--->'''Paz Vizsla:''' Now we are asked to sacrifice yet again. The question we should be asking ourselves is: "Why? Why should we lay our lives down yet again?" ''[beat]'' [[ProudWarriorRaceGuy Because we are Mandalorians]]. I have had my disagreements with this man, but he risked his life to save my son. And Bo-Katan Kryze did not give up on my child's life even when the rest of us did.

Can be inverted: the character describes pleasant or desirable things, like a beautiful sunny day, flowers, and puppies; it turns out they are disgusted by them. May overlap with DoWrongRight: it may seem like one character is about to denounce evil acts because they are morally wrong, only to reveal they would approve of those evil acts if they were done more competently. Compare and contrast BileFascination and GuiltyPleasure, where a character knows something is bad or that they should not enjoy it, but they feel curiously or shamefully attracted to it anyway.
