Line #43 PlayingWith/DoubleStandardRapeFemaleOnFemale


1	'''Basic Trope''': Women who sexually assault other women are viewed as a form of sexual appeal or treated as "not worth fretting over". [[SarcasmMode Because there's no such thing as lesbian rape]].
2	* '''Straight''': Alice rapes her roommate, Brittany. Nobody believes Brittany when she tells about it or she's told that it's "not that bad" or [[GirlOnGirlIsHot that it's "hot"]].
3	* '''Exaggerated''':
4	** Alice is a serial sex-offender who was never convicted or even suspected because she's a woman who targets women.
5	** Charles, one of Alice's acquaintances, hears about her ways and goes: "You rape other women? THAT'S SO HOT! [[PassThePopcorn CAN I WATCH?]]"
6	** Even Brittany herself [[RomanticizedAbuse ends up thinking the rape was all right]], [[NotIfTheyEnjoyedItRationalization or even a positive experience]].
7	** Alice and Charles rape Brittany equally brutally. [[TheUnfairSex Charles]] [[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil is demoted to full irredeemable status]], while what Alice did to Brittany is considered "hot", both by other characters and the narrative.
8	** Even the lesbians of the setting see nothing wrong with Alice raping Brittany, and also want in on it.
9	* '''Downplayed''': Alice sexually harasses Brittany, and it's treated as not as bad as if the perpetrator had been a man.
10	* '''Justified''': Because women can't penetrate other women without using a sex-toy, it's believed that the expression "lesbian rape" is an aberration or even an oxymoron.
11	* '''Inverted''':
12	** Rape is ''only'' serious if it's female on female.
13	** PsychoLesbian: when all lesbian attractions are portrayed as horrible and evil as rape.
14	* '''GenderInverted''': DoubleStandardRapeMaleOnMale
15	* '''Subverted''':
16	** Alice is about to rape Brittany again but [[WillNotBeAVictim Brittany fights back]] and succeeds to have Alice convicted for assault...
17	** After Exaggerated #2, it's revealed that Charles is a rapist himself, and both Alice and he are considered horrible people.
18	** Brittany confides in her lesbian friend Debbie, who is appropriately horrified.
19	* '''Double Subverted''':
20	** ... but in jail, Alice just [[PrisonRape continues her ways on other female inmates]] which is ignored or even watched by male guards.
21	** Until the writers [[ExecutiveMeddling get replaced by a new team]] who {{Retool}} the story into a sexy lesbian porn comedy... without actually changing the story, just how it’s presented.
22	** But Alice is actually Andy, and got a [[UsefulNotes/{{Transgender}} gender confirmation surgery]] to avoid any prosecution. Therefore, what he and Charles did was evil [[TheUnfairSex because they’re both men.]]
23	* '''Parodied''':
24	** Alice rapes Brittany and gets rewarded for it.
25	** Alice ''brutally murders'' Brittany. This is seen as hot.
26	* '''Zig Zagged''':
27	** [[KarmaHoudini Some female rapists]] get away with it, others do not.
28	** The stance on female-on-female rape changes DependingOnTheWriter.
29	* '''Averted''': Officer Emily takes Brittany's story seriously, finds out about Alice's ways and, utterly grossed out, promptly heads out to detain Alice.
30	* '''Enforced''': “It's a lesbian porn flick, what'd you expect?”
31	* '''Lampshaded''':
32	--> '''Charles''': Brittany, I don't see what's so terrible about it. What's the worse thing a woman can do to another woman anyway? It's not like you were raped or something...
33	* '''Invoked''':
34	--> '''Brittany''': I can't share this with the police. They’re all men; You know how they feel about lesbians and it would only arouse them.
35	* '''Exploited''':
36	--> '''Alice''': No man would convict me if I rape another woman, since no one would care what she would think of it. Therefore, I have a full playground just for me!
37	* '''Defied''':
38	--> '''Brittany''': Taking advantage of a DoubleStandard to have your way with unwilling women? Alice, you're disgusting. I'll call the police on you.
39	** The HeteronormativeCrusader discover that Alice rapes Brittany and whether Brittany is straight or closeted, they severely punish Alice.
40	* '''Discussed''':
41	--> '''Charles''': Don't be ridiculous, Brittany! How can a woman ''possibly'' rape another woman? With her tiny little fingers?
42	* '''Conversed''': "Lesbian rape is just too fetishy to be treated seriously."
43	* '''Implied''': Brittany talks about her first sexual experience in a way that implies it was rape, yet it’s played for comedy.
44	* '''Plotted A Good Waste''': The author is sick of this and [[FanDisservice deliberately writes the most disgusting, unappealing lesbian rape scene they can]]; even though it’s considered sexy in-universe, the audience is [[IntendedAudienceReaction meant to be revolted]].
45	* '''Deconstructed''': Brittany tells her story to several friends, only to find out that female-on-female rape only revolts women. Men on the other hand find it "cute", "sexy" or "not that serious". As a result, she lashes out violently at any woman who tries to make passes at her and also forms a strong contempt of [[GirlOnGirlIsHot the men who like and encourage them]].
46	* '''Reconstructed''':
47	** Eventually, Brittany decides [[VigilanteWoman to take matters in her own hands]] and devises a scheme to convict Alice or to simply keep her at bay.
48	** Brittany uses her rape backstory as a FreudianExcuse of being a HeteronormativeCrusader and/or a FemaleMisogynist, and believes all lesbians are PsychoLesbian.
49	* '''Played For Laughs''': BlackComedyRape.
50	* '''Played For Drama''':
51	** People in the story possess the DoubleStandard but the writers don't. It's shown to be emotionally traumatizing to Brittany.
52	** Furious that her rape was dismissed as "sexy", Brittany becomes virulently homophobic.
