Hypocrite: Difference between revisions

** And of course there's Light himself. Ryuk tells him that even if he succeeds in killing all the evil people, he'll remain as the only evil person, and Light refuses to consider what he does evil.

** Also Near, if {{spoiler|Matsuda}}'s theory {{spoiler|that he wrote Mikami's name in the Death Note to verify it was real, thus enabling him to expose Light as Kira}} is true.

* Father, the [[Big Bad]] of ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist (manga)|Fullmetal Alchemist]]'' loathed humans; his fondest desire was to see them punished for their arrogance. Yet his ultimate goal was to {{spoiler|become a [[Physical God]] by consuming the real one}}. [[Literal Genie|He got called on it]], [[And I Must Scream|big time]].

** Also, according to Kimblee, Pride is this, as he {{spoiler|insults humans and states his desire to [[Grand Theft Me|steal Ed's body]] in the same breath}}. It's why Kimblee decides to {{spoiler|help Ed}}.

** The reason he hates magic in the first place is because he made a deal with a sorceress to concieve a son with his barren wife. Furthermore, he describes his deceased wife as "my soul" and yet we later find out that he had an affair with his best friend's wife, and that (as he says to his son) "I know about the temptations of serving girls."

* A notable example from ''[[Noah's Arc]]'' is when Noah enters a sex party to try and find Ricky, and a guy tries to aggressively flirt with him. Malik immediately steps in and tell him to back off, and that no means no. He then immediately proceeeds to flirt with Noah even more aggressively, as Noah says no.

* Dan Humphrey and Vanessa Abrams on ''[[Gossip Girl]]''. They spend half their time judging the UES kids for the things they do and the other half of their time doing the exact same things as the UES kids. In season four Dan even told his sister Jenny she would be better off leaving Manhattan because she sunk to Chuck and Blair's level by scheming against them, and in the very next episode Dan himself schemed against Chuck and Blair.

* While it isn't done on purpose, Kurt from [[Glee]] is a huge hypocrite. During the first season, he comes out of the closet and starts to get used to living as an out gay man, and he begins to assert that he was born gay, and that he can't change who he is for someone else...but at the same time, he tries to seduce Finn, who happens to be decidedly straight. Despite his own opinion that he is who he is and that that can't change, he constantly tries to get close to Finn and keeps telling Finn that girls are all catty and troublesome, and that he should go out with boys instead - in other words, he tries to turn Finn gay. The second season has Kurt act like a hypocrite as well - Despite Kurt's talks about how important LGBT rights are and gay visibility, the second that Blaine confesses that [[Bi the Way|he might be bisexual,]] Kurt has a huge rant about how [[No Bisexuals|bisexuals don't exist,]] and how they're all [[Unfortunate Implications|"gays who are too afraid to come out completely".]]

* ''[[Disgaea 3: Absence of Justice]]'' has {{spoiler|Super Hero Aurum is a gigantic hypocrite. He kills a nice guy, imposes as a loyal butler, and messes up the next two hundred years of Mao's life to raise him as a cruel and wicked overlord, and all so he (Aurum, that is) could have a truly evil villain to fight. He even abuses his number one fan with a death curse while the poor lad remains painfully oblivious to the fact his mentor betrayed him up until the last moment. By the time Mao turns things around ([[Multiple Endings|if he does turn things around]]), the entirety of his party is more than ready to tear him a new one for committing hypocritically evil acts on such a grand scale.}}

* The Ascalonians of ''[[Guild Wars]]'', and particularly Gwen, decry the Charr for destroying their country and killing most of them. Unfortunately, they then go on to try to commit genocide against the Charr. Since the RPG elements of Guild Wars Nightfall are gone by EotN, the player has no real choice but to go along with it.

** ''BioShock'''s Andrew Ryan founded the underwater city of Rapture to be an [[Ayn Rand|Objectivist]] utopia, where personal freedom and self-advancement were valued above all else. However, Ryan's desire to keep his city an Objectivist utopia eventually led to him taking dictatorial control over the city to prevent it from falling into the hands of his (much more competent) competition... exactly the way his own theory said it ought to. On the other hand, said competition was also a crime boss and Rapture would likely been a dictatorship under him anyway, so YMMV.

* Kreia of ''[[Knights of the Old Republic|Knights Of The Old Republic II]]'' will talk about how arrogant and closed minded the Jedi are and how they should be more open to other people's ideas. Of course, if you then point out flaws in ''her'' philosophy, she'll dismiss you as incapable of understanding it.

** In addition, Kreia despises [[The Force]] and those who are dependent on it, and {{spoiler|seeks to destroy it.}} However, all of her attacks are dependent on the Force, and she's too physically frail to fight otherwise. If the player calls her on this, she claims that it's because being intimate with the Force gives greater insight on {{spoiler|how to destroy it.}} But to her credit, she does concede that the player makes a good point, and may very well be right.
