Line #19 PlayingWith/DepravedBisexual


1	'''Basic Trope''': A character's bisexuality underscores their villainous and/or [[AxCrazy psychotic]] nature.
2	* '''Straight''': An evil bisexual is introduced and grosses everyone out because of their proclivities towards both genders.
3	* '''Exaggerated''':
4	** The villain parades around in fetish gear the entire film, nearly always with multiple men and women under their arm.
5	** A villainous ExtremeOmnisexual.
6	* '''Downplayed''':
7	** A bisexual character is a bit promiscuous, morbid, and abnormal, but not outright evil.
8	** The character's willingness to seduce both genders for his goals shows just how ruthless he is.
9	** The character isn't necessarily a ''villain'', but doesn't seem to have standards, boundaries, or a sense of appropriateness.
10	** A bisexual character is a villain, but has [[AntiVillain sympathetic and/or redeeming qualities]].
11	** The villain is AmbiguouslyBi.
12	* '''Justified''':
13	** It has already been established in the work that EveryoneIsBi, so that includes the villains as well.
14	** Alternatively, the villain is a [[TheSociopath sociopathic]], [[TheHedonist hedonistic]], and utterly amoral [[{{Pun}} trisexual]] -- they only care about their pleasure, and not a thing about who or what is being used, willingly or not, in the process.
15	** [[WhosLaughingNow The reason they are evil is because they were shunned for being bisexual.]]
16	** The villain is not so much "bisexual" as "[[CombatSadomasochist has an all-consuming paraphilia for stabbing people with knives.]]"
17	** Everyone on the show is depraved in some way, regardless of their sexuality.
18	* '''Inverted''':
19	** The show's bisexuals are actually the least depraved of the whole cast.
20	** A character's bisexuality underscores their heroic nature.
21	** NoLoveForTheWicked.
22	* '''Subverted''':
23	** The bisexual villain turns out to be GoodAllAlong.
24	** The villain is TheVamp, and [[PragmaticPansexuality their bisexuality is an act]].
25	** The "[[NonIndicativeName Depraved Bisexual]]" is actually CampStraight.
26	* '''Double Subverted''':
27	** ...but then [[FaceHeelTurn turns on the heroes]] once they've [[MacguffinDeliveryService gotten what they were after]].
28	** ...or at least that's what (s)he says.
29	** Upon further consideration, the villain realises they have tastes for both genders...[[SissyVillain while remaining as camp and as evil as ever.]]
30	* '''Parodied''':
31	** The bisexual character immediately tries to have sex with anyone who antagonizes them.
32	** The hero has a [[DatingCatwoman massive crush on the villain,]] and [[NightmareFetishist fantasizes about the terrible things the latter will do to them...]] Much to the villain's consternation, as he plays both teams [[NobleDemon but is otherwise a decent person.]]
33	* '''Zig Zagged''': A bisexual character [[HeelFaceRevolvingDoor appears to be a hero and a villain at different point]] throughout the story.
34	* '''Averted''':
35	** NoBisexuals or most cases of extreme omnisexuality.
36	** The bisexual villain [[EvenEvilHasStandards doesn't mix their evil with sex]] or [[ChivalrousPervert their sex with evil]], and no parallel is drawn between these two traits.
37	** The villains sexuality is never addressed.
38	* '''Enforced''': "This isn't a gay show. If you're using bisexuals, [[DoubleStandard either make them evil if they're men, or make them]] {{Fanservice}} [[GirlOnGirlIsHot fodder if they're female]]".
39	** The work was written in the age [[ValuesDissonance before such things were considered acceptable.]]
40	* '''Lampshaded''': "You're bisexual? Why am I not surprised?"
41	-->'''HeroProtagonist''' ''[[StopBeingStereotypical Wow, talk about setting sexual equality back fifty years.]]''
42	--> '''DepravedBisexual:''' ''[[BlahBlahBlah Oh, bitch bitch bitch.]]''
43	* '''Invoked''': The evil empire starts recruiting bisexuals into their armies.
44	* '''Exploited''': Characters looking for a villain who works behind the scenes consider a character's loud bisexuality a red flag.
45	* '''Defied''': "Look, what I do in bed is one thing, what I believe is right is another".
46	* '''Discussed''': "I should have known better... He/She's bisexual after all. Not a good omen in general".
47	* '''Conversed''': "Why is there so few sympathetic bisexuals on TV?" "Because it's too confusing for many people".
48	* '''Deconstructed''':
49	** Because everyone believes bisexuals are evil by nature, when a bisexual character is introduced, they are shunned by everyone.
50	** [[WhosLaughingNow The reason they are evil is because they were shunned for being bisexual.]]
51	* '''Reconstructed''': Despite their initial refusal, the good characters eventually give the bisexual character a chance.
