* Music/JCole, in response to a diss from Music/KendrickLamar, released a response diss of his own, "7 Minute Drill", at the end of his surprise-released mixtape ''Might Delete Later''. A mere two days later (especially following the track being widely panned), [[CreatorBacklash Cole would disown and outright apologize for the track]], outright admitting during a concert that he phoned it in as he didn't even want to participate in competitive diss culture (the fact he still respected Lamar and struggled hard to actually find anything to diss him over made it even more perfunctory), and only did so because everyone pressured him to turn things into a fight[[note]][[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drake%E2%80%93Kendrick_Lamar_feud The actual feud between Drake and Kendrick]] would indeed explode, getting very personal and very ugly not long afterwards, so it's widely agreed that Cole chose to back off at the right time[[/note]]. Within a week, the song was removed from official distribution.

* ''VideoGame/{{Skullgirls}}'': Annie's story involves her dealing with a bad case of this. She started the kids' show ''Annie of the Stars'' to inspire kids to do better and to stop wishing on the Skull Heart, but when her audience grows up, they dismiss her show as SillyRabbitIdealismIsForKids and go back to bad habits (exemplified by Ms. Fortune, who watched the show when she was little, wanting to use the Skull Heart to wish for her friends back), and she's gotten a little cynical about the whole thing. [[spoiler: The irony being that the events in the show were ''actually based on her real life''; Annie really ''is'' an eternally youthful MagicalGirlWarrior who's opposed the Skull Heart for centuries.]]

** Creator/{{Disney}} weren't too enthusiastic about the franchise, which was a part of their purchase of Creator/FoxKids and related assets, due to its violence contrasting heavily with their family friendly image. This played a part in ''Series/PowerRangersWildForce'' nearly being the last season until it was decided to switch filming to UsefulNotes/NewZealand to save money. This apathy was at its peak during ''Series/PowerRangersOperationOverdrive'', widely regarded as the weakest of the Disney seasons; reportedly, one executive asked why they couldn't just dub [[Series/GoGoSentaiBoukenger the original show]]. Tellingly, they would end up selling the rights back to Saban just a couple of years later.

* Director Creator/UweBoll has been ''very'' open about his hatred of video games, people who play video games, and people who want to see movies about video games. He boasted about making his movies as bad as possible because he didn't want gamers to see his films (claiming they'd just download it) and rather wanted a "real" audience... [[UncertainAudience whoever they might be]]. On top of this was his alleged practice of purposely creating bombs to [[SpringtimeForHitler exploit a tax loophole for under-performing films]].

* ''Series/{{iCarly}}'' Creator/JennetteMcCurdy confirmed in her biography "I'm Glad My Mom Died" that she had no interest in acting whatsoever and only ended up doing acting because her [[StageMom mother pushed her into doing it]] because of her own failed dreams. This, combined with her unpleasant interactions with Creator/DanSchneider and disliking how her character Sam was written with a RunningGag of always eating due to her real-life eating disorder brought on by her mother, led to her disliking the show and saying "it was like the corniest thing". She wasn't a fan of the spin-off ''Series/SamAndCat'' either, as she had to deal with an ugly break-up with an ex who leaked racy photos of her leading to criticism from Nick execs, along with having to deal with them ordering more episodes then anticipated leading to further stress on her and the rest of the cast. Nevertheless, she always made time for young fans of the show, never taking issue with fans enjoying it and maintained a good relationship with her co-stars.

* 'Anime/ChargemanKen'' just might be the most notorious example of this.

* ''Anime/DeliciousPartyPrettyCure'' is themed around food and cooking with the main Cures having engagement with the culinary arts in some capacity, whether it be food reviews, cooking, or eating. Despite this, lead writer Sawako Hirabayashi revealed in Animage January 2023 that she doesn't like cooking and saw no reason to put effort in that aspect. This also resulted in the Cures getting stifled in character development while [[TokenAdult Rosemary]] gets the bulk of the focus instead.

* Creator/KristenStewart has admitted her apathy for the ''Film/{{Twilight}}'' series, explaining her wooden performance in the movies. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rvfmg5UF_Jo Proof here]]...

* Creator/MarkMillar, with the exception of his VideoGame/StreetsOfRage strips, has a [[CreatorBacklash very low opinion]] of the writing he did for ''VideoGame/SonicTheComic'', insisting he did it solely to [[MoneyDearBoy pay for his wedding]].

* Many autistic readers weren't too happy with the way autism was portrayed in ''Literature/TheCuriousIncidentOfTheDogInTheNightTime'' due to being [[HollywoodAutism an offensively stereotypical representation]]. Eventually, the author admitted on his [[http://markhaddon.com/blog/aspergers-autism/ blog post six years after the book was first published]] that he did no research on autism because he thought "imagionation always trumps research." He also said he did more research on the London Underground (which was only for one or two signs) than he did with autism.

* ''Literature/TheCuriousIncidentOfTheDogInTheNightTime'': Many autistic readers weren't too happy with the way autism was portrayed through Christopher Boone due to being [[HollywoodAutism an offensively stereotypical representation]].

* ''Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000'' provides an interesting case of "in-universe". The famous, formerly Trope Naming [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fbi2wwVB7i4 skit]] regarding how in ''Film/AttackOfTheEyeCreatures'' "they just didn't care" ends with a character that the Mads claim is director of that week's movie, Larry Buchanan (clearly not the actual RealLife Buchanan)--who, the Mads conclude ''actually'' just didn't care about the flaws in the movie.
