This or these examples of Surprisingly Realistic Outcome seem to violate at least one of these rules, which disqualifies them: No character reactions (characters get angry, don't forgive, don't change their personality instantly, etc.); Too fantastical (depends on the properties of magic, powers, sci-fi tech, monsters, etc.); Not surprising (a character was warned about the outcome, it's used to provide Karma or An Aesop, or it simply follows normal conventions for this genre or medium); Plot happens (the example only describes an event, but not why audiences would expect a different, unrealistic outcome); Not an outcome (a character just explains why something wouldn't work as expected, or something is just an innate aspect of the setting or character that has a logical reason for being present); More of a Deconstruction (the event has major, lasting effects on the plot, make something more realistic, but not completely realistic, or a parody/fanwork applies realistic consequences to the events of a different work); or fits better under a different trope. See the trope's definition for more details. If you believe a removal was a mistake, please bring it up in the cleanup thread

* IronicEcho: After Penny falls in line with Winter's DrillSergeantNasty attitude, she condescendingly says, "At least you're smart." After Penny chews out Winter and threatens her for attempting to report Pietro for allowing Penny to not blindly follow orders, Winter fearfully complies and Penny throws the line back in her face.
Added DiffLines:
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech:
** When Penny hits her RageBreakingPoint after Winter threatens to have Pietro reported, she openly chastises her for her hostile IceQueen behavior and unpleasant attitude and states that she still put up with it because she thought they could eventually be friends.
** Weiss is on the receiving end of ''three'' different ones before she finally ends up improving her behavior.
*** The first is when Ruby has to put her in line for acting like a spoiled brat because Ozpin chose Ruby as team leader instead of her. She tells Weiss that while Ruby has been doing what she can to be the best leader possible even despite the fact that she still feels in over her head, Weiss has done nothing but demean and belittle others rather than even attempt to be a cohesive team member. And even though she calls Ruby immature, Ruby correctly points out that [[{{Hypocrite}} Weiss isn't a bastion of maturity herself for how she has been behaving]].
*** The second is when she belittles Jaune by saying Pyrrha is so much better than him and she shouldn't be hanging out with someone beneath her status. This causes her to [[BewareTheNiceOnes slam Weiss against a locker]] and call her out as a selfish, elitist sack of garbage who has no business telling her who she can and can't hang out with. Weiss says that he's nothing for Remnant, and Pyrrha retorts by saying "If Jaune is nothing to Remnant, then I can safely say you are to its detriment." [[ArmorPiercingResponse This causes Weiss to break into tears.]]
*** The third and final one is when Blake pulls the FreudianExcuseIsNoExcuse card on her. After Blake has to deal with Weiss' blatant racism, she finally has enough. While Weiss tries to claim that no one knows what she's been through, Blake chews her out by saying that she doesn't even bother to understand what anyone else has been through. When Weiss claims that they all hate her because of her father, Blake bluntly tells her that they don't hate her because of who her father is. They hate her because of who ''she'' is. She acts spoiled, haughty, and spiteful, but then makes herself a victim to throw a pity-party for herself. Blake lets her know that being the victim of suffering doesn't give her the right to hurt others in return. While it doesn't get through to her initially since she still says that Faunus should essentially be treated like slaves, Blake bolting out of there is what makes her start to realize her errors.
