Line 97:
** The protagonists know that a girl will be raped by her stepfather when she returns home for Christmas? Instead of just keeping her at Hogwarts, they teach her needlessly complex spells and ship her home, so she gets her clothes ripped off before saving herself. A four-year-old and an infant won't eat the food being given, while locked in a dungeon? Two of the girls magically enlarge their breasts to provide milk. Possibly one of the dumbest moments is when Emily agrees to a bet with a [[Muggle]] girl named Rosaline. The terms are that if Jamie doesn't win a race, Emily must provide [[Squick|sexual favors for Rosaline]]. Keep in mind that Rosaline is seventeen, while Emily is ''eleven''. Instead of refusing the bet (Rosaline gives the terms before Emily agrees) or going to Hermione or Harry to deal with a clear case of sexual harassment, Emily continues to panic in private, vomiting several times, before finally telling someone about it.
** Not to mention Hermione's kidnapping, which wouldn't have happened if Hermione herself and the rest of the Hogwarts faculty hadn't somehow managed to get themselves outwitted by ''[[Dumb Muscle|Crabbe and Goyle]]''.
* A relativity known ''[[Kung Fu Panda]]'' fanfiction called "[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5704409/1/A_Bullys_Return A Bully's Return]" has a example in Chapter 12. The epic battle that comes not too long after is put in motion when the main character goes to a weapons store to buy [[wikipedia:Sai chr(28)weaponchr(29weapon)|sais]]. After some bartering with the clerk, he lets the main character (which mind you is only 14 or 15 at the time) buy and leave the store with them. '''WITHOUT ANY QUESTIONS'''. '''AT ALL'''. Who in their right mind lets a 14 year old buy something that dangerous and think ''nothing'' is wrong? The bull clerk should be considered [[Too Dumb to Live]].
* The notorious ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]'' [[Troll Fic]] ''[[Pattycakes (Fanfic)|Pattycakes]]'' has this in spades. Sure, Dash. Just let your one chance to escape go rather than risk people seeing you in a nappy. Go ahead, Scoot, confront Psychoshy alone rather than get backup. Oh yeah, and everyone in Ponyville, feel free to indulge Fluttershy's growing obsession with [[Mind Rape|mindraping everyone into submission]]<ref>and this is the ''good'' interpretation - the alternative is that they're very much aware what they're doing and are simply evil</ref>.
 
Line 127:
* ''[[Face Off]]'':
** Keep a dangerous terrorist lunatic in a coma in a hospital that three people know about under ''no security whatsoever'' while a top FBI agent pretends to be him in a super-secret high security prison. Oh, and leave the top FBI agent's face in the hospital so the terrorist lunatic can become the FBI agent. And don't tell the agent's boss, co-workers or the prison's warden about the plan so all the terrorist has to do to make sure no one knows (except the FBI agent, who's got the terrorist's face so no one will believe him) is kill two people. And he has an outgoing phone in his room, allowing him to call anyone if he wakes up.
** This is not even to mention that the entire plot of the movie relies on nobody noticing that [[Nicolas Cage]] and [[John Travolta (Creator)]] have ''switched faces'' in a process that apparently leaves zero scarring. Just their faces. There is a scene wherein Evil Cage-As-Travolta sleeps with Good Travolta-As-Cage's wife of about, let's say fifteen or twenty years, and she flat-out ''does not notice'' that her husband's body is ''completely different''. Tattoos, body hair, scars, moles, ''musculature'', weight, ''his freaking penis'', she does NOT notice. She's been with him for as many as ''twenty years'', she has NO IDEA A SWITCHEROO HAS BEEN MADE, having apparently only paid attention to her husband's face, and absolutely zero to the fact that Nick Cage and John Travolta are built ''completely and utterly differently''.
** Doesn't explain why Archer's wife doesn't notice anything different when she kisses Troy, mind, let alone sleeps with him.
* ''[[X-Men: The Last Stand|X Men the Last Stand]]''
