  • Badass Pacifist
rdfs:comment
  • A Badass Pacifist describes an Actual Pacifist who, without doing anything violent, is much more awesome than many of us will ever be, and commands all the respect you give 'the baddest motherfucker on the planet' even though (or in some cases, because) they never go on the offensive. These are the people who will stand and take a No-Holds-Barred Beatdown without striking back and without giving in; they are also very fond of Turning The Other Cheek. Contrast A Real Man Is a Killer. A subtrope of Badass. Compare Martial Pacifist. The Reluctant Warrior wishes he could be a Badass Pacifist.

  • A Badass Pacifist describes an Actual Pacifist who, without doing anything violent, is much more awesome than many of us will ever be, and commands all the respect you give 'the baddest motherfucker on the planet' even though (or in some cases, because) they never go on the offensive. These are the people who will stand and take a No-Holds-Barred Beatdown without striking back and without giving in; they are also very fond of Turning The Other Cheek. Please note that this trope is not "Nice person who will kick your ass if you make them angry." This trope describes an Actual Pacifist who can completely defeat an enemy without any violence on their part whatsoever; the person who can take a beating from a Memetic Badass without backing down, giving in, or losing control, or who can talk aforesaid Memetic Badass into going home with his tail between his legs. Their presence often -- but not always -- indicates a higher position on the Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism. Frequently The So-Called Coward. Might be a Guile Hero. Contrast A Real Man Is a Killer. A subtrope of Badass. Compare Martial Pacifist. The Reluctant Warrior wishes he could be a Badass Pacifist. Examples of Badass Pacifist include:
