{{trope}}
A Bespectacled Bastard Boyfriend (in Japanese fan terminology, ''kichiku megane'', literally "brutal glasses") is a male love interest whose defining traits are that he is cold, cruel, and abusive to his romantic partner in a manner intended to be kinky and appealing to the audience, and that he wears glasses, which indicates that he is also smart, sophisticated, and successful.
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.

== 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.''
