• Warhammer 40,000: after Angron was beaten back from Armageddon, the Inquisition rounded the surviving local population to be sterilised and placed in forced labour camps to prevent them from spreading first-hand knowledge of Chaos. Logan Grimnar of the Space Wolves... didn't like that very much, and has even vowed not to let this kind of thing happen again. Since it's someone in 40K making a principled and compassionate decision, doubles as a Crowning Moment of Heartwarming.
  • Compassion?! HERETIC!!
    • The thing is, the Inquisition haven't called him that. They're too scared of him to do it.
  • Under Logan Grimnar, the Space Wolves have started doing this a lot, actually. But his subordinates tend to voice their displeasure with their Boltguns instead. On of the more notable examples, an event called Honor's End, saw hundreds of Marines dead when the Space Wolves were enraged by the Flesh Tearer's butchery of civilians long after the enemy had been routed.
• Exalted: In the beginning of their guidebook to Hell, a comic shows a tour guide showing the decadent First Age Solar Exalted about the Demon City, only to realize that they don't care at all:

Oh, what's the use? Nobody cares anymore. Nobody comes here for the right reasons. You're all either hiding from your responsibilities, or lost in your own little worlds. Why do we bother?
