Wasn't there a pool "you're the last person I want to hear that from"?
It was replaced with the hypocrite tag, but Lincoln being an incestuous harem protagonist doesn't have any actual basis in canon, so this one could have a normal relationship with his sisters for all we know.

That's extremely disappointing, because that pool wasn't just about being a hypocrite.

What a let down. As Vigil said, it was about more than just hypocrisy.

I don't understand. The format of the pool was basically "Person A criticizes/makes fun of person B for something that also applies to person A." What posts would show that kind of interaction without person A being hypocritical?
I mean, if it's something like person A making fun of person B for being adopted without person A knowing they themselves were adopted, you could argue that person A isn't actually a hypocrite, but it would still be taggable under irony at least.

Well, there is the trope of being oblivious to one's own faults. When the character criticizes the other because he is too dense/dumb to realize he's the same. Of course, it can be fit under hypocrite, but it kinda feels off.

I see what you mean. I don't know if there's a tag we could use for that or if we even should distinguish between intentional and unintentional hypocrisy, but I submitted some BURs in topic #34426 that might help with at least some of these concerns.
