Double Standard Rape (Sci Fi): Difference between revisions

Can frequently occur in variants of [[Aliens Made Them Do It]] and the [[Bed Trick]]. [[Fridge Logic]] points out that [[Love Potion]]s that lead to sex may fall under this. Compare [[Getting Smilies Painted on Your Soul]] for manipulation that can be used in this way. Contrast [[Safe, Sane, and Consensual]] as well as [[Free-Love Future]] and [[Ethical Slut]]. See also [[Double Standard Rape (Divine on Mortal)]].

 

 

{{examples}}

 

* The entire reason [[Naughty Tentacles]] were infamously used in ''[[Urotsukidouji]]'' was to bypass censorship laws restricting the portrayal of male genitalia in Japanese pornography.

* ''[[Tenchi Muyo!|Tenchi Forever]]'' is awfully sympathetic to a woman whose lonely soul just couldn't help remembering her lost love... by making his grandson Tenchi think he's married to her.

* [[Love Potion]]s are also illegal in the magical society of ''[[Zero no Tsukaima]]'', for the same reasons as in ''Mahou Sensei Negima''.

 

* A partial use and partial aversion in ''[[She Hulk]]'' where Starfox is tried for rape, being accused by a married woman who had sex with him while under the influence of his psychic hormones. He is also accused of doing this to She-Hulk although it turns out he didn't. May not fully count because there's not much sign that he actually uses pheromones like that prior to this story.

** It was eventually resolved by having a reveal that Thanos had brain-damaged him so that he lost conscious control of his powers, but that he never consciously used his powers that way on anyone who wasn't already looking for a casual sex partner.

* In an issue of ''[[Spider-Man]]'', the Chameleon pretends to be Peter Parker and has sex with Peter's roommate. The resulting [[Internet Backlash]] lead the writer to hastily [[Retcon]] it into just making out but it still left a bad taste in the fans' mouths.

* In the [[Filk Song]] ''[[Banned From Argo]]'' by Leslie Fish, in which the crew of the [[Star Trek|Enterprise]] get, well, [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|banned from Argo]] [[Double Standard Rape (Female on Male)|Nurse Chapel]] uses an "odd green potion guaranteed to cause [[Mate or Die|Pon Farr]]" to take advantage of Spock. This is [[Played for Laughs]] and treated no more seriously than Scotty and Chekov's drunken parking violation.

* In the ''[[World of Warcraft]]'' comics, {{spoiler|Katrana Prestor/Onyxia}} magically enthralls {{spoiler|Varian Wrynn}} and sets herself up as his lover. What he thinks of it after he breaks free is never touched on.

** It's worth pointing that he did {{spoiler|get to kill her shortly afterwards, which may have helped. Closure, and all that.}}

 

== Web Comics ==

* This has been stated by [[Word of God]] as a big part of the humour in ''[[Ghastlys Ghastly Comic]]''. The artist said he's iffy about rape jokes involving realistic situations, but since nobody in real life has ever actually had their life ruined by [[Naughty Tentacles]], he feels okay joking about it. It helps that the tentacle monsters have human-level intelligence and understand things like consent, so nobody in the comic actually does get raped, outside of fantasy sequences.

* A possible in-universe case occurs in ''[[Drowtales]]'', where Snadhya'rune Vel'Sharen has her friend Wiam Val'Jaal'darya [[spoiler:get one of her lover Mel'arnach's eggs under false pretenses (Mel was under the impression it was for an experiment, which while [[From a Certain Point of View|technically true]] was still deceptive), and uses it [[Homosexual Reproduction|to make their daughter Kalki]] without Mel knowing until years later]]. Of course try telling that to Snadhya's [[Draco in Leather Pants|fans]], or {{spoiler|Mel'arnach}} for that matter, who seems to realize on some level what Snadhya did but decides to [[Love Martyr|ignore the implications]].
