Hypocrite: Difference between revisions

 

== Anime and Manga ==

* In ''[[D.Gray-man]]'', the Black Order is supposed to be the good guys, and represent light to battle the noah and akuma who have darkness based powers. {{spoiler|and then we find out about [[Eldritch Abomination|fallen ones]], heresy trials, the second exorcist project, the third exorcist project, and Apocryphos.}}

* Leonard Tessarossa from ''[[Full Metal Panic]]''. He makes a big deal about how he's a perfect gentleman, and is shown to constantly [[Green-Eyed Monster|get jealous and angry]] when people like [[Magnetic Hero|Sousuke]] more than him, wondering ''why'', since Sousuke is far less [[Men Are Uncultured|"cultured"]] and [[Sociopathic Hero|directly killed]] more people than him. Unfortunately, as much as he likes to think so, a gentleman he is not. No gentleman would (knowing [[Sacred First Kiss|how important it is to a woman]]) force a kiss on a girl who likes someone else, give the girl an [[Armor-Piercing Slap]] when she tells the other guy she loves him,just a matter of scale. or try to brainwash her so that she "won't resist him" any more (to the point where she eventually softly asks him if he "won't be violent" any more). Combining all this, there ''is'' a reason why Leonard is one of the most agreed upon [[The Scrappy|Scrappies]] in the series.

** In another episode we see a pimp giving a speech about breaking the bonds of slavery, where in the same episode the postitutes are kidnapped, raped, emotionally and physically abused, branded as cattle, traded and "cattle rustled" and then either killed or thrown out on the street with no means to support themselves.

* ''[[Star Trek: Enterprise]]'' had John Paxton, the leader of the xenophobic Earth organization Terra Prime. He had unwavering dedication to his cause, and was willing to scorch half of San Francisco to make his demands known. Considering this was after a devastating alien attack, their concerns about an alien alliance had some validity. T'Pol deduced from a trembling hand that Paxton had a genetic disorder, one that should have killed him when he was a teenager, but didn't because of "freely given" alien medical technology. Paxton will only admit that he's not the first leader to fail to live up to the standard of an idol (in his case, a mass murderer from Earth's post [[WW 3]] period), and refuses to back down. This fact exposed him as a man who was just racist.

* ''[[ER]]'''s Kerry Weaver and Mark Greene, who frequently made people's lives hell if they even ''thought'' about bending or breaking the rules, yet never had any problem bending or breaking the rules themselves. Kerry also made people's lives hell for the slightest of screw-ups, yet almost always acted as if her own screw-ups were no big deal.

* One of the main reasons why Kate from ''[[Robin Hood (TV series)|Robin Hood]]'' was so hated. She would [[Unwanted Rescue|complain loudly]] whenever Allan or Much went out of their way to save her life, at one stage yelling at them: "I'm sick of you two trying to protect me! You have to concentrate on the mission!" Yet in the ''very next episode'', she interrupts not one but ''two'' missions in order to pursue her romantic interest in Robin, first by bestowing a [[Forceful Kiss]] on him, and later by asking Much to act as a proxy for getting her and Robin together. Much is so upset by this that he's distracted during combat and loses the treasure that the outlaws were trying to steal. So it's not okay for Much or Allan to endanger missions in order to bail Kate out of trouble, but it's perfectly fine for Kate to do so just because she has the hots for Robin.
