Politically-Incorrect Villain: Difference between revisions

{{trope}}

 

Want to show that your [[Evil Overlord]], or someone within [[The Empire]] is a genuine bad guy, regardless of their rank in [[The Empire]] or how minor a character they are? Simple, all you have to do is have them [[Kick the Dog]], right? Well, what if there isn't a handy dog around? Have them kick whatever minority race/species or [[Heteronormative Crusader|gender/sexuality]] or [[Kill the Poor|lower class scum]] is around instead to show that they're a ''really'' bad guy. Bonus points if either the heroes or some highly sympathetic character is a member of said minority.

It doesn't always work as well with the [[Magnificent Bastard]] [[Evil Overlord]] types, particularly if introduced late into their run as an antagonist. Because honestly, if the fandom hasn't turned against the Overlord after the character in question may have murdered thousands or even [[A Million Is a Statistic|millions]], enslaved people in [[The Empire]] wholesale, and so on and so forth, is having the character be a little sexist or racist ''really'' going to automatically turn people against them? (In particularly bad cases of [[Misaimed Fandom]] where the fans were already using every scrap of evidence and threadbare argument to argue that the bad guys weren't that bad, you may risk the character's fans declaring this to be a [[Discontinuity]], and possibly even [[Broken Base|splitting the fanbase]]). In these cases, to make it work, you might have to do a purposeful [[Flanderization]] to your character and make them all about their bias. Of course, that will also mean you've gone and derailed your own plot if you need to do it to that extent...

 

 

This is the reason why [[Those Wacky Nazis]] are at the bottom of the villain food chain, and it's a good bet that the Politically Incorrect Villain will be the one going down in an [[Even Evil Has Standards]] team-up.

 

Compare [[Evil Is Petty]]; Contrast [[Equal Opportunity Evil]]. May lead to [[What Do You Mean It's Not Heinous?]] if this character type is thought to be more evil than outwardly flamboyant villains. This should also not be confused with [[Values Dissonance]], where the ''heroes'' behave in this manner (and the narrative [[What the Hell, Hero?|may]] or [[Moral Dissonance|may not]] acknowledge that their attitudes are unjust).

 

* This is a major reason why Nina of ''[[Code Geass]]'' was considered [[The Scrappy]]. Despite the fact that it would be safe to assume that some Britannians are racists, she's the only major character to hold such opinions and thus comes across badly. Though she originally doesn't tout any personal supremacy, she's "just" paranoid that any Eleven might be a terrorist. Later, after {{spoiler|Princess Euphemia's death}} she becomes rather unhinged, and starts considering the use of a weapon that's for all thoughts and purposes a nuke against one man.

** [[Large Ham|Jeremiah Gottwald]] isn't paranoid like Nina, but he's easily the most racist out of everyone in Britannia's army, given that during his brief stint as Margrave of Area 11, he takes a little ''too'' much joy in executing the Japanese. His racism begins to dwindle as he [[Jumping Off the Slippery Slope|begins to lose his sanity due to public humiliation]], and it more or less mellows out after he encounters [[Meido|Sayoko]] several times.

* This seems to be a common trope in [[Jidai Geki]] / whenever there are ronins around. In ''[[Tsukikage Ran]]'', the female ronin protagonist gets a lot of these comments and always trounces those who make them.

* Similarly, ''[[Samurai Champloo]]'' also has a very similar scene to the Kenshin one in its first episode, where a boorish nobleman is sexually harassing the waitresses at the restaurant Fuu works at and generally attacking very threatening. After being promised free food to intervene, [[Sociopathic Hero|Mugen]] slaughters the guy's guards and performs [[Mutilation Interrogation]] on him.

* During Jadeite's final battle against the [[Sailor Moon|Sailor Senshi]], he [[What an Idiot!|out of nowhere makes a number of sexist and disparaging remarks about them, their intelligence, and their fighting abilities]]. [[Car Fu|They then run him over with an airplane.]]

** Later, [[Filler Villain]] Ail/Alan makes a remark about "[[Loves the Sound of Screaming|the screaming of young girls are music to my ears!]]" Yikes....

* 5th Espada, Nnoitra Gilga from ''[[Bleach]]'' gets a mention because his blatant sexism is a huge part of his personality. He openly attacked Nelliel because she was a woman that ranked higher than he did (although she beat him rather soundly every time). Even saying that a woman being of a higher position than a man on the battlefield was a disgrace. He even went into a huge, convoluted plan just to get rid of her that entails some of the most cruel activities done by any of the Espada. He seems to hold this toward Harribel as well, as during their introductions, the first thing he does is piss her off by apparently trying to pick a fight with her.

** And this is implied to be the case with the final arc's new enemies, {{spoiler|the Vandenreich. Just ''listen'' to their '''name''', and the implications sink in.}}

 

* The Homelander, a twisted [[Captain Ersatz]] for [[Superman]] in ''[[The Boys]]'' is a ginormous racist, as well as a misogynist and a rapist. In two separate issues he shouts a racial epithet just before (or just after) killing a minority villain. There's also the [[Captain Marvel]] knock-off, Storm Front, who is an actual Nazi.

** Most of the superpowered people in the Boys universe are either racist, misogynistic or homophobic just to drive home how screwed up they are.

* Variant in ''[[The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen]]'', the [[Big Bad]] of the first book is depicted as a homophobe just to bump up his villain credentials (despite the fact that this would have hardly made him unusual in the Victorian era). Likewise, in the third volume, the more misogynistic qualities of [[James Bond]] and the more reactionary qualities of [[Bulldog Drummond]] are played up.

** It's worth noting the Red Skull has since renounced Nazism in favor of his own brand of nihilism. Why? He thought Nazism was ''too morally restrictive''.

* A one-shot [[Axes At School|killer-schoolkid]] character in [[Grant Morrison]]'s ''[[X-Men (Comic Book)|X-Men]]'', in explaining why he killed a mutant and harvested his organs, included the aside "Yes, he was gay, but that's incidental to my cause."

* Close to all of the villains in ''[[Wanted (Comic Book)|Wanted]]'' are this. The Future is definitely the worst though, as he is an unapologetic Nazi and misogynist.

* If somebody says anything even remotely homophobic in the [[The Authority|Midnighter's]] comic book series, they're evil. Period.

* In the ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'' comics [[Anti-Villain|Dracula]] is portrayed as simply politically incorrect, without malice behind it, his attitudes being mainly [[Racist Grandma|a result of extraordinary age]].

* Writers who don't like presenting [[Doctor Doom]] as a [[Noble Demon]] will sometimes make him more unsympathetic by having him voice racist and sexist sentiments. This is at odd with Doom's more frequent characterization as having egalitarian views (in the anti-bigotry, not (obviously) in a pro-democracy sense), and who loathes bigotry on account of his Roma ancestry. Fans [[Fanon Discontinuity|tend to conclude]] that bigoted Dooms were [[Actually a Doombot|actually malfunctioning Doombots]].

* [[Norman Osborn]] is one. He is sexist, violent xenophobe, admires Hitler and the [[Red Skull]]. White supremacists believe he is a true hero of white Americans.

 

 

== Film ==

* ''[[The Shining]]'': where Grady tells Jack that the [[Magical Negro]] that helps the family is "a nigger".

* Frank Costello of ''[[The Departed]]'' mentions a distaste for "niggers" in his opening monologue. While it is shown to have historical significance this racism fails to show up in any significant way within the plot - it is only used to establish, mere seconds into the movie, that this guy is not a good man.

** Oddly, [[Big Bad]] Hedley Lamarr doesn't show as much blatant bigotry as his henchmen, Mr. Taggart and Lyle. Hell, he doesn't show as much racism as the [[Innocent Bystanders]] that the black sheriff is protecting! When hiring outlaws the [[Big Bad]] advertises himself as an [[Equal Opportunity Evil|Equal Opportunity Employer]] and specifically mentions in his famous [[Long List]] that he wants criminals of many different races and backgrounds working for him. On the other hand, he doesn't hesitate to [[Would Hit a Girl|slap Lily around]] and insult her German ancestry when she does a [[High Heel Face Turn]].

** He also is in charge of appropriating land in Colorado from the local Indians, justifying this by claiming "they're such children." (His boss, Governor Le Petomane, doesn't object, even adding that the Indians are "little red devils." And he's supposed to be a ''good'' guy!)

* Velma Von Tussle in the ''[[Hairspray]]'' movie is not only racist, but makes cruel comments to the heroine about her weight. Granted, the movie (and original film) show that lots of people were racist during this time period, but it is an extra [[Kick the Dog]] for her.

* One of several reasons why the ''[[Wild Wild West (film)|Wild Wild West]]'' film was poorly rated, is that the somewhat likable Loveless of the television series was transformed into a racist bigot who is constantly making racial slurs and jokes against [[Will Smith]]'s Jim West. Also troubling is that the original Loveless was a midget and this one is an amputee, the subject for [[Pay Evil Unto Evil|West's slurs against him]]. [[Hurricane of Puns|Lots of]] [[Dude, Not Funny]] on both sides.

* Speaking of Disney villains, who could forget Claude Frollo from ''[[The Hunchback of Notre Dame (Disney film)|The Hunchback of Notre Dame]]''? He wins extra points for being a [[Complete Monster|''genocidal'' racist.]]

** To be fair, while it is an unnecessary addition to the ''original'' character, the movie actually bends the plot around his racism - it launches the plot by being the reason he gets stuck with Quasimodo in the first place (he chases and treats Quasi's mother coldly because he's racist); his attempted genocide helps to bond Esmeralda and Quasimodo while also pushing Pheobus to betray him; and it adds an extra layer to his crisis of faith about his lust for Esmeralda.

** Jack Woltz, while not a true villain in the movie (in the book he's a much more distasteful individual), he quickly loses any sympathy he may have had by throwing literally every slur in the book against Italians at Tom Hagen ''in a single sentence''.When Tom points out that he's actually part Irish and part German, Woltz then refers to Tom as "My kraut-mick friend."

*** For some, the sheer ''number'' of slurs [[Crosses the Line Twice]] into [[Refuge in Audacity]].

* Cyrus the Virus from ''[[Con Air]]'' says a lot of racist comments toward Pinball and Baby-O.

* While their support for slavery makes them inherently politically incorrect villains, the Confederate States in the [[Alternate History]] ''[[CSA: Confederate States of America]]'' is also highly sexist, and while like the actual United States, it had Chinese laborers in the 19th century, they chose to enslave theirs. They also decided to be Christian-only, and thus their Jewish population either fled or were allowed to live on <s>ghettos</s> reservations.

** {{spoiler|Which makes his eventual [[Death by Racism|decapitation by train]] less disturbing than it could have been.}}

* In ''[[Trading Places]]'', the [[Eddie Murphy]] character overhears the Dukes comment how, of course, they can't "have a nigger run our family business". Before that, you could see the Dukes as affably dotty. That reveal tells the audience that the Dukes deserve whatever they get (impoverishment, and in one case, a life-threatening heart attack).

* Miles Quaritch from ''[[Avatar (film)|Avatar]]'' expresses [[Fantastic Racism]] in the sense that it applies to another species than another race. That said, the very nature of his remarks ''very'' closely resembles conventional racism.

* Arty Clay, who runs [[The Mafia]] in ''[[King of New York]]'', is a vocally anti-black racist, in stark contrast to the [[Equal Opportunity Evil]] of the title character.

* In ''[[Snatch]]'', the fence Avi continually refers to [[The Mafiya|Boris]] as a "Cossack."

* An unusual example in the first ''[[Kill Bill]]'' movie: Boss Tanaka, a member of the ''yakuza'' crime council, does not believe that a half-Chinese, American-born woman (O-Ren Ishii) should be the leader of a Japanese criminal syndicate. Unusual in that O-Ren is ''herself'' a villain and even displays politically incorrect tendencies of her own later on (against Caucasians), and also in that Tanaka is not gleeful or bullying like many of the other examples on this page, but ''genuinely upset'' that the council members are causing their ancestors to "weep in the afterlife" by appointing a "half-breed bitch" their leader (and it should be noted that the other gang bosses do not agree with Tanaka at all, and [[The Complainer Is Always Wrong|even mock him]]). O-Ren promptly [[Death by Racism|slices off Tanaka's head]], explaining that she is willing to take criticism but that any questioning of either her nationality or her ethnic heritage [[Berserk Button|will not be tolerated]].

** The most frustrating thing about this portrayal is that the Communist International was actually ''anti-racist'', so much so that black civil rights leaders were warned not to cozy up to Communists, because [[Don't Shoot the Message|that would validate the charge that civil rights was an exclusively Communist enterprise, and thus anti-American]].

* ''[[Coonskin]]'' by [[Ralph Bakshi]], being an animated [[Blaxploitation Parody]] film, had many racist characters and racial stereotypes throughout the movie. But we see the most blatant example in Officer Madigan, a cop of the mobs payroll. He's both racist and homophobic even towards the son of his mob boss who is a blatant homosexual. He goes as far as to refuse to bathe before meeting with some black street level thugs who also work for his boss (In his words, they ain't worth it). He gets a combo of [[Death by Racism]] and [[Color Me Black]], when "Brother Rabbit" drugs him with some acid leaving him in full blackface, armed, and wearing a dress. This caused him to fly off the handle and shoot it out with some other cops and get riddles with bullets.

''Doorman:'' Any whites. }}

* The horror film ''[[Frontiers]]'' features a family of neo-Nazis who frequently use racial slurs.

 

== Literature ==

** There was the Diversity Alliance an [[Anti-Human Alliance|anti human]] terrorist organization who plan on killing all humans with a [[Depopulation Bomb|bio-weapon]] that only targets humans.

* In ''[[Layer Cake]]'', as he sells out his employees to a [[Dirty Cop]], gangster Jimmy Prince makes racial slurs against black associate Morty and is homophobic towards the protagonist, who while not gay, is not sufficiently "manly" for Jimmy's standards. Thanks to a [[Magnificent Bastard]] fellow gangster, Jimmy's crew are made privy to a tape of these comments {{spoiler|and the protagonist shoots him in the head}}.

* In the [[Dan Brown]] novel ''[[Deception Point]]'', Senator Sexton at one point thinks to himself while discussing toning down his condemnation of same-sex marriage for campaigning purposes "If it were up to me, the faggots wouldn't even have the right to vote". His actions only get more despicable from there.

* Earning it [[Discontinuity]] status, the fourth ''[[Earthsea Trilogy|Earthsea]]'' novel, ''Tehanu'', turns a villain who was previously defined by [[Immortality Immorality]] into a raging misogynist.

* ''[[Warrior Cats]]'': Tigerstar. ''very'' much Tigerstar. As well as his [[Ho Yay|#1 follower]], Darkstripe. [[A Nazi by Any Other Name|Tigerstar parallels Hitler]] in ''several'' ways, and has attempted genocide in the form of public executions during a propaganda rally where he called [[Fantastic Racism|halfClan cats "filth"]]. Although probably the most flagrant example, it certainly isn't the only one.

* The Republic of Gilead in ''[[The Handmaid's Tale]]'' is already in this territory given their attitude toward women, but for further dog-kicking, is their attitude toward other religions. When expelling Jews from America, they [[Does This Remind You of Anything?|sent large numbers of them on boats supposedly destined for Israel. The boats were deliberately sunk in the middle of the water.]]

* Patrick Bateman in ''[[American Psycho]]'' is an insane, sadistic serial killer, and also racist, anti-semitic, sexist and homophobic.

** All his friends and colleagues are too. Those qualities were meant to be a reflection of the 1980's Wall Street high society in which he lived rather than a flaw specific to Bateman alone. Other than the serial killing, of course (maybe).

* Henry Bowers of [[Stephen King]]'s ''[[IT]]'' is one of these in a nutshell. He hates Stanley Uris because he's Jewish, Mike Hanlon because he's black, Eddie Kaspbrak because of his asthma, Bill Denbrough because of his stutter, Richie Tozier for his glasses and his smart mouth, Ben Hanscomb because of his weight, and Beverly Marsh because she's female. Really, he's pretty much an all-around asshole.

** This will of course cross over into [[Freudian Excuse]] territory, but Henry ''is'' beaten by his father at home, and (in his embittered mind, anyway) needs weaker people (''especially'' if they are outcasts) to bully in order to cope with his rage. Also, his father is a racist, who blames black people for all of his misfortunes. It doesn't excuse his actions, but it does lend some deeper meaning to this trope.

** [[Stephen King]] ''loves'' this trope. Nearly all of his villains are racist or sexist in some way. Even the [[Hell Hotel|Overlook]] [[Genius Loci|Hotel]] from [[The Shining]] refers to [[Magical Negro|Halloran]] as a "jungle bunny." [[Everything Is Racist|Even the buildings are racist in the King-verse]].

* [[Flashman]] is this in spades, and it's just one of his [[Unsympathetic Comedy Protagonist|many endearing features]]. He's a serial adulterer who lies outrageously to woo other mens' wives, he treats the lower classes with condescension, and he's a shameless racist to boot.

* [[Complete Monster|Captain Shannon]] in ''The First Casualty'' by [[Ben Elton]]. His racism, misogyny, and homophobia are some of his ''nicer'' traits.

* One of the easier ways to pick out the villain in an ''[[Honor Harrington]]'' novel is to find the guy whose inner monologue puts her down for being either a woman, or not born nobility, or both.

 

== Live-Action TV ==

** The ''Doctor Who'' episode "Human Nature" features an already fairly unlikeable snobby public schoolboy who then snidely comments to Martha, who's working undercover as a maid, "with hands that colour, how can you tell when anything's clean?". This was more to cement his unsympathetic nature rather than his evil nature, as a few scenes later he dies at the hands of some aliens in such a way that [[Asshole Victim|the audience is not meant to feel sorry for him]].

* [[Mutant Enemy]] productions indulge in this from time to time, but the most obvious is in the ''[[Firefly]]'' episode "Heart of Gold" where the Villain of the Week, Rance Burgess, is misogynistic to such an extent that he apparently forces a traitorous prostitute to well... suck him off in front of his lynch mob, in order to prove his superiority over women.

*** Which has [[Unfortunate Implications]] as it's saying all men secretly hate women, but then this is Joss Whedon.

** Mostly played for laughs, but the head of the Italian W&F branch had a lot of spite towards gypsies.

** The guy from the ''[[Law and Order SVU|Law & Order: Special Victims Unit]]'' episode "Execution" spoke in a similar manner, actually calling his first victim "the thing" once or twice.

* ''[[Mitchell]]'' starts out with John Saxon's character murdering an unarmed minority burglar, then planting a gun on the body in order to claim self-defense. When the police shows up, he tosses out a "wetback" comment for good measure.

** He finally got his comeuppance in "The Quest, Part II" when Carter got fed up and punched him in the face. [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|CMoA]], indeed.

* Inverted in ''[[That Mitchell and Webb Look]]'' with Captain Todger, the [[Politically Incorrect Hero|racist, sexist, homophobic superhero]] and General Drayfox, the evil but incredibly PC supervillain.

* On ''[[The Wire]]'', any time a gangster refers to Omar using an anti-gay slur instead of his name, [[Drinking Game|take a shot]].

* ''[[Glee]]'' has resident [[Smug Snake]] [[Invisible to Gaydar]] [[Alliteration|Sebastian Smythe]] cement his descent to full-on villain by insulting [[Camp Gay]] Kurt Hummel's fashion choices with a sexist slur, and offering to have his father, an [[Amoral Attorney]], throw [[Spicy Latina]] Santana Lopez 'in prison with the rest of her relatives.' [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking|Or deliver them a piñata.]]

 

== Professional Wrestling ==

* Around 2004/2005, Chavo Guerrero came to the conclusion that his Hispanic heritage was a disadvantage he needed to reject to "reach his full potential". Chavo died his hair blond, used makeup to make his skin appear "less Mexican" then changed his name to Kerwin White. Kerwin set out to prove his whiteness by wearing khaki pants with collared polo shirts, golfing and ''attacking black wrestlers''. To insult fans, Kerwin justified his behavior by noting on the day of his first appearance in the WWE his WWE.com page had three times the traffic that [[That Man Is Dead|Chavo's]] had the previous month. Kerwin also periodically updated fans on how he was adjusting to life in "Middle Class America".

* And then there's Paul Heyman, who in his run as a heel manager was very much disparaging of Hispanic wrestlers. In an episode of Smackdown, after a match between Rey Mysterio and the late [[Eddie Guerrero]], Heyman showed up in order to deliver a bigoted speech to them about how they can "forget about being drafted" and how he hopes that the two of them and their families get deported before ranting on about his "vision" for Smackdown. Heyman got his comeuppance quickly when he made the mistake of closing his rant with [[Tempting Fate|"...and there's not a man alive who's gonna stand in my way,"]] which prompted [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-KfOIr1HGtc the Undertaker to show up and kick his ass.]

** He actually inverted the trope in a sense when on one episode of ''Monday Night Raw'' R-Truth (who is black) came down to the ring dressed as a ''Confederate general'' (to make the point that he wanted to "secede" from WWE). Justified in that R-Truth had pretty much gone insane by this point (and also in that [[Reality Is Unrealistic|there]] ''[[Reality Is Unrealistic|were]]'' [[Reality Is Unrealistic|black Confederate soldiers toward the end of the American Civil War]], but that's neither here nor there).

* [[John Bradshaw Layfield]] in his JBL gimmick was racist against Asians and Latinos, and a misogynist to boot. He also couldn't stand foreigners of any kind, even if they were white. However, this did not stop him from loudly supporting ''all'' the heels, even the nonwhite ones, when he was an [[Affably Evil]] color commentator alongside [[Michael Cole]] for a year or so, and even calling Cole a "xenophobe" when Cole tried to criticize foreign heels. Whether this was intended as [[Hypocritical Humor]] or was just a [[Zig-Zagging Trope]] is hard to determine.

 

== Tabletop Games ==

** Orks will kill anything that isn't considered orky enough. Including other orks.

 

== Theater ==

** (Partially?) averted when a song points out that everybody is a little bit racist.

* ''[[Finian's Rainbow]]'' has Rawkins, a bigoted Senator, who due to a wish made on top of Leprechaun's pot of gold is turned into an African-American.

 

* Copperfield and the Creeper from ''[[The Suffering]]: Ties That Bind.'' One's a slave hunter with an approach to work taken from ''[[The Most Dangerous Game]]''; the other's a misogynistic ex-pimp serial killer who uses the corpses of his victims as [[Combat Tentacles]].

* The titular [[MacGuffin]] of ''[[Syphon Filter]]'' is a virus designed to target specific races.

* In ''[[Prototype (video game)|Prototype]]'', Hope, Idaho was used for an experiment {{spoiler|to ''develop'' a virus that might as well be [[Syphon Filter]]}}.

* Quite a bit of [[Karma Meter|Renegade]] choices in ''[[Mass Effect]]'' follow this trope, ranging from [[Evil Is Petty|insulting your non-human teammates]] to actual genocide and [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking|supporting a "humans first" political party]].

* The Watcher in ''[[Darksiders]]'' isn't content with merely being a [[Jerkass]] to War. He also talks down to the Archangel Uriel, calling her "wench" and "whore" while ordering War to finish her off. In a [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]], War refuses to obey despite the Watcher's attempts to force obedience. Like the rest of his jackassery, this bites the Watcher in the ass when {{spoiler|Uriel chops off his hand and breaks the Seventh Seal, freeing War in the process.}}

* In ''[[Anchorhead]]'', the [[Big Bad]] {{spoiler|Croesus, possessing the protagonist's husband Michael}} uses sexist insults against the female protagonist.

** They also are racist to Ghouls and Super Mutants, something that almost no one else cares about, however they at least don't shot them on sight.

** Lead Designer Joshua Sawyer has noted that ''everyone'' in the legion is Caesar's slave.

 

== Web Comics ==

* Dr. Nofun from ''[[Sluggy Freelance]]'' has comically intense misogyny, alternately painting women as stupid and useless, and evil schemers out to destroy all men. {{spoiler|Subverted when it turns out to be just an act -- the weak-willed women and terrified men that would want to work for someone who shows this kind of behavior are easy to manipulate.}}

* [http://www.smbc-comics.com/index.php?db=comics&id=2453#comic This] ''[[Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal]]'' portrays an accidental example.

 

== Web Originals ==

'''Goku:''' AAAAGH! That was in terrible taste!

'''Vegeta:''' Don't care! Evil! *Crushes* }}

* [[Played for Laughs]] by ''[[Mastermind (web animation)|Mastermind]]'' who, among other things, schedules an appointment with one of his lackeys ''just'' to harass him for being named "Gaylord."

{{quote|'''Mastermind:''' Because your name ''doesn't'' have the word "gay" in it.

'''Gaylord:''' It also has the word "lord"!

'''Gaylord:''' [[Berserk Button|Did. You. Actually. Need. Me. For something. Sir??]] }}

 

== Western Animation ==

* The Monarch from ''[[The Venture Brothers]]'' dabbles in this from time to time. He is never outrageously offensive, but the intent is there when he uses the word "retard" in front of the mentally challenged Ned. [[Word of God|Doc Hammer]] said that the dialogue exchange was inspired by his mother lecturing him about using the word in the show, but Hammer saying the point is that The Monarch is a villain and doesn't care about political correctness.

* Eric Cartman from ''[[South Park]]'' could be considered a politically incorrect [[Villain Protagonist]].

*** ...Which is perfectly in character for her. It is established quite early in the series that she's something of a hypocrite.

* In ''[[Celebrity Deathmatch]]'', there's a fight where [[wikipedia:John Rocker|John Rocker]] battles Derek Jeter. Unsurprisingly, John Rocker doesn't get the most sympathetic of portrayals and is electrocuted to death by the match's end.

* ''[[Generator Rex]]'': the Constortium, who are part of the [[Big Bad Ensemble]] in season 3, are incredibly obvious misogynes. Of course, since their lieutnant [[The Starscream|Black Knight]] is a [[Magnificent Bastard|Magnificent Bitch]] and a [[Dark Action Girl]], this ends up bitting them VERY hard in the ass...

* ''[[Ben 10: Alien Force]]'' gives use the Highbreeds, who are bascally an alien version of the Nazis. In the same vein, the Forever Knights were portrayed as a paramilitary, [[Fantastic Racism|anti-alien]] group with fanatical behaviour during the Alien Force/Ultimate Alien era (though they were more stoic and rationnal scientists in the original series).
