In media, the homeless are portrayed generally as being alcoholics and drug addicts. They're usually terrible, immoral people, who would steal and kill anyone for the sake of a crusty old piece of bread. Some of them are so obnoxious they'll even refuse things like food in lieu of things like booze and drugs. A subset of Acceptable Hard Luck Targets. Also see Homeless Pigeon Person. NOTE: This is TV Tropes, not a mass blog. As is such, please do not relate Truth in Television examples. What homeless people are like in Real Life is not at concern here, only their portrayal in fiction.

  • In media, the homeless are portrayed generally as being alcoholics and drug addicts. They're usually terrible, immoral people, who would steal and kill anyone for the sake of a crusty old piece of bread. Some of them are so obnoxious they'll even refuse things like food in lieu of things like booze and drugs. Interestingly, the key operating word here is not "homeless", but "people". Usually, when only a single homeless person (or married couple) gets at least half a dozen lines, the view is sympathetic. They're just a character who has fallen on hard times. It's even possible that the hero knows them from before the Big Bad broke the world. A subset of Acceptable Hard Luck Targets. Also see Homeless Pigeon Person.
