* ''[[Star Wars]]: [[Knights of the Old Republic]] II''. If you give a beggar some money, Kreia's [[What the Hell, Hero?]] [[Lampshadeslampshade]]s the trope.
{{quote|'''Kreia:''' If you seek to aid everyone that suffers in the galaxy, you will only weaken yourself... and weaken them. It is the internal struggles, when fought and won on their own, that yield the strongest rewards. You stole that struggle from them, cheapened it. If you care for others, then dispense with pity and sacrifice and recognize the value in letting them fight their own battles. And when they triumph, they will be even stronger for the victory.}}
** The speech is punctuated by the beggar being beaten up for the money ''you'' gave him, and even if you choose the dark side option and send the beggar away, [[Cruelty Is the Only Option|he gets beaten up anyway by the guy you just threatened]].
