Bespectacled Bastard Boyfriend: Difference between revisions

fantasy of a strong, very desirable, dominant male who has (or wants) complete control over his partner, especially sexually, and the domination and [[Romanticized Abuse|emotional abuse is intended to be sexy]] (and usually [[Victim Falls For Rapist|an expression of romantic feelings]]). Thus, if you are a good-looking male character who wears glasses, some fans will turn you into this, regardless of your personality.

 

 

A Bespectacled Bastard Boyfriend typically has a cool, sophisticated, or commanding way of speaking, an [[Psychotic Smirk|evil little smile]], and an [[Man of Wealth and Taste|expensive suit]]. Expect lots of [[Victim Falls For Rapist]] or the PG-rated equivalent. They are popular in media directed at a [[Shoujo Demographic|female]] [[Boys Love Genre|audience]].

The parent trope is [[Bastard Boyfriend]] (the "kichiku" part of ''kichiku megane''). See also [[Evil Is Sexy]] and [[All Girls Want Bad Boys]], which are the foundations of this character. For calm, sweet guys with glasses, see [[Stoic Spectacles]]. For nasties in glasses minus the kinky romance angle, see [[Four Eyes, Zero Soul]]. Occasionally exhibit [[Scary Shiny Glasses]], but also has a high chance of having [[Sexy Spectacles]].

 

{{examples}}

 

* Michio Yuki, ''[[MW]]'''s [[Villain Protagonist]], torments his lover, Garai, quite extensively. It's debatable whether he's actually in love with Garai, however.

** And another triumphant example from [[Osamu Tezuka]]'s [[Darker and Edgier]] phase, Dr. Urabe from ''[[Ode to Kirihito]]''. He is rather tortured and guilt-ridden about all the raping he did, though.

** It should be noted that any discussion on Jade's sexuality will be [[Fanon]] at best -- the game itself presents him as effectively [[Asexual]], with the exception of one ''very'' [[Does This Remind You of Anything?]] round of (off-screen) [[Jack Bauer Interrogation Technique]] with his [[Unknown Rival]] that *sounds* like a round of [[Black Comedy Rape]].

* Ono in ''[[Antique Bakery]]'', when in "predatory gay guy" mode. He's quite nice, otherwise.

** OTOH, {{spoiler|it's later explained why he acts like this (it's...VERY complicated), and upon being defeated by Ala Alba, he has a [[Heel Face Turn]].}}

* Satoshi from ''~D.N.Angel~'' is very much like this trope when he's first introduced, although it's later revealed that he has a reason for being cold.

** Tatsumi certainly ''looks'' the part, although, in practice, he is actually a decent person (if quite the [[Frozen Flower]]). And since he cares a lot for Tsuzuki, Tatsumi is '''most''' unhappy about Muraki's little fixation with him.

* Another comedic [[Boys Love]] version: [[Student Council President]] Azuma from ''Love Is Like A Hurricane'' expresses his affection for Mizuki by molesting him relentlessly.

* The final character design of Ogata from [[Hikaru no Go]] ''looks'' like one of these, especially when wearing the white suit he apparently uses for all formal occasions, and is, at best, a [[Deadpan Snarker]]. Since he gets obsessed with the lead's connection to 'Sai', the netgo star who's really a ghost playing through the kid, he also gets pedo vibes, and that's enough for large segments of the fandom to see him as this.

** He's actually visibly a very proud, ''deeply'' socially awkward, and highly selfish geeky guy in his thirties, whose personal life extends to his old sensei and his tropical fish, but as the only living, attractive, fully-adult male in the show, he became a bit of an [[Mr. Fanservice]] piece, and the fans invoked this trope.

* Another [[Boys Love]] example is in Kawabata's behavior towards Misaki in ''[[Hana no Mizo Shiru]]''. He had a quasi-relationship with Misaki in the past, but left him for a woman - and afterwards, proceeds to call him constantly, interrogate him about any acquaintances he makes, taunt him about his sexuality, and nearly choke him at one point (though accidentally). {{spoiler|And then in Chapter 11 he narrowly stops himself from forcing himself on Misaki.}} And yeah, sure enough, he wears glasses.

 

== New Media ==

* [http://utau.wikia.com/wiki/Ted_Kasane Kasane Ted], UTAUloid's [http://utau.wikia.com/wiki/Teto_Kasane Teto Kasane]'s male genderbend, is this to such an extent that he has a [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BLIXRVAw0YU BDSM parody song of Meltdown].

 

 

== Video Games ==

** The game is named after the Japanese trope name and specifically invokes it in the most literal sense possible: a clueless dork who can't get a date receives magic glasses that turn him into a commanding [[Seme]] who gets whatever he wants, especially [[Victim Falls For Rapist|in bed]]. Check out [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oM76jE-KNK0 the trailer] (slightly [[NSFW]]) to see them in action.

** While the main character, Katsuya, is the most prominent example, ''anyone'' who wears glasses in this series counts. Next best example is resident [[Horny Devils|incubus]] Mr. R (who created the titular glasses) and, later, Sawamura, Katsuya's former childhood friend.

* Spray, the creators of ''[[Gakuen Heaven]]'' and ''Kichiku Megane'', really love this trope. (Or, in these cases, scenario writer Tamami who wrote both games really loves it). It also appears in their other [[Boys Love]] games ''Piyotan'' and ''Steal.''

* Kristoph Gavin from ''[[Apollo Justice]]'', in lots and lots of fanfic. In [[Canon]], he's {{spoiler|the [[Big Bad]]}}.
