Extremely obvious example would be teaching that "monsters aren't bad", yet they keep attacking the protagonist for no good reason (such as via random encounters, or worse, by scripted sequences), and can be made worse by blaming the protagonist for the fights even though it was the monsters who attacked (especially if these are unavoidable).
An old example is in Masters of the Universe franchise, where it is often taught that being Yourself is the key, yet the protagonist is utterly useless without his He-Man transformation.
