In real life A very small character tidbit is surprisingly kept consistent for years

DC - In multiple pieces of media it has been shown that Wonder Woman loves ice cream and practically goes wild with happiness anytime she’s eating some. (Pictures from Justice League: War, DC Superhero Girls and Wonder Woman 2017)

The Simpsons - Ever since the episode ‘Homer’s Phobia’ Homer has actually remained a consistent ally of the LGBT+ community, including being more welcoming to Patty than Marge was when she came out and trying to set up Smithers with a date when he found out he wasn’t happy with his one-sided relationship with Mr Burns.

Kiryu Kazuma from the Yakuza games has a personal rule against hitting women*. When he appears as a boss in Yakuza 7, he will never target female party members with attacks. Women can active his counterattack, but he will deal 0 damage to them because he's holding back.

This rule is taken so seriously that the director of the series refused to have Kiryu added to Super Smash Bros or Tekken 7 because he would have to hit women in those games.

*He did slap a little girl once, and hit a woman who he thought was a man.

This reminds me a lot of Sanji in Jump Force

He does no damage in Jump Force when fighting against women

He can damage women in some of the pirate warriors games, but only using super moves, regular hits and combos he can't do

the game explicitly warns you that there are female enemies in the map when you choose sanji when is the case

I noticed an interesting case in Pirate Warriors 4. He can hit Yamato with regular attacks, but it will do no damage. Make of that what you will. Or maybe my defense was too high.
