Sex Slave: Difference between revisions

Simply put, this is a character who has been [[Made a Slave]] for the sexual desires of others. This happens especially often in [[Dystopia]], [[The Empire]], and the darker versions of [[Fetish Fuel Future]], either to [[Crapsack World|show how much the world sucks]], or, well, [[Romanticized Abuse|just because]]. In the former kind, the [['''Sex Slave]]''' is rarely a protagonist. At best, she's a [[Damsel in Distress]] for the hero to rescue. At worst she only exists as a narrative tool to show the audience that this is indeed a [[No Woman's Land]]. In the [[Romanticized Abuse]] kind, however, she ([[Lady Land|or]] [[Equal Opportunity Evil|he]]) is usually the protagonist. In that case, expect [[Property of Love]] and [[Freedom From Choice]] to come along with [[Happiness in Slavery]].

[[No Real Life Examples, Please]] <ref> No, really, it's horrific enough to be considered a [[wikipedia:Crimes against humanity|crime against humanity]], which means that even [[Brain Bleach]] is not enough to heal the scars it inflicts on the soul. This isn't just about the [[Rule of Cautious Editing Judgment]], it's to help us remain sane and non-misanthropic. </ref>

* In ''[[Shitsurakuen]]'', this is mostly [[Fridge Logic]], since we don't see what the boys do to their girls in the off-hours (but they're [[Complete Monster|Complete Monsters]]s, so we have a fair guess). Ironically, the one unambiguous case is the ''heroine's'' [[Victim Falls For Rapist|encounter]] with Reiko, as part of a [[Batman Gambit]] to save her.

** One of the omakes in the OVA takes it to a more comedic level. A drag-queen Mitsukake apparently looks disgusting enough to have his face censored and make the rest of the cast [[Blue with Shock]], and is still singled out to become the [[Sex Slave]]. Then Tamahome and Tasuki drop their disguises and willingly and gleefuly volunteer to become slaves themselves, much to Miaka's chargin.

* ''[[Master of Martial Hearts]]'': {{spoiler|The fate of those who lose the tournament is to be [[Mind Rape|Mind Raped]]d into mindlessness and then sold into sexual slavery. This drives the [[Cycle of Revenge]] in the series in general.}}

* This is what actually happened to {{spoiler|Shiro Masuda aka Amakusa}} in ''[[Amakusa 1637]]''. More exactly, {{spoiler|Shiro is captured and given as a slave to Naozumi, an already emotionally unstable [[Time Travel|Time Traveler]]er, who made him his forced lover due to Shirou [[Identical Stranger|being identical]] to Natsuki, Naozumi's [[Unrequited Love]]. According to Naozumi's own testimony, [[The Messiah|Shi]][[Incorruptible Pure Pureness|rou]] first attempted to understand his "lord"'s broken psyche via speaking to him politely and gently, then tried to [[Please, I Will Do Anything!|use this to try helping his fellow Christians]]... but when Naozumi realized [[Lima Syndrome|that he was starting to fall for Shirou]], he strangled the poor kid to death, and then threw his lifeless body into the sea.}}

* "The Slavers", a [[Punisher]] arc, has Frank Castle taking on a slave-trafficking ring. The horrible things that the slavers do to the people they've enslaved hits every one of Castle's [[Berserk Button|Berserk Buttons]]s concerning mistreatment of women and children in general, resulting in [[Roaring Rampage of Revenge|one of his most brutal killing sprees]].

* Similar to the Orion girls from ''[[Star Trek]]'' are the [[Green-Skinned Space Babe|Twi'lek girls]] from ''[[Star Wars]]''. According to the [[Expanded Universe]] they actually encourage sexual slavery: since they have no spacecraft of their own, becoming [[Sex Slave|sex slaves]] is their primary method of going offworld, with the plan of freeing themselves to get a real job at some point. However, they don't seem to be doing a very good job as it's been this way for thousands of years.

* In ''The Fifth Sacred Thing,'' by Starhawk, post-eco-apocalypse Southern California is ruled by a high-tech religious dictatorship with gene-engineered slave castes, one of which is bred exclusively for sexual entertainment. In one scene, the protagonist Madrone, a witch-healer from the neopagan utopia around San Francisco, is forced by circumstances to share a cot with a five-year-old girl of that caste. The child tries to touch Madrone sexually and, when gently rebuffed, has a temper tantrum -- becausetantrum—because she has been frustrated in the only only way she knows of to get approval from adults. Madrone, when she is told about the girl's background, and that these sex-slaves' owners can do ''anything at all'' to them, remarks, "I was raised not to believe in evil. But I can't think of any other name for this."

* Paolo Bacigalupi's ''[[The Windup Girl]]'' features Emiko, a Japanese Windup abandoned by her master in a [[Dystopia|dystopiandystopia]]n Bangkok. Windups, or "New People," are genetically altered to have an irrepressible instinct to please and have been trained from birth that they are in a position of servitude. While revered in Japan as works of art and strong workers, they are hated in Bangkok and, in order to avoid being picked up by police and incinerated, Emiko is forced to work in a sex club, where she is routinely humiliated and abused.
