=== Fictional Examples: ===
 
* In ''[[Sabrina Online (Webcomic)|Sabrina Online]]'', Sheila does this when Sabrina gives a lukewarm review of ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]''.
* On ''[[Family Guy (Animation)|Family Guy]]'', the Griffin family tears Peter a new one after he announces that he didn't care for ''[[The Godfather (Film)|The Godfather]]''. It's based on the typical reaction to [[Seth MacfarlaneMacFarlane]] saying the same.
* In ''[[I CarlyICarly]]'', Freddie saying he doesn't think [[Fred]] is that funny results in him [[Disproportionate Retribution|losing every friendship he has and being ostracised from every club, his family calls up to abuse him, and in the end is beaten up by Sam with a tennis racquet and forced to directly apologize to Fred]].
** To be fair though, his comments did cause Fred to stop putting up new videos...
*** Except Fred did this as a publicity stunt to gain more views when he eventually came back. He claimed it would help iCarly too, but he ''didn't even tell them the plan'' (at least then Freddie would have had Sam and Carly on his side) until after Freddie was beaten with said racquet. So he actually [[Invoked Trope|weaponized this trope]] to gain more popularity than ever.
** [[Irony|Which kind of makes him guilty of the same thing.]]
* In ''[[Community (TV)|Community]]'', Jeff makes a passing reference to not liking the band 'The Barenaked Ladies' and is immediately attacked by the entire study group.
* One cover of [[She Hulk]] comic books included She-Hulk herself crumpling up the comicbook and threatening to beat the crap out of everyone for not reading her series.
* In the ''My Little Pony'' fanfiction ''[[Turnabout Storm (Fanfic)|Turnabout Storm]]'', [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)|Rainbow Dash]] gets quite upset at [[Ace Attorney (Visual Novel)|Phoenix Wright]] for not knowing who The Wonderbolts (a group of pegasi acrobats which Dash is a huge fan of) are. Nevermind Phoenix has barely spent one hour [[Trapped in Another World|trapped in Equestria]].
* Lampshaded with Yamaguchi from [[Cromartie High School]]. He has thought of himself saying that [[Show Within a Show|Pootan]] (to him) is stupid.
* During his stand-up tour of [[New Zealand]], [[Billy Connolly]] shared an anecdote about how he saw a group of New Zealanders attack a fellow countryman. On asking why they did it, one replied: "He hasn't seen ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]'' yet."
* [[The Nostalgia Critic (Web Video)|The Nostalgia Critic]] got physically assaulted by celebrity guest stars for criticizing ''[[Ponyo]]'' (even though he started by saying that he liked it), and a crowd of Anime fans for not liking ''[[Film/Howls Moving Castle|Howls Moving Castle]]''.
