Compare [[Pure Is Not Good]] and [[Virginity Makes You Stupid]]. The related idea of the "Fall" being a good thing is very common (perhaps even required) in works where [[God Is Evil]] and/or [[Satan Is Good]]. See also [[Ignorance Is Bliss]], [[Kids Are Cruel]]. [[Obliviously Evil]] is related.

== Anime and Manga ==
* Sensui from ''[[Yu Yu Hakusho]]'' has the same sort of thing going for him, although it's played off a bit differently. A devout Demon-Hunter from childhood, with a moral-code so rigid that watching a group of [[Humans Are the Real Monsters|humans raping, torturing and murdering]] dozens of [[Dark Is Not Evil|innocent-and-helpless demons]] shattered his mind into seven personalities and set all of him off on a genocidal fit of raging misanthropy.
