Politically-Incorrect Hero: Difference between revisions

Line 4:

Usually, in modern stories, a character who's [[Politically-Incorrect Villain|a sexist, racist, or something else of that kind]] is the bad guy. This is mostly due to the present day view that prejudice is [[And That's Terrible|generally bad]].

Sometimes, either due to an [[~~Author~~ On Board]], [[Values Dissonance]], [[Rule of Cool]] or [[Perverse Sexual Lust|something else]] on the part of the audience, a character can get away with opinions that are... controversial. If the excuse is well-done, it can work. If not, it seems like a [[Karma Houdini]]. Unless, of course, he is punished for it.

See: [[Bury Your Gays]] because it's disturbing how similarly these two often work. Also see [[Good Flaws, Bad Flaws]] for a more thorough analysis of "discrimination as a flaw".
