Ignorant of Their Own Ignorance: Difference between revisions

Characters who are merely Ignorant of Their Own Ignorance are very different from characters such as a [[TedSmall BaxterName, Big Ego]] type or a [[Heteronormative Crusader]]. While a TedSmall Name, Big Ego Baxtertype is narcissistically full of himself and a Heteronormative Crusader is self-righteously narrow-minded, an Ignorant character is merely naive and doesn't know any better. While ultimately innocent, he might still be a villain — often one who is tricked by smarter villains, and thus relatively easy for the heroes to turn against their master by using their [[Evil Cannot Comprehend Good|incomprehensible]] yet efficient [[The Power of Friendship|powers]]. Compare [[Outside Context Villain]], who [[Flaw Exploitation|exploits]] ignorance of even his ''potential'' existence.
