The Right of a Superior Species: Difference between revisions

Overlaps heavily with [[Social Darwinist]], type three. Contrast [[Alien Non-Interference Clause]]. See also [[Can't Argue with Elves]]. A species that practices this trope is probably '''not''' a [[Superior Species]].

{{examples}}

* In ''[[Wicked City]]'', Makie's ex-lover Jin tries to make her admit this by saying, "Human are lower-class creatures than us. They're only fit for slavery. ''That's'' their heritage."

* ''[[Puella Magi Madoka Magica]]'''s [[Cute Is Evil|Kyubee]] plays with this trope. {{spoiler|He turned vunerable teenage girls into magical girls in order to fight witches, but doesn't tell them that he does so by turning them into [[Our Liches Are Different|Liches]]. Then the girls find out that if they don't keep their [[Transformation Trinket|Soul Gem]] pure, they become witches too, and it '''then''' it turns out he's doing all this to collect energy to fight the Heat death of the universe. He justifies it by wanting to prevent said heat death, and by the fact that his kind has been assisting humanity since the stone age. All this while subtly implying that his race regards humanity the way humanity regards cattle. However, Kyubee doesn't have emotions, so he doesn't do this because he thinks he superior to humanity (or at least that's not the most important reason). He does it because they need to prevent the universe ending, and this is the most efficient way to do it.}}
