(fine, but then don\'t ask me to let it rest if you\'re not going to ) First off, and yes, this was indeed a contradiction. The Guardian was helping Nazim to destroy the world, which was clearly to his detriment, thus his actions made no sense (on an extreme stretch I might grant that that\'s only FridgeLogic, but it seems pretty contradictory to me, because \

These examples from the RealLife section are problematic. Firstly the RealLife section is for real life examples, not fictional examples. Secondly, they aren\'t examples of the trope. They aren\'t attempts to tone down swearing, they are unintentional swears in a cross-cultural context.

* Guybrush Threepwood of the \\\'\\\'MonkeyIsland\\\'\\\' series needs to get termites onto a piece of wood. On examining the wood, you see the termites chomping away, to which Guybrush notes \\\"Look at the little buggers go!\\\". This was our first clue that \\\"bugger\\\" can\\\'t be particularly rude in America.
* Although not a children\\\'s franchise, \\\'\\\'{{Halo}}\\\'\\\' has marines fearfully refer to insectoid aliens as \\\"buggers\\\", which adds a hilarious sexual implication to British ears. On a not-so-interesting sidenote, the Australian marine uses the word bugger in the same context and meaning as a British person would, which is just in line with Australian culture, although bugger is perhaps considered somewhat less offensive, and not particularly related to any sexual situations. It\\\'s also interesting that Cortana tells a character to \\\"Piss off!\\\" in the {{novelization}} while her line in the game is \\\"Sod off!\\\".
** It\\\'s also used in \\\'\\\'ChronoTrigger\\\'\\\' to describe a model of robot in the AfterTheEnd era.
** In \\\'\\\'SuperMarioRPG\\\'\\\', Croco calls Mario a \\\"persistent bugger\\\" at one point; when the Virtual Console version of the game was released in Europe, this was changed to \\\"persistent pest\\\" instead, which is not only completely innocent to UK ears but has the bonus of having AddedAlliterativeAppeal.
** Bluto once used \\\"bloody\\\" in a \\\'\\\'{{Popeye}}\\\'\\\' cartoon set in England.
** Chumly the Troll often says \\\"bloody\\\" in RobertAsprin\\\'s \\\'\\\'Myth\\\'\\\' books.
** In the (awful) \\\'\\\'{{Darkstalkers}}\\\'\\\' AnimatedSeries, [[NinjaPirateZombieRobot Australian zombie rock star]] Lord Raptor says \\\"bloody marvellous\\\".
*** In a YoutubePoop based off of that episode, not only is the word repeated several times, but after a few repeats, a subtitle pops up saying [[CaptainObvious \\\"HE\\\'S SAYING \\\'BLOODY\\\' ON A CHILDREN\\\'S SHOW!\\\"]]
** In the movie based on \\\'\\\'BatmanTheAnimatedSeries\\\'\\\' \\\'\\\'\\\"Mask of the Phantasm\\\"\\\'\\\', after a bit of a spat between the two, Batman\\\'s butler, Alfred, says \\\"bloody\\\".
** A one-off use of \\\"buggers\\\" was the cause of \\\'\\\'Sonic Rush Adventure\\\'\\\' getting a 12+ rating in the UK.
** A concerned housewife once wrote to a British computer magazine about a \\\'\\\'DoraTheExplorer\\\'\\\' kids\\\' game that apparently features Dora calling out \\\"Bugger\\\" in one scene.
** \\\'\\\'MightyMax\\\'\\\' used the term \\\"bugger\\\" as a description of large bugs. American DonaldDuck comic books have included stories called \\\"Bugged by Humbuggery\\\" (a phony exterminator fills Donald\\\'s house with bugs) and \\\"The Think Box Bollix\\\" (Gyro\\\'s \\\"think box\\\" inventions go berserk). On the other hand, UK Disney comics routinely used the word \\\"hell,\\\" considered far too racy for US use.
