Kindness is a highly valuable trait in people, but, [[Suicidal Pacifism|if taken to extremes]], also a [[Distressed Damsel|potentially dangerous]] one [[The Farmer and the Viper|to have]]. In episodes where the [[Nice Guy]] and [[Friend to All Living Things]] will unavoidably have to face danger, friends will try to teach them assertiveness, a few self defense moves, or actual fighting techniques to face threats. The problem lies in that they are too timid, half hearted, [[Weak-Willed]] or kind to avoid their [[Extreme Doormat]] tendencies, much less [[Actual Pacifist|actually learn to fight.]]
