Line 54:
** Deconstructed when the nerd villains "The Trio" honestly don't see the ethical implications of their plan to brainwash women into sex slaves, until the girl they victimized spells it out for them and they murder her as she tries to escape, providing the [[Moral Event Horizon]] for what had been played as [[Harmless Villain]]s.
** ''Buffy'' has played it straight, however, when it overlaps with [[Double Standard Rape (Female on Male)]]. For instance, consider Faith in Buffy's body having sex with Riley and compare it to, say, Warren raping Katrina using mind control.

* The episode "Unexpected" of ''[[Star Trek: Enterprise|Star Trek Enterprise]]''.

Both Aeryn and John, who have swapped minds, are implied to take advantage of the situation to [[A Date with Rosie Palms|explore their new bodies]], and while both are disgusted the R word never raises its head.
