Sex Is Evil and I Am Horny: Difference between revisions

Line 17:

In a setting where [[Sex Is Evil]], this character will exemplify the evils of sexuality. If he makes a [[Heel Face Turn]] and become [[Jack Chick|Good]], he is likely to forgive his victims for tempting him. In a setting where sex is ''not'' evil, the character is likely to be contrasted with a [[Chivalrous Pervert]], [[Good Bad Girl]], or fully operational [[Ethical Slut]].

A character with this mindset is likely to think that at least some men [[I'm a Man, I Can't Help It|are incapable of controlling their sexual urges]], so women should [[The Unfair Sex|expect them to do sexual harassment or worse]] and be [[Crazy Prepared]] in various ways. Including trying to second-guess what these men might find attractive - and then try her best to ''not'' look attractive, lest these men might get their urges. Of course, since each individual man has his individual preferences (and also since the whole "oh no, I got aroused" thing is just an excuse anyway), even wearing a Burqua would not be a safe in this regard. And yet, some particularly unsympathetic or [[Troubled Sympathetic Bigot|tragic]] character may take this attitude one step further, demanding the [[Doublethink]] that we should all consider men to be some kind of monsters while still consider them to be the superior gender - morally and otherwise. This is done by blaming women for (by their appearance or mere existence) "tempting" men, making any [[Rape Tropes|sex-crimes]] against them their own fault. Naturally, many works portray this attitude as [[No ~~Womans~~ Land|barbaric misogyny]]. With or without any such aspects of ideology or social structure, a character of either gender may use another character's attractiveness or way of dressing as a [[Lame Excuse]] to misbehave and then claim [[Never My Fault]].

While this trope is traditionally male, these days it's far from [[Always Male]]. However, it's often played out in the way that a male character with this trope is destructive and abusive, while a woman with the same underlying mindset is self-destructive.

Line 23:

See also [[Troubled Sympathetic Bigot]], [[Then Let Me Be Evil]], and [[Internalized Categorism]]. Contrast both [[Celibate Hero]] and [[Ethical Slut]]: The ''two'' ways of being a polar opposite of this trope. Contrast [[Romanticized Abuse]] for when abusive sexual gratification is played for [[Fetish Fuel]] rather then angst.

[[No Real Life Examples Please]], but examples of how real cases have been ''portrayed'' in media is okay.

* Subverted in the [[Ciem Webcomic Series]]. Candi doesn't hate the various men that keep trying to get in her pants; she feels sorry for them. (With the exception of [[Complete Monster|Don Mendoza]] and [[Depraved Bisexual|Poison Dart Eddie]].) She considers herself a failure at being a role model because she wants so badly to allow boys like Jack "Jackrabbit" in, [[Comforting the Widow|if only to distract from her pain of losing Denny]]. She is compassionate towards Jackrabbit, [[A Man Is Not a Virgin|who's frustrated that she wouldn't let him finish]]. She finally resolves to be a [[Good Bad Girl]] - [[Single Target Sexuality|for Donte only]]. When even that doesn't satisfy her, she agrees the two should marry [[Cartwright Curse|despite the risk]] of history [[Doom Magnet|repeating itself]].
