Selective Squick: Difference between revisions

* The (90% female) Western fandom for ''[[xxxHolic]]'' is known to complain about the manga's focus on [[Girl of the Week|female characters]] and the relative lack of focus on the subtext between the male leads, though this becomes rather silly once you realize that in Japan the series is classified as [[Seinen]] -- as in, targeted at young men -- so of ''course'' the focus will be on girls and much less on the subtext between the males.

* Similarly, the wave of [[Periphery Demographic]] [[Yaoi Fangirl|Yaoi Fangirls]] who joined the ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam]]'' fandom in ''[[Gundam Wing]]'' have an [[Die for Our Ship|intense dislike for Relena and similar characters who "get in the way"]] of the [[Slash Fic|slash]].

** This is [[CLAMP]]. Love is love ''in pretty much any way'', according to them.

* ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha]]'':

** Any viewer who was attracted to its [[Les Yay]], characters, [[Action Girl|Action Girls]], different approach to the [[Magical Girl]] theme, and/or status as the [[Humongous Mecha]] genre's adopted sister, will first have to go through a trial by [[Lolicon]] [[Fan Service]] in Season 1, which had the original sales pitch of starring the [[Token Mini-Moe]] of the hentai game ''[[Triangle Heart 3 ～sweet songs forever～]]'', and [[Lingerie Scene|it]] [[Hot Springs Episode|really]] [[Transformation Sequence|showed]].

* [[Kaori Yuki]] may very well be the queen of [[Author Appeal]]. We learn through her different series and short stories about her appreciation for [[Attractive Bent Gender|tomboys, cross dressers]], [[Bishonen|androgynous men]], nicely endowed women, [[Shotacon|underage boys]], and BDSM. The one thing she's said she thinks is disturbing is [[Lolicon]]. Her Lolicon characters so far have been portrayed as [[Dirty Old Man|fat, old perverts]], creepy [[Otaku]], and a college student who [[Attempted Rape|attempts rape]].

* ''[[A Dance With Rogues]]'', the ''[[Neverwinter Nights]]'' module. As the page on this wiki says, it's both [[Darker and Edgier]] and [[Hotter and Sexier]]. It's also very well made, being the mature rather than silly kind of [[Darker and Edgier]] (except where that overlaps with the other thing). So you can play it plausibly as an unusually poignant and immersive role-playing experience where you get to experience, not being a generic, powerful game protagonist who's guaranteed to beat any aggressor of your own level, but a lone woman in a dangerous and sexist environment where, initially, even walking the streets is threatening. But then you may find you're not the intended audience after all, because the module likes to feast with sexual situations you may be forced into (not if you're really being molested, presumably because not even the author would like that), and apparently thinks that when you're being harassed at every turn, you'll definitely want your armour to be totally [[Stripperific]].
