Not Helping Your Case	comment	A character is widely distrusted, or maybe even actively disliked, by everyone else in the plot. Even though they're always innocent, this person is blamed for things that they didn't do and is often the first suspect when something bad does happen. Unfortunately, rather than make an effort to convince people of their innocence and good intentions, the character rebels and acts out, sometimes feeling they have nothing to lose by doing so; maybe even committing an actual crime in the process. When people discover the crime, that confirms their suspicions and "proves" to them that, yes, this person was really that bad all along. For added ironic flavor, the newly-criminal character may be busted just as the others come around and start to believe their original claim â€” giving the cynic of the group something to snark about â€” "Well, I guess you're right, chumps, they really aren't a thief... they're just a graverobber." Compare I Resemble That Remark!, though it can go hand-in-hand with this trope. Somewhat related are You Have to Believe Me! (a character makes bizarre statements in a hysterical tone), Digging Yourself Deeper (the character tries to sound less creepy by justifying the original creepy remark), Revealing Cover Up (the character attempts to cover up their bad deed only to draw more attention to it), Then Let Me Be Evil (the character decides to live down to people's low expectations) and Sticky Fingers (habitual petty theft puts the character under a constant aura of suspicion). Contrast with Wrongful Accusation Insurance, where the character is not implicated for crimes committed while trying to clear their name. The tropes may overlap, though, if the character is called out for their crimes as they happen, yet unceremoniously pardoned after their name is cleared. Not to be confused with Don't Shoot the Message. For moments where someone or something else doesn't help your case, see Contrived Coincidence and Instantly Proven Wrong. Can go with Godwin's Law of Facial Hair, where the toothbrush mustache is associated with Hitler and evil authoritarians.

Not Helping Your Case / int_117116ef	comment	The Penguins of Madagascar: In one episode, a peanut-deprived Burt the Elephant believes Julian is a peanut and chases after him. Maurice points out that Julian's head doesn't even look like a peanut, only for an insulted Julian to comment that his head is peanut-shaped, at which point Burt shoves him down his trunk. Also in the episode, when Mort goes crazy with Skipper and Private trying to calm him down, Private tries to assure him they weren't going to hurt him... only for Skipper to state he did authorize force.

Highlights include taking the detective who tried to falsely pin a rape on him hostage and kidnapping his kids from foster care when the family court process was taking longer than they'd hoped.

Not Helping Your Case / int_171174dc	comment	The Zeta Project: Zee is accused of being re-programmed by a terrorist, and no matter what he does the FBI always make it out to be a crime. During most of the series, he is pursuing his creator so he can convince them that he's good, but his actions are taken as an assassination attempt when he accidentally set off the cryogenic chamber, almost killing him. The poor guy just can't win. When Agent Bennett tries to convince his superiors in the second season he hasn't gone insane on this mission, the fact one of his own Agents left the NSA over his behavior is pointed out. He counters he hasn't had a bad call on his record other than Gotham, which is not a good incident to bring up since he nearly got part of the city blown up during that incident. Agent West facepalms audibly in the background. When Agent West is right about where Zeta is at one point, he points out the other times he found Zeta... which everyone knows were either accidents or Agent Lee doing the legwork. Agent Lee goes back and forth: initially she gets this when attempting to explain Zeta isn't evil, but she tries that exactly once and then turn to the much more probable and equally true objection to her superiors that Bennett is becoming unstable. When she feels it isn't taken seriously, she quits, an act extreme enough to prompt investigation into Bennett's behavior. But she's unable to get Zeta's case heard afterwards when she's viewed as a Mood-Swinger who turned on her boss, and any response she has damaged her case. Zeta's main character witness for the entire series is a runaway minor who has a criminal record. The show lives and breathes this trope.

Not Helping Your Case / int_1bf83ffb	comment	Frankenstein's Monster. Seriously, there's a bit in the book where a kid insists that the monster is an ogre who wants to kill him. The monster denies this and then kills the kid for not listening (or arguably because the kid brought up being related to Frankenstein, which was something of a Berserk Button). The monster is trying to abduct him at the time, so that would be an extra dose of really not helping his case.

In one episode, House calmly and politely pleads his case to the transplant board as to why his patient should receive a heart transplant, but the board turns him down on account of the patient's age. Figuring he has nothing to lose, House then angrily accuses the board of ageism, pointing out that many of its members would be ineligible by their own criteria.

He tries to go about this by repeatedly emphasizing that he is not attracted to any of these children and even trying to have a song written called "Do Not Diddle Kids." The rest of the gang correctly point out that his repeated emphasis of this is just going to make people suspicious.

Not Helping Your Case / int_2e3e7ac2	comment	Project Cadmus in Justice League does have a genuine point about what the Justice League could do if they went rogue... but they'd have a much easier time convincing people they're the good guys if their anti-superhero projects didn't go rogue and become villains the League needed to take down every other week. And taking funding from Lex Luthor of all people just made matters worse. Yeah, the Justice League might be a threat, but Cadmus's failures most definitely are threats. Here's the list of problems Cadmus directly caused: They created a cloned team of heroes called the Ultimen, who ultimately went rogue and attacked Cadmus on learning that they were unstable and expendable. They created an evil Supergirl clone called Galatea, and used her to assassinate U.S. citizens who were a threat to them, before she (wait for it) went rogue. Doomsday was an anti-Superman weapon. He did what he was conditioned to do... while Superman was in the middle of trying to save an island from a volcanic eruption. After the aforementioned Doomsday escape, General Eiling tries to take out both Doomsday and Superman by firing a kryptonite-tipped nuclear missile at said island. Even Waller calls him out on this. They sent Task Force X/ the Suicide Squad to steal the Annihilator magical armor (created by Hephaestus for Ares as a WMD). This succeeds with only one casualty... and by the next episode, Felix Faust has tricked them, stolen the armor, and headed off to get revenge on Hades. So much for that. After the Atom manages to de-activate the Dark Heart, Cadmus took the remains, which Atom lampshades as a terrible idea. It manages to prove an even worse idea, when Lex Luthor and Braniac are able to use it to become nigh-invincible. Speaking of General Eiling, after Cadmus is shut down he decides to inject himself with a Super Serum and show himself as the ultimate deterant against Superman and the other super-powered members of the Justice League. Not only does he attack a parade and put numerous civilians in danger, he spent his time fighting Badass Normals that fought to protect the people from him, which one kid calls him out on. To Eiling's credit, he acknowledges the hypocrisy and leaves (claiming they'll want him back eventually; he never returned on the show, though).

Not Helping Your Case / int_30a5ebfd	comment	The Uchiha Clan's downfall in Naruto was mostly due to a big case of this. After Kurama's rampage at the beginning of the series there were suspicions that the Uchihas were responsible for it (and as it turned out, it was an Uchiha behind it, albeit one believed long dead). When it became clear that nobody in Konoha trusted the Uchihas, rather than proving them wrong, they plan to stage a coup to take over the village by force. Naturally, this ensured that the higher-ups would have the groundwork to order Itachi to kill them off, since their reaction pretty much screamed "guilty" all over.

One member, unbeknownst to the others, is descended from a murderer. Feeling it's unfair to hold someone else's crimes against him, he decides the solution is to make sure no one ever realizes it was his ancestor who committed the crime, by going back in time and perpetuating the frame job that keeps an innocent person in prison. He does this with more murder.

Not Helping Your Case / int_3b34143f	comment	Harry Potter: Happens in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban with Sirius Black: He is condemned for the horrible death of one Peter Pettigrew, former close friend, in front of many witnesses; having a role in the deaths of the parents of his godson Harry Potter at the hands of Voldemort, conspiracy in the attempt against the life of the mentioned protagonist, treason and other minutiae. It definitely does not help that he is found maniacally laughing at the scene of the crime, survives a punishment in Azkaban that no sane person should and, succeeding an escape from a prison that was previously thought inescapable, goes on stalking his godson and entering Hogwarts with murderous intentions. Oh, and he let slip things like "could just as well have killed 'em myself" from time to time. As it turns out he went hysterical from the deaths of his friends the Potters thanks to treasonous Peter "Wormtail" Pettigrew (whom Sirius himself recommended as the ideal Secret-Keeper), tried to avenge them confronting the latter, who managed to frame Sirius for his own (faked) death, was convicted and imprisoned without fair trial, went into an Heroic BSoD so epic it bordered Despair Event Horizon and made the Dementors' powers lose their effect on him, and was in Hogwarts purely to chase Wormtail. During Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Minister Scrimgeour, when trying to talk Harry into becoming the Ministry's poster boy, mentions that Umbridge is still working at the Ministry, and she actually said that Harry wanted to be an Auror, in an attempt to bribe him. Harry bristles and shows the Minister the "I must not tell lies" scar that he received from his various detentions with Umbridge. Harry Potter himself and other characters of the cast will fall into the wrong side of this trope from time to time. Take for instance Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets where he is accused of being the Heir of Slytherin, the fact he is caught being near several crime scenes and is heard speaking the snake-tongue Parcelmouth really doesn't help despite the fact he was trying to do good. Snape can hardly do anything without looking as suspicious and unlikable as he can; he practically goes out of his way to make the heroes suspect he's a bad guy in nearly every book. He's also quite resentful of the fact that anyone would suspect that he, a former Death Eater, might be a Death Eater. This turns out to be part of his Zero-Approval Gambit, allowing him to function as The Mole within Voldemort's inner circle. In a meta-sense, Slytherin House is the go-to house for villains and jerks, breeding Death Eaters like nobody's business. The first Slytherin character to not be a colossal asshat is Horace Slughorn, who isn't ambitious for himself but instead sets up connections between students with strong potential (blatantly favoring them and ignoring others). In the seventh year, not one Slytherin is part of the resistance against the Death Eaters in the school, with only later Word of God clarifying that some of the later reinforcements were Slytherins. It takes until Cursed Child for 100% heroic Slytherins to show up (Malfoy and Harry's sons). The textbook Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them mentions that Uric the Oddball subjected himself to three months of Fwooper song so he could prove that it did not cause insanity. He then showed up to the next Wizards' Council meeting naked save for a dead badger on his head, thus convincing nobody. One could also make the case that voluntarily pulling a stunt like that calls the results into question on account of the fact you'd have to have a pretty tenuous grasp on sanity to think it was a good idea in the first place.

Start with stealing the artifacts to unleash the horrible power of Alchemy on the world, continue with repeated kidnappings and thefts in the pursuit of unleashing said horrible power, add in attempted murder of a transformed girl, murder of innocent scholars (and less-innocent guards) between Tolbi and Lalivero, murder of enslaved workers at Babi's Lighthouse, and is it any wonder Isaac & Co. decided lethal force was necessary to stop them? Did we mention said murder of the transformed girl will be successful if Issac doesn't save her? Then The Lost Age reveals that without the power of Alchemy the world will decay to nothing... and in comes the Mars Clan's second set of champions, led by a brute who openly believes Prox will Take Over the World and who will do everything in his power to make that happen, including double-crossing Felix & Co. who are working for him to save the world (and their parents).

It's either him or Jean's boyfriend, so he had to really do a number to convince her. "I'm not an evil man. Yes, I've done evil things, but I'm just an ordinary human being like you are". And what is an ordinary man that does evil things... but an evil man? Yes, Jean chose Scott. A crossover with Ultimate Spider-Man has Jean swap Logan and Peter's minds as punishment for the former's constant harassment. After the whole debacle is resolved, Peter gives the X-Men a What the Hell, Hero? speech about how antics like this being a good reason for people to hate mutants. The Ultimates Captain America wakes up from a forty-year nap in an iceberg, surrounded by armed soldiers, with Doctor Banner saying he's among friends. Not surprising then that Cap believes it's all a Nazi scheme, and starts punching his way out. Thor claims he's the actual god of thunder, and Loki's screwing with everyone's perceptions to make him look like a crazy person. Of course, he's saying stuff like "you have to believe me", and no-one can actually see Loki (just that nice Doctor Golmen who insists Thor is his mentally ill brother.)

Jar Jar decides to reassure the Chancellor that PadmÃ© has nothing to worry about, only to trip over Threepio's leg and hit a button that causes the ship to briefly go out of control. Ahsoka does a lengthy run of this during The Wrong Jedi arc. After being accused of planning a terrorist bombing, she breaks out of prison the first chance she gets, refuses Anakin's pleas that she trust in the Jedi Council to resolve the false charges against her (so she can prove her innocence), teams up with a Separatist war criminal (as an Enemy Mine while both are hunted by the Republic), and is caught red handed with the bombs used in the attack (because she tracked down the real bomber's hideout). Making matters worse, when taken to give her account of events to the Jedi Council, she contradicts herself several times because she's trying to guess what really happened, causing the Council to believe she's getting caught in a lie.

Not Helping Your Case / int_5540bb6c	comment	Machine Head released the standalone single "Do or Die" in October of 2019, which was almost instantly criticized for its lyrics, and the general opinion was that it was petty and immature and made Robb Flynn look incredibly thin-skinned and unable to accept that people sometimes say unflattering things and have strong negative opinions about polarizing releases (which Catharsis, their 2018 full-length, absolutely was). Flynn, not content to release the song and then let it be, then took to Instagram several days later to call out the people who called him out over the song, where he posted yet another angry rant that included several homophobic and misogynistic insults and made even the fans who didn't turn against "Do or Die" hold their heads. He also repeatedly took shots at Dope (as comparisons between the choruses to "Do or Die" and Dope's own "Die MF Die" had been made), who proceeded to make Flynn look like even more of an idiot when frontman Edsel Dope publicly responded to Flynn in a manner that was, all things considered, extremely gracious and tactful, as he stated that he was a fan of Machine Head and respected Flynn's musical career, politely stated that he had absolutely no idea what his problem with him or Dope was, and proceeded to pull up Dope and Machine Head's streaming stats (as Flynn had openly called Dope nobodies) to show that Dope actually had more streaming listeners. The end result was that Flynn looked like even more of a raging manchild who couldn't handle any sort of negative fan or critical reception, while the band he attempted to start a fight with (clearly hoping for an ugly public spat) put him in his place without a single unkind word.

In order to prove that he's innocent of murdering his best friend, who was one of the two guys who knew he was undercover, he goes out and slaughters his way through what seems like half the rank-and-file of the New York Mafia. Most of those were probably self-defence, but still not going to look good if and when he can touch base with his superiors, to say nothing of the Enemy Mine arrangement he made with someone rather high-ranking in the local Russian mob. After Act 3 or thereabouts the trope is averted by way of Motive Decay (and probably Sanity Slippage); Max isn't interested in clearing his name anymore, he just wants revenge. He gets both, aided and abetted by some really impressive Hero Insurance.

After he was mistaken for Gizmoduck, things started to get out of hand, so he went on live TV to tell everyone he wasn't Gizmoduck; but accidentally said the command word for Felton's armor, while his mother, who was keeping it in her trailer, was watching the broadcast. After the armor flew all the way across town and affixed itself to Launchpad in the middle of his denial, it kind of spoiled it. (Fortunately - or unfortunately, depending on your point of view - people realized he wasn't Gizmoduck after he wrecked half the city in a vain attempt to control the suit.)

But Cromwell also uses his shadowy reputation and physically imposing presence whenever it would advance his agenda, and it advances his agenda often. Cromwell is appalled when Wriothesley suggests that Cromwell used Anne Boleyn's trial as a means of revenge for Cardinal Wolsey's death and wonders if he might one day go after Henry himself. Cromwell is genuinely loyal to Henry (if irritated whenever the subject comes up because Henry acts like he had nothing to do with it) but since he did use Anne's downfall to get revenge, it's not a wholly unreasonable line of thought.

(Lister would have helped, but he was in stasis at the time, and only Holly was able to, somehow, keep the ship running for three million years.) Rimmer, being somewhat of an egotist, ends up falling straight into this one by objecting to his own defense (which Kryten points out as further evidence).

Not Helping Your Case / int_629cd094	comment	Dragon Age: Origins: Throughout the main storyline, Loghain insists that he didn't deliberately betray King Cailan at the battle of Ostagar, and that his withdrawal was the only sound tactical choice. The fandom continues to dispute whether or not this is truenote On the one hand he had repeatedly tried to convince the king not to be on the front line for this very reason and the tactical situation really had gone to hell; on the other he had numerous personal and political reasons to prevent the king's survival, and even at the most pessimistic view of the situation his withdrawal made the difference between a defeat and a massacre.. However, two of the prisoners Locked in the Dungeon and tortured in his close ally's estate are a soldier who survived Ostagar and the friend of another (missing, likely dead) survivor who claimed Loghain retreated while there was still hope for the king. This revelation works against him at the Landsmeet, especially since the latter was a member of the nobility. Even if he didn't betray Cailan, suppression of the witnesses tends to suggest otherwise (his cover story was that the Wardens betrayed the king by leading him into a hopeless charge, which is definitely a lie). Which leads to even more fandom dispute as to whether Loghain knew what his ally was doing in that regard... Even worse, another prisoner is a templar who was responsible of capturing Jowan, the Blood Mage that Loghain hired to poison one of his biggest opposers. This revelation not only works in favor of the claims that he used a blood mage to kill someone, but also put both the templar's sister (a noblewoman) and the representative of the local religion against him. In Dragon Age: Origins â€“ Awakening, your introduction with Nathaniel Howe (son of Rendon Howe from Origins) has you encountering him in a jail cell after he infiltrated your new base to try and assassinate you. It took four Wardens to subdue him. He is openly disdainful of you, the Grey Wardens, the reigning monarch and the other noble families for the crime of...opposing his psychotic backstabbing rat bastard of a father. If asked what he will do if released, he openly admits he will probably come back and try to kill you again. If you tell him this trope, he'll tell you that he could lie if you wanted. It's then up to the player to either execute him, let him go or conscript him into the Wardens where he ultimately proves to be a better man than his dad, after being hit a few times with the cluebat.

Not Helping Your Case / int_6a8ce345	comment	Avatar: The Last Airbender: The first series: You know, Zuko, telling the Gaang about that assassin you sent after them and accidentally attacking Toph really isn't going to convince them that you now want to join them. (At least he's smart enough to realize this.) In an earlier episode, the gang force their way into the Earth King's palace, leaving a trail of unconscious guards and wrecked masonry behind them, and then try to convince the King that they're on his side. The King is understandably not impressed: A minor case, but when trying to expose Iroh and Zuko, Jet's ranting does not help his case, especially since it makes him a bit incoherent. The Legend of Korra: Sheltered Country Mouse Avatar Korra tends to stumble into this. In "Welcome to Republic City" When she discovers and tries to argue against an Equalist protestor decrying benders as an oppressive establishment, he easily manipulates her confrontational attitude to make her look like the bad guy in front of a large audience of listeners. Later in the same episode, she's incredulous when police insist she be arrested for causing property damage during her well-meant Curb-Stomp Battle of a trio of protection racket enforcers. Instead of coming along quietly to explain her presumption of Hero Insurance, she flees the police, fighting them as she bolts, forcing them to use an Airship to bring her in, which earns the enmity of their chief. Matters worsen in "The Revelation" when, desperate to find a friend kidnapped by Equalists, she shakes down the same protester for information in public, smashing his megaphone, flipping his table and hoisting him by the shirt, and must again flee the police when the protester wails (quite rightly) that he's being oppressed. Played for laughs with Varrick when he tries to defend himself, stating that he's helped each of Team Avatar in his own way. He points out how he warned Korra of Unalaq, made Bolin a film star, helped Asami rebuild her company and had Mako framed and thrown in prison. He takes a moment to realize that the last one was bad. And Zuko does it again at the beginning of the third season, as he's taking the elevator to visit a combustionbender's prison, reminiscing about the time he'd hired a combustionbender to kill the Avatar... in the company of Korra's cousins, who'd tried to kill her last season, and Korra's father.

His weapons, strong antiauthority bent, and general cockiness don't help. Though when he risks his life to seal a compartment and stop decompression, people relax a little more. He'd been there in the first place to steal the ship, but got beaten to the punch.

Not Helping Your Case / int_6c6852c8	comment	In Yakuza 4, Dirty Cop Tanimura has garnered an unflattering reputation around town as a parasite who uses threats and extortion for ill-gotten gains. While this isn't entirely unfounded, he makes a point to only target predatory businesses, and uses the funds to help support the city's community of illegal immigrants. Given how he'll often gripe about being broke, he doesn't even seem to keep any of the cash for himself. However, he's too lazy to actually explain this when he's confronted over his actions, something that his friend grills him for once the misunderstanding is cleaned up.

Midway through the episode, he asks, "Why does everyone think I'm crazy?!" pauses for a moment, then adds, "It's because I'm sorta acting that way, aren't I?" "1969": The team accidentally goes back in time, and is confronted by guards demanding (in Russian) to know if they're Soviet spies. Without even thinking about it, Omniglot Daniel replies "Nyet!" a split second before obviously realizing what a terrible idea that was.

Not Helping Your Case / int_72262aee	comment	The first series: You know, Zuko, telling the Gaang about that assassin you sent after them and accidentally attacking Toph really isn't going to convince them that you now want to join them. (At least he's smart enough to realize this.) In an earlier episode, the gang force their way into the Earth King's palace, leaving a trail of unconscious guards and wrecked masonry behind them, and then try to convince the King that they're on his side. The King is understandably not impressed: A minor case, but when trying to expose Iroh and Zuko, Jet's ranting does not help his case, especially since it makes him a bit incoherent.

Then he says they don't do that "any more". Tali's loyalty mission involves her being accused of smuggling active geth onto the quarian fleet. If you undertake this mission after completing the Derelict Reaper mission, you can bring along your geth squadmate Legion onto the quarian fleet while trying to "help" prove her innocence. You actually have to pass a Charm/Intimidate check to allow Legion to remain in your squad for the duration of the mission. Legion insists that the geth have no ill-intentions towards organics and just want to be left alone. The fact that the geth exterminated the quarians down to single-digit millions, long after they would have been broken as a military power, attempted to destroy (mostly successfully) every ship that entered geth space, which included diplomatic envoys, and let their heretic faction cut swaths of destruction across organic space, makes this rather difficult to take at face value.

He then goes into a mad, spittle-filled rant about how he'll kill the whole court, their loved ones, and their housepets if he's convicted. He then immediately calms down and returns to his seat, while the judge reconsiders the acquittal he was planning to announce, and Steve considers giving up as an attorney.

She keeps saying that she "only told the truth." Unfortunately, Captain Freeman and the rest of the crew take this almost as a confession because to them, the truth is that the ship gets into absurd misadventures that make them look like a joke when taken out of context. In reality, Mariner's "truth" was that the Cerritos is a great ship and it was everyone else who casually discussed all the embarrassing stuff without realizing it. By the time the report airs and shows them how wrong they were, Mariner has been transferred to the worst post in Starfleet and resigned because of it.

Not Helping Your Case / int_9d47a2a2	comment	A Song of Ice and Fire: Tyrion Lannister does this a lot, and is strange in that he works it to his advantage. As an example, when he assumed a position of authority in a city where everyone hated him and assumed he was a monster because of his unfortunate appearance, he used this as an excuse to bring along an entourage composed of vicious mountain barbarians who carry human body parts as trophies. This assisted immensely with his political goals. In the third book, he's accused of murdering his nephew, unfairly imprisoned, and given a sham trial; and all this is happening shortly after he fought in an incredibly vicious battle during which he received a horrible injury from which he is still recovering. He snaps, and no one could blame him. And he still manages to work this to a minor advantage; convinced he's getting a sham trial, he demands trial by combat. He selects a member of the Martells as his representative; the Martells deeply hate the Lannisters and are longtime rivals of their recent political allies the Tyrells. If he wins the trial, the Tyrells will be pissed that the alleged murderer of their daughter's fiance got away (And, although Tyrion doesn't know it, wary that Tywin might find out they actually killed Joffrey); if he loses the trial, the Martells will be pissed that their son died for him. It's one final "screw you" to his family. In general, Jaime Lannister and Tyrion Lannister tend to use this trope in a "Then Let Me Be Evil" kind of way. They're constrained by bigotry (Tyrion) or unfair judgments (Jaime) and are unable to escape them despite their best efforts, so they tend to stop giving their "best" efforts and instead use an evil reputation to get their way. One of the many things that Jaime and Tyrion Lannister share is a total and crippling inability to keep their big mouths shut when a clever remark occurs to them, no matter how many weapons are pointed at their heads at the time, or how testy the people holding them are. That tendency does more to nearly get them killed over the course of the series than all the Stark soldiers combined.

After the whole debacle is resolved, Peter gives the X-Men a What the Hell, Hero? speech about how antics like this being a good reason for people to hate mutants.

They never hesitate to denounce the "giorgio" (as they call non-Vistani) as small-minded, cruel, superstitious and hostile... but at the same time they also do believe it's fine to abuse and exploit the giorgio as they see fit. Making things worse is there's an entire tribe of Vistani, the Corvara, who have decided that since they're not as good at any of the other things that the other Vistani tribe specialize in, then they'd specialize in theft, con-artistry, black marketeering and peddling drugs. The Vistani regarding their half-human ("giogoto") and half-elven ("giamarga") offspring as so tainted that they cannot be permitted to live amongst "pure" Vistani certainly doesn't do them any favors either.

The first thing he does is to demand the general of the Armies of the Vale to escort him immediately back to the Eyrie. Yup, you are innocent alright. In the chapter "Winterfell", neither Sansa nor Daenerys are at their diplomatic best: When Sansa asks how they are going to feed Daenerys's armies and finishes by saying, "What do dragons eat anyway?", Daenerys responds that her dragons can eat whatever they want. Not the best thing to say to a room full of vassals who already distrust Targaryens due to the acts of Daenerys's father. And Sansa criticizing the arrival of Daenerys and her armies â€” the forces helping to fight a literal Zombie Apocalypse so the North and realm can live to see another day â€” isn't exactly a diplomatic course of action either, especially when Sansa wants Northern independence from Daenerys if they should survive. This only gives Daenerys a reason to distrust Sansa in turn.

One of the villains out and out ask why some of the heroes would want to stop them, particularly given that these protagonists come from CrapsackWorlds. She actually has a point: had she not spent the whole game merging the worst of the worst entities from various franchises with everyone else's universe, double-crossing people who had agreed to help her, and generally trying to kill the heroes while in league with some of their multiverse's worst scum, it's possible that some of the heroes might have even agreed with it.

The fact that she is reluctant to explain what is going on and runs away whenever questioned about her intentions doesn't help much. During the second trial, Hiyoko becomes the main suspect, due to several damning clues - including her footprints at the scene of the crime. Instead of telling the truth, (that she was lured there and drugged by the killer so she would leave her footprints as she left in order to frame her for the murder), she compulsively denies the accusations made against her with lies and changes her version of story multiple times. The same thing happens in the first trial to Fuyuhiko, the only person who didn't attend the party in which the murder took place, except instead of compulsive lying, he makes angry death threats. Surprisingly enough, he's only briefly considered a suspect, since Chiaki knew where he was at the time of the murder, and the circumstances of the murder meant he couldn't have done it.

If anything, she makes herself even more suspicious. On the other hand, Apple Bloom says that Zecora told her that whenever she came to town, all the stores "mysteriously closed", implying she didn't know why the ponies hid whenever she came to town and may not have had any idea they thought she was a witch. "Luna Eclipsed": This is a big part of the plot. Princess Luna returns after a thousand-year banishment as the evil Nightmare Moon in an attempt to reform her public image. Unfortunately, between her spooky Big Entrance, her booming voice, and her hair-trigger temper, it's hard for her to convince anyone that she really isn't an evil villainess. And Pinkie Pie's screaming and running don't help either. Especially since nobody else realizes that Pinkie isn't actually scared. Pinkie is more at fault than Luna, seeing as Luna soon realizes her theatrics aren't necessary, and actually starts making progress... only to be repeatedly foiled in her efforts by Pinkie causing a scene. To the understandable frustration of Twilight, who is bending over backwards to help Luna in the first place. "Rarity Investigates" has an instance where Rainbow Dash has been accused of engineering a situation where one of the Wonderbolts had to leave, so that she would be picked as the top reserve to replace them in an air show. When asked what she was doing the night before, she says that she was dreaming of being in the show with a huge expression of wistful happiness on her face, immediately solidifying her apparent motive in the eyes of her accusers. "No Second Prances": Trixie accidentally lets it slip that she only became friends with Starlight to get back at Twilight. She then says she does consider Starlight a friend, but then digs herself even deeper when she says that getting back at Twilight was "Just a bonus." "Shadow Play": While the Pillars were wrong to jump to conclusions about Stygian's motives, the fact that he outright stole their artifacts of power and and was using them in an ominous-looking spell without explaining why he's doing it when they confronted him did not help Stygian look innocent at all. "School Daze" has racist jerk Chancellor Neighsay close the School of Friendship on grounds that the "non-pony" students are a threat to the pony students. While Twilight Sparkle and said students are desperately trying to reopen the school and prove him wrong, the parents of said non-pony students show up full-cocked and threatening world war because the students have vanished. It's a good thing Twilight was able to take a third option and just open the school without Neighsay's approval, as the griffons, yaks, and dragons really didn't make things easy for her.

When he turns out to be a clone, Order 66 survivor Kanan is automatically mistrustful of him and the other two clones he lives with. The fact that one of them, Wolffe, is The Paranoiac and sells out the crew to the Empire doesn't help matters.

Lyste ignores the graffiti and flatly states it's a piece of the wall. Thrawn next asks Agent Kallus, who gives an informed and correct answer. Lyste clenches his fist in the background when he realizes he screwed up. The Mole, Kallus, orders a disguised Kanan and Ezra into a lift with him under the pretense of coming with him to check the perimeter. As soon as the elevator door closes, he says "Don't move, rebels," in an Implied Death Threat tone, which causes Kanan and Ezra to beat him up and pin him before he can explain he's on their side.

Not only do they fail to escape as the guard catches up with them, but this act also convinces him that the Heffleys intentionally stole the other family's clothing to use for themselves and attempted to flee in order to avoid getting caught, and he refuses to listen to any further explanations as he makes them give back the clothing and kicks them out of the resort.

Not Helping Your Case / int_d461f757	comment	Deconstructed in a remade Battlestar Galactica episode: After the Cylons are removed from a planet on which they'd rule the humans, a secret commission of almost Kangaroo Court trials ensues, and a man is taken as collaborating with the Cylons. He's asked to defend himself, but apparently sickened by the whole charade, he does not and almost gets himself Thrown Out the Airlock. It's only a snarly remark of one who wants to see him dead that reveals the guy to have been a The Mole, prompting the others to realise their mistake.

Not surprising then that Cap believes it's all a Nazi scheme, and starts punching his way out. Thor claims he's the actual god of thunder, and Loki's screwing with everyone's perceptions to make him look like a crazy person. Of course, he's saying stuff like "you have to believe me", and no-one can actually see Loki (just that nice Doctor Golmen who insists Thor is his mentally ill brother.)

She doesn't help her case at all when she calls in a truckload of rock-throwing goons.

Of course, she's telling the truth, as she can see their future corpses; the reason they don't die is because she goes out of her way to prevent it after the warning is ignored. Both Akira and Miho point out that Satsuki would probably have a better reputation if she at least skipped the attempted warnings and simply focused on saving people. Granted, even that would have its issues, as some of her more reckless rescue methods come across as though she's trying to kill people herself.

Not Helping Your Case / int_db96ded4	comment	The Legend of Korra: Sheltered Country Mouse Avatar Korra tends to stumble into this. In "Welcome to Republic City" When she discovers and tries to argue against an Equalist protestor decrying benders as an oppressive establishment, he easily manipulates her confrontational attitude to make her look like the bad guy in front of a large audience of listeners. Later in the same episode, she's incredulous when police insist she be arrested for causing property damage during her well-meant Curb-Stomp Battle of a trio of protection racket enforcers. Instead of coming along quietly to explain her presumption of Hero Insurance, she flees the police, fighting them as she bolts, forcing them to use an Airship to bring her in, which earns the enmity of their chief. Matters worsen in "The Revelation" when, desperate to find a friend kidnapped by Equalists, she shakes down the same protester for information in public, smashing his megaphone, flipping his table and hoisting him by the shirt, and must again flee the police when the protester wails (quite rightly) that he's being oppressed. Played for laughs with Varrick when he tries to defend himself, stating that he's helped each of Team Avatar in his own way. He points out how he warned Korra of Unalaq, made Bolin a film star, helped Asami rebuild her company and had Mako framed and thrown in prison. He takes a moment to realize that the last one was bad. And Zuko does it again at the beginning of the third season, as he's taking the elevator to visit a combustionbender's prison, reminiscing about the time he'd hired a combustionbender to kill the Avatar... in the company of Korra's cousins, who'd tried to kill her last season, and Korra's father.

Not Helping Your Case / int_dccfc4b8	comment	Happens in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban with Sirius Black: He is condemned for the horrible death of one Peter Pettigrew, former close friend, in front of many witnesses; having a role in the deaths of the parents of his godson Harry Potter at the hands of Voldemort, conspiracy in the attempt against the life of the mentioned protagonist, treason and other minutiae. It definitely does not help that he is found maniacally laughing at the scene of the crime, survives a punishment in Azkaban that no sane person should and, succeeding an escape from a prison that was previously thought inescapable, goes on stalking his godson and entering Hogwarts with murderous intentions. Oh, and he let slip things like "could just as well have killed 'em myself" from time to time. As it turns out he went hysterical from the deaths of his friends the Potters thanks to treasonous Peter "Wormtail" Pettigrew (whom Sirius himself recommended as the ideal Secret-Keeper), tried to avenge them confronting the latter, who managed to frame Sirius for his own (faked) death, was convicted and imprisoned without fair trial, went into an Heroic BSoD so epic it bordered Despair Event Horizon and made the Dementors' powers lose their effect on him, and was in Hogwarts purely to chase Wormtail.

She even collects the toenail clippings in a plastic bag and shows them to The Scoobies. Her friends think she's losing it. The roomie turned out to be a demon who was sucking Buffy's soul out at night, which is why Buffy kept getting more and more desperate sounding. In "Two to Go", Warren and Andrew both tried to defend themselves to Willow by pointing out to Willow that Warren didn't mean to shoot and kill Willow's girlfriend Tara. He was aiming for Willow's best friend.
