Politically-Incorrect Hero: Difference between revisions

 

See: [[Bury Your Gays]] because it's disturbing how similarly these two often work. Also see [[Good Flaws, Bad Flaws]] for a more thorough analysis of "discrimination as a flaw".

 

== Anime and Manga ==

* ''[[Ranma ½]]'': A surprisingly common [[Fanon]] viewpoint of Ranma Saotome is that he is at least mildly misogynistic, though in reality he is not very sexist at all, indeed much less so than an average Japanese guy, he just does not like [[Involuntary Shapeshifting|being turned against his will]] into a [[Gender Bender|girl]], which for him is an unnatural state that [[Curse|causes him many problems]]. Since he does not like being a girl [[Fan Dumb|people assume that he must view males as better than females]]. Those that don't usually point towards his [[Wouldn't Hit a Girl|unwillingness to fight back against]] [[Official Couple|Akane Tendo]], even though she frequently gives him an [[Armor-Piercing Slap]], and/or towards his telling her that guys sometimes go easier on girls they like, shortly after Kuno's introduction.

* [[Ray Winstone|Cpt. Stanley]] in ''[[The Proposition]]'' really does mean well, but he's certainly a man of his time in terms of his views on gender politics.

* Mr. Wong in ''[[Norbit]]''.

* Gus, the dad in ''[[My Big Fat Greek Wedding]]''.

* The truncated ending to ''[[The Twilight Zone]]'' film segment "A Quality of Mercy" seems to suggest this, as Mr. Conner ends up shipped to off to his death in a concentration camp as punishment for simply being a bigot, with the [[Unfortunate Implications]] that bigotry not only should not be forgiven, but it ''cannot'' be forgiven. Of course, this message was not intended: Mr. Conner was going to be redeemed in the original ending after risking himself to save two young Vietnamese children, but a tragic [[Real Life Writes the Plot|freak accident on set]] forced the director to go with the much darker ending shown in the film.
