Basic Trope: A character is misanthropic and hates everyone regardless or race, gender, etc.
- Straight: Alex hates everyone which includes black people, white people, women, men, children, overweight people, underweight people, heterosexuals, homosexuals, asexuals...
- Exaggerated:
- ...nerds, bullies, rich people, poor people, smart people, dumb people, religious people, non-religious people, his family, his friends, his girlfriend, his enemies, capitalists, socialists, liberals, conservatives, centrists, the lower classes, the upper classes, neurotypical people, neurodiverse people, God, Satan, and himself.
- Alex hates everyone (and himself) so much that wants to kill everyone. And if that's done, he'll just kill himself afterwards.
- Downplayed:
- Alex mildly dislikes everyone he doesn't know.
- Alex just ignores and disregards everyone he meets.
- Alex hates everyone, save for select groups of people like people who work a selfless but dangerous job for instance.
- Justified:
- Alex is naturally a Jerkass.
- Alex is a Butt-Monkey who gets abused and mocked by everyone. This leads him into misanthropy.
- Alex is a consummate Troll and gets off on offending as many people as possible.
- The story takes place in a World of Jerkass.
- Inverted:
- Subverted:
- Alex appears to hate everyone, but he expresses most of his antagonism towards people of different nations, women, children, fat people, and Bob.
- Alex appears to express his hatred towards Bob more than he does with others.
- Alternatively: Alex turns out to have a Morality Pet who he does not hate unlike everyone else.
- Double Subverted: That's only because he's been around them for a long time. When he does meet other kinds of people, he antagonizes them just as much.
- Parodied:
- Every word out of Alex's mouth is some sort of petty insult towards humanity, even bothering to throw in a personalized insult whenever he bumps into somebody.
- Alex is a Politically Correct Villain — his equal hatred of everybody means that he deems all forms of discrimination beneath him. It doesn't make a lick of sense to anybody who hears it, and neither does it soften the blow appreciably.
- Zig-Zagged: Alex varies from a misanthropic asshole to a bigoted asshole to just an average asshole.
- Averted: Alex neither hates nor likes everyone.
- Enforced: "We need to show how hateful Alex is. Let's have him hate everyone no matter what group they are."
- Lampshaded: "I couldn't care less who you are or what identify as being. You exist, that's enough to piss me off. Now GO AWAY!!"
- Invoked: Alex quickly handwaves his insult by reassuring his target that he hates everybody else as well.
- Exploited: Alex uses his misanthropy as an excuse to be as big of a bigoted asshole to everyone as possible, figuring that people would just eventually stop caring and let him say what he wants.
- Defied: "Hating on people takes too much time and I have other things to do."
- Discussed:Alex: Sure, I hate just about every race, color, and creed on this rotten planet, but I'm honest about it, and that's what counts.Betty: A melting pot of asshole is still an asshole, you know.Alex: And what makes you believe I give a damn about your opinion on the matter? Or on any matter?Betty: I'm this close to asking you the same question.Alex: [Snorts dismissively] Go die a horrible death.
- Conversed: "So Alex gets a pass because he didn't say that tirade to one group in particular?" "Yes. It's a strange version of 'fairness.'"
- Implied:
- Alex is The Ghost but Alice and Bob say "He hates everyone equally."
- If Alex appears, he is always angry.
- Deconstructed: Since Alex hates every group and every individual, everybody hates him right back.
- Reconstructed: Alex couldn't care less about what they think and/or wouldn't have it any other way.
- Played for Laughs: Alex hates inanimate objects and frequently insults them as if they're living beings.
- Played for Drama: Alex starves and goes unsheltered because nobody will deign to live near him or interact with him.
- Played for Horror: Alex is an Omnicidal Maniac driven purely by (equal) hatred of all things that exist.
I hate you, I hate them, I hate everyone, and I hate the main page!
