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. |
