to succeed, and pushed her away so she wouldn't hold herself back by staying with him and helping at his shop; he even supported her from the shadows by sending anonymous bouquet to cheer her up, with the aid of her manager. Thanks to the heroes' actions, father and daughter reconcile.}}
* There is a very dark example of this in the episode "A Small Talent for War" of the 1980s version of the [[Twilight Zone]]. Despite our bickering ways, occasional wars, and nuclear arms race, Humans are merciful, afraid of conflict, and genuinely want peace. This makes us completely useless for the reason Earth was seeded: to breed a civilization of warriors. So the aliens who planted those seeds wipe us out and start another crop elsewhere.

** In ''[[World of Warcraft]]'', the Player vs. Environment is generally [[Black and White Morality]]. The major villains all have a chain of evil (or possibly [[Mind Rape|forced insanity]]) that can be traced back to either the Old Gods or the always-evil variety of demons, even if the aforementioned villains now do evil for their own reasons.
** The Horde vs. The Alliance is a case of [[Grey and Grey Morality]], with both sides having sympathetic goals...though sometimes not so much. Both sides want to take down the villains, they just distrust each other too much to form an alliance.
