Domestic Abuse: Difference between revisions

** [[RIN-NE]] is probably the only one that's not one of her darker world. It might be that she's tired of it, actually.

** Not between the main couple, but ''The Mermaid Saga'' has a pair of siblings who are the children of a wealthy family. The son is a complete sociopath who is only protected because of the love of his sister. He shows his gratitude by emotionally and implicitly physically attacking her, as well as poisoning her fiance so she won't leave and stop protecting him. {{spoiler|After they both "die" from eating mermaid flesh, he continues to abuse her, stealing an eye from her unrotting corpse and then cutting off the head so she'll stop "haunting" him. He also picks up the [[Nightmare Fuel|charming]] habit of dating girls that look like his sister, only to murder them.}}

** Disturbingly, Saito fans seem to selectively ignore major gaffs on Saito's part in favor of ragging on Louise for reacting to them with equal abuse. For example, it is frequently noted how Louise upgrades to beating Saito with a real whip in the second [[Light Novel]] rather than her usual riding crop; less often is it mentioned that this was provoked by Saito ''trying to undress Louise in her sleep''.

* Yaoi anime ''[[Kizuna]]'' plays this for laughs. The [[Clingy Jealous Girl|extremely jealous Uke]] (Ranmaru) punches his boyfriend and Seme (Kei) so that he flies across the room, yet no one thinks twice about it.

* In ''[[Something*Positive]]'', Davan comes home to find his girlfriend Eva cheating on him with her abusive ex-boyfriend. She later marries him, although it seems to be implied that the abuse has stopped at that point, and later, ''she'' is shown being arrested for abusing ''him''.

* In ''[[Bittersweet Candy Bowl]]'', there's a lot of this in Abbey's past. The author began writing [http://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/art/graveyard/unfinishedabbeychapter.png a chapter about it], but cancelled it lest it become too disturbing.

* In ''[[No Rest for The Wicked (webcomic)|No Rest for The Wicked]]'', because [[Love Makes You Crazy]], [http://www.forthewicked.net/archive/02-38.html the Beast accuses Perrault of mistreating his other mistress -- being, in fact, wrong both about the mistress and how November acquired the bruise.]

* In ''[[Sakana]]'', this is the reason why {{spoiler|[[Grumpy Bear|Yuudai]]}} is so deeply angry. {{spoiler|His ex-boyfriend Arata put him through hell for the five years they've been dating. The crowning moment was when he [[Moral Event Horizon|slammed a bottle in his face]] (the reason why he has his trademark scar), [[Reality Ensues|evidently]] ending up their relationship.}} [[Jerkass|A]] [[Tsunshun|lot]] [[Don't You Dare Pity Me!|of]] [[Hates Everyone Equally|his]] [[Deadpan Snarker|behavior]] is clearly a [[Jerkass Facade|defense mechanism]] so as to [[Never Be Hurt Again|not be hurt like that again]].
