Line 1:
{{trope}}
A '''Bespectacled Bastard Boyfriend''' (in Japanese fan terminology, ''
This trope runs on [[Fetish Fuel]], so don't expect anything close to a realistic depiction of abuse. This is purely a
fantasy of a strong, very desirable, dominant male who has (or wants) complete control over his partner, especially sexually, and the domination and [[Romanticized Abuse|emotional abuse is intended to be sexy]] (and usually [[Victim Falls For Rapist|an expression of romantic feelings]]). Thus, if you are a good-looking male character who wears glasses, some fans will turn you into this, regardless of your personality.
Line 12:
The Japanese version is also the name of a [[Kichiku Megane (visual novel)|visual novel]].

== Anime & Manga ==▼
▲{{examples}}
* Hideaki Nakajima in ''[[Gakuen Heaven]]''. Although this was seriously toned down in the anime, the manga version followed the [[Victim Falls For Rapist|spirit of the original game]] more closely.
* Michio Yuki, ''[[MW]]'''s [[Villain Protagonist]], torments his lover, Garai, quite extensively. It's debatable whether he's actually in love with Garai, however.
** And another triumphant example from [[Osamu Tezuka]]'s [[Darker and Edgier]] phase, Dr. Urabe from ''[[Ode to Kirihito]]''. He is rather tortured and guilt-ridden about all the raping he did, though.
* [[Takehito Koyasu]] plays these a lot. He was the voice for Jade Curtiss from ''[[Tales of the Abyss]]'', played one in the [[Otome Game]] ''[[Tokimeki Memorial|Tokimeki Memorial: Girls' Side]]'', and was the first seiyuu for [[Tokyo Babylon|Seishirou Sakurazuka]].
** It should be noted that any discussion on Jade's sexuality will be [[Fanon]] at
* Ono in ''[[Antique Bakery]]'', when in "predatory gay guy" mode. He's quite nice, otherwise.
* Parodied on ''[[Keroro Gunsou]]'' with Kururu.
* Ryuji from ''[[
* The [[Student Council President]] of ''[[Suzumiya Haruhi]]'' plays one solely to provide Haruhi with an "antagonist" to keep her from being bored.
** He ''may'' have started [[Becoming the Mask|to become a straighter example]].
Line 29 ⟶ 31:
* {{spoiler|Kurt Godel}} from ''[[Mahou Sensei Negima|Negima!]]'' seems to be shaping up to be this. His backstory {{spoiler|with Ala Rubra and his unrequited love for Princess Arika}} does nothing to explain his callous cruelty.
** OTOH, {{spoiler|it's later explained why he acts like this (it's...VERY complicated), and upon being defeated by Ala Alba, he has a [[Heel Face Turn]].}}
* Satoshi from ''
* Muraki in ''[[Yami no Matsuei]]'': A [[Complete Monster]] [[Stalker with a Crush]] who has a definite thing for Tsuzuki; unfortunately for Tsuzuki, his hobbies include rape, murder, and cutting people up while they're still alive, and Tsuzuki is willing to pull a [[Taking You with Me]] to get rid of him ({{spoiler|they both survive}}). He is, however, ''very'' pretty and sexy [[Red Right Hand|as long as he styles his hair correctly]], so there is much [[Fan Fiction]] where he is this trope instead.
** Tatsumi certainly ''looks'' the part, although, in practice, he is actually a decent person (if quite the [[Frozen Flower]]). And since he cares a lot for Tsuzuki, Tatsumi is '''most''' unhappy about Muraki's little fixation with him.
* Another comedic [[Boys Love]] version: [[Student Council President]] Azuma from ''Love Is Like A Hurricane'' expresses his affection for Mizuki by molesting him relentlessly.
* Extremely [[
* Ritsu in ''[[Loveless]]'' proves to be one of these to a young Soubi, {{spoiler|sexually abusing him}} and generally being a dick because Soubi's mother married another man over him.
* Nawahara Bakurou from the H-Doujin ''Escape Creator''. Every girl that shows up with him ends up being tied, raped, and liking it, and returning for more in the last chapter.
Line 41 ⟶ 43:
* ''[[Ah! My Goddess]]'': Toshiyuki Aoshima.
* Another [[Boys Love]] example is in Kawabata's behavior towards Misaki in ''[[Hana no Mizo Shiru]]''. He had a quasi-relationship with Misaki in the past, but left him for a woman - and afterwards, proceeds to call him constantly, interrogate him about any acquaintances he makes, taunt him about his sexuality, and nearly choke him at one point (though accidentally). {{spoiler|And then in Chapter 11 he narrowly stops himself from forcing himself on Misaki.}} And yeah, sure enough, he wears glasses.
* Sugou Nobuyuki from the "Alfheim Online" arc of ''[[Sword Art Online]]''. He was selected by Asuna's father to marry her, and is not only delighted to, is also responsible for keeping her trapped in VR -- and trapped in a literal [[Gilded Cage]] inside the game.

Line 57 ⟶ 59:
== Video Games ==
* The [[Boys Love]] game ''[[Kichiku Megane (visual novel)|Kichiku Megane]]'', of course.
** The game is named after the Japanese trope name and specifically invokes it in the most literal sense possible: a clueless dork who can't get a date receives magic glasses that turn him into a commanding [[Seme]] who gets whatever he wants, especially [[Victim Falls For Rapist|in bed]]. Check out [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oM76jE-KNK0 the trailer] (slightly [[NSFW]]) to see them in action.
** While the main character, Katsuya, is the most prominent example, ''anyone'' who wears glasses in this series counts. Next best example is resident [[Horny Devils|incubus]] Mr. R (who created the titular glasses) and, later, Sawamura, Katsuya's former childhood friend.
*** Also, it should be noted that the original game will punish you for crossing the [[Moral Event Horizon]] (it even has a very basic [[Karma Meter]]), in some cases, by having the abused lover kill Katsuya. The sequel ''Kichiku Megane R'' drifts in the other direction, with the best endings for Megane!Katsuya being those where he softens up and [[Love Redeems|treats his lovers in a gentler manner]].
* [[Silver Chaos 2 Artificial Mermaid]] feature Brad Hiruma, who is added even further by using test tube as...and {{spoiler|[[Love Redeems]]}}.
* Spray, the creators of ''[[Gakuen Heaven]]'' and ''Kichiku Megane'', really love this trope. (Or, in these cases, scenario writer Tamami who wrote both games really loves it). It also appears in their other [[Boys Love]] games ''Piyotan'' and ''Steal.''
