Sissy Villain: Difference between revisions

[[File:Sissy_VillainSissy Villain.png|link=Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann|rightframe|Hmmm...Slim build, fabulous clothes, swishy wrists... EVIL-DOER! Let's beat him up!]]

The Sissy Villain is probably the second most common portrayal of [[Acceptable Targets|effeminate gay men]] (besides "one-dimensional joke character"), but is not necessarily synonymous with [[Depraved Homosexual]]. While [[Sissy Villain|'''Sissy Villains]]''' are frequently [[Depraved Homosexual|gay]] or [[Depraved Bisexual|bisexual]], most of them are merely [[Ambiguously Gay|sexually ambiguous]] or [[Asexuality|seemingly asexual]], and some of them are [[Camp Straight|straight]]. The Sissy Villain isn't intended to creep out the audience just because of the implication that he might like men (although this usually factors in), but because he acts like a "pansy."

Needless to say, this trope has often been criticized for its [[Unfortunate Implications]]. It is also particularly amusing to see this trope used with villains who are also shown as trying to steal the girl from hero, though this might be a reflection of one of the tragic modes of eugenics dramas of Sol III: '[[Ugly Guy, Hot Wife|Unsuitable male breeds with desirable female]]'.

This trope shows up mainly in Western works and those Japanese works aimed at a male audience; if the villain is presented as [[Bishounen|certain]] [[Attractive Bent Gender|kinds]] [[White -Haired Pretty Boy|of swishy]], [[Misaimed Fandom|female fans]] are likely to declare him [[Draco in Leather Pants|utterly fabulous]].

Sissy Villains show up frequently in anime, where they often have [[White -Haired Pretty Boy|white hair]]. A common subtrope of the Sissy Villain is the [[Villainous Crossdresser]]. Compare [[Agent Peacock]], which can be applied to heroes ''and'' villains. See also [[Fashion Victim Villain]], [[Gorgeous George]], [[Depraved Homosexual]], [[Depraved Bisexual]], and [[Psycho Lesbian]]. May sometimes overlap with [[He -Man Woman Hater|misogynistic]] [[Straw Misogynist|views]] in the context of the [[Effeminate Misogynistic Guy]]. Contrast with [[Real Men Wear Pink]], and occasionally, [[Evil Sounds Deep]]. When his ambiguous (nor not so ambiguous) sexuality is played for laughs, that's [[Queer People Are Funny]]. Not to be confused with [[Non -Action Big Bad]], although they can overlap.

== Anime &and Manga ==

* Harley from the ''[[Pokémon (Animeanime)|Pokémon]]'' anime embodies this trope to the fullest. He's one of the most cold-hearted rival characters in the show and he [[Kick the Dog|treats May like crap]], but he always looks fabulous doing it.

* Leader Desslock from ''[[Star Blazers]]''.

** Pegasus from ''[[Yu-Gi-Ohthe (Anime)|Yu-Gi-Oh]]''original is a [[Camp Straight]] [[Psychopathic Manchild]] whose preferred monsters are based off his childhood cartoons (get him mad enough, though, and he'll bring out Relinquished). In case you wondered if this was limited to the dub, he's ''exactly'' as flamboyant in the original, right down to appending "-boy" to his opponent's names.

* Subverted by Johan Liebert, the titular ''[[Monster (Animemanga)|Monster]]''. {{spoiler|Yes, he crossdresses, but it's pretty much because he sees himself and the sister he's dressing as as essentially the same person, with no definition between them. And he's too damaged and empty to even qualify as [[Asexual]] in the healthy orientation sense, let alone gay.}}

* Suzu from the ''[[Peacemaker Kurogane]]'' manga becomes this, after going [[Ax Crazy|mad]]. He starts wearing nail polish and makeup, has the best fashion sense of all the characters, has flamboyant mannerisms and prissyness, [[Giggling Villain|giggles creepily]], and has an extremely [[Bishonen|effeminate appearance]]. Oh, and he has a great fondness for [[Right -Hand -Cat|exotic cats]]. Funnily enough, this example definitely gives off a lot of [[Unfortunate Implications]], considering that he is shown to have been a good person before he became [[Depraved Homosexual|gay]] (and therefore [[Ax Crazy]]).

** But consider that Suzu already shown he had more than disciple worship feelings toward his master beforehand {{spoiler|and that he went crazy because his beloved master was killed and he was a sex slave to some old, dirty man afterwards}}.

* Creed from ''[[Black Cat (Mangamanga)|Black Cat]]''. Good god, this trope ''is'' Creed (coupled with him being [[Ambiguously Gay]]). He has the flamboyant mannerisms, gives [[Hannibal Lecture]] speeches (mostly to Train, whom he wants to [[We Can Rule Together|rule the world with]]), Is [[Wicked Cultured]] in contrast to [[Men Are Uncultured|Train]], has the most [[Fashion Victim Villain|laughable fashion sense of all the men in the series]], and is a [[White -Haired Pretty Boy]]. Granted, [[The Protagonist|Train]] is actually shown to be more petite and have a smaller body build than his, but that is attributed as Train being more boy-ish.

** There is nothing ambiguous about Creed's gayness.

* [[DragonballDragon Ball|Frieza.]] A petite, painstakingly polite alien with a color scheme of pink, purple, and white who happens to be [[Ax Crazy|the most evil villain in the Dragon Ball mythos.]] Not to mention how he is voiced by a woman with a raspy old lady voice in the English dub and complains about not wanting to break his nails during his fight with Goku.

*** The ''[[Team Four Star]]'' [[Abridged Series]] averted the Sissy Villain trope for Frieza. It was kept in for Zarbon, who is now a Sissy Villain - {{spoiler|but it was subverted in episode 17 when it was revealed that Zarbon is in fact [[Camp Straight|straight]], and is shocked to find out that everyone around him thinks he's gay.}}

* [[Mobile Suit Gundam: The 08th MS Team|Ginias Sahalin]] fits this trope to a tee. Ascots? Check. Fruity wardrobe in general? Check. Sexual ambiguity? Check (he's one of the series' only characters who doesn't have at least implied heterosexual preferences). [[Show Hayami|A seiyuu known for voicing numerous well-known BL characters]]? Check.

* Grell Sutcliff from ''[[Black Butler (Manga)|Black Butler]]'' is a flamboyant [[Shinigami]] who is characterized with shark teeth, long red hair, and a chainsaw. He often refers to himself as a female, wears a red woman's coat, and is very open about his blatant infatuation with his enemy Sebastian. Sometimes he even crossdresses.

** Jakotsu was originally going to be a woman, but the author changed it because she disliked the idea of [[What Measure Is a Non -Human?|human woman]] [[Wouldn't Hit a Girl|getting killed by the main heroes]].

** The main villain of the first movie is this until he turns into his [[One -Winged Angel]] form.

* The page picture is of Cytomander from ''[[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann]]''. Considering the protagonist's [[Super Robot]] is actually powered by [[Hot -Blooded|MANLY SPIRIT]], it's surprising that he's the only Sissy Villain in the series. Of course the good guys also have a very effeminate man on their side too, [[Camp Gay]] mecha lover and all-around genius Leeron.

* Lussuria from ''[[Katekyo Hitman Reborn]]''. He's blatantly [[Hard Gay]], has a lot of colorful feathers on his outfit, in the anime his voice is very feminine sounding, and he's also rather flamboyant with his mannerisms. During his fight with Ryohei he also goes into fanboy mode once Ryohei takes off his shirt and he decides he wants to [[I'm Taking Her Home Withwith Me|take Ryohei home with him]] and make him a part of his 'collection'.

** Byakuran seems to have traces of this. He wears a bondage outfit in chapter 274 and the following chapters, with zippers all the way up his legs, and gains sparkling wings.

** There's also Kikyo with his [[Dude Looks Like a Lady]] appearance, long blue hair, tendency to walk around with his shirt open, and what appears to be blue eye shadow.

** Also, [[Monster Clown|Hisoka]] to an extent.

* ''[[Ghost Sweeper Mikami (Anime)|Ghost Sweeper Mikami]]'': Ashtaroth.

** ''[[Big Bad|Aizen]]'' of all people has gone this route. If his [[Fan Nickname|Gagafication]] and insta-mullet weren't already goofy enough, his [[One -Winged Angel]] form seems to be a [[Winged Humanoid|six-winged]] ''[[Butterfly of Death and Rebirth|butterfly]]''. [[Fashion Victim Villain|In a dress]]. [[Your Mileage May Vary|Many fans]] [[Base Breaker|were]] [[Base Breaker|not]] [[Base Breaker|amused]].

** [[Filler Villain]] Muramasa to an extent.

* Both Arthur and Shalott of ''[[Air Gear (Manga)|Air Gear]]''. Arthur is a masochist who pelvic thrusts against his male opponent Agito and nibbles on his ear while fighting him. He also has flamboyant mannerisms, speaks in a polite manner, and frequently releases heart marks whenever he's reveling in the feeling of pain. Shalott is a loli who wears a frilly looking dress and [[Dropped a Bridget On Him|drops a bridget]] on Agito, revealing that he's actually a girly-looking guy who is in a BDSM type relationship with Arthur. The end of chapter 279 has him pin Agito to the ground and straddle him, saying after he tortures him then Agito can "lick it" if he wants.

* Most of the Innovators of ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam 00]]'' combine this with [[Ambiguous Gender]] and [[Fashion Victim Villain]].

* Escargon from ''[[Kirby: ofRight theBack Starsat Ya!]]''. His [[Ho Yay]] with Dedede is a running gag.

* Ukiyo of ''[[Samurai Seven7]]'' is a mincing fop who either always wears make-up, or for some reason, has that as his natural skin tone. However, he's a [[Camp Straight]] version- the fact that he's often with his [[Paid Harem]] marks him as pretty clearly heterosexual (and some of the mincing is just an act anyway). There's also Hyogo, an elite mook, who has an androgynous appearance and wears lipstick and what seems like [[Villainous Crossdresser|women's clothing]].

* Jaibo and to some extent Raizou from ''[[Litchi Hikari Club]]''. Both are overtly gay with girlish looks and clearly crazy but Jaibo takes it to a whole new level of sadism. {{spoiler|From disembowling teachers to planning to kill virtually everyone so that Zera will be his forever there is nothing Jaibo will not do}}.

* Rosiel from ''[[Angel Sanctuary]]'' is a [[White -Haired Pretty Boy]] angel with full, luscious lips and long eyelashes. He often dresses effeminately and loves to be called "beautiful" more than anything else. He is also in a questionable relationship with his loyal right-hand man, Katan.

* Yuda from ''[[Fist of the North Star]]''. While his large harem seems to imply he's staight, he's nonetheless obsessed with his own physical perfection, to the point of being worried about scars in battle. This makes him look even more cowardly and twisted. In one of the most "manly" anime series, to the point of sometimes showing lots of [[Unfortunate Implications|unfortunate implications]], the master of [[Fantastic Fighting Style|Red Crane Nanto]] is obviously depicted as everything a [[Badass Hero|proud]] warrior should not be. Moreover he weirdly shows his "admiration" for Rei and uses a very heavy make-up,but he's still a fighter, so he's quite muscular, as anyone there besides casual oppressed peasants/children.

* Hiromi Kisiragi of ''[[Eyeshield 21]]'' is cornerback for the [[Opposing Sports Team|Hakushuu Dinosaurs]], [[Co -Dragons]] to [[Manipulative Bastard]] Marco alongside [[The Juggernaut|Gaou]], and an incredibly [[Unnecessary Roughness|cruel player]] who tries his best to dislocate the arms of recievers. He's also a mincing pretty-boy with a massive mancrush on Gaou and the belief that [[The Fighting Narcissist|strength is a true indicator of beauty]]. It's actually justified in his case and played sympathetically--sicksympathetically—sick of being bullied due to his effeminate nature and looks he joined the football team to get a life and was turned into the [[Psycho Supporter]] he is today by Marco.

* Two from [[Death Note (Manga)|Death Note]]: [[Villain Protagonist|Light Yagami]] and [[Sociopathic Hero|Mello]]. Funny enough, Light is the main "hero" and Mello is quite the [[Badass]].

* Xerxes in ''[[Three Hundred (Comic Book)|Three Hundred300]]'' was also one. [[Frank Miller]] likes this trope.

* How much of it is based on historical behavior and how much is writer embellishment is debatable, but King James I is well on his way to this in ''[[Marvel 1602]]'' and ''definitely'' this in ''[[1602: New World]]''.

* The galactic emperor from an in-universe [[Fan Fiction]] (read by [[Empowered (Comic Book)|Empowered]]) who forces Major Havoc and Syndablokk to have sex together.

* The Marvel version of [[The Mighty Thor|Loki]] is a somewhat deconstruction of this. He actually became villainous ''because'' he was too ''sissy'' for Asgardian standards. Being a scrawny human sized ice giant living in a land that ranks brute force and power above intellect and magic, with a brother who is the personification of the former is basically his [[Freudian Excuse]].

* One of the complaints often levied against the [[Harry Potter (Filmfilm)|Harry Potter]] films is that Voldemort often comes across as this.

* Buffalo Bill, the quasi-transsexualtransgender [[Serial Killer]] from ''[[Silence of the Lambs]]'' is one of the most famous examples.

* ''[[The Maltese Falcon]]'' pits macho [[Anti -Hero]] Sam Spade up against ''three'' [[Sissy Villain|Sissy Villains]]: Joel Cairo, Kasper Gutman, and Wilmer. (Only the [[Hays Code]] prevented the film from out-and-out showing that Cairo and Wilmer are the [[Gayngster|Gayngsters]]s they are in the novel.)

* Bruno from ''[[Strangers On a Train (Film)|Strangers Onon a Train]]'', Brandon and Philip from ''[[Rope]]'', Norman Bates from ''[[Psycho (Film)|Psycho]]''... it's safe to say that [[Alfred Hitchcock]] loved this trope.

* King Xerxes of ''[[Three Hundred (Film)300|Three Hundred]]''. He is usually wearing nothing but a gold speedo and lounging seductively on his throne.

* The Scorpio Killer from ''[[Dirty Harry (Film)|Dirty Harry]]''. The contrast is made more blatant by the fact that Harry Callahan is played by quintessential "man's man" [[Clint Eastwood]].

* Charlie Prince in the remake of ''[[Three Ten3:10 to Yuma (Film)|Three Ten to Yuma]]''.

* [[Villainous Crossdresser|Dr. Frank-N-Furter]] from ''[[The Rocky Horror Picture Show (Film)|The Rocky Horror Picture Show]]'', albeit he's an [[Evil Is Cool]] example.

* Mr. Wint and Mr. Kidd from ''[[Diamonds Are Forever (Film)|Diamonds Are Forever]]''.

* Jean-Baptiste Emanuel Zorg from ''[[The Fifth Element (Film)|The Fifth Element]]'' had some of these traits, specifically the delicacy and high fashion. Remember his perfectly appointed office? [[The Hero|Dallas]], on the other hand, is an ex-soldier played by [[Macho Macho Man|Bruce Willis]].

* Dr. Terwilliker in ''[[The 5000 Fingers of Dr. T (Film)|The 5000 Fingers of Dr. T]]''. Even though he's intent on marrying Bartholomew's mother, you can clearly see he's very swishy. Especially during the ''fabulous'' dress-up song.

* Subverted by Adrian "Ozymandias" Veidt in ''[[Watchmen]]''. The screenwriter and director were convinced he was gay, the actor who played him suggested he was probably at least bisexual in an interview, and there's an [[Easter Egg]] in a shot of his computer desktop that may or may not have a gay [[Porn Stash]]. He's also extremely well-dressed, to the point of garishness in some scenes, and has a ''fabulous'' androgynous haircut bordering on [[Power Hair]]. He's also a ruthlessly efficient martial artist, a hard-nosed businessman, and has terse, rather dry and dour speech patterns and body language. He might not be quite [[StraightInvisible Gayto Gaydar]], but there is nothing mincing or effeminate about him in the slightest.

* ''[[Repo! theThe Genetic Opera (Film)|Repo the Genetic Opera]]'' has Parvi Largo as a minor villain. He is foppish, flamboyant and painfully vain; he dresses in replica vintage Italian suits, and speaks with an outrageous Italian accent for no good reason. Of course, he's also a serial rapist who wears the face of a beautiful woman over his own.

* Park Chang-yi in ''[[The Good, the Bad, Thethe Weird]]''.

** Disney's anthropomorphic depiction of [[Robin Hood (Disney film)|Prince John]] out-swishes Scar to such a degree, the ''Lion King'' villain looks positively [[Leather Man]] by comparison.

** "Honest" John Worthington Foulfellow in ''[[Pinocchio (Disney film)|Pinocchio]]'' has his moments, though it may be more of a [[Large Ham]] persona thing. See the bit where he prances around and mimes throwing flowers while describing Pleasure Island "where ''every'' day is a holiday!"

** The colour didn't yet have quite the same [[Pink Girl, Blue Boy|significance]] in the 1940s, when the movie is set, but the weasel leader's pale pink suit in ''[[Who Framed Roger Rabbit?]]'' gives this impression to a number of 21st-century viewers. (It ''did'' have that significance in 1988 when the movie was ''made'', though, so one wonders.)

{{quote| "Nothing says sinister like little pink bows on your pigtails!" -- [[The Nostalgia Chick]]}}

** Captain Hook of ''[[Peter Pan (Disney film)|Peter Pan]]''

** {{spoiler|Castor/Zuse}} from ''[[Tron Legacy (Film)|Tron: Legacy]]''.

* The alien commander Eros in ''[[Plan Nine9 Fromfrom Outer Space]]''. In the words of the Rifftrax guys: "He makes Carson Kressley look butch!"

*** Eros' superior, however, out-swishes him by a mile. He was played by a guy with the ordinary name (and not-so-ordinary nickname) of [http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/Bunny_Breckinridge:Bunny Breckinridge|John "Bunny" Breckinridge]], but his lifestyle topped having the surname "Manlove" by ''ten'' miles.

* "Sally Can't Dance" in ''[[Con Air]]''. How effeminate is he? Well, his nickname is "Sally," he refers to men as a separate gender, he [[TransvestiteCrossdresser|wears dresses]], and in his final confrontation with the hero, he is taken out with a single open-handed slap to the face.

* [[Rock -a -Doodle|The Grand Duke and his hench-owls]].

* Watson from ''Razor Sharpe'', although, given his [[What the Hell Is That Accent?|unfathomable accent]], it's anyone's guess whether this is intentional or just the result of dodgy acting.

* Aro, the head vampire in the film version of ''[[Twilight (Literaturenovel)|Twilight]]'', due to [[Michael Sheen]] [[Ham and Cheese|simply not giving a shit]].

{{quote| [[RifftraxRiff Trax|Is he being sarcastic, or just]] ''[[RifftraxRiff Trax|flaming]]''}}

* Even though he's a deadly combatant (well...[[Overshadowed Byby Awesome|sorta]]), Lord Shen from [[Kung Fu Panda 2]] is also this. Of course, he IS a peacock.

* Arguably [[Corrupt Church|The Pardoner]] from ''[[The Canterbury Tales (Literature)|The Canterbury Tales]]''. He's a rather effeminate guy, and there's a scene where the Host, a [[Boisterous Bruiser]] makes a threat which could be loosely paraphrased as "I'd cut off your balls if you had any."

* Valentine Wolfe, evil space aristocrat junkie extraordinaire, from the [[Deathstalker (Literaturenovel)|Deathstalker]] books. He's more outrageously decadent than feminine, but he does wear makeup and have a rather [[Camp]] way of expressing himself at times.

* The [[Eunuchs Are Evil|eunuch]] [[Aristocrats Are Evil|Lord]] [[Evil Chancellor|Varys]] from [[A Song of Ice and Fire]] looks like this trope to a T - wears fancy clothes and perfume, and [[Giggling Villain|giggles constantly]]. {{spoiler|And then subverts this trope to hell and back, being a [[Master of Disguise]] and a [[Master Actor]], playing up the "sissy" aspect because that's what people expect to see - behind the perfume and giggles he's a [[Determinator]] who isn't afraid to [[What the Hell, Hero?|get all up]] [[Hannibal Lecture|in the hero's grill]]. Possibly the top [[Chessmaster]] in a series notorious for its [[Gambit Pileup]]. ''Damn.''}}

* Lord Pumphrey, a.k.a "Pumps" in [[Sharpe]]. Variously known as "the molly," "that woman," and believed to have [[Foe Yay|a crush on the hero.]] He is also one of the most effective [[Manipulative BastardsBastard]]s in the series, even mocking Sharpe to his face when confronted. He is, thus far, a well-earned [[Karma Houdini]].

* Parodied in an episode of ''[[Monty Python's Flying Circus (TV)|Monty Python's Flying Circus]]'', involving Special Investigator Lemming of the British Dental Association. Mad Dentist [[Super Villain]] "The Big Cheese" is played by Graham Chapman in one of his more flamboyant performances.

{{quote| "Flopsy's dead and never called me 'mother'."}}

* Captain John Hart of ''[[Torchwood (TV)|Torchwood]]'' is the ultimate aversion of this trope. Violent, evil, snarky, and can beat the crap out of anyone you care to name.

* Nevel in ''[[I Carly (TV)|I CarlyiCarly]]''. "Mother, run a bath!".

* Meemy [[Spell My Name Withwith an "S"|or thereabouts]] from ''[[Mahou Sentai Magiranger]]''. Imperious from ''[[Power Rangers Mystic Force]]'' was less so, though little attempt was made to hide the mannerisms (reminiscent of [[Power Rangers ZEOZeo|Queen Machina]], actually) and when he first took that form, he called it "beautiful." Both versions are pretty non-flirtatious, though, and certifiably able to reduce you to very small smithereens.

* Jim {{spoiler|Moriarty}} from ''[[Sherlock (TV)|Sherlock]]''. He's dressed to the nines and can be outright flaming, although he says he's {{spoiler|only playing gay}}.

* Ratallack of ''[[The Shadow Line (TV)|The Shadow Line]]''. He's an [[Camp Gay|extremely camp]] [[Gaynster]] who's ruthless enough that he'll {{spoiler|order the death of his own boyfriend to improve his position.}}

* [[Wrestling Doesn't Pay|"The Model"]] [[The Fighting Narcissist|Rick Martel]]

* "Dashing" [[Cody Rhodes]], before he [[Took a Level Inin Badass]]. He gave grooming tips and his [[Berserk Button]] was [[Not in Thethe Face|being hit in the face.]]

* Mr. Gently Benevolent in ''[[Bleak Expectations (Radio)|Bleak Expectations]]'' epitomises and parodies this trope whilst being [[Ambiguously Gay]].

*** This one ''really'' depends on the production--heproduction—he can be (and has been) anything from [[Wicked Cultured]] to a full-on transvestitecrossdresser in buttocks-baring leather pants.

* Depending on the actor, Herbert in ''[[Tanz Derder Vampire]]''. He's ''definitely'' at least bisexual, and ''is'' a vampire, but with time the show as a whole has been presenting him more and more sympathetically. (Some productions even hint that he'd be a better partner for the hero than the damsel-in-distress the hero's trying to rescue!)

** This is emphasized in his fight against Chun-Li in the ''[[Street Fighter II (Video Game)|Street Fighter II]]'' animé. He has the upper hand, yes, but she kicks him in the ''face'' like, once, and he starts crying and blubbing "My face!" in rage and starts getting sloppy.

* [[Viewer Gender Confusion|GOOD GOD]], [[Final Fantasy IX (Video Game)|KUJA]]. So much so he's the page image on [[Viewer Gender Confusion]]! Taken [[Up to Eleven]] in ''[[Dissidia]]'', where his main form of offense is ''slapping people in the face with giant balls.''

** [[Final Fantasy VI (Video Game)|Kefka]] may seem like one of these at first, but it soon becomes apparent that he is [[Monster Clown|much,]] [[Omnicidal Maniac|much,]] [[Complete Monster|MUCH]] worse.

* Genesis from ''[[Crisis Core]]''. Flamboyant hand gestures? Check. Campy [[Bishounen]] appearance? Check. [[Most Annoying Sound|Endless recital of pretentious poetry]]? ''Oh yeah''.

* And then the lovely people over at Square gave us ''[[Kingdom Hearts]]'', and the [[Big Bad]] of ''[[Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories (Video Game)|Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories]]'', Marluxia. This is a [[Bishonen|MAN]] (better get that straight right away) who's looks would put [[White -Haired Pretty Boy|Sephiroth]] to shame. He has long, [[Hair Colours|pink hair]], his [[Weapon of Choice]] is a Pink [[Sinister Scythe]], and his unique villainous ability is [[What Kind of Lame Power Is Heart, Anyway?|FLOWERS]]. [[Cherry Blossoms]] none the less... (The manga took this power one step further and had Marluxia scatter sakura petals with every move he made.) That of course, in Japanese mythology, cherry blossoms represents death, and in western mythology the scythe is the signature tool of the [[Grim Reaper]], so it might not be so strange that Marluxia, despite all the aforementioned sissyness, still manages to retain most of his manliness.

* One of the generals in ''[[Dynasty Warriors]] 6'' matches this trope perfectly. He belonged to the mostly-evil Wei Kingdom, fought wearing a skirt and makeup, was obsessed with beauty, and in the Sima Yi ending, he's the first to join Sima Yi in backstabbing the [[Well -Intentioned Extremist]], Cao Cao. That general's name? Zhang He.

* [[Resident Evil|Alfred. Ashford.]] Granted, his compulsion to dress up in women's clothing is due to a [[Psycho (Film)|Norman Bates-esque]] desire to emulate his {{spoiler|sister}}, but he's still prancing around in a dress and giggling.

** No, he's a [[Memetic Molester]]. Have you ''seen'' his reactions to [[Colonel Badass|Zelgius]]?

* General Lionwhyte from ''[[BrutalBrütal Legend (Video Game)|Brutal Legend]]''. His hair is so fabulous, he can actually use it to fly!

* Toyed with a bit in ''[[Vagrant Story]]''. Sydney seems like a pretty standard twinky Squaresoft villain at first, questionable outfit and everything. It turns out {{spoiler|he's not a villain. And he's really, really badass}}. Though he ''does'' briefly put his hand on Ashley's knee during the Atrium scene.

* [[Complete Monster|Cumore]] from ''[[Tales of Vesperia (Video Game)|Tales of Vesperia]]'', [[Camp Gay|Di]][[Single -Target Sexuality|st]] in ''[[Tales of the Abyss]]'', and [[Big Bad|Ygg]][[Light Is Not Good|dra]][[Well -Intentioned Extremist|sil]] in ''[[Tales of Symphonia (Video Game)|Tales of Symphonia]]''. To be fair, though, that last one is a ''lot'' more effective than most of the bad guys mentioned here, in no small part due to his [[Magnificent Bastard|Magnificent Bastardry]]ry and an [[Evil Plan]] that [[Xanatos Gambit|benefits him regardless of its outcome.]] as well as his eventual crossing of a pretty big [[Moral Event Horizon]], [[Fashion Victim Villain|even with his 80's disco suit]].

* ''[[Super Paper Mario (Video Game)|Super Paper Mario]]'''s [[The Caligula|King Croacus IV]] is a gigantic, sentient rose wearing makeup, and constantly talks about "beauuuuuuuty!" and has some sort of [[Verbal Tic]] about saying "oooooooo-weeeeeee-oooooooo!" He's also responsible for kidnapping a race of cavemen and enslaving them to work in his mines, digging up more jewels to add to his palace. {{spoiler|He was actually driven insane after drinking water polluted by said cavemen in an [[Anvilicious]] [[Green Aesop]]. Still, being driven crazy for some reason makes everything justifiable.}}

* Lord Ghirahim from [[The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword]]. His heart is full of rainbows! Also, he wears skintight clothing that only barely censors his nipples, he seems to be wearing white lipstick, and he enjoys approaching Link in molestacular poses. However, he has serious [[Mood Swinger]] tendencies, he's a demon (lord) with a blade, and the overall effect is less "sissy" and more "completely balls-out bonkers."

* Sergei from ''[[AsurasAsura's Wrath]]''. Effeminate looking, crazy, constantly relaying about the beauty of things, dresses like a drag queen, and has [[Steve Blum]] doing his best evil [[Gurren Lagann|Leeron]] voice.

* Bakura and Marik in ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!: theThe Abridged Series (Web Video)|Yu-Gi-Oh the Abridged Series]],'' who are [[Depraved Homosexual|gay]] and in the [[Transparent Closet]], respectively.

{{quote| '''Marik:''' Foolish fools! There are no women in ''Yu-Gi-Oh!'' There are only extremely girly men. ''And I am the most girly of them all!''<br />

* [[The Nostalgia Critic (Web Video)|The Nostalgia Critic]] also averted the [[Unfortunate Implications]]. He's weak, assholish, completely and irreparably fucked up and frequently [[Screams Like a Little Girl]], but his less-than-masculine aspects are just part of who he is.

* ''[[Star Wars: theThe Clone Wars]]'' has Jabba the Hutt's uncle, Ziro, whose voice was allegedly based on Truman Capote's.

* Stewie Griffin from ''[[Family Guy (Animation)|Family Guy]]'', especially in the earlier seasons. Not surprising, since he's a largely a [[Parody]] of various villain tropes.

** Him from ''[[The Powerpuff Girls (Animation)|The Powerpuff Girls]]''.

** The Red Guy from ''[[Cow and Chicken (Animation)|Cow and Chicken]]''. They're almost identical: swishy gay depictions of Satan. They met once in a commercial to hit on [[Johnny Bravo]] and plan to take over [[Cartoon Network]].

** The Robot Devil from ''[[Futurama (Animation)|Futurama]]''.

** ''[[South Park (Animation)|South Park]]'' -- except—except for the fact that ''South Park'''s [[Satan]] is more of a [[Hard Gay]] [[Anti -Villain]]...

* Jack Spicer in ''[[Xiaolin Showdown (Animation)|Xiaolin Showdown]]''. Frequently screams like a girl, to. Is even called a sissy in one episode, and accidently declares himself Queen of The Black Vipers, prompting looks from everyone.

* [[Lex Luthor]]'s pet iguana Ignatius from ''[[Krypto the Superdog (Animationanimation)|Krypto the Superdog]]'', even though he had a crush on a female iguana in one episode.

** That's just the thing, though--hethough—he ''isn't really a villain'', per se. Also, he's more [[Bishounen|bishie]] than sissy, IMHO.

* Necron from ''[[Fire and Ice (Filmanimation)|Fire and Ice]]'', he may look like a sissy but he has the ability to give [[Curb Stomp Battle|Curb Stomp Battles]]s to anyone foolish enough to attack him.

* Ard (in the "Den" vignette of ''[[Heavy Metal (Animationanimation)|Heavy Metal]]'': (singsong voice) "No-orl!"

* From ''[[He-Man and Thethe Masters of The Universe (Animation)|He-Man and The Masters of Thethe Universe]]'': Skeletor. Dude sounds like [[Camp Gay|Paul Lynde,]] I'm just sayin'.

* Starscream of ''[[Transformers]]'' moves up and down a Sliding Scale of Girlishness and Childishness depending on the series and translation, but is consistently <s> feminine</s> bitchy. [[She's a Man In Japan|Some have mistakenly made him a girl]], [[Transformers Animated|some]] [[Opposite SexGender Clone|have given him a female clone]], some have made him an outright giggling fool and some have even made him a somewhat serious air commander... with a childish attitude and a girlfriend to complain to about how his lord and master mistreats him. Expect every incarnation to be a narrow-waisted, whiny, flighty asshole prone to [[The Starscream|backstabbing]] his lord and master for insults and ambition.

{{quote| '''Knock Out''': I like the way I look in steel-belted radials<br />

** It should be noted that the original Cobra Commander and the original Starscream were voiced by the same actor, Chris Latta. CC and Screamer obviously partnered in ''[[G.I. Joe]]/[[Transformers]]'' crossovers, comic and cartoon. Chris Latta himself was a bit bitchy and ended up being fired for all the trouble he caused the studio.

* [[Complete Monster|The]] [[Wicked Weasel|Creeper]] from ''[[Animalia (Animation)|Animalia]]''. It's that super-lispy voice of his.
