** On [[Characters/TNOWesternSiberia Omsk]] : wanting revenge on someone who thinks of you as subhuman, [[FinalSolution killed milions of you countrymen]], [[BalkanizeMe destroyed your country]] and [[AndYourLittleDogToo killed all your loved ones]] is very bad - in fact, not [[GoldenRule instantly forgiving them]] makes you

* ''VideoGame/EpicMickey'', ''VideoGame/EpicMickey2ThePowerOfTwo'': Hey kids! Are you dealing with bullies or people who are in any way against you? Just grab some paint and throw it at them, after a good soaking they won't be mad, they'll become instantly loyal to you! Oh, and don't worry if you get some on nearby buildings or trees, you'll end up ''making them prettier!'' It's not vandalism if it looks nice!

* ''VideoGame/SekiroShadowsDieTwice'':
** You can deflect ''anything'' with your sword as long as you time it right. Bullets traveling at thousands of kilometers per hour? Giant beasts stomping on you? A skyscraper-sized dragon swinging an equally massive sword at full force? Doesn't matter - you can deflect it. Unless it's a sweep attack. You can't block those no matter what.
** If you meet someone who can't die, feel free to use them as your personal punching bag. They're used to the pain by now.
** If you are obedient to your parents, [[spoiler: you will become a mindless killing machine and murder tens of thousands of people for fun]].
** It's okay to obfuscate the truth about what someone has to do to accomplish a certain goal, and let them remain blissfully ignorant of any alternate paths.

** Despite being a detective, ignoring the ObviouslyEvil individual standing before you is the right thing to do, even if it's outright your job to search for the culprit of a crime and to suspect others. Nothing bad will come out of that, and it totally doesn't contradict the assertion that detectives should be doing exactly that part of the job if they want to be seen as "real detectives", even though they ''clearly'' aren't.

** Blindly trust people who [[SecretKeeper keep secrets about themselves from you]], especially people who speak with enough enthusiasm. They won't betray you later.

** Even when TheCaligula uses the most InsaneTrollLogic to justify why they are still morally right despite there being blatant evidence of otherwise, instead of even ''trying'' to call them out on it, instead be a doormat and let them walk over you and destroy your life. Courage is completely unnecessary when up against someone who blatantly uses fallacies on top of fallacies to justify themselves.

** Drinking green liquid that smells like antifreeze is a great idea because it will recover your health.
** Pluto is still a planet - who ''cares'' what NASA says?!?

** Never carry a staff - that damn thing will never fit in your pocket no matter how much you try.
** If you see the Grim Reaper around, give him an ascott.
** Looking at a map while driving will never cause any consequences.

*** If your late spouse sends you a letter suggesting that you visit your special place, it's not the time for skepticism, it's time to go out for urban exploration in a mostly abandoned town without even packing supplies for survival. You'll find ''plenty'' of survival gear in places that went to hell in a handbasket just in case [[spoiler: you want to survive instead of die]].
