== General ==
* It's incredibly common for villains, at varying levels of desperation and hostage-have, to try and invoke this trope when they're threatening to do something really nasty. It usually doesn't work except with the [[Draco in Leather Pants]] crowd, but they're trying and that's what counts.

* This is often how [[Domestic Abuser]] Ryoki acts in regards to his <s> slave</s> girlfriend Hatsumi in ''[[Hot Gimmick]]''.
* ''[[
* ''[[Peach Girl]]'': Sae tries to make people think [[Wounded Gazelle Gambit|that Momo is doing this to her]] and succeeds for a while, when it's really the other way around.
* ''[[Black Cat (manga)|Black Cat]]'': Creed, Train's [[Stalker with a Crush]], smashes Train into a wall and tells him the following:

** Which, in turn, came after [[Dude, She's Like, in a Coma|he masturbated over her comatose body.]] Who's more at fault is very debated...
* ''[[Outlaw Star]]'': Harry hits Melfina quite a few times, angry at her for refusing to leave with him when he "came all this way just to pick you up."
{{quote|Harry: "I didn't mean to do that, Melfina! I'm sorry, I promise I'm not going to hurt you!"
* In ''[[Paprika]]'', the titular character's [[Stalker with a Crush]] slaps her across the face when she says something that offends him.
{{quote|{{spoiler|Osanai}}: "Didn't I tell you, not to say anything that would make me get rough with you?"}}
* ''[[Peacemaker Kurogane]]'': In episode 19, Susumu wraps his hands around Tetsunosuke's throat and makes an attempt to strangle him while saying, "Did you come to piss me off again? Do you think I like being pissed off? I wouldn't be feeling this way if you weren't here!" All this coupled with the fact that Tetsunosuke is crying and staring at him sadly, makes for a very [[Foe Yay]]/ [[Ho Yay]]-tastic scene between the two.
* In ''[[Ranma ½
* In ''[[Axis Powers Hetalia]]'', Bulgaria uses this as his reason to beat up and bully North Italy despite being allies.
{{quote|'''Bulgaria''': I... I just got the sudden urge to hit him when I looked at his face.}}
Line 49 ⟶ 48:
* In ''[[Bitter Virgin]]'' when Hinako is discovered to have miscarriage, her mother demands to know the name of the man she has been sleeping with. Hinako immediately replies it is her stepfather (as he has been repeatedly raping her), to which the mother slaps her across the face as she believes Hinako is lying to protect the real man. It isn't until Hinako is pregnant again and the doctor suggests from the bruises all over Hinako that she isn't a willing participant, does her mother believe her.
* ''[[Shaman King]]'': [[Knight Templar|Jeanne]] takes it [[Up to Eleven]]. If you don't accept her [[Last Second Chance]], she WILL [[Cruel and Unusual Death|kill you]], then weep [[Tender Tears]] for your sad fate.

* ''[[Axis Powers Hetalia]]'' fanfic ''[[Mistakes]]'' portrays the relationship of Imperial Japan and Korea this way; Kiku beats Yong-Soo for misdemeanours such as speaking in Korean or questioning the Emperor, and then makes him thank him for the "lesson". Kiku [[Well-Intentioned Extremist|genuinely believes this is the right thing to do]], but of course that doesn't help.
* [[Tess of the D'Urbervilles|Alec D'Urberville]] is not above playing this card. Except he plays it as "[[Rape as Drama|Why did you make me lust after you?]]"▼

** [[Jacqueline Wilson]]'s ''Lola Rose'': Lola's mother is due to go to the hospital for an operation. The night before, she drinks heavily while her daughter tries to stop her. After being ignored, Lola accidentally-on-purpose drops the bottle of alcohol. Her mother belts her across the face, then they both burst out crying. May well be [[Justified Trope|justified]] in this case, since the operation is for breast cancer, putting everyone in the family under extreme stress.
** [[Jacqueline Wilson]]'s ''The Suitcase Kid'': Andy is extremely late coming home from school after she decides that she can't stand her dysfunctional family life. Her mother slaps her when she finally does come home, bursts into tears, and lays an enormous guilt trip on Andy, despite the fact that her mother's emotional manipulation, [[Parental Favoritism]] towards her new boyfriend's children and general lack of concern over Andy's best interests go a long way towards explaining why Andy didn't want to come home in the first place.

** Oddly, she's sort of correct—he knows damn well ''she'' doesn't have any right to punish him, especially not for the reasons she cites, and doesn't particularly think this is correct or that just plain suffering is a ''good'' idea, but between his abusive childhood and his experiences being expected to be [[The Hero]], he only seems to have positive self-esteem when he's going through something hellish for day-saving reasons. Which is probably why he doesn't try harder to get some other authority figure to intervene—that and his justified conviction that no one ever comes to save him from abuse.
* In the [[Stephen King]] book ''[[Misery]]'', Annie Wilkes pulls this on protagonist Paul Sheldon. Just replace "hit" with [[Axe Crazy|"chop off foot with axe and cauterize the wound with a blowtorch"]].
* In the S.E. Hinton book ''The Outsiders'' After Ponyboy yells "YOU DON'T YELL AT HIM!" at Darry for yelling at Soda, Darry inadvertly slaps Pony against the door. Darry looks at his hand, then looks at Ponyboy. All three brothers are shocked. Darry then says, "Ponyboy!" And as Pony is charging out the door, Darry yells in a desperate attempt to get him back inside the house, "Ponyboy, I didn't mean to--" and the youngest one disappears.
* In [[The Twilight Saga]] Emily refuses to return Sam's affection. He eventually loses his temper, becomes a [[Our Werewolves Are Different|wolf]], and claws half her face off. He then feels so bad about what he did that she decides to accept his love. Christ, those books are messed up...
** And let's not go into all the emotional abuse between Edward and Bella. "Do you want to start a war" indeed.

** Prior to this, Arael had been looking the other way as Pre-Zombie Scout was playing the [[Dirty Cop]] role to the hilt; there's no doubt the Zombie Scout had it coming, but either way Arael had to [[Shoot the Dog]].
* Damien from ''[[El Goonish Shive]]'' seems to like this [http://www.egscomics.com/?date=2004-02-06 approach.]
* The discontinued ''[[Loserz]]'' featured it in [https://web.archive.org/web/20101213192844/http://bukucomics.com/loserz/go/156 one strip] - but with a wholly different result than [https://web.archive.org/web/20101213193112/http://bukucomics.com/loserz/go/157 blind acceptance]. (Note that no parent is involved here.)
* In [[Order of the Stick]], during O-Chul's imprisonment in Xykon's tower, Redcloak interrogates O-Chul in front of the Sapphire Guard paladins he intends to torture if O-Chul doesn't cooperate. When O-Chul doesn't talk, he leaves, saying he's going to let them all stew in the knowledge that O-Chul didn't care enough about his comrades to talk before he comes back to do the actual torture. {{spoiler|It backfires, though; the prisoners are instead impressed by O-Chul's resolve in not faltering in his duty even at the expense of his principles}}.
