Line 27:
* Used deliberately in ''[[Pokémon Black and White]]'', since the plot is a [[Decon Recon Switch]] of the "cute monster pitfighting" premise. The enemy Team is a [[Animal Wrongs Group|Pokemon rights group]] trying to have said pitfighting activity banned as abuse. By, you know, [[Well-Intentioned Extremist|mugging Trainers]]. Some members are portrayed as ''extremely'' sympathetic, along with their {{spoiler|figurehead}} leader, who is recognized as a hero by the [[Powers That Be]] for his efforts in Pokemon liberation. The others [[Kick the Dog|kick wild Munna]].
** Team Plasma's perspective on things is even more understandable if you play by a [[Self-Imposed Challenge]] whose rules dictate your Pokemon are ''[[Killed Off for Real]]'' if they get KO'd, such as the Nuzlocke Challenge.
* The KKK in ''[[The Sinking City]]'' and are portrayed as you'd expect [[Exactly What it Says on the Tin|the KKK]] in 2019 released period piece. The writing seemed to have forgotten [[HP Lovecraft]]'s fish hybrids ''really are'' non-human abominations that seek to destroy humanity and expects the player to hate the KKK because they're the KKK rather than their opposition being a grim case of [[Right for the Wrong Reasons]].
