* '''Played For Drama''': Alice's Gayngst is a weak point that [[ManipulativeBastard Bob]] exploits to manipulate her; a few choice lies here or there, [[FalseFlagOperation a well-placed molotov through her window before offering to help her rebuild]], constant disparaging of "breeders" in his conversations with her and insisting that nobody but him can understand her, until it boils into full-blown misanthropy that Bob can direct where he pleases. [[MinionManipulatedIntoVillainy Alice ends up Bob's]] [[TheDragon most fanatical and dangerous lackey]].

** Alice is a "queer elder" who went through Gayngst as a young lesbian years ago, and is frustrated when she feels as though young queers who do not have to go through the same level of oppression and misery she went through. This leads to a disconnect between her and gay communities which skew younger.

** Alice was raised in a deeply conservative and homophobic household and, after realising that she's a lesbian, starts to suffer from self-loathing because her [[InternalizedCategorism internalised homophobia]] leads her to feel that she's a dirty, sinful and a bad person.

* '''Played For Laughs''': Alice sees Gayngst as a rite-of-passage, and is shocked...nay, ''offended'' when her tragic fantasy doesn't play out: her parents and friends see no issue with her sexuality, she doesn't lose her job or end up the victim of a hate crime and her life just goes on as normal. She ends up trying to actively invoke this, grasping at straws and [[EverythingIsRacist finding homophobia in literally everything,]] coming off as an irritating, {{wangst}}y buffoon to gay and straight people alike in her antics.
