Line 61:
* Billy Costigan in ''[[The Departed]]'', to Madolyn.
* Roger Davis from ''[[Rent]]''. The guy has HIV and is really, really cranky, but is still beloved by any straight girl.
* John Bender in the mid-1980s [[Brat Pack (actors)|Brat Pack]] film, ''[[The Breakfast Club]]''
* Jason Dean from the film ''[[Heathers]]'' fits this trope, though he eventually reveals himself to be a psychopath.
* The ''[[Spider-Man (film)|Spider-Man]]'' movies' [[James Dean]]-esque version of Harry Osborn. {{spoiler|At least, before he was scarred in ''Spider-Man 3''. [[Your Mileage May Vary]], though. Some people thought he was still cute with the scars}}.
Line 151:
* Shadow the Hedgehog from the [[Sonic]] games has had a [[Dead Little Sister|very troubled past]] and is considered cute [[Furry Fandom|to some]].
** Tikal the Echidna has a very troubled past and is very, very cute.
* [[Alpha Bitch|Renee]] of ''[[Mana Khemia: Alchemists of Al -Revis]]'' cites this as a reason why she puts up with her partner Tony's "quirks".
{{quote|'''Renee''': Ugh, you're so stubborn... I kinda like that.
'''Tony''': Now's not the time for that! }}
* The protagonist from ''[[Jak and Daxter]]'' becomes this as of the second game. You know, after all the ''Dark Eco experimentation''.
* ''[[Mass Effect]]'' presents [[Fan Nickname|FemShep's]] potential male love interests, in order of least-to-most emotional baggage: Jacob (refuses to be thought of as a "baggage guy") -> Kaidan ([[Training Fromfrom Hell]], [[Blessed with Suck]]) -> Garrus ([[Cowboy Cop]] with a lot of survivor guilt come the second game) -> Thane (former assassin who made his first kill when he was twelve). Now, where [[Bi the Way|Liara]] would fit on this scale is another question...
* Both non-DLC male Love Interests in ''[[Dragon Age II]]'', [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshaded]] on occasion by [[Genre Savvy|Varric]].
* Zelos Wilder from ''[[Tales of Symphonia]]'': he's a young, playful womanizer with long, red hair, flirting with every woman and having a bunch of Fangirls (his "Hunnies"). But later in the game, it is revealed that {{spoiler|he never had any real parents, his father was absent due to his forced marriage to Zelos' mother, who states that he "should never have been born". This made him develop a great self-loathing and the feeling of worthlessness. In the superficial society of Meltokio, he was forced to lock his emotions away, therefore adapting to their expectations. This made him becoming the playful, careless guy he pretends to be}}.
