Abusive Parents/Video Games/Visual Novel: Difference between revisions

* Ah, ''[[Tsukihime (Visual Novel)|Tsukihime]]'', what form of angst don't you have. One of the characters is {{spoiler|the seemingly cheerful and carefree maid Kohaku}}. Spending her childhood locked in a room and being raped ''daily'' by her master, {{spoiler|Shiki's adoptive father Makihisa Tohno}}, ''and'' doing so to {{spoiler|protect her twin sister Hisui from being raped as well}}, made her a literal [[Emotionless Girl]]: she put on on a [[Stepford Smiler|horrible cheery mask]] to hide her (lack of) feelings ({{spoiler|while Hisui became a melancholic [[Shrinking Violet]] who feigned emotionlessness to not perturb her further}}), and in some routes of the game, she {{spoiler|plots to kill every member of the Tohno Family as revenge}}.

* Also, ''[[Fate/stay Stay Night (Visual Novel)|Fate Stay Nightnight]]'' has {{spoiler|Sakura Matou}}, who has a very similar backstory to {{spoiler|Kohaku}}. While {{spoiler|Zouken subjects her "only" to [[Training Fromfrom Hell]] and the Matou crest worms}}, her stepbrother {{spoiler|Shinji}} rapes her repeteadly.

** Her adoptive uncle Kariya Matou was a victim of the same sort of {{spoiler|[[Training Fromfrom Hell]] via the crest worms, partially because [[Complete Monster]] patriarch of the Matou family Zouken liked to watch him suffer.}}

* Jigoro Hakamichi, Shizune and Hideaki's father, of ''[[Katawa Shoujo]]''. He not only frequently insults his children, Shizune's friends and the student council, but also has refused to learn sign language to speak with his deaf daughter, and has tried for 12 years to get Shizune to learn how to speak, unwilling to accept that she is unable to do so.

* ''[[Kara no Shoujo (Visual Novel)|Kara no Shoujo]]'' had Shinji's parents and Yaginuma's father.

* While really more of an Abusive Uncle, [[Complete Monster]] Teppei Hojo from ''[[Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni (Visual Novel)|Higurashi no Naku Koro Nini]]'' definitely fits this trope. He beats Satoko and forces her to do chores for him, threatening to burn down her beloved brother's room if she doesn't comply. {{spoiler|It's revealed later on that he's also a pimp, and is engaged in a fraud scheme with one of his working girls (Rina Mamiya) to scam half a million yen out of Rena's father.}} Teppei's fate changes in each of the three arcs he appears in, and none of them are pretty. He is {{spoiler|murdered by Keiichi in Tatarigoroshi-hen}}; {{spoiler|murdered by Rena in Tsumihoroboshi-hen}}; {{spoiler|murdered by Rena, Keiichi, and Shion (all together) in Tsukiotoshi-hen}}; and {{spoiler|arrested by Child Services in Minagoroshi-hen.}}

** Also Onryu Sonozaki as an abusive grandmother, especcially to Shion. Planned on strangling her before her first bath, discards her by shipping her off to boarding school, and then decides to [[Cold -Blooded Torture|torture her]] just for being [[Disproportionate Retribution|being with a boy from a family she hates]] through [[Moral Event Horizon|ripping her finger nails off]]. It comes as no surprise that Shion hates her (anything that reminds her of Onryu is a [[Berserk Button]] as seen in the cancelled Reality Breaking chapter). When Shion snaps in the Cotton Drifting and Eye Opening chapters, Onryu [[Kick the Son of Aa Bitch|becomes her first victim]]. [[Sarcasm Mode|Best Grandmom ever.]]
