Line 66:
** Later a different dissonance is [[Played for Drama]] when Vriska tells John that he, as a human, can't understand her justifications for {{spoiler|killing Tavros.}}
* [[In-Universe]] and [[Played for Laughs]] in ''[[Freefall]]''. Sam is a scavenger, Florence is a pack predator. They have very different ways of interpreting things.
** In strip #3306, Sam speculates that humans were upset when sqids treated them like gods... because sqids steal everything, including their own lives, from their gods.
* Most readers of [[Ralph Hayes, Jr.]]'s ''[[Goblin Hollow]]'' webcomic felt he hit this pretty badly when Penny's upbraiding an obnoxious, bigoted [[Jerkass]] preacher, something that was perceived as her [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]] and a fine example of her [[Character Development]] from being a [[Bratty Teenage Daughter]] to a [[Grumpy Bear]] [[Deadpan Snarker]] with [[Mama Bear]] traits, was met in-universe by Lily demanding she apologize for causing such a scene in church and promptly slapping her in the face and grounding her for a week when she refused to do so. The author was deeply shocked, even outraged, when the readers were themselves outraged by this and revolted against Lily and Ben being treated as being the ones in the right.
** Penny in general being regarded as a "troubled teen", as most of the things she actually does don't come off as being anywhere near that unusual or anarchic for a teenage girl in the eyes of most readers. Her biggest signs of "being troubled" are that she's surly, not too shy about sexual matters (though still a virgin) and always wears black clothes.
