(Isn't this theoretical? I think she might count if they showed her actions instead of implying them.)

Line 63:
* [[Holy Shit Quotient]]: Strips #823 to #830: The entire most recent arc of Team Evil so far, includes (within seven strips) {{spoiler|the recovery of the phylactery by the resistance, the summary total annihilation of the resistance (save one member) and recovery of the phylactery by Team Evil, the outing of Redcloak's plan by Tsukiko and Tsukiko's subsequent [[Family-Unfriendly Death|(gruesome)]] death at Redcloak's hands.}} Holy Shit.
* [[Internet Backdraft]]
** For a good time, mention Miko Miyazaki on the[[TV forums—orTropes]]' Forums—or on [[ThisThe VeryOther Tropes Wiki]] itself. This, despite how {{spoiler|she's been ''dead'' for two thirds of the run of the comic}}. Reportedly, the Giant is disgusted.
** Fans also began developing a hatedom for Haley's father Ian for his inaccurate assumptions on the Order of the Stick and his daughter's role in it.
* [[Jerkass Dissonance]]: You could argue that Therkla was treated very sympathetically considering her actions. This is obviously meant as an example of [[Love Redeems]], but she didn't exactly know Elan to any depth and on a closer reading it comes across more like "Unrequited Lust Somehow Redeems". She was happy to kill other Azurites or members of the Order unless he asked her not to, out of loyalty for an ambitious and clearly evil aristocrat. Wanting Elan to leave Haley to be with her wasn't a particularly noble motivation; one wonders if her attraction would be seen as more romantic or creepy if the genders were reversed.
