Line 55:
* [[Austin Powers]] comes off as something of a chauvinist, being a [[Fish Out of Temporal Water]]; given that the movies are supposed to be campy satires, it's [[Played For Laughs]]
== [[Literature]] ==
* [[Private Detective|Eddie Valiant]] from ''[[Who Censored Roger Rabbit?]]'' (the book that inspired [[Who Framed Roger Rabbit?|the similarly-named film]]) starts out as a shameless [[Fantastic Racism|fantastic racist]], thinking of the Toons as second-class citizens incapable of behaving with dignity or even of feeling the same emotions as humans. Throughout the course of his adventures, however, he learns to chill out and treat everyone's needs equally, eventually understanding that though they're fundamentally different in many ways, Toons are people too. He never stops being a bitter [[Deadpan Snarker]], though.
* The Hunters of Artemis from ''[[Percy Jackson and The Olympians]]'' all hate men and boys, but are willing to help them for the greater good.
* Averted by [[Discworld]]'s Commander Vimes, but played straight by Sergeant Colon, and both are discussed in the same discussion. Fred Colon gets the "product of his time" excuse; he's somewhere in late middle age when he's introduced in ''[[
** It can be summed up as "Sam Vimes only likes other coppers, his wife, their child, and their butler."
* In [[Stephen King]]'s novel ''[[The Running Man (novel)|The Running Man]]'', first published under the pseudonym of Richard Bachman, the main character is this. He uses the words "Negro" and "nigger," both of which mark him as out of place in 2025, an anachronism. Of course, you're still supposed to sympathize with him because he's trying to get onto one of the Network's sadistic game shows in order to make money so that his [[Littlest Cancer Patient|sick infant daughter]] can get decent medical care.
