* If you're making a work for kids that with the message that KidsShouldntWatchHorrorFilms (or play [[UltraSuperDeathGoreFestChainsawer9000 violent video games]], or read horror comics), you're almost guaranteed to have this problem. Not only do plenty of kids ''like'' horror movies and the like, but if the characters are shown enjoying one, children in the audience might end up sympathizing with them even if the {{Aesop}} is that they shouldn't indulge in such things.

* Any time a work, especially one aimed at children, tries to show that KidsShouldntWatchHorrorFilms, it risks running in to this. Plenty of kids ''like'' scary movies just fine, and if the movie itself is shown onscreen, it might actually look interesting to audience.

* Junk food is one of those things that it is hard to have AnAesop about because of [[FoodPorn how colorful and tasty it always looks]]. Any diet commercial will backfire horribly if they show the foods you shouldn't be eating ''and'' say that you shouldn't be eating them.

* Body weight related issues, either getting too heavy or becoming too thin.

* Any work of SpeculativeFiction that preaches HumansAreTheRealMonsters is inevitably going to receive a large amount of hate from people disputing the message and bringing up all the cases of people doing major good deeds to others with no compensation, because the audience is made up of humans, who naturally will disagree with the claim that they and their species are AlwaysChaoticEvil. It certainly doesn't help that the works in question tend to {{flanderize}} human behavior into the worst of the Jim Crow South or apartheid South Africa, and ignore that blatant prejudice is ''highly'' frowned upon in today's society. Oddly, the more general trope of HumansAreBastards tends to get far less backlash, likely because it's rarely presented in the same all-or-nothing manner and at least ''some'' humans are presented as not, in fact, being bastards.

*** Video game [[UsefulNotes/DigitalRightsManagement DRM]] can get even worse. Even getting beyond the ForbiddenFruit aspect (games with heavy anti-piracy measures, like several Creator/{{Ubisoft}} releases, tend to be heavily pirated, while Website/GogDotCom advertises a complete ''lack'' of DRM in purchases from them, and have become very successful rather than being pirated out of business), the most infamously-draconian systems, with several log-ins and security checks - any one of which can fail for a variety of reasons beyond the player's control and promptly deny access to the game - also tend to be applied in a ridiculously-inept fashion: even at their most effective, they punish legal players just as much as pirates (pirates don't have access to the log-in server and can't play, yay-- whoops, server went down for maintenance/can't handle that many logins/hiccuped for no reason, so neither can legal players), and at their ''least'', they actively punish actual purchasers '''more''' than pirates (by not being actually integrated into the software in a way that the pirates can't just rip it out entirely and still have a working game). In extreme cases, people will actually purchase the game in question, then pirate it ''anyway'' just to actually be able to access what they legally bought.

* Along the same lines, prostitution is devilishly difficult to portray in film without glamorizing it. SexSells, after all, and it's difficult to show a hooker plying her trade without showing what some of the appeal of that trade is. At the same time, if you ''do'' succeed in making prostitution look unappealing (via perhaps showing the cruelty and perversion of the customers or maybe the dangers of the trade), you're very likely to [[DarknessInducedAudienceApathy make your film rather unappealing]] as well, and then no one wants to watch it.

** It does not help their cause that a lot of the people involved in the anti-piracy side of things tend to do [[KnightTemplar downright rotten things in order to try enforcing their viewpoint]]. For instance, [[https://www.theinquirer.net/inquirer/news/1049819/riaa-wins-default-judgement suing a young woman in need of an organ transplant for eight thousand dollars, for sharing a whopping ten songs]], and supporting the creation of legal measures like [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stop_Online_Piracy_Act SOPA]]. Far from raising public awareness, actions and tactics like these just make the anti-piracy groups look at best like they are over-reacting, at worst like they are money-grubbing jerks out to squeeze every dime they can get from both customers and artists, regardless of the consequences to who that money comes from.

## The cameras step into the house of a teenage girl whose life was ended by pregnancy only to find that, somehow, her life goes on. It's harder to fear something with which you've become more familiar.

** Hilariously, straight pro-consumerist works such as ''MTV cribs'' and ''Series/PimpMyRide'' have had the exact opposite effect in retrospect, especially after the financial crash of 2008, since the extravagant bling and hoarding of resources are so unironically over-the-top that they are now seen as a huge part of what was wrong with 2000s popular culture. This was discussed by Creator/CharlieBrooker along with works like ''Series/MySuperSweetSixteen'' and the plethora of house hunting shows.

## With works that promote abstinence, they often get screwed up by trying to balance out the message of how evil and dirty premarital sex is with how great and wonderful sex is once you're married. Unless the work resorts to outright lies, it really has no argument to show any differences between sex within marriage and sex outside of it other than the extremely murky area of "it's bad/sinful/immoral".

## Fewer half measures. Sure, total abstinence is a more reliable way to avoid pregnancy and [=STD=]s than using a condom, but using protection is ''way'' better than nothing. Programs that primarily preach abstinence tend to condemn protected sex just as much as unprotected, so when the kids give in to their lust, they almost certainly won't already have a condom on them "just in case", may not know how to get and use one, and may be unaware of how effective it is and thus not think it's worth the trouble. Tellingly, areas that largely utilize abstinence-only sexual education tend to have ''higher'' rates of teen pregnancy than places that instead use comprehensive sex education.

*** A.) It's no coincidence that the virginity pledge movement and abstinence trends like purity rings have coincided with rising rates of oral and anal sex among teenagers. While individual leaders and parishes have given their opinions on oral and anal sex, the churches of each sect have yet to take an [[IncrediblyLamePun official position]] on them. Because oral and anal sex can't result in pregnancy, this leads kids to believe they're just a little bit less sinful than vaginal pre-martital sex, and that it doesn't technically count because it's not the same as vaginal sex.

## Meta-wise, it's literally having the opposite effect on its audience; because of the recent focus on fame and recognition as being the most important value among teens and tweens, there have been instances of young teenagers who want to (or ''did'') get pregnant ''[[BrokenAesop because they think they will appear on television.]]''

## This ''[[FailureIsTheOnlyOption still happens]]'' even if #4 is avoided, and the work shows the battles and goes all-out to portray the other aspects of war [[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill as horribly as possible]] with no redeeming features whatsoever; packed with {{obligatory war crime scene}}s, those fighting constantly cross the MoralEventHorizon without hesitation, have no [[TheLawsAndCustomsOfWar rules or customs]], [[NoQuarter taking no prisoners]], [[LeaveNoSurvivors killing surrendering troops]], [[SinkTheLifeBoats executing the wounded]], [[RapePillageAndBurn pillaging and burning]], [[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil raping girls]], [[WouldNotShootACivilian killing civilians]], [[WouldHurtAChild killing children]], and [[KickTheDog killing puppies and kittens]].

## Even if #3 is avoided and the work does focus excessively on the negativity of war besides just the battles, and shows demoralized troops driven committing horrible atrocities, there will inevitably be at least one character who withstands it and never breaks. So no matter how bad the war gets, hope always survives.

*** Another type of war film that generally averts this are [[ANuclearError nuclear holocaust movies]] like ''Film/WarGames'' and ''Film/TheDayAfter'' (played seriously, that is; ''Film/DrStrangelove'' is one of the most notorious cases to play this trope straight because it's a comedy). They often don't show battles and the whole futility of nuclear warfare elevates the conflict to an EnemyMine between the mutually antagonistic powers to prevent TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt. If the missiles do start flying, expect to see death, destruction, misery and the horrifying end of humanity as people slowly die of radiation poisoning.

** Dara O'Briain mocked this one as well, talking about Gillian [=McKeith=]'s tendency to show people a table covered in all the crap they shoveled down their throats over the course of the week - and noted that the looks on their faces tended to be a mixture of pride and lust.

### When the kids get older and find out that ''some'' of the information given to them had been, at the very least, exaggerated in order to ScareEmStraight, (e.g. one joint of marijuana or one pill of ecstasy will kill you) they assume that ''[[CryingWolf all of it was]]'' and decide to try out drugs. For the kids to discover this, all it takes is them knowing one person who uses or has used drugs and didn't die or become a desperate junkie.

### Some anti-drug programs even tell students the current street value of drugs. Which instead of resulting in "Oh, I would never do that that's too expensive" sometimes results in "Hey, [local price] for [some drug] is a good deal."
### Normal youth rebellion. Your parents and teachers don't want you to do this stuff, but they said that about all the good music, movies, and video games too.
* Almost any video game that tries to remind us that violence is wrong. OK, here's your [[{{BFS}} Godslayer Blade]], [[{{BFG}} Shootemup 6000]] and a ridiculously complicated combat system that you must learn in order to see the story. Oh, and don't [[WhatMeasureIsAMook kill people, unlike the villain.]] Attempting to avert this often leads to the same problems as the anti-war film example above (if you don't make the combat in the game fun, people probably won't want to play it etc.)

** In addition, pirating your [=DVDs=] is a good way to be freed from that annoying anti-piracy trailers.

* TeenPregnancy or out-of-wedlock pregnancy. Shows like ''Series/SixteenAndPregnant'', ''Teen Mom'', and ''Series/TheSecretLifeOfTheAmericanTeenager'' have been accused of glorifying or promoting it. We can argue all day about whether or not this is the case, but if the shows are trying to discourage it they are not doing a very good job.

## There's almost inevitably - especially in documentary versions - a statement somewhere about how, at least in her own estimation, she's become twice the person she was and how it's really matured her, and how one just doesn't know what love is 'til one is a mother. [[SarcasmMode Yeah, kids, don't do it]]!

## With weight loss in particular the works can become icons as a goal to reach, or for viewers/readers blaming themselves. "Look at her, I couldn't even go as far as she did!"

* SexIsEvil. Works that make arguments against sex or portraying it openly, whether its discouraging sexual immorality and promoting abstinence or if it's arguing against the objectification of women.

## With works that promote abstinence they often get screwed up by trying to balance out the message of how evil and dirty premarital sex is with how great and wonderful sex is once you're married.

* Any piece of anti-tobacco propaganda where [[StealthCigaretteCommercial the smoker/chewer]] actually looks [[SmokingIsCool pretty cool]] while smoking/chewing. Especially when it emphasizes someone trying to look cool by smoking or accuses the tobacco industry of glamorizing the use and then clearly identifies how they've played up tobacco usage to look cool, which the viewer may not have noticed before.

*** Video game DRM can get even worse - certain developers seem to take "aggressive DRM" to mean "[[AlwaysChaoticEvil everyone is a pirate]], [[InsaneTrollLogic especially if they legally bought it]]" and nearly make their games entirely unplayable for non-pirates, to the point where people are willing to pirate a game they would have otherwise willingly purchased, or even download a crack for a game they've '''already''' bought, just to get around that nonsense.

## Going the other way, fat/body positive messages that are supposed to tell people who are seen as "large" by society's standards but are actually at a decent, healthy weight that there is nothing wrong with them could be used by actual obese people as an excuse to keep living an unhealthy lifestyle.

* Any piece of anti-tobacco propaganda where [[StealthCigaretteCommercial the smoker/chewer]] actually looks [[SmokingIsCool pretty cool]] with a cigarette or while chewing. Especially when it emphasizes someone trying to look cool by smoking or accuses the Tobacco industry of glamorizing the use and then clearly identifies how they've played up tobacco usage to look cool, which the viewer may not have noticed before.

** British TV chef Jamie Oliver tried to avert this by showing people their weekly intake of junk food all dumped together into a huge unappetizing mess. As CharlieBrooker pointed out, the resulting message was [[BrokenAesop "don't eat your food that way"]].

** And one of the same companies that are pushing anti-piracy also distributed file-sharing software, promoting the ability of the software to download copyrighted media illegally: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T67PPRc01aI]]
** It does not help their cause that a lot of the people involved in the anti-piracy side of things tend to do downright rotten things in order to try enforcing their viewpoint.

** This happens a lot in Christmas works that try to reinforce the true meaning of the holiday; about family, about giving to the less fortunate, and how it's better to give than to receive, which is then undermined by showing all the awesome presents we shouldn't be so focused on getting. These also tend to end on SweetAndSourGrapes, where the person is resigned to the fact that getting [awesome toy] isn't what makes a happy Christmas; only to receive it after all.

## For example this ad warning about the dangers of anorexia shows a [[http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1140/1431209367_43f0312255.jpg cadaverous-looking young woman]] (Warning -- {{NSFW}} image). However, while people without weight issues might be disgusted by sights like these (but it's not like they were going to suddenly become anorexic or obese anyway), they can also give grounds for denial: "I'm not anorexic/obese: I don't look like that!"

## The work inevitably has to show some sexual imagery, and it's pretty much impossible to show it in a non-appealing light, so it either the sex or the portrayal of women off as appealing.

*** [[SarcasmMode Because of course media should be teaching obese people that their body shape and possible health issues are the issue of public safety and morality and they should hate themselves for something absolutely harmless for everyone else. Because smokers, who can actually harm others' health with their habit, need warnings that THEIR health may suffer, and fat people, whose body shape is their and only their issue, need mocking and dehumanization.]]
*** There IS a problem with "body positivity" focusing on moderate-weight people, and the problem is that it produces people who think things like the troper above. Whose gym membership and hiking routine are just as much none of my business as fat people's aren't his or anyone else's who isn't their doctor.

*** Video game DRM can get even worse - certain developers seem to take "aggressive DRM" to mean "everyone is a pirate, [[InsaneTrollLogic especially if they legally bought it]]" and nearly make their games entirely unplayable for non-pirates - to the point where people are willing to pirate a game, or even download a crack for a game ''they already legally bought'' just so they don't have to deal with it.

## It doesn't help that most of the "[[SarcasmMode struggling teen mothers]]" portrayed in many of these media are rich, white girls who don't have to get jobs or miss out on school or social events to take care of their baby, and can often still get a guy (whether or not he's the father of their child) to go out with them. In a more meta sense, since these women have appeared on TV, they have a certain amount of fame they can leverage into speaking engagements, public appearances, and even endorsement deals, further making it seem more glamorous to outsiders.
