* Brutally inverted and then subverted in ''[[House (TV)|House]]''. House has a deep faith in the negative attributes of humanity. His favorite phrases are "everybody lies" and "people don't change." Cameron, and later Thirteen, try to prove him wrong whenever possible. However, just about every patient House has lied to him and usually also the patient's family.

* [[Doctor Who ~~(TV)~~|The Doctor]] is an...interesting case. He'll occasionally go on a very vehement [[Humans Are Bastards]] phase, calling them violent, selfish and stupid, and then, something will happen (usually sparked by his companion) that restores his faith in them. After all, there's got to be a ''reason'' he hangs out on Earth so much.

* {{spoiler|The Silvite Elders}} in ''[[Skies of Arcadia (Video Game)|Skies of Arcadia]]''.

* In the ''[[Tokimeki Memorial]]'' series, this is the storylines of [[Broken Bird|Kaori Yae]] (in ''2'') and [[Hikikomori|Taku Komori]] (in ''Girl's Side 2'') in a nutshell. Thanks to their relationship with their respective games' protagonist, they get to realize that there are trustworthy people out there, and as a result they gradually open themselves to others. Takafumi Wakaouji in ''GS2'' also claims in his ending that the heroine has restored his faith in humanity, although this seems to be a bit of an exaggeration.

* In ''[[Shin Megami Tensei]]: [[Strange Journey]]'', {{spoiler|resurrected Commander Gore}} has received the power of supernatural insight, or "brilliance," from the Schwarzwelt. Upon {{spoiler|briefly returning to the Red Sprite in the Neutral Path, he assures the crew that he has seen into humanity's future, and --despite having been revived and manipulated by [[~~Gaias~~ Vengeance|the forces behind the Schwarzwelt]]-- he implies that humanity can improve itself and prevent its self-destruction if given a chance to survive}}.

** In ''[[Shin Megami Tensei Nocturne]]'''s "Resurrection" Ending, {{spoiler|[[Apocalypse Maiden|Miss Takao]], who started the game thinking humanity could no longer advance and needed to be wiped out for the world to advance, has come to realize the foolishness of this line of thinking. Whether humanity continues to stagnate, or whether it actually improves itself after the old world's resurrection, your example has given her faith in the possibility of the latter, and she'll never wish for humanity's destruction again}}.
