So Bob is a Hero with Bad Publicity or otherwise isn't seen in high regard by people. Does he spend his time trying to win them over and improve how others see him? Oh heck no! He's got better things to do with his time instead of trying to get approval from a bunch of people he's never met or will probably never be in the same room with. This trope is where a character isn't seen well by others, and he decides to just brush off how he is seen and keep going on with his business. Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Contrast with Slave to PR, where a character focuses on staying in the good graces of the public and has to tailor his actions around doing so. Compare with Underling with an F in PR. Examples: |

Goblin Slayer: The titular character is seen as a complete weirdo by other adventurers for his single minded focus on goblins, a race seen as more of a nuisance than a threat that most adventurers see as beneath them, despite being a Silver Ranked Adventurer. Goblin Slayer couldn't care less about how he's seen by others because he's completely and utterly dedicated to slaughtering every last goblin he can get his hands on. Interestingly, he isn't completely disdained for his behavior. Certain characters, such as Guild Girl and Sword Maiden, hold him in high regard and are grateful for him dealing with a Not-So-Harmless Villain race that otherwise just gets ignored by those who can do something about them. | |

The titular hero in Hancock starts off not caring about all of the damage his vigilante heroism causes, and the constant negative news in the media about it. Upon meeting Ray following one of his episodes of heroism, he is convinced to begin changing his act on Ray's behest. | |

RWBY: General Ironwood serves as a deconstruction of this trope. After the fall of Beacon his policies and actions start gaining criticism and escalate tensions with the other kingdoms and especially Mantle, the working class part of Atlas. He tries to shrug off and ignore the negative reception his decisions have been bringing onto him, more concerned with doing things efficiently and getting results. This is emphatically shown as a bad thing. His lack of concern for how he's viewed for his actions just adds to the issues Mantle has with him, as he starts looking unstable and paranoid to them and they start pushing back the more he goes about things without any explanation whatsoever. Eventually even his support base in Atlas starts to question and worry over what he's doing as he does everything in his power to avoid giving any answers and refuse to explain anything. Ironwood would have encountered far fewer problems had he just explained something to the people or otherwise did anything to make himself look like he wasn't just being a paranoid lunatic. | |

In the Hellboy movies, Hellboy has zero interest in holding up The Masquerade and freely gives out autographs and poses for photos, to his boss' chagrin. This is in stark contrast to the comics, where the presence of a Big Red Devil being sent to investigate supernatural disturbances raises zero eyebrows among the people reporting the disturbances. | |

DuckTales (2017): Scrooge McDuck, despite his interest in cultivating a philanthropic image and belief that his immense fortune should be used to benefit the world as a whole, has little interest in being seen well by the public at large. In one episode, after one of his adventures causes a beanstalk to tear through the city, he's aghast when the Buzzards want him to do an interview to run damage control. Scrooge doesn't see what the big deal is because he always pays for any damages his adventures cause but eventually relents. While Scrooge can get testy about protecting his own self image, it's usually out of pride rather than because of how it makes him look to the public. | |

Black Clover: The Black Bulls are seen by the rest of the kingdom as the worst Magic Knight squad for their various character flaws and tendencies to be lazy or destructive. The entire squad couldn't care less about how they are seen and just care about going about things their own way. The only member who has shown any concern for the squad's low standing is the newcomer Noelle, who feels that as a royal the squad is beneath her and she quickly grows past it after some Character Development. Asta particularly embodies this. As an Un-Sorcerer in a world where magic is everything and a peasant to boot he's been looked down on for his entire life. He couldn't give a flying fish about how he's seen. When some Magic Knights were mocking and insulting him he brushed it off because it's nothing he hasn't heard before and he has zero interest in their approval. The current Wizard King implies that he follows this idea. He's actively trying to reform the Magic Knight system so that capability and legitimate achievements matter more than social standing and connections. He outright says the only thing that is necessary to become the Wizard King is results, hinting that anything else is superfluous including public reception from the kingdom. |

The Lord of the Rings: Aragorn and the other Rangers are responsible for protecting the humans and hobbits who still live in Eriador, but the inhabitants are mostly ignorant of their deeds and treat them with suspicion, scowling at them and giving them scornful names. Aragorn shrugs it off though, even telling the Council of Elrond that, "We would not have it otherwise" if it means those people can live free from care and fear. | |

Young Justice: The League usually don't get the luxury of doing this, being dependent on having it appear that they are both adhering to the law and also not looking suspicious to the public when they have to resort to secretive and sometimes questionable methods behind closed doors to do what needs to be done. By the time of Outsiders though Batman has grown tired of the increasing red tape that hampers them from acting to help people, opting to quit the League and leading several other members to leave with him. Aquaman tries to discourage him from this, noting how bad it will look for a founding member of the Justice League to just up and quit, but Batman feels that being able to act freely is more important than the public's good graces and working around the Obstructive Bureaucrats that try to prevent them from doing their job. | |

Hachiman Hikigaya from My Youth Romantic Comedy Is Wrong, as I Expected is The Hermit of his school, a highschooler who doesn't care about any of his classmates or any of his school for extension. When he's forced to be part of the Service Club, he still doesn't care for anyone, realizing social suicide acts where he can get as the "bad guy" just with the purpose of accomplish the petition since he doesn't matter what the other boys and girls think about him. | |
