* ''Webcomic/ThePrincesssJewels'': The webcomic is about Princess Ariana, whos mission in the comic is to collect a bunch of beautiful men to make a RoyalHarem. Over the course of her adventure, she pulls her chosen men away from their lives and their homes, treats them like objects for her own amusement, and even threatens a ColdWar between her country and another if they don't do what she says. The critics in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZBDOztc0L78 this video]] rip the premise to pieces, pointing out how nobody would like this comic if it were about a man doing this to a bunch of women. Of course, [[DoubleStandard since it's about a woman doing this to a bunch of men, that makes it okay]].

* ''Literature/SwordArtOnline'' gets this a lot regarding its use of RapeAsDrama.
** Mother's Basement [[https://youtu.be/Oz-BjFoVa9o?t=20m39s had some choice words]] about Asuna's two sexual assaults, calling them unnecessary in the context of the plot and pointing out how uncomfortable it was to play her AttemptedRape for {{Fanservice}}.
** Megan Peters [[https://comicbook.com/anime/2018/12/13/sword-art-online-anime-sexual-assault-rape-explanation-story/ has also criticized]] the series’ repeated use of AttemptedRape of female characters by the villains as a plot device to motivate the male heroes, saying that the women are "[left] to suffer for misogynistic silence". The article features snippets of an interview with series creator Reki Kawahara, who agrees with the criticism and admits that he only used this trope because it was fairly common in light novels at the time he wrote the story. He felt that a certain scene in ''Alicization'' was far more unpleasant to watch in animated form as a result, and apologized to everyone (directors, animators, & voice actresses) involved for having to do something so demeaning.

* ''Manga/DeathNote'' has [[https://www.animefeminist.com/the-wasted-potential-of-death-notes-women/ attracted]] [[http://theevaluationzone.blogspot.com/2014/11/top-ten-reasons-why-i-hate-death-note.html fire]] [[https://theathenaeumbooks.wordpress.com/2020/06/21/the-inherent-misogyny-in-death-note/ for]] implicit misogyny. This started with the brief tenure in the story of former Naomi Misora, a former FBIAgent who is briefly shown to be a talented investigator (and got an ExpansionPackPast in the {{prequel}})... but whose concerns are dismissed by her active-duty fiancee Raye Penber (even her English voice actor Creator/TabithaStGermain criticized that scene) and then unceremoniously killed off by Light. The only other female character in the series with any agency worth mentioning is Misa Amane, an AxCrazy fangirl of VillainProtagonist Light whose presence in the story is almost entirely counterproductive to everyone involved, and whom even while dating her to keep her around for his use, he openly cheats on with his high school flame Kiyomi Takada--who doesn't fare any better herself, being made by Light to kill Mello and then [[SelfImmolation burn herself to death]].
