Bound and Gagged: Difference between revisions

* A rather unique example happens in the game ''[[Portal (series)|Portal]]'', where GlaDOS might have been modeled after a bound and gagged woman hanging upside down (as demonstrated [http://www.game-ism.com/2008/04/04/still-alive-shes-free/ in this fan art]), making her even creepier.

* Unusual for the ''[[Myst]]'' series, with its distinct lack of violence, in ''Myst IV'', a preteen girl, Yeesha, is kidnapped and later seen, first in flashbacks and later in person, tied and strapped to a chair, with rope reinforcing the straps. In a flashback, she struggles mightily and appears to be crying. She's also played by a live action actress, due to the game's use of FMV crossed with prerendered backgrounds.

* Happens at least once per game in the ''[[Monkey Island]]'' series...except for the first game. This is ironic because the first game actually centered around a kidnapping and subsequent rescue attempt.

* iPod Touch game ''Wild Wild Train'' features cutscenes telling a story of a damsel in distress. The cutscenes are done using actual photographs of actual actors playing the damsel, villain and hero, all of whom are silent film stereotypes. And the damsel is tied up and gagged and blindfolded, quite well. It's enough to make you wonder... [http://img690.imageshack.us/img690/9987/cutscenecol.png A collage of 9 of the cutscenes]

* Done, interestingly, with a lot of rope and a large cloth gag for visual effect, on a young girl about 7, in a movie made by a summer camp, ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zpDf67JtDvI#at=887 The Mystery of the Missing Jewels]''. It's obvious she isn't really tied or gagged especially tightly, and it's just for show, but that sure is an almost cartoonish amount of rope. Occurs at 14:47 in (link will skip you there).

* Also done in an unusual way to a girl who looks about 10, in the independent film ''[[Caitlyn]]''. She's tied to a pole (in part 2) with what appear to be metal strips pulled tightly. She's forced to make a [[Sadistic Choice]] between her freedom, or her parents' lives. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L2cu0wBw5w4&fmt=18 Part 1] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DIlbFfFiS88 Part 2]

* Happens to every one of the 5 [[Kid Hero|middle-school aged heroes]] (of both sexes) in the independent kid-made film ''Bradley's Summer'', which can be found on YouTube. Not only that, Bradley himself gets tied up while invisible. Yup, an invisible boy tied up with ropes that look like they're hanging in mid-air.

* Happens to the two female leads in the independent film ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mahphe3lXAo Green Eyed Monsters]''. They pretty much spend 80% of the movie tied up. Strong language warning on this one. It's certainly not made by kids.

* Think of your favourite animated female character. Whoever it is, anyone from [[Haruhi Suzumiya|Mikuru Asahina]] to Erin Esurance, [[Rule 34|someone out there is drawing pictures of her]] tied up, and likely posting them on [[Deviant ART]].

* [[That Guy With The Glasses]] seems to like this trope and use it in an equal-opportunity fashion:

** [[Atop the Fourth Wall|Linkara]] has been tied up twice, once by Sage and the other time by Mechakara. The former had a gag involved.
