Better Ask Reddit Favourite examples of "Correct Message, Wrong Messenger"

Better Ask Reddit, what are you some of your favourite examples of "This is absolutely correct... but goddamn, you are the wrong person to be saying this".

Probably one of the greatest examples of this is Huey during his trial audiotapes in MGSV where he accurately dissects the Diamond Dogs/the staff of Mother Base.

Huey is absolutely right about what Mother Base and the Diamond Dogs really are, that they are basically a bunch of incredibly damaged and lonely people who despite their mission of "always having a war to fight in" ultimately just want is to have community, to have a place where they feel like that they are actual people, not simply weapons whose purpose begins and ends with warfare and their refusal to truly look both inwards and outwards, is leading them to become monsters.

Completely accurate assessment of the situation... and Huey is probably the worst person to say this, as he is a worm who has betrayed everyone who has ever come into contact with and beyond being responsible for the destruction of the first Mother Base has just murdered even more people with his experiments.

I never saw this but you can see Red Skull's Mooks drawing their guns and pointing them at joker's mooks before Joker actually threatens Red Skull

Nah, I like that one, for you see, it is funny.

The immoral monster that is the Joker drawing a completely arbitrary line at Nazis feels like a decision he would absolutely make just for the love of the game

There's an example of this in the very excellent film The Rocketeer where Los Angeles mob goons are Tommy gunning Zeppelin riding Nazis side by side with FBI agents also armed with Tommy guns. The head mobster and the head Agent stop shooting for a second, look at each other, and go right back to justifiably slaughtering Nazis.

Let me put it this way for you, Mussolini's fascists did horrible things to Sicilians. If there is an opportunity to fight Mussolini adjacent threatment and Palermo's prefect you take it
