Times where somebody is accused of being a Category Traitor in Western Animation.
- In American Dad!, Terry is angered that Greg is a member of the Gay Republicans.
- The Boondocks:
- Surprisingly enough, Uncle Ruckus is never quite called out by any of his friends or enemies as a traitor to the black race, despite being so racist that he regularly expresses literal white-supremacist rhetoric about his virulent hatred for other black people. The reason for this is because he was brainwashed into thinking he's a white man with a skin condition, and everbody goes along with this belief despite it being very clearly not the case.
- In "The Trial of R. Kelly", Tom DuBois is accused of being a race traitor, as he's a black man married to a white woman. However, this accusation is coming from R. Kelly's white defense attorney, as a tactic to get the jury (entirely filled with black fans of R. Kelly) to remain biased in favor of his client.
- In "It's a Black President, Huey Freeman", Huey becomes vilified by the local black community for being the one African-American (besides Ruckus) who didn't worship the ground Barack Obama walked on. Simply saying a very apathetic "eh" when asked about Obama by Werner Herzog, was enough to have an Angry Mob burning effigies of him.
- On Daria, a good portion of the student body blames her for getting the yearbook to devote fewer pages to sports and clubs (which isn't true, but she supports the decision anyway).
- Generator Rex: As the last non-nanite infected human, White Knight considers himself to be the only real human in existence. As such, anyone who tolerates EVOs is a traitor to humanity, AKA himself.
- The King of the Hill episode "Orange You Sad I Did Say Banana?" revolves around Kahn's reaction to being accused of being a "banana" by one of his fellow Laotian-Americans, including his idol Ted Wassonasong. After they push him around most of the episode, he tells them to shove off when they try to get him to participate in a coup d'etat that will most likely fail and result in his death.Kahn: You want to play a round of golf at Nine Rivers? Give me a call. You want someone to feel guilty about the way they live their life? Call someone else!
- Ready Jet Go!: In "Whole Lotta Shakin'", it's revealed that Zerk believes that Jet is a sell-out for associating with humans. He denies Jet's clearly alien traits and has the audacity to call him an "Earthie".
- By the end of the series, Luz Noceda of The Owl House is considered to be this by her puritanical arch-nemesis Philip Wittebane/Emperor Belos, due to Luz firmly defending the people of the Demon Realm from him, despite Luz being a Human. After he reveals himself to be Human to her, and Luz condemns his plans for a Witch Holocaust as being monstrous, Philip dismisses her as being crazy, and later as having been warped by the inhabitants of the Boiling Isles. By the time of his death, Belos rants to Luz that if she allows him to die and finally puts an end to his genocidal ambitions, then she will be just as "evil and wicked" as the residents of the Demon Realm.
- Slimer on The Real Ghostbusters and later Extreme Ghostbusters. He's the team mascot, lives in the firehouse, and often helps out on cases. So, of course, Slimer is positively hated by the kind of malicious ghosts that the Ghostbusters regularly deal with. Samhain personally denounced him as a traitor and threatened to destroy him if he didn't submit to his rule. Even worse, Surt wanted to perform eternal torture on the spud as retribution for helping the Ghostbusters trap him.
- Parodied in the South Park episode "Wieners Out", where Butters becomes a raging misogynist and criticizes Kyle Broflovski for wanting to make peace with the girls after their mass break-up campaign, constantly calling him "Uncle Kyle".
- Thunder Cats 2011:
- Young prince Lion-O, already known among his people as a Cloudcuckoolander, defends some stockaded Lizard slaves from a Powder Keg Crowd of his fellow Catfolk. This backfires spectacularly, stirring them up into an Angry Mob demanding a full-blown Vigilante Execution, calling him "Lizard lover" and threatening to put him in the stocks themselves.
- Also one of the reasons why Pumyra hates Lion-O.
- Ironically, the Cats were allies with the other animals, including the Lizards, when they overthrew Mumm-Ra centuries ago.
- Transformers: EarthSpark: Megatron is seen as such by his fellow Decepticons due to his decision to stop the movement's more extreme actions and make peace with the Autobots. Shockwave even called him a traitor when they last encountered each other during the war.
- X-Men '97: In the second episode, the Friends of Humanity target the courthouse where Magneto is standing trial for the purpose of assassinating Magneto and the judges. When the judges question why an anti-mutant militia would target humans, Magneto is quick to point out that, as far as the FOH are concerned, allowing him the dignity of due process was an act of treason.
