1 | '''Basic Trope''': People into bondage are portrayed as philosophical/intellectual. |
2 | * '''Straight''': Mistress Alice, a {{Dominatrix}}, is brilliant and philosophical. Bob is a CuteBookworm and is submissive. |
3 | ** Love-Slave Alice is highly intelligent. |
4 | * '''Exaggerated''': Mistress Alice isn't an ordinary dominatrix, but also an OmnidisciplinaryScientist with an ImprobablyHighIQ (possibly the highest among human race). And she uses [[ReedRichardsIsUseless her technological expertise (almost exclusively)]] [[MisappliedPhlebotinum to create mind-boggling BDSM machines]]! |
5 | * '''Downplayed''': Alice's sex life is suggested to involve a bit of light bondage, and she's college-educated and fairly bookish. She's neither a dungeon mistress nor a [=PhD=], though. |
6 | * '''Justified''': |
7 | ** She became a dominatrix to put herself through law school. |
8 | ** Mistress Alice likes the psychology behind it all. |
9 | ** Mistress Alice went to a highly liberal StrawmanU that exposed her to both deep philosophical concepts and kinky sex. |
10 | ** After a long day at the office, Alice finds relief in taking her frustrations out on Bob, or in him ordering her around. |
11 | * '''Inverted''': |
12 | ** Mistress Alice is TheDitz. |
13 | ** Alice is intelligent and entirely vanilla. |
14 | * '''Subverted''': Alice becomes a {{Dominatrix}} to put herself through law school, but discovers that she isn't into it, and quits the job. |
15 | * '''Double Subverted''': …because she wants to Dom for love, not money. |
16 | * '''Parodied''': All the high IQ society talks about is bondage. |
17 | * '''Zig Zagged''': Alice likes BSDM. She is noted as an amazing computer tech. But she then fumbles with a computer. Actually, the personal settings were odd. Not that it helped when they got changed. But that's because the data she needs is in a random place, so it just looked like Alice was stumbling around. |
18 | * '''Averted''': |
19 | ** CasualKink or BondageIsBad |
20 | ** Alice is not into bondage. |
21 | ** Alice is into bondage and isn't particularly intelligent. |
22 | * '''Enforced''': |
23 | ** "Our EvilGenius isn't quite scary enough." "Make her into bondage. That'll freak people out!" |
24 | ** "Alice is a great MsFanservice, but doesn't have enough personality outside of liking bondage. People might complain." "Well, maybe she's the smart one?" |
25 | * '''Lampshaded''': "Do you keep the bullwhip behind the [=PhD=]?" |
26 | * '''Invoked''': "We need somebody who is smart but also has a sexual notability." |
27 | * '''Exploited''': The villain uses BSDM in order to get the smart one to work for them by displaying an apparent comfort to them. |
28 | * '''Defied''': Alice is smart, but the only reason she has the mask is to scare people, she really dislikes unnecessary pain. |
29 | * '''Discussed''': "So you're into some pretty kinky stuff, then? Why is it always the smart ones?"\ |
30 | "That's actually the subject of my thesis!" |
31 | * '''Conversed''': "How come kinky characters are always either evil or these total ivory-tower intellectual types?" |
32 | * '''Deconstructed''': Because of her intelligence and bondage fetish, Mistress Alice has trouble finding friends or romantic partners, and feels doubly isolated. |
33 | * '''Reconstructed''': In her desperation, she puts aside her not-dating-coworkers rule. She finds that several of her coworkers at the lab are also into BDSM, ''because'' they're as smart as her. |
34 | * '''Implied''': |
35 | ** Alice is shown to be very smart. At one point, someone finds handcuffs in her closet. |
36 | ** Alice is a dominatrix, and little attention is paid to her intelligence. However, when one of her lovers quotes Nietzsche, she gets the reference. |
