Citizens that are either reallllly pessimistic or really apathetic.
The Empire taking over the world? Giant meteor in the sky? Evil vampire slaughtering people? Clownish madman destroying the world? Eldritch Abomination awakening? They don't care. It's somebody else's problem. It doesn't even seem to faze them beyond the occasional "Wow, that's a big rock in the sky." Sure, occasionally the mayor will ask you to save their town, but that's as much concern as they express. The shopkeepers might sell you the supplies you need to rescue them, but they'll charge full price, because there's No Hero Discount. It's Up to You.
They'll just shuffle around, minding their own business, While Rome Burns.
In a film where cities are destroyed, this trope runs as rampant as the disasters themselves. No matter how many warnings the populace has, no matter if there have been fissures opening in the streets for days or giant alien spaceships hovering overhead, there are always a huge number of people who are just there to stare in disbelief right before being obliterated. Unfortunately, this has more than a little Truth in Television. The trope is justified here because seeing an empty city trashed is not as emotional as knowing millions are dying.
Expect these to be one of the everyday inhabitants of a Dystopia or Crapsack World, to highlight the psychological despair of the setting. Justified in these kinds of settings, since the immutability of their misery have made them experience the in-universe equivalent of Too Bleak, Stopped Caring. Dystopian governments also prefer their citizens to be apathetic and easier to rule, and might try to deliberately invoke this trope through Bread and Circuses.
This is also used poetically (mostly in fantasy) in making the statement that magical events and miracles takes place all the time and all around us, and people are just too busy, or too distracted to see it. But in extreme fantasy it could be that the citizens ignore the flying horse, disappearing church, or whatever the event, because it is a common-place occurrence in that world. If the apathetic citizen is working as a cashier or store clerk, then it's Apathetic Clerk.
The parable of the Good Samaritan makes this trope Older Than Feudalism, although it is of course averted within the story.
See also Bystander Syndrome, It Can't Be Helped, Unusually Uninteresting Sight, Suicidal Pacifism, Adam Smith Hates Your Guts, Conditioned to Accept Horror, Stiff Upper Lip, as well as the Just For Fun page Dying Like Animals. If their apathy crosses the line into antagonism, see Ungrateful Townsfolk.

While the citizen of Empire City will easily notice Cole and act accordingly to his Karma rating in inFAMOUS, they have the annoying habit of just standing around while you're duking it out with street gangs and giant robots. While not much of an inconvenience if you're playing as a villain, in which case you can just blast everything in sight, be it villain or civilian, it gets particularly annoying when playing as a hero, and you can't use any of your stronger powers because twenty damn old ladies are between you and baddies.

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess: Nobody seems to notice that their beloved Queen Zelda has disappeared. They don't even talk about her all that much or even when Hyrule Castle is surrounded by an impenetrable bubble. When the city is first filled with darkness, they watch the castle burn and don't seem to really care! To paraphrase Midna: "This city is full of idiots!"
Subverted in the manga, where, even with an Apocalyptic Gag Order in place, Hyrule Castle Town is shown to be Obviously Not Fine, and everyone is so on edge that a single witness report of a Savage Wolf (i.e., Link) sends the city into lockdown and all the guards hunting it down. Later on, when Ashei realizes Link knows a lot more about what's happening than he's let on, she tears into him for acting like he's The Only One who can do anything and leaving everyone else paralyzed against whatever is threatening them. So he does. And Ashei uses that knowledge to prepare Hyrule's knights against the massive Keystone Army that pours out of the castle while Link is battling Ganondorf.

The Six Million Dollar Man: In the episode "Stranger at Broken Fork", the people don't do squat as the local hooligans force the mental patients out of their convalescent home to be disposed of — in the middle of the desert, egged on by a low-down and evil grocer, off all people — even after Steve and the local police save the day.

This is the reason Rorschach became a costumed vigilante in Watchmen - his first 'origin' ("Kovacs pretending to be Rorschach") was triggered by reading in the newspaper about the case of Kitty Genovese (see the Real Life section).

In Eric, Rincewind travels back to the Discworld's Fantasy Conflict Counterpart of the Trojan War, and is bewildered to find that most citizens of Tsort are utterly uninterested in the Ephebians invading the city as long as the fighting isn't physically getting in the way of their business (and even then, may attempt to sell the combatants some food). It's the army's job to worry about that, especially since it doesn't make much difference to the average Tsortean how it turns out:

Played as hilariously straight as it is horrifying, in the GONE series, residents of the FAYZ are used to several people dropping dead on the street every week, and have genuinely stopped reacting fully to it, unless they were personally involved with the poor smuck.

In Zettai Hero Project, the citizens are presumably so used to world ending threats that they don't really care that there's a rampaging Final Boss threatening to destroy the world, reasoning that the world's most popular hero The Unlosing Ranger will stop him. The event is even televised as a media sensation. When the Ranger dies and the torch is passed to a weak bystander who gets killed in one shot, they still don't care. Reaches legendary proportions when a nuke threatens to destroy Japan in 20 minutes, and nobody can stop it besides the weak bystander. Do they gain faith in him? No, surely someone else besides that loser will save them.

The Smurfs themselves on the very first level of the 16-bit version of Infogrames' The Smurfs (1994). Not only do they not seem to care that your fellow Smurfs have been captured by Gargamel and you're the only Smurf that needs to rescue them, they're also inadvertently trying to kill you with their daily activities!

Sonic Unleashed: The world has been torn apart, an Eldritch Abomination is wreaking havoc at night, and Eggman is being uncharacteristically menacing, yet the only townspeople to show appropriate concern or despair are revealed to be possessed by the aforementioned Eldritch Abomination. It's a little bit creepy finding people completely aware of the grim state of the world, yet much more concerned with mundane problems. This is lampshaded by Amy when she asks why everyone is so laid-back during the crisis.

Dragon Age:
Dragon Age: Origins: NPCs will often ignore huge battles taking place right beside them, and outside of one guy in Lothering, none of the Templars seem to notice that Morrigan is an apostate. The latter is rather justified, as Ser Bryant, the leader of the Lothering Templars, does point out that his main concern is the approaching Darkspawn horde, and as long as they don't cause trouble, he simply has bigger fish to fry than a Mage Warden or their Apostate allies. Another reason is that Templars likely don't want to create a diplomatic incident with the Grey Wardens over arresting their allies, especially in lieu of the Blight — a side-quest in Dragon Age: Origins – Awakening shows what happens when the Templars do try to take issue with the Grey Wardens hiring apostates. For the most part, the only objection the Templars have to the Grey Wardens is their refusal to ban Blood Magic, seeing it as simply another tool to use against the horde.
Dragon Age II: The citizens of Kirkwall don't seem to notice or care that the city's most famous resident, a rogue wizard, the captain of the guard, and a pirate are getting into massive, bloody battles in residential neighborhoods.

One episode of one of the Care Bears television series had the eponymous characters and their cousins visit a gray town filled with apathetic people who didn't care about the miserable state of their surrounding or the kind actions offered. It's later revealed to be a Fisher Kingdom under the spell of a nearby gem, causing the the Care bears and their cousins to slowly lose their color and become increasingly non-caring. In the end, it is destroyed just before the characters succumb to its effects and everything becomes happy and cheerful again.

In Second Empire, Xenol has found that the rulers of Dalek society have begun implementing a series of "efficiency" measures such as effectively slaving the Dalek Empire to their computers and stopping assigning names in favor of strings of alphanumeric code, among other measures he sees as polluting the Dalek legacy. He arranges for a break-in into Skaro in a daring mission to kill the Emperor, and when that fails, he has inflicted massive damage to the Dalek capital and considerably thinned the city guard. He leaves Skaro, fully confident the citizenry will see his acts and begin asking questions and weakening the Emperor's rule. Cue the Skaro's Largest Kwalorblmn Fruit report next day.

No one listens, and just go back to whatever they're doing (one of them even playing Solitaire on the job). He quickly runs out, comes back with an assault rifle and fires a volley into the ceiling to be sure everyone's paying attention and gets moving.

Arrow: Hatred at the population of the Glades turns out to motivate the plans of the first season's Big Bad to Kill the Poor: when his wife was stabbed in a mugging gone wrong, despite being both out in the open and a wealthy philanthropist who worked in the area (in fact, she was coming home from a free clinic she founded/ran when she was stabbed), nobody lifted a finger to help her. With the revelation she only died because nobody even called the police during the hours she spent bleeding out, with people walking past her indifferently all that time, the villain's views about the need to destroy such a Wretched Hive are understandable.

In the beginning of Worm/DC crossover Echoes of Yesterday, Kara tracks down cries for help in Winslow High School and finds Taylor imprisoned into her locker as everyone but her bullies is passing by and ignoring her shouting. Later on, when Principal Blackwell asks why a super-hero would get involved in a case of bullying, Kara retorts "[She] was needed, because no one was bothering to help her, even the staff."

Tales Series:
In Tales of Symphonia, at one point, a planet appears overhead. The two planets are mere miles away from each other, and it turns the sky a bright shade of purple. However, no one seems to be upset that another world is placed so close to theirs, except for one college student, who worries that it might mess up his senior thesis.
In Tales of Vesperia, a similar premise takes place when the Adephagos is introduced into the world. Despite it being blatantly obvious in its eventual destruction of the world, the populace, for the most part, doesn't look like they care much. However, this is changed when the guilds, Knights, and everyone else joins together to destroy blastia in the hopes of bringing change to the world.

Baldur's Gate:
Baldur's Gate: Many citizens are aware that the world's going to hell right now (again), but nobody seems to be arsed to do a thing about it. Also, people who lose things, have their friends kidnapped, or just plain want to investigate strange happenings, are quite content to wait around and wait for you to do the job yourself, or at best, wait for you to talk to them before heading on their quest with you in tow.
Baldur's Gate II handles most of the quests a bit better, especially the class-specific/stronghold quests: it's not that the citizens are apathetic, and in fact, there's more than a few people trying to do things about the problems, but they're level 1 nobodies and know it, so they're not about to look into it themselves. They'd much rather hire the roving band of god-like mercenaries.
This makes the actions of the NPC crowd even stranger in the first game, when one of the big problems is an iron shortage that your party can resolve by third level. What has the Badass Army Flaming Fist been doing if it isn't chasing the Player Character down for infractions of Video Game Cruelty Potential?

Sonic the Hedgehog (2006): Early on in the game, you find yourself impeded by a large door which won't be opened without authorization from the captain of the police force, but the officer who tells you this won't just tell you where to find the captain; apparently, the best use of their time was to devise silly little Knights and Knaves games meant to impede people trying to save the princess. The worst partnote  Aside from the fact that the captain is the guy who gives you the "find the captain" mission, or, in other words, the guy standing right next to the door you want open. is that, when you finally locate the captain, he tells you they gave you the runaround because they just really didn't feel like helping you save their beloved monarch.

RWBY:
In "Necessary Sacrifice", much to Sun's frustration, no one in Menagerie is willing to help protect Haven Academy from the White Fang. Blake explains that Menagerie has been populated by Faunus who are tired of fighting or struggling and just want to be left alone. Asking them to go and fight other people's wars is asking them to put strangers before themselves. Her concern is that the people of Menagerie haven't yet realized that the damage the White Fang will do in the eyes of the humans will affect even Menagerie.
In "True Colors", the citizens are finally broken out of this attitude when the White Fang attacks and tries to kill Blake's parents, the beloved leaders of Menagerie; this, along with a Rousing Speech from Blake, convinces them to help.

Baldur's Gate II handles most of the quests a bit better, especially the class-specific/stronghold quests: it's not that the citizens are apathetic, and in fact, there's more than a few people trying to do things about the problems, but they're level 1 nobodies and know it, so they're not about to look into it themselves. They'd much rather hire the roving band of god-like mercenaries.

In Phantasy Star IV, late in the game, the people of Piata are worried about what will happen to their city when they find out that a huge hole has opened up in the earth north of them and all life around it is dying inexplicably, including killing everyone in Mile, a nearby village. They don't do anything about it. Piata is called the Town Of Learning because it's the only place in the solar system with a university, and the world's smartest people live there. It does have a notable aversion, though, see below.

In Tales of Vesperia, a similar premise takes place when the Adephagos is introduced into the world. Despite it being blatantly obvious in its eventual destruction of the world, the populace, for the most part, doesn't look like they care much. However, this is changed when the guilds, Knights, and everyone else joins together to destroy blastia in the hopes of bringing change to the world.

In Lizzie, it is disturbingly implied that the townspeople know, or at least suspect, that Lizzie's father is abusing her... and yet, no one has tried to help her. No calls to the police, no attempts at helping her escape, not one person even asking her if she's alright. And it's more than just one-sided; Lizzie doesn't even consider asking anyone for help, either, perhaps out of fear that she won't be believed or taken seriously. The play is set in 1892, but sexual assault and domestic abuse would have raised an eyebrow even then.

The Long Goodbye (2020) is set in a dystopian Britain where white nationalist militias drag Britons of Pakistani ancestry out of their houses and murder them in the street. As Riz's family is massacred, the white people in the neighborhood simply watch from behind their windows, even after Riz's brother spots some of them and screams for them to "Fucking help us!"

Oblivion:
There are many cases, especially the rulers of the cities and the empire. At the climax of the main story, there is a demonic invasion about to occur outside one of the most important imperial cities. If the battle and the city are lost, the empire will fall as the demons would have a clean march to the heart of the empire. So your character goes around trying to muster support for the coming invasion. If you do everything perfectly (taking over an hour per city), you'll be assisted by...14 standard city guards. Not 14 guards per city. 14 guards total. To top things off, the capital of the empire can't send any troops at all because: "They are too busy protecting the borders". Priorities seem skewed...
During the main part of the game there are Oblivion Gates open all over the land, constantly pouring demons out of them, and no one outside of the main quest line seems overly concerned about that.
Wonky AI also contributes to this and zigzags it. Plenty of videos have sprung up of people committing flagrant crimes in front of guards and citizens, who yell at them but can't be bothered to get up out of their chair to actually do something about it. On the other hand, it's equally common to see the populace of Cyrodiil drastically overreact to minor crimes, leading the theft of an onion to balloon out into a full-on riot, leaving a dozen dead.
Inverted for the City Guards in comparison the the previous game, Morrowind. Bethesda seems to have overcompensated, because in Oblivion, a perfectly viable way to defeat tough enemies is to simply lure them toward some guards who will take care of them in short order.

The citizens of OsTown and Mean Street in Epic Mickey. The world is nothing but a dangerous, toxic, dark, forsaken wasteland, death machines and murderous predators made of ink waiting around just for a chance to slit their throats or take their souls, the world is ruled by Cthulhu's long lost cousin and a Mad Scientist with an amputation fetish, their former king is losing his grip of reality due to bitterness, jealousy, grief and loneliness, and the most famous star in animation history is running around either trying to save the world or playing Grand Theft Auto Disney-style on them and they all walk around with big smiles and happy faces and says they've no problems in the world and just ask you to deliver their mail or bring them flowers or something.

Alice Isn't Dead: During part 3, the conspiracy of the cannibalistic thistle men, their fake war with Bay and Creek, and how the US government is supporting them both gets expose to the public and life goes on like nothing has happened with none of the expected shock and outrage. There is barely any mention of it in the news and one guy just says he isn't into politics when asked about it. The protagonists think they have lost until they figure out that they need to gather people together to do something about it.

Happens in the Lilo & Stitch: The Series episode "Lax", where the cast from Recess Cross Overed into Lilo and Stitch's universe for a vacation in their Hawaiian island hometown. One of Stitch's "cousins" activated to cause havoc is a parrot-like experiment named Lax who had the ability to fire green rays from his antenna that caused anything it hits to relax or stop working. When Pleakley, Jumba, and Stitch get zapped by the lazy beam, they all go on vacation, forcing Lilo to rely on her new friends to stop the experiment so they can use it to deactivate Hamsterviel's latest destructive weapon. As Lax dwindles down their numbers, all but Lilo and The Smart Guy Gretchen are left to stop the latest threat. When Lax's beams hit Gretchen, she acts unaffected as her Workaholic personality allows her to derive relaxation and satisfaction from her work. Through improvisation, they use their affected friend's vacation play to catch the experiment, deactivating the destructive machine and finding Lax's one true place where he belongs by using his powers to make grouchy business people enjoy their vacations.

In Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home, The crew of the Enterprise is wandering the streets of San Francisco in 1986 in full Starfleet uniforms, trying to find their way to a nuclear reactor to power the ship's depleted warp drive, while various pedestrians just ignore them (except for one helpful soul who points them to Alameda; the crew had to chase her down to get her to sign a release to use the footage). In pre-production, the studio was concerned that locals would see the actors in costume and interfere with filming, so they sent people out to tour the area in full uniform. Nobody took any notice.

Knights of the Old Republic has plenty of this from the Muggles, but it's justified to the point of Deconstruction, especially in the second game, by the fact that the Force Users are dragging everyone else into their conflict (not for the first time, and certainly not for the last), and many don't see much of a difference between Jedi and Sith.

The Twilight Zone (1985): In "Many, Many Monkeys", almost 100,000 people across the United States suddenly go blind as a result of a growth forming over their eyes. Jean Reed's theory is that it is a punishment for humanity's indifference towards each other's pain and suffering. She tells Nurse Claire Hendricks that her husband lost his sight after he received news of his mother's death and talked about it as if he was discussing the weather. Jean admits that she left him alone in spite of his condition in order to save herself and thinks that she was struck blind as a result. Claire eventually becomes convinced that Jean was right when she said that people have become monkeys.

In Skyrim, most people seem concerned about the impending draconic apocalypse, but they just go about their normal business since they know there's nothing they can do about it. But if someone dies in front of them, chances are they'll just say "Oh. What happened?", knowing full well that the culprit is right behind them with a weapon covered in blood. Ans sometimes, after the town your visiting is attacked by a freaking dragon, the citizens react to the aftermath like it was a normal day in the neighborhood.

Ironically, the citizens in Persona 3 act this way toward Apathy Syndrome victims. People with Apathy Syndrome can't talk or move, so if they're stuck outside, they can easily become dehydrated or get heat stroke. However, it seems that most people you speak to are too creeped out to get near a victim or can't even be bothered to help. One student even admits to taking pictures of every victim he saw and sending them to his friends.

Persona 4: The longer the fog remains in the town, the more apathetic the citizens get. The protagonists worry about this when they notice that the townspeople are more concerned with the latest trending topic than they are about the problems the town is facing. As they later learn, the fog represents self-deceit, and is fueled by the people's desire for a convenient lie over harsh reality. Both of the major villains have the nihilistic belief that this is all there is to mankind, and are willing to grant that wish by forcibly merging the real world with the Shadow world when the fog inevitably grows strong enough.

Persona 5: Regularly discussed. Many of the villains bring up the fact they can do the horrible things they've done because the general public is more interested in being told what to do rather than doing what's right on their own. In fact, the Phantom Thieves decide to continue their activities after the first dungeon in order to encourage people to not be afraid and apathetic anymore. The optional dungeon Mementos is actually the Palace of Tokyo's general population, created by mundane stressors such as a loss of livelihood, status, and family. These fears prevent them from challenging the status quo that allows the villains to get away with their crimes. Of the Seven Deadly Sins the Palaces and their creators represent, Mementos and humanity represent "Sloth". The apathy of the general public becomes somewhat ridiculous when the supernatural Big Bad creates a Palace of the population of Tokyo itself, rains acid blood on everyone inside, and 99.5% of the population continues walking and pretends they're not noticing their neighbors melting right in front of them.

Shows up a lot in Shiki, where most of the villagers are utterly apathetic about the vampires taking over the town (they think it's an epidemic of disease, but still). An epidemic is one thing, but the town having dozens of deaths, and slowly being repopulated by pale people who only work at night, you'd think they'd be at least a little suspicious. This ends up frustrating Doctor Ozaki to no end resulting in him hatching a plan to try and get the villagers to act.

In The War Game, a 1965 docudrama about a nuclear attack on Britain, blame for this is put on the authorities and the media who've failed to educate or even address the populace on the subject of nuclear war. Sure enough, the BBC prevented the film from being aired on the grounds that it was too disturbing for television.

Grave of the Fireflies:
At the beginning, a bunch of people walk past Seita as he dies of malnutrition. This was a very common sight in those days, so no one offers to help him.
When an air raid siren goes off, the aunt says, in a very disinterested tone, "Oh, not again."
When Seita informs his aunt that his mother is dead, her reaction is essentially to mumble, "How awful," and tell Seita to write to his father about it, without saying much else aside of how odd it is that he hasn't responded by now.

The Dark Knight
The Joker finishes off his first display of talent by having a school bus drive into the bank and then pull out in the middle of a group of them, in broad daylight, on a busy street. The only reaction of the people on the street that the audience is able to notice is a bunch of kids cheering.
Later on, Batman has to plow through an alleyway of parked cars on his Batpod. Two kids in the alleyway pretending to shoot guns at the cars watch as the cars really do start blowing up. One seems amazed but not frightened, while the other smiles.

Some politicians attempt to enforce this trope in the Newsflesh Trilogy, and without laws, its probably a good way to stay alive. You see, in this world, anyone dying can, within minutes, zombify. Thus quite a few people (and laws) are concerned that attempts to help people killed in car-crashes or heart-attacks will just lead to further outbreaks.

In The Lord of the Rings Online, a number of Non Player Characters were constantly moaning about how terrible things were. This was later changed to make them less unhappy.

The usual citizens of the Marvel Universe and the DCU do not usually react to people using superpowers or flying around in costumes. After all, after some decades of ongoing continuity, it would not be realistic to expect them to keep pointing "it's a bird, it's a plane..." The exception is when there is a severe fight or destruction: people that keep shopping while Terrax or Despero destroy the buildings some meters away would be too much. Another exception (or not) is when the characters go back in time; the unusual overreactions to superheroes make it even more clear that they are not "at home".

Dragon Age: Origins: NPCs will often ignore huge battles taking place right beside them, and outside of one guy in Lothering, none of the Templars seem to notice that Morrigan is an apostate. The latter is rather justified, as Ser Bryant, the leader of the Lothering Templars, does point out that his main concern is the approaching Darkspawn horde, and as long as they don't cause trouble, he simply has bigger fish to fry than a Mage Warden or their Apostate allies. Another reason is that Templars likely don't want to create a diplomatic incident with the Grey Wardens over arresting their allies, especially in lieu of the Blight — a side-quest in Dragon Age: Origins – Awakening shows what happens when the Templars do try to take issue with the Grey Wardens hiring apostates. For the most part, the only objection the Templars have to the Grey Wardens is their refusal to ban Blood Magic, seeing it as simply another tool to use against the horde.

The Godfather game is weird about this; sure, there's Crowd Panic should you be seen with a gun, or get involved in a gunfight, or crash into something... but if you use your car's horn to try and get them out of the way when you're speeding to somewhere, they don't care. Perhaps a case of Truth in Television?

In Sinclair Lewis' It Can't Happen Here, the citizens who did not take seriously Windrip's rise to power qualify as this. Emma Jessop is a recurring example, as she's more concerned about mundane matters than the rise of fascism in America, much to Doremus' chargrin.

Played straight in Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance, where the citizens of Crimea, at least in Port Toha, explicitly state that they don't care that their country is being overrun, though they're aware of it.

Home Alone 2: Lost in New York
Hardly anyone reacts to Harry and Marv chasing Kevin through the streets. It is also weird how Kevin does not even bother to ask anyone for help.
Another example from the same film, though probably not from malice; it does depend on the perspective, the infamous Christmas pageant scene. As Kevin sings his solo, unbeknownst to him, Buzz decides to humiliate him, doing things such as giving him "bunny ears" with two electric candles, and pretending to beat on his head like a drum swinging the candles around like drumsticks. This invokes nearly the entire audience to erupt in laughter. It is questionable why an audience mostly full of adults and older students think it is acceptable to laugh at a child being treated as if he was an idiot, either they think what Buzz is doing is downright hilarious and is just goofing around with a harmless prank, or they are doing it for the intentions of demeaning Kevin, difficult to say when we see it from his perspective alone, but it is quite possible, since we are seeing it from his perspective, it is probably coming off much harsher than it actually was. Either way, it is quite sadistic that this would happen in a school performance let alone to a kid. Apparently, everyone was just too polite to violate the (ostensibly) formal atmosphere of the Christmas pageant. Kevin did get everyone to shut up though when he decided to shove Buzz causing him and the rest of the choir to fall over, as well as the set and the pianist, but he had to be called on that.

[PROTOTYPE]: By late in the game, most of Manhattan is a warzone between Alex Mercer, the US Marine Corps and Shadowy Government Conspiracy, and the Infected. However, in many areas, traffic is going normally, and people are casually strolling down the streets, right up until Mercer shows up while using any of his visible powers, or the Infected start spreading again. Then they panic. They should know better by now. It gets so absurd, that you can stand at the edge of an infected zone and a neutral zone and look left, see people panicking, screaming and freaking out as infected attack them and the military attacks them, then look right and see completely calm people cross the street without a care in the world.

The Legend of Zelda:
Zelda II: The Adventure of Link has a mix.
Plenty of people are willing to help Link, but sometimes require strange tasks. Getting one key spell, for example, requires getting water for a woman when the fountain is the next screen over. Another complains about a trophy being stolen and requires its return to get the spell.
The random townspeople are a mixed bag. Some of them are clearly worried, with phrases like "You must save Hyrule!" and "Please save our town!". Others express "I am much too busy to talk to a stranger" or "I know nothing".
The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask: In a combination of the giant moon in the sky and the clownish madman trying to destroy the world, the premise has the possessed Skull Kid bringing the moon down on Termina. Reactions range from "Gee, the moon's getting bigger..." to plans in a Bomb Shop for trying to GET to said moon using bombs. Even the Mask Salesman who starts you on your journey doesn't do anything himself, only shaking you if you go back to him without the eponymous mask.
The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap: Princess Zelda gets turned to stone, and nobody in town gives a shit. In fact, all they ever seem to give a toss about is how strange the King is acting - by which time you'll probably have seen the cutscene that explains it. People are more interested in Kinstones.
The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess: Nobody seems to notice that their beloved Queen Zelda has disappeared. They don't even talk about her all that much or even when Hyrule Castle is surrounded by an impenetrable bubble. When the city is first filled with darkness, they watch the castle burn and don't seem to really care! To paraphrase Midna: "This city is full of idiots!"
Subverted in the manga, where, even with an Apocalyptic Gag Order in place, Hyrule Castle Town is shown to be Obviously Not Fine, and everyone is so on edge that a single witness report of a Savage Wolf (i.e., Link) sends the city into lockdown and all the guards hunting it down. Later on, when Ashei realizes Link knows a lot more about what's happening than he's let on, she tears into him for acting like he's The Only One who can do anything and leaving everyone else paralyzed against whatever is threatening them. So he does. And Ashei uses that knowledge to prepare Hyrule's knights against the massive Keystone Army that pours out of the castle while Link is battling Ganondorf.
The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword: Anyone in Skyloft will let you sleep in their bed. Especially Beedle, who complains how your sleeping in his bed made him have to pedal even harder just to keep his floating shop afloat. He says he doesn't mind, but he certainly complains about it enough.

One episode of Steven Universe revolves around Ronaldo trying to make the citizens of his hometown actually care that they were attacked every other week by alien monsters that only the Gems can fight. Even when it becomes apparent that the monsters are only attacking the town because they're looking for the aforementioned Gems, the strongest response he gets is "but what do you expect us to DO about it?".

In the gospels of Matthew and Luke, Jesus in the Olivet Discourse warns that the days leading to His Second Coming will be like "the days of Noah" in which people will do ordinary things like "marrying and giving in marriage" and will not be aware that the "end of the age" will come upon them until it's too late. He also warns His followers not to be caught up in the things and cares of this world, lest the Day of His Coming comes upon them without warning.

In Tales of Symphonia, at one point, a planet appears overhead. The two planets are mere miles away from each other, and it turns the sky a bright shade of purple. However, no one seems to be upset that another world is placed so close to theirs, except for one college student, who worries that it might mess up his senior thesis.

In 1st Kings, Elijah the prophet deals with the religious apathy of the people of the northern kingdom of Israel during King Ahab's reign, telling them, "How long will you keep hopping between two opinions? If the LORD is God, follow Him; and if Baal, follow him!" (1st Kings 18:21) He then proceeds with the contest between the prophets of Baal and himself to show which one among the two is truly God.

In Star Trek, the Federation can act like this at times. We never get any indication that the citizens have any problem with Starfleet seeking out new life and new civilizations and occasionally (often by total accident) pissing them off. With how often Trek villains state their end goal is to destroy the Federation (Earth in particular), you'd think there would be some opposition from the people on Federation worlds that will be razed due to Starfleet's actions? Do the people have any say in things?
When the Maquis protested that their colonies were given to the Cardassians without their consent, rebelling against Cardassian rule, they were denounced as terrorists, rounded up and imprisoned as enemies of the state. As shown in the Star Trek: Voyager episode "Non Sequitur", even talking to a known member of the Maquis and looking up certain information on a public database is enough to get someone slapped with an ankle bracelet.
the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode "Paradise Lost" shows one dangerous Starfleet officer trying to force Starfleet into becoming a full-blown police state in the name of Federation security, although this time, the people do notice the armed personnel on every street corner and take a stand.
Subverted by the Organians in the Star Trek: The Original Series episode "Errand of Mercy", who appear this way to the Federation and Klingons at first, even shrugging off the threat of mass murder against their people. As it turns out, however, they're really an incomprehensibly powerful race of energy beings who were just sitting back and observing the two alien powers to see just how rotten they could be to each other.

Super Mario Bros.:
Played straight and subverted in Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story. Many of the toads in the game show some level of concern over the outbreak of Blorbs and at least notice the disappearance of everyone in Peach's castle, but none of them are actually willing to do anything about it. That said, when things land right in their lap, most of them are plenty willing to scream and panic (i.e. when Bowser grows several stories and has a Godzilla-style throwdown with a Humongous Mecha formed using Peach's castle).
Super Mario Sunshine: The citizens have the shine sprites needed to get the island sunny again. They have Mario do everything for them instead of pooling them in or just giving them to Mario. Especially egregious are the tanookis running the boathouse, who are actually hoarding two dozen Shine Sprites and will only fork them over for blue coins.

Lethal Enforcers: Most citizens, like in many Light Gun Games, are just annoying in how they jump out of cover to yell at you to not shoot, but a few, notably in Chinatown Assault, seem to be completely unconcerned with the active shooting situation going on around them. Notably one old man in the subway station who is sleeping on a bench throughout the entire scene, only moving to scratch himself or look up annoyed at you. A chef trying to catch a chicken also walks through the scene.

Hitman:
The series usually averts this, with civilians screaming and running at any sign of danger, but the last mission of Hitman: Contracts hands you a blatant example — you can mug a paramedic for his clothes with a half-dozen civilians standing five feet away, looking directly at you. It doesn't raise the alarm at all.
In the Mardi Gras level of Hitman: Blood Money, the teeming mass of partygoers choking the streets don't notice or care if 47 is running around having gun battles with cops and thugs dressed as giant birds. They don't even count as living witnesses afterwards.

All over the place in Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, which can be justified in that, a) it's New York, and b) it's a New York that has been a playground for superheroes and supervillains for over a decade. By this point, the natives have truly Seen It All, and only react when something weird even by Spider-Man standards starts happening. One of the best examples is when, briefly after Miles gets bitten by the radioactive spider and is swinging through Brooklyn, he and Peter B. accidentally crash and land right in the middle of a crowded crosswalk, both in full Spider-Man costume. He nervously says, "You can just go around," and everyone, without even blinking or acknowledging him, takes that advice, some even going over them.

Photographers and journalists for the Associated Press have to deal with this dilemma for their entire careers. A natural disaster has just occurred. People are trapped under rubble and will die in minutes if it isn't cleared away. In a strange twist, some photographers have actually faced backlash for 'just doing their job' as was the case with Kevin Carter and his photo of a young girl being stalked by a vulture. After the photo received widespread acclaim, he received a lot of criticism for not intervening and helping the girl, criticism which appeared to haunt him until he took his own life. In actuality, the "girl" in the photo was actually a boy whose mother had left on the edge of a UN aid distribution site so that he would not be injured in the crush of a desperate mob rushing the site to struggle for food aid. There was fundamentally nothing Carter could have done to help. Incidentally, the boy in the picture lived to adulthood and died of a fever in his thirties. The film crew of the show COPS deals with this frequently. On at least a few occasions, they've taken their impartial stance and threw it by the wayside to help, such as assisting a cop performing CPR.

In an episode of M*A*S*H, Hawkeye, in attempting to demonstrate the apathy of the camp, makes a bet with Trapper that he could walk into lunch stark naked and no one would notice. He was only foiled because a soldier did notice and dropped his tray loudly enough to get people's attention.

Lost:
It seems like the background characters don't give a tiny rat's rear about the monster, the Others, the sky turning purple, or any of the other weird stuff that happens on Craphole Island. They just want to eat Dharma products and lie on the beach. They don't even want to build an SOS sign or play ping-pong.
The severe lack of 'island savvy' is commented upon by some of the characters, who then go off later and do exactly what they warned other people not to do. Not wander through the jungle alone because there be monsters. The characters are aware they should not even be alive in the first place (it was a nasty crash) but still...

In the Lemony Snicket series A Series of Unfortunate Events, most of society is unwilling and/or unable to fight injustice, and many would prefer to gawk at violence for entertainment than attempt to stop it, unless it actually threatens them.

Persona:
Ironically, the citizens in Persona 3 act this way toward Apathy Syndrome victims. People with Apathy Syndrome can't talk or move, so if they're stuck outside, they can easily become dehydrated or get heat stroke. However, it seems that most people you speak to are too creeped out to get near a victim or can't even be bothered to help. One student even admits to taking pictures of every victim he saw and sending them to his friends.
Persona 4: The longer the fog remains in the town, the more apathetic the citizens get. The protagonists worry about this when they notice that the townspeople are more concerned with the latest trending topic than they are about the problems the town is facing. As they later learn, the fog represents self-deceit, and is fueled by the people's desire for a convenient lie over harsh reality. Both of the major villains have the nihilistic belief that this is all there is to mankind, and are willing to grant that wish by forcibly merging the real world with the Shadow world when the fog inevitably grows strong enough.
Persona 5: Regularly discussed. Many of the villains bring up the fact they can do the horrible things they've done because the general public is more interested in being told what to do rather than doing what's right on their own. In fact, the Phantom Thieves decide to continue their activities after the first dungeon in order to encourage people to not be afraid and apathetic anymore. The optional dungeon Mementos is actually the Palace of Tokyo's general population, created by mundane stressors such as a loss of livelihood, status, and family. These fears prevent them from challenging the status quo that allows the villains to get away with their crimes. Of the Seven Deadly Sins the Palaces and their creators represent, Mementos and humanity represent "Sloth". The apathy of the general public becomes somewhat ridiculous when the supernatural Big Bad creates a Palace of the population of Tokyo itself, rains acid blood on everyone inside, and 99.5% of the population continues walking and pretends they're not noticing their neighbors melting right in front of them.

Lampshaded in Pokémon Black and White; at one point, N suggests that if everybody else in Unova cared about their Pokémon half as much as you do, he wouldn't have a cause, but they don't, so he does. This is averted with the Gym Leaders.

The neighbors all come out to listen to her, some with shamed expressions on their faces. When she's finished screaming, they all just file back inside.

Zigzagged in Cobra Mission. As we learn towards the end of the game, most young men and women were kidnapped and either killed or drugged and transformed into Mooks, and older folks are too afraid to leave their homes. Yet, most businesses (shops, delivery firm, construction company, railroad, hiring company) seem to be working as though nothing is out of ordinary.

Subverted by the Organians in the Star Trek: The Original Series episode "Errand of Mercy", who appear this way to the Federation and Klingons at first, even shrugging off the threat of mass murder against their people. As it turns out, however, they're really an incomprehensibly powerful race of energy beings who were just sitting back and observing the two alien powers to see just how rotten they could be to each other.

Leisure Suit Larry 2: Looking for Love (in Several Wrong Places): Everyone. They don't care if you are drugged, choking to death, drowning, or dying of bad food. In fact, they ALL WANT YOU TO DIE! Except for the hairstylists, that is. For instance, during the airport segment of the game, you find a suitcase with a ticking bomb in it and you decide to get it out of there before it kills everybody. You shout that you have a bomb and that everybody should get to safety, and they all ignore you. Even the guard seen in the way out (a local who knows just basic English) is informed of the bomb and replies "Have a nice day."

The Elder Scrolls:
In Morrowind, NPCs won't lift a finger to help you if you're under attack by another NPC. Even your fellow Guild members won't assist if you're attacked by a Dark Brotherhood assassin in the guild hall. The only exception is that City Guards will kill creatures if you lure them into town.
Oblivion:
There are many cases, especially the rulers of the cities and the empire. At the climax of the main story, there is a demonic invasion about to occur outside one of the most important imperial cities. If the battle and the city are lost, the empire will fall as the demons would have a clean march to the heart of the empire. So your character goes around trying to muster support for the coming invasion. If you do everything perfectly (taking over an hour per city), you'll be assisted by...14 standard city guards. Not 14 guards per city. 14 guards total. To top things off, the capital of the empire can't send any troops at all because: "They are too busy protecting the borders". Priorities seem skewed...
During the main part of the game there are Oblivion Gates open all over the land, constantly pouring demons out of them, and no one outside of the main quest line seems overly concerned about that.
Wonky AI also contributes to this and zigzags it. Plenty of videos have sprung up of people committing flagrant crimes in front of guards and citizens, who yell at them but can't be bothered to get up out of their chair to actually do something about it. On the other hand, it's equally common to see the populace of Cyrodiil drastically overreact to minor crimes, leading the theft of an onion to balloon out into a full-on riot, leaving a dozen dead.
Inverted for the City Guards in comparison the the previous game, Morrowind. Bethesda seems to have overcompensated, because in Oblivion, a perfectly viable way to defeat tough enemies is to simply lure them toward some guards who will take care of them in short order.
In Skyrim, most people seem concerned about the impending draconic apocalypse, but they just go about their normal business since they know there's nothing they can do about it. But if someone dies in front of them, chances are they'll just say "Oh. What happened?", knowing full well that the culprit is right behind them with a weapon covered in blood. Ans sometimes, after the town your visiting is attacked by a freaking dragon, the citizens react to the aftermath like it was a normal day in the neighborhood.

Pokémon:
A crime syndicate takes over our city? Cults attempt to flood and/or dry out the world? Some god-wannabe tries to restart all of creation? Some kid will take care of it for us.
Pokémon Emerald: the weather's gone to hell, two ancient titans are intent on destroying one another, Hoenn and possibly the world are in jeopardy... and that kid in Mossdeep is still rambling on about the rock Steven gave him. Now evacuate before your island floods. It gets worse when you're trying to solve the issue present in the Hoenn games, and trainers in the general area of the disaster will challenge you to a battle, despite the blistering heat or deluge of rain.
Pokémon Platinum: People seem worried... if they're in the area. This trait is carried on from Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald.
Mention goes to Pokemon Heart Gold And Soul Silver, where you can have the god of the Pokémon universe following you around and no one seems to notice. Well, except the guys at the Ruins of Alph.
Lampshaded in Pokémon Black and White; at one point, N suggests that if everybody else in Unova cared about their Pokémon half as much as you do, he wouldn't have a cause, but they don't, so he does. This is averted with the Gym Leaders. Unlike the previous generations where the Gym Leaders are just as apathetic as everyone else, the Leaders from seven of the eight Unova gyms are actively involved in opposing N and Team Plasma.
In Pokémon X and Y, two people in the town's Pokémon Center do notice that an enormous crystalline weapon has risen from the ground in the middle of Geosenge Town, destroying several houses in the process, and that Team Flare has seized control of their town. On the other hand, another guy in the Pokémon Center is still too busy talking about the TM he gave you earlier to notice anything unusual. But what really takes the cake is Phil the Photo Guy, as you can still call him to take your picture in the middle of all this, and he doesn't acknowledge any of what's going on. When you call him up, he just goes about his business like usual. Even after the crisis is averted, nobody really does anything to fix the damage done around Geosenge's north end, and everyone in town seems relatively unphased by the ordeal.
Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire play this game about as straight as the originals, but mercifully make the people of Mossdeep panic as well. It's a little more egregious given the nature of the BuzzNav which reports everything to every Trainer faster than Speed Forme Deoxys; everyone should know about this and be panicking, but only half the country cares.

In Mother 3, after Tazmily gets modernized by Fassad and the Pigmask army following a 3-year Time Skip, most of the villagers, once friendly and willing to help others in need, become colder and greedier, with Lucas and his family receiving the All of the Other Reindeer treatment for refusing to get a Happy Box (which opiates the villagers) and modernize their house. The villagers don't seem to be bothered with the Pigmask army destroying the Nowhere Island's ecosystem, the houses of people that don't own a happy box being mysteriously destroyed by lightning, or the elderly being thrown into a run-down retirement home.

The series usually averts this, with civilians screaming and running at any sign of danger, but the last mission of Hitman: Contracts hands you a blatant example — you can mug a paramedic for his clothes with a half-dozen civilians standing five feet away, looking directly at you. It doesn't raise the alarm at all.

And the only reason they are shocked is that they are the enemy stand users. Later, Narancia shoots one of them to death with Aerosmith and still nobody cares. For their defense, they cannot see stands, but a person suddenly being full of gunshots and spilling blood over people is certainly not an everyday experience.

The Bible:
In 1st Kings, Elijah the prophet deals with the religious apathy of the people of the northern kingdom of Israel during King Ahab's reign, telling them, "How long will you keep hopping between two opinions? If the LORD is God, follow Him; and if Baal, follow him!" (1st Kings 18:21) He then proceeds with the contest between the prophets of Baal and himself to show which one among the two is truly God.
In the gospels of Matthew and Luke, Jesus in the Olivet Discourse warns that the days leading to His Second Coming will be like "the days of Noah" in which people will do ordinary things like "marrying and giving in marriage" and will not be aware that the "end of the age" will come upon them until it's too late. He also warns His followers not to be caught up in the things and cares of this world, lest the Day of His Coming comes upon them without warning.
In the Book of Revelation, Jesus rebukes the church of Laodicea in one of His seven letters to the seven churches, telling them that they are "neither hot nor cold", and He would rather that they were one or the other, or else if they remained lukewarm, He will "spit them out of [His] mouth".

In the very first episode of Death Note, some thugs try to rape a woman in full view of a busy street, right in front of a convenience store where Light is (ostensibly) reading a manga. Later, an FBI agent has a Hollywood Heart Attack at a busy subway station, and no one seems to notice or care. Later still, Matt is shot by Takada's bodyguards, while hundreds (or even thousands) of people just look on.

The citizens found in Heavy Rain don't seem to particularly care about what goes on around them. In the prologue, Ethan and his son Shaun get hit by a car. While Ethan's wife Grace is hysterical over what she just witnessed, everyone else gathers around to see what's going on but they just stare in silence instead of offering to help or calling for an ambulance. In another case, Ethan's agoraphobia in a crowded train station nearly causes him to have a mental breakdown. While a few people do notice Ethan's behavior, they display annoyance rather than concern and everyone else just moves on without a care. Another situation occurs when Madison escorts an injured Ethan through a subway station to get away from the police that are chasing them. Madison decides to have herself and Ethan jump down to the tracks and cross it to reach the platform on the other side. The station is packed with commuters and yet not a single person bats an eye over a woman and an injured man trying to cross the train tracks.

The Boondock Saints:
The brothers listen to a sermon in which the priest tells the story of the murder of Kitty Genovese, including the historically apocryphal details that no one called the police or attempted to intervene. The sermon is an indirect endorsement of the brothers' vigilantism.
In All Saint's Day also but to a lesser extent than previous. The late Don Yakavetta's bastard son, Concezio Yakavetta, had been indicted for ordering the murders of 22 people but the s.o.b. got off scot-free. He's done so for years since the Saints' departure.

Game of Thrones:
Jaime mentions this trope when describing the Mad King's execution of Ned's father and brother in "Lord Snow":
In "Sons of the Harpy", Loras is seized by the Faith Militant just after a sparring match, but neither his squire, nor his sparring partner, nor any of the nearby nobles make any attempt to intervene as the Queen's brother is manhandled by commoners.

Sonic the Hedgehog:
Sonic the Hedgehog (2006): Early on in the game, you find yourself impeded by a large door which won't be opened without authorization from the captain of the police force, but the officer who tells you this won't just tell you where to find the captain; apparently, the best use of their time was to devise silly little Knights and Knaves games meant to impede people trying to save the princess. The worst partnote  Aside from the fact that the captain is the guy who gives you the "find the captain" mission, or, in other words, the guy standing right next to the door you want open. is that, when you finally locate the captain, he tells you they gave you the runaround because they just really didn't feel like helping you save their beloved monarch.
Sonic Unleashed: The world has been torn apart, an Eldritch Abomination is wreaking havoc at night, and Eggman is being uncharacteristically menacing, yet the only townspeople to show appropriate concern or despair are revealed to be possessed by the aforementioned Eldritch Abomination. It's a little bit creepy finding people completely aware of the grim state of the world, yet much more concerned with mundane problems. This is lampshaded by Amy when she asks why everyone is so laid-back during the crisis.

Good thing the invader is really bad at his job, which is the exact reason the other character gives for choosing to play video games instead of helping to fight said alien.

Robotech: The people of Earth are quite apathetic to the Invid rule and the attempts of the Robotech Expeditionary Force and the few partisan fighters to take them down. Justified by the fact that not only they leave Humans alone as long as they don't try to get more Protoculture than they're alloted or pose a danger to them (overlapping categories, as most mechas and weapons capable of fighting the Invid require Protoculture as fuel), but they've also repaired Earth's ecosystem after the Zentraedi bombardment at the end of the First Robotech War nearly collapsed it, so the citizens of Earth have little reason to oppose the conquerors and will sometimes even help them, luring the unsuspecting soldiers into ambushes and leaving before the Invid attack.

In Morrowind, NPCs won't lift a finger to help you if you're under attack by another NPC. Even your fellow Guild members won't assist if you're attacked by a Dark Brotherhood assassin in the guild hall. The only exception is that City Guards will kill creatures if you lure them into town.

Naruto: The Uchiha clan is killed in a single night and nobody but Sasuke (the sole survivor) seem to care at all. It's true that the Uchiha clan weren't on great relations with the rest of the village and were in fact planning a coup, but wouldn't somebody at least Think of the Children! You'd think the Uchiha clan would have at least some friends outside the family that would be devastated by this. Even if we assume people simply didn't care about them, this is still a ludicrous scenario. There is a mass murderer who can kill a clan on the loose and as far as they know, he could come back and come after them too. The Uchiha clan was at least one of the founding members of Konoha and were killed in a single night. What made the other clans think they could do any better? There's the fact Itachi was ordered to do this by the village leaders in secret, was always still loyal to the village, and he was actually just one of two perpetrators of the act, so there are hints there was quite a government cover up at work about this.

In Last Action Hero, the main antagonist is a criminal from a stereotypical movie universe where the good guys always win and the bad guys never kill innocent bystanders while on the rampage. When he finds himself in the real world late one night, he asks a random bystander for some help "testing a theory". When the bystander approaches, he pulls out a gun and shoots him dead, then loudly announces "I've just killed a man!", to which someone angrily hollers back from the windows overhead for him to shut up so that they can sleep. The villain is overjoyed.

Reactions range from "Gee, the moon's getting bigger..." to plans in a Bomb Shop for trying to GET to said moon using bombs.

In Welcome to Night Vale, the titular town's citizens are so Conditioned to Accept Horror that they'll just stand by while hooded figures openly steal babies, and will continue to go about their day as a giant glowing cloud drops hundreds of dead animals on their town — as long as they brought a good umbrella. Played for Drama in episode 46, when Cecil tries to rally Night Vale to help Tamika Flynn's child militia in taking down StrexCorp, but the citizens who showed up only stood there and watched while the children were defeated and captured.

Batman (1989):
The flight from Flugelheim Museum, with the Joker's men in hot pursuit. Never mind the Screaming Woman, the produce truck crash, and the giant, futuristic black car; Batman's appearance in full view of the public (even if it is at night) failing to provoke anything resembling a mass panic is pretty strange, especially since Batman is a cryptid and rumored to be both immortal and a blood-drinker. People were probably starting to become jaded after the courthouse assassination by whiteface mimes and the countless "smiling" deaths (including one that happened on live television). (This is subverted in a deleted scene, which has a homeless girl asking Batman if it is Halloween.)
Similarly, the parade scene. Everyone but Knox, Vale, and the victims themselves seem completely oblivious to all the people dying in the streets. Some of them are still trying to pick up all the money showered by the Joker on the sidewalks (even though the Joker outright announced to them that they were going to die) and have to be frightened off by gunfire.

The Black Omen in Chrono Trigger is a flying obsidian battlestation. When it first appeared in 12,000 B.C, Humanity had just barely managed to survive a cataclysm that brought the world out of an ice age (which its appearance caused), and people knew that the Black Omen was something to fear. However, its purpose was to just wait until the Day of Lavos to happen in 1999 AD, so it did nothing. In 1000 A.D, it had been floating around for generations without doing anything, so there would be no reason to expect it to do anything now. Characters even forecast weather by the way it shines that day.

Played very straight by the NPCs of Sands of Destruction. Your hero Kyrie is a Person of Mass Destruction who was jailed for accidentally killing a beastlord and turning his whole village to sand, and his Love Interest Morte is the Crimson Plague, feared Beastslayer, and supposedly one of the most notorious members of the World Annihilation Front (and definitely carrier of a BFS that no one ever asks her to please leave outside). Most people don't even blink when you walk into town - not just the humans, who might believe you're there to liberate them from feral rule, but even most of the ferals don't seem to care (including if you walk into a feral-only portion of a city; the most reaction you'll get is a casual, "Oh dear, how did you get in here? This is no place for humans," not even a threat to call the guards if you don't leave). When people start noticing that the world may actually be ending, their reactions are pretty low-key, too - a couple say they're scared but still roam around the city as usual, though some question if such a thing is even possible. In the city of Viteaux, however, when Porcus Rex threatens to eat a child for accidentally running into him, the crowd of onlookers definitely feels sorry for the kid, but doesn't dare intervene or even raise an objection. Even your companions point out to Kyrie that this is simply the way things are (luckily for that kid, though, Kyrie is an All-Loving Hero and refuses to accept the status quo).

The citizens of Ponyville, the home of the titular Mane Six in My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic, are jaded to the idea of danger to the point they'd let the Mane Six deal with the problem while going more or less on with their lives.

Two Letters: One of the reasons why Marinette decided to stop being Ladybug is because she grew tired of feeling as though she was the only one actually trying to deal with the akuma. The Mayor completely ignored any suggestions she made about putting preventative measures into place, and people seemed perfectly fine with leaving her to handle everything. Some even let themselves get akumatized over and over again! Oh, and they also combined this with Ungrateful Townsfolk, quick to criticize her for any perceived slip-ups while still expecting her to save the day without any support.

Hunter × Hunter: People get killed off all the time in public, or escorted out of the public to be killed in gruesome manners, and no one ever seems to pay much attention to the corpses on the streets or rampant disappearances, not even reporting them to the police. The Hunters are the only ones shown to take note of frequent deaths and disappearances in some particular area, and most of them display no empathy whatsoever, using said knowledge as clues to further their own ends. Ordinary civilians recount horrific events casually to their co-workers and comrades in a casual manner with little reaction from the people they speak to. The main character, Gon, is one such exception to this rule; any death he sees weighs heavily on him, as long as they haven't proven themselves an irredeemable murderous scumbag to him.

The citizens mentioned in Black Sabbath's "Iron Man" cares little for the eponymous character's And I Must Scream situation. This leads to him losing his mind and the subsequent Roaring Rampage of Revenge when he does get free later.

In Katamari Damacy, the citizens notice that the stars and moon are gone out of the sky, but never notice that rolling balls of... stuff are collecting people, buildings, and land. Son, did you say there's a strange ball collecting stuff? Oh, we have to catch a plane.

Done to both funny and scary effect in Ghostbusters (1984), when Louis is cornered by the Terror Dog outside a restaurant. Everyone ignores his pleas to be let in, then just watches as the dog drags him off before going back to their meals. Ivan Reitman really gets a laugh out of the scene on the DVD commentary, calling it "a New York moment".

In Giraffes On Horseback Salad, when the world starts to become more and more bizarre due to a Reality Warper turning everything surreal, most people — including authority figures — respond with feeble attempts to simply cope as best they can.

The citizens of Hexi village from Eastern Exorcist demonstrates some ridiculous moments of apathy, which figures into the backstory of some of the bosses (who turns out to be tragic monsters because of their past). For instance, the Shura used to be an orphaned boy the villagers simply ignored and left to starve to death on his own, while there is a water demon monster was a rape victim, that the villagers simply sentences to death in order to preserve their village's reputation.

Zigzagged in Oldboy (2003). After the hallway fight scene, Dae-su walks out onto the street covered in blood with nothing more than the occasional odd look from passersby. But when he collapses in the middle of a crosswalk, somebody instantly rushes to his aid (though justified when a short while later it's revealed he's in on the conspiracy.)

Mercenaries:
In Playground of Destruction, the people of North Korea have become so desensitized to the constant shifts in government and the daily assortment of air raids, artillery barrages, mafia killings, and armored offensives that they won't even blink when a heavily armed mercenary rumbles past with a stolen tank.
In Mercenaries 2: World in Flames, most Venezuelan civilians will keep on driving down the road, even when there is a large running gunfight between mercenaries, People's Liberation Army of Venezuela, the Venezuelan Army, the Chinese Army, and the Allied Nations roaring down the road towards them. However, an interesting aversion sometimes occurs when civilian pedestrians in the major cities run screaming in terror from the various bombing runs and gunfights occurring within city limits.

Dungeon Siege II: Broken World hits the "reallllly pessimistic" part right on the head. A lot of the Elves go on pessimistic monologues that would make a goth or a Nietzsche Wannabe proud. There is a good reason for it, though; they no longer have visions and the Familiars easily decimated them.

Played straight and subverted in Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story. Many of the toads in the game show some level of concern over the outbreak of Blorbs and at least notice the disappearance of everyone in Peach's castle, but none of them are actually willing to do anything about it. That said, when things land right in their lap, most of them are plenty willing to scream and panic (i.e. when Bowser grows several stories and has a Godzilla-style throwdown with a Humongous Mecha formed using Peach's castle).

Kick-Ass:
Dave Lizewski states that the reason he became a superhero is because he couldn't stand by as a man got attacked while everyone just watched.
In the fight that makes him a Living Legend, he even indirectly calls a group of them out on this. Judging from their reactions, they didn't quite get it.
On that occasion, Lizewski shouts for a bystander to call 911 while he battles the thugs. Instead the bystander uses his phone to record the fight so he can upload it to Youtube.

Ryomura Village's citizens in Sinjid don't seem to notice or care that Mistwalkers hired by the The Empire stormed their village and kidnapped your allies while you were away. It's even lampshaded; Sinjid questions why the villagers are so calm given the situation they're in, and Midori, who informs you of this matter, states that it's because they're slow.

In the old FPS/RPG Strife, neither the peasants or Order troops pay attention to the heavily armed man wandering around town. Not even when the facilities he enters suffer from gunfights and destruction shortly after. You can also shoot villagers with poison arrows and stab them to death in plain sight of their friends or allies and most of the time they won't even move. However, acolytes will attack you if kill other acolytes.

In Serenity, the citizens of Miranda were exposed to an airborne chemical which was designed to suppress criminal impulse. However, the drug ended up suppressing all impulses, leading to the majority of the population succumbing to fatal levels of apathy as they simply stopped caring about sustaining themselves. What made the mishap worse was the adverse reactions exhibited in a handful of cases. Instead of their impulses being suppressed, their ability to resist impulse was suppressed to the extent where they were driven murderously insane. Long story short, the Alliance created the Reavers. It's this scandal which allows Mal and his crew to come away from the movie with anything resembling a victory.

Martín Fierro: Martin Fierro was this even before all his disgraces happened: At the second song, he says that he didn’t want to vote in the last election (In Argentina, to vote for the Civil Judge was required) because ''He is a gaucho redondo (dumb) and those things do not interest him''. Notice that he never rebels against the authorities, he just runs away from them. This is the case with all the gauchos: in Real Life, they were exterminated by their goverment in only a few years.

In American Psycho, Patrick Bateman regularly confesses to being a Serial Killer, just to see if anyone is listening. They almost never are, and if they are they think he's joking. It is however hinted that he just imagines at least some of the killings. It's also hinted that he really is killing people, but the people around him don't mind, covering it up for their own gain.

In the Doug Christmas Episode, this is taken to brutal extremes when Porkchop is treated as a mad dog due to accidentally hurting Bebe while getting her away from thin ice and in danger of being put to sleep. When Doug tries to get up a petition to save him, only Mr. Dink was willing to sign; everyone else refused to get involved in the mess or thought that Christmas wasn't the time to deal with such depressing things. It's not until Doug makes a stirring speech at Porkchop's trial that everyone agrees to give Porkchop a fair shake and hear his side of things.

Dragon Ball Z was particularly guilty of this trope, especially during the Buu Saga. When Goku and Vegeta attempted to get the Earth to donate energy to the Spirit Bomb, the people (besides their friends and family) outright refused, even mocking them. Mr. Satan was legitimately angered at this, as the planet was giving the middle finger at their one and only chance to destroy Majin Buu once and for all, and ended up calling them out for it. Ironically, it's him calling them out that got them to do it. Many people said (though possibly only the dub) that it might have just been some trick by Buu, or something to that effect. It was the fact that Mr. Satan is the most famous heroic champion fighter on earth (since the Z warriors all shun fame and let him take credit for the Cell Games) that they got on board... Though oddly nobody questioned if his voice was a trick, probably because the one thing Mr. Satan shares with his namesake other than the name is epic bullshitting.

When the Maquis protested that their colonies were given to the Cardassians without their consent, rebelling against Cardassian rule, they were denounced as terrorists, rounded up and imprisoned as enemies of the state. As shown in the Star Trek: Voyager episode "Non Sequitur", even talking to a known member of the Maquis and looking up certain information on a public database is enough to get someone slapped with an ankle bracelet.

The Mental Series, at least in the last game, Murder Most Foul. The citizens don't really seem to care about your presence, with them only telling you "Watch it FREAK!" if you run into them. This wouldn't be so bad, if the instructions didn't establish the three as the most wanted criminals in the country. They still don't react when Walter starts running them over with a van.

Re:CREATORS: Mamika's blasts typically subvert this since people react appropriately to the equivalent of a little girl firing bombs in a densely populated area. Then it gets double subverted when she uses her Taking You with Me attack on Altair, which has such a large blast radius (and is even visible from a far distance) a good potrion of town should be effected— yet neither the townsfolk or the news ever comment on it.

In Pokémon X and Y, two people in the town's Pokémon Center do notice that an enormous crystalline weapon has risen from the ground in the middle of Geosenge Town, destroying several houses in the process, and that Team Flare has seized control of their town. On the other hand, another guy in the Pokémon Center is still too busy talking about the TM he gave you earlier to notice anything unusual. But what really takes the cake is Phil the Photo Guy, as you can still call him to take your picture in the middle of all this, and he doesn't acknowledge any of what's going on. When you call him up, he just goes about his business like usual. Even after the crisis is averted, nobody really does anything to fix the damage done around Geosenge's north end, and everyone in town seems relatively unphased by the ordeal.

Space 1889: Mostly averted at least with humans, this was the time of plenty of grass root movements and charity movements. In some adventures player characters are sometimes expected to intervene in matters that does not directly involve them for no reason than the goodness of their hearts. Most canal Martians are surprisingly resigned to the ineffectiveness of their rulers and the slow dying of their planet, though.

City of Heroes:
City of Villains often plays this straight. Civilians often completely ignore the antics of supervillains and various groups. Gameplay wise, normal civilians are invulnerable, and since random superpowered public battles go on all the time ... by this point, it's little more than street theater for them.
In City of Heroes, though, pedestrians who get too close to enemies often cringe and run back the way they came.
The apathy is even more apparent if one tries to talk to the civilians. Rogue Islanders are rather dismissive of supervillainy, to the point of being Deadpan Snarkers! ("Let me guess. You're the Dark Something or Other.")
Prime Example of this: During a Deadly Apocalypse special event (which is heralded by thick fog, dramatic music, and the sudden appearance of ominous banners throughout the zone), Paragon Citizens will run for cover. Islanders? Don't even react.

Gremlins 2: The New Batch: Murray Fetterman gets attacked by a Bat-Gremlin (some Applied Phlebotinum was used to let it survive daylight) in the middle of a busy street. A few people stop to watch, but that's about it. Ironically, they feel more sympathy towards the monster than the man himself.

Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines' resident pawn shop manager Trip will sell the player character highly illegal weapons with offhand comments about the dreary state of Santa Monica, a warning not to do anything that could be traced back to him, and absolutely no further interest. That he has connections in local law enforcement and both opposing Vampire factions makes it highly likely that he has some inkling of the supernatural nastiness going on in town, but prefers the safety of the sidelines.

The example in Psycho-Pass above may very well have been based on a real incident that occurred in Osaka in 2012 when a madman stabbed two people to death on a busy street. One of the victims was a music producer from nitro+, which is also the same company that Psycho-Pass's writer works for.
