Line #32 PlayingWith/DepravedHomosexual


1	'''Basic Trope''': The villain is gay, and his sexuality motivates a lot of his evil behavior.
2	* '''Straight''': A gay villain with uncomfortable, [[VillainousCrush one-sided sexually predatory obsession]] with the hero.
3	* '''Exaggerated''':
4	** All and only evil characters are gay, and they all make unwelcome advances to any straight guy they meet.
5	** You can tell any person's moral standing from where they are on the JustForFun/{{Kinsey Scale\|OfTropes}}.
6	* '''Downplayed''':
7	** The villain is gay and he's evil, but his homosexuality has nothing to do with how he is evil. His henchmen might not even know about his preference, unless explicitly told.
8	** Bob is a gay CasanovaWannabe and a mostly harmless {{Troll}}.
9	** The evil gay characters are [[CampGay more sexual]] and [[AgentPeacock flamboyant]], and the good gay characters are [[StraightGay far more subtle]].
10	** Bob is an AffablyEvil NobleDemon.
11	* '''Justified''':
12	** The story takes place in a CrapsackWorld AfterTheEnd where ''everyone'' has to be completely depraved just to survive.
13	** Being gay doesn't make characters any less susceptible to TheDarkSide.
14	** The villain used to be a good person, but when he came out as Gay everyone discriminated against him and at one point tried to lynch him. Eventually he snapped, declared ThenLetMeBeEvil, and made a FaceHeelTurn. Being gay didn't directly make him evil, but the anti-homosexuality discrimination he faced was the FreudianExcuse that drove him to the dark side.
15	* '''Inverted''':
16	** TheHero is gay, while [[PoliticallyIncorrectVillain the villain]] is a [[HeteronormativeCrusader virulent homophobe.]]
17	** Alternatively, the villain is a depraved ''hetero''sexual, and is defined by making the ActionGirl ''really'' uncomfortable.
18	** The villain is [[TheVamp a slutty straight chick]] whose unwanted advances make the gay hero very uncomfortable.
19	* '''GenderInverted''': PsychoLesbian
20	* '''Subverted''':
21	** The SissyVillain is introduced... [[CampStraight as is his]] DarkMistress.
22	** The villain was only pretending to be gay and attracted to the hero to get under the hero's skin.
23	** At first he seems like this trope, but it is revealed later in the story that the villain is a HeroAntagonist and that the "hero" is [[VillainProtagonist the real bad guy]].
24	** The gay villain isn't evil because he’s gay, but because [[UnsexySadist he treats his boyfriend horribly]].
25	* '''Double Subverted''':
26	** ...Who is actually TheBeard.
27	** It turns out that he really is gay, and his feelings for the hero are genuine.
28	** The Gay HeroAntagonist is still a GoodIsNotNice AntiHero who, while not raping straight men, still commits less-severe sexual harassment and purposely makes them feel uncomfortable. When called out by his coworkers, the Gay HeroAntagonist replies "[[DigitalPiracyIsEvil If they wanted to play nice, they shouldn't have become pirates.]]"
29	* '''Parodied''':
30	** The gay villain relies on the support of psychotic YaoiFangirl mooks.
31	** The gay villain has a phallic theme to all his phlebotinum.
32	* '''Zig Zagged''':
33	** The villain is a depraved heterosexual and probably a pervert. He makes the ActionGirl really uncomfortable, so she [[MegatonPunch bashes his face in every time he makes an advance.]] This turns him gay due to [[DoubleStandardAbuseFemaleOnMale all the abuse]]. He then squicks out the hero, who is all like "Um... No", so the villain either becomes [[NoLoveForTheWicked asexual]] or [[DepravedBisexual bisexual]]...or something.
34	** The villain acts in a CampGay way, flirts with the hero, and gets in his personal space. Then we meet his DarkMistress. She is later discovered to be TheBeard for the villain, who really is gay. He doesn't actually want to have sex with the hero, however, as that was just to unnerve and intimidate him. He ends up in a loving and committed relationship and stops the flirtatious behavior out of respect for his partner, but remains an antagonist to the hero.
35	* '''Averted''': Gay characters who aren't villains, no gay characters at all or incidental homosexuality.
36	* '''Enforced''':
37	** The production code treats homosexual behaviour as a moral problem so the writer is obliged to cast any homosexual character as a villain.
38	** [[HeteronormativeCrusader The creator is an anti-gay bigot.]]
39	* '''Lampshaded''': "See, this is how I roll: I'm the "predatory gay" type and any guy whose backdoor remains unvisited is my prey. Any questions? "
40	* '''Invoked''': TheFundamentalist tries to paint a gay character in the most depraved light possible.
41	* '''Exploited''': The villain is a NobleDemon who just happens to be gay ... but the hero's employers lie and paint the villain as a gay rapist to prevent the hero from showing mercy.
42	* '''Defied''':
43	** "Look, dude, just because I'm gay and working for the EvilOverlord doesn't mean I want to fuck you. Stop flattering yourself. [[PunchClockVillain I'm just a guy doing my job]]. Now, are we going to sit around talking all day or are we going to fight?"
44	* '''Discussed''': "Fighting horny gays is like listening to your parents talking about their sex life: it's awkward for everyone involved".
45	* '''Conversed''': A queer theory class is discussing the portrayal of gays in fiction.
46	* '''Implied''': A SitcomArchNemesis is AmbiguouslyGay and smiles at the hero just a bit too much.
47	* '''Deconstructed''': Non-depraved gay characters are afraid to come out because it will make people associate them with the villain.
48	* '''Reconstructed''':
49	** The DepravedHomosexual drops the hostility and begins a happy and fulfilling relationship with [[ClosetKey Harry]], which gives him [[LoveRedeems a new outlook on life]] and leads him toward a HeelFaceTurn.
50	** Or instead, the villain, [[VillainousCrush in love with the hero]], ultimately decides not to use his Ultimate Doom Machine Of Doom to destroy humanity and [[BuryYourGays dies to save our hero's life]].
51	* '''Played For Laughs''': The villain who happens to be gay smiles at the hero a little too much just to annoy him, because he's a massive {{Troll}} and the hero is a HeteronormativeCrusader who reacts with disgust each time.
