▲{{examples}}
== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* In an episode of ''[[Cardcaptor Sakura]]'', a strange old man befriends ten-year-old Sakura. {{spoiler|It turns out to be her great grandfather, but she didn't know it at the time and went off with what could very well have been a creep showing unnatural interest in her}}. [[Moral Guardians]] were ''so'' very unamused.
== [[Literature]] ==
* In ''[[Moby Dick]]'', Ishmael isn't put off by having to share a bed with a complete stranger, until he discovers the stranger in question is a [[Wild Samoan]]. An example of [[Values Dissonance]], as that was how inns and guest houses worked back then. A bed to yourself was very, very expensive.
* Ayla and Jondoloar from the ''[[Earth's Children]]'' series are constantly meeting new people, who are (almost) always helpful and friendly.
* In ''[[Lonely Werewolf Girl]]'' Moonglow and Daniel take in werewolf Kalix no questions asked, even when they know she is a werewolf with self destructive tendencies, no social skills, and hunted by, well pretty much everyone.
== [[Live Action TV]] ==
Line 24:
** Cash in their entire life savings - and hand the cash over to him - to bet on a horse race!
** Take out a mortgage on their homes - and hand it over to him - to invest in the stock market.
** Take his word for it when a loved-one is sick or missing. Most people are satisfied with, "I think I know where to find him," or "You're just going to have to trust me." Never mind that Johnathan is a drifter with no ID and a new job in every episode.
== [[Mythology]] ==
* Played straight in ''[[Odyssey|The Odyssey]]'', where ''many'' characters take care of main hero Odysseus.
== [[Real Life]] ==▼
* An aspect of this fits into the general aspect of hitchhiking and picking up hitchhikers. Hitchhiking was once considered a perfectly reasonable way for young people to travel, and it was considered bad hospitality to not pick up stranded travelers along the way. Now, the general feeling is to lock one's doors; both the hitchhikers and the drivers expect the other to be scumbags who will take advantage of them, attack them, or [[Bread, Eggs, Breaded Eggs|take advantage of them and then attack them]].▼
** Many an older person will tell you that you didn't have to be as careful a few decades ago as you do now, but it's hard to know if that's the [[Nostalgia Filter]] talking if you weren't there.▼
== [[Video Games]] ==
Line 39 ⟶ 35:
== [[Western Animation]] ==
* [[The Simpsons (animation)|The Simpsons]] [[Musical Episode]] "[[A Streetcar Named Desire|Oh, Streetcar]]" featured a song which had a message of "A stranger's just a friend you haven't met yet!" This is a parody of the same line's darkly ironic use in the original play.
