Unwanted Harem: Difference between revisions

Line 12:

This is about a certain common reaction of men when a Harem plot begins, and women start fighting for the attention—He might either think like a [[Celibate Hero]], that the gratuitous amounts of boobs he is forced to see every day are just a bother, [[Comically Missing the Point]] that he is in an enviable situation, [[Official Couple|or as an obstacle between him and the girl he truly likes.]]

The more likely reasoning plot wise, is the fact that the male lead cannot reciprocate all the girls feelings without seeming to the audience to be cruel, manipulative, and giving false leads to the many beautiful girls. So the far easier solution is to make him oblivious to their affection or [[Cursed with Awesome]].

So the far easier solution is to make him oblivious to their affection or [[Cursed with Awesome]].

Even if he does like one or more of the girls, the young man won't or can't admit it. Besides, until the point comes where one of the girls is in danger, the young man would [[I Just Want to Be Normal|rather have his nice quiet life back]]. May or may not involve [[Innocent Cohabitation]].

* [[media:LegionRomanceSplash.jpg|This]] ''[[Legion of Super-Heroes (comics)|Legion of Super-Heroes]]'' comic panel. Though it's a [[Subverted Trope|subversion]], as the girls actually trying to make [[Superman|Jimmy Olsen's]] girlfriend jealous.

* Subverted in ''[[Y: The Last Man]]'' where just about every woman Yorick comes across is either trying to kill him or capture him as a bargaining chip.

* [[Deconstructed Trope]] and then [[Reconstructed Trope]] with the [[Higurashi no Naku Koro ni|Higurashi cast]] backstory in ''[[Kyon: Big Damn Hero]]''. {{spoiler|Also, Kyon's harem has grown by at least three.}}

* Exactly fits with Avarian from '[[The God of Death]]' (Warhammer-Warcraft crossover), a Space Marine (with a Space Marine character) who picked up a nightelf, a bloodelf, a highelf, two human females and even a forsaken (undead) elf, almost all bearing romantic feelings towards him, without Avarian noticing ~~ANYTHING~~ (being a Space Marine, he just picked them up because he thought they would be useful on his quest, he himself is totally unaware of the emotion called 'love' and, much unlike his companions think, does not bear the 'male weak-minded crave-for-female-flesh'-lust) This is going to be fun.

* [[In Flight]]: ~~AND~~ ~~HOW~~! ~~Lets~~ break it down. In Flight is a crossover between Sekerei and Fate/Stay Night. You see where this is going? Shirou has Rin and Saber who he has been going steady with for 2 years now back in London. Akitsu joins and quickly develops radical levels of devotion to him. Then Musubi, Then Matsu, then Tsukiumi. On top of this if the author continues as he has been there will be Kazehana still to come. On top of ~~THIS~~ it is possible that Yukari is also interested. Added up to the fact that none of them have any idea as to his status as a Mage or the nature of Saber and Rin, regarding them as a old pair of exes that he broke up with. In short Shirou has got himself into an inescapable position. At this point in the fic there is no way out without breaking somebody's heart.
