Beauty Is Never Tarnished: Difference between revisions

* Surprisingly, several [[Disney Channel]] and [[Nickelodeon]] shows aimed at young girls avert this by placing several of the female characters including the protagonists in slapstick situations [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PKO0O7SNVZM here are a few examples], it might be expectable because they are the same age as the target demographic

** Noticeable to some extent in the later seasons of Survivor. While both men and women show many of the expected effects of primitive living for a month, the men almost always have visible stubble and clearly grungy hair, while the women almost never have leg stubble and their hair often seems much cleaner.

** There's also a Season 3 episode where a young woman who has been in a coma since the age of eight appears to have spent the entire time lying peacefully in her hospital bed, with perfect hair and a full face of makeup.

* Actually a plot point in ''[[The Twilight Zone]]'' (2002 series) episode "Eye of the Beholder".

* ''Tales from the Floating Vagabond'' had this as a trainable skill for either gender: 'Look Good at All Times'.

* The "No Visible Damage" perk from ''[[GURPS]]: Supers''.

 

=== Video Games ===

** Strangely, in the first game the default female design had a more noticeable scar than the male design, including an additional one near her lip. Both of these are gone in the second game, while the default male scar remains.

* Present and averted in [[Dragon Age]]; male party members get covered in [[Ludicrous Gibs|ridiculous amounts of]] [[Gorn|blood spatters]], but [[Jeanne D'Archetype|Leliana]], [[Hot Witch|Morrigan]], and [[Cool Old Lady|Wynne]] come away perfectly clean, however the Warden gets pretty messy regardless of gender. Justified in that this has more to do with combat class than gender, every close-combat fighter gets sprinkled with blood, while all the female companions are archers or mages.

* Seen somewhat in ''[[Knights of the Old Republic]]'', near the end of the game, when {{spoiler|Bastila goes over to the Dark Side. For everyone else, including your character, the result of drastic drops into the Dark Side is progressive disfigurement. Bastila remains as good looking as ever.}}

* [[Yo-Jin-Bo]] allows main characters of [[Bullet-Proof Fashion Plate|both genders]] to avoid so much as a scratch in art. Despite running from ninjas through a forest, Sayori doesn't ever rip her kimono or get sweaty or anything. In fact, after the [[Hot Springs Episode|hot spring]], Jin even comments on how lovely girls smell after they get out of the bath...despite the fact that her clothes were not washed and thus should ''stink''. She does break a sandal strap once, but that's only [[Bridal Carry|so Bo could carry her]]. And even when the guys are said to be injured in text, it only rarely shows up as bloodspatter in the art.

* Averted in ''[[Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt|Panty and Stocking With Garterbelt]]''. Panty gets covered from head to toe in poop in the very first episode.

* Averted in ''[[Chrono Crusade]]''. Satella and Azmaria are forced to search through a sewer and emerge... not very clean.
