* ''VideoGame/SpiderManMilesMorales'': After the destruction of the Braithwaite Bridge, Roxxon's security forces hold Miles at gunpoint and attempt to detain him in spite of the fact that he saved people's lives, one guard even going so far as to smack a bystander's phone out of her hand when she starts recording the encounter. Later on, [[spoiler: after Krieger captures Miles and Phin to get the location of the stolen Nuform from them,]] one of the guards present smugly points out there's no cameras around before he and his partner start beating Miles with their electrified batons. The parallels to police brutality couldn't be any more obvious.

*** In ''[[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIIRebirth Rebirth]]'', [[https://youtu.be/rrGQFGPtwBI Aerith's Cosmo Canyon]] speech about how she has suffered all her life simply for being born different [[note]](born an ancient)[[/note]] has obvious parallells in the treatment of LGBT+ folks, and many of the expriences they may have in life.

Those first and last examples are MASSIVE stretches that are almost certainly unintentional. Plus, whoever added that first example is just… ew.


** ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime'': Quite a noticeable one. The boy in the Kokiri forest that is trying to pick up the rock looks quite questionable.



** ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTwilightPrincess'': Those noises Link makes as he's turning into a wolf for the first time sounds more like he's having sex.

* ''VideoGame/RumbleRoses'' had a number of suggestive wrestling moves but none more than youngster Black Belt Demon's "Windmill" humiliation move. From a standing position, she spreads the other girl's legs wide apart and then gets between their legs, before thrusting her hips hard and repeatedly into the opponent's crotch. In the sequel game, the Windmill had been replaced with far less risqué "Wild Courtesan's Dance".

** The whole premise of a man rescuing a girl from a tower that is guarded by a a nightmarish flying beast who functions both as a protector and a jailer is reminiscent of a common FairyTale setup. However, it goes way beyond that; Elizabeth bears more than a passing resemblance to Belle from Beauty and the Beast, and Lady Comstock's glass coffin brings to mind Snow White's coffin.

** [[BigBad Hazama]] seemingly [[{{Troll}} mocks]] this trope with his snake-like projectile weapon, Ouroboros. The poses he strikes and where the frickin' thing appears from simply cannot be chalked up as mere coincidence. There's also the fact that one of his sound bytes is "Check out my snake!" ...And then there's, of course, all the innuenduos talk in Phase Shift 1, when his ghost merges with his body... Dear '''GOD'''. He also approaches Litchi and offers to "make her forget about [Arakune]", which the overanalytical mind can easily portray as a blatant {{cuckold}} attempt.

It's been around since the beginning of time and there's nothing that can put it down. [[spoiler:In other words, it represents the cancer that is killing Jimmy in real life.]]

** The game: ''VideoGame/DissidiaFinalFantasy''. Dramatis personae: [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII Sephiroth]], older {{Bishounen}} ManipulativeBastard famous for the gargantuan amount of subtext between himself and his [[TheHero opposite number Cloud]] from [[MassiveMultiplayerCrossover his original game]]--oh, and for [[EvilIsSexy dressing like a leather-loving bondage dom.]] VideoGame/{{Fi|nalFantasyII}}rion, teen rebellious spirit and friend of Cloud; another white-haired {{Bishonen}} whose gruff exterior belies an earnest and innocent nature. [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyI Warrior Of Light]], TeamDad of the heroes, shares a lot of traits with the AloofBigBrother and TheStoic. The scene: Warrior Of Light comes across the tail end of an encounter between Firion and Sephiroth, with the former obviously injured, winded, and in a bad way. Warrior Of Light covers Firion's escape, while Sephiroth mocks him about having done something [[ThisIsUnforgivable unforgivable.]] Later, we discover...that Sephiroth had taken Firion's wild rose.

* ''VideoGame/GoldenSunDarkDawn'' has [[TheVamp vampy]] [[EvilIsSexy villain]] [[MsFanservice Chalis]] telling the heroes about where they can find the MacGuffin they're looking for... with a rather blatant [[MaleGaze bust shot]] and the line, "Ah, so have I enticed you?"

** All of

The only reason why Heart's scenes, befitting for her {{Dominatrix}} motif, resemble that of BDSM, from her innuendos to the way she tortures her opponents. Downplayed as it's here is because she only a borderline example, since said scenes are pretty much ''exactly'' what they remind you of. Iris Heart just never gets to do what she says thanks to circumstances.a chance to... finish.
** One noteworthy example would be in Chapter 3. Noire complains so much about Lowee until [[BewareTheNiceOnes Plutia]] -- who up until that point was relatively sedate -- gets fed up, transforms into Iris Heart and teaches her a lesson, resulting in the latter breaking Noire. This continues even in the Basilicom, where Noire still sounds like a BrokenRecord, while Plutia is rather... satisfied.
-->'''Plutia:''' Ehehe. I gave Noire some good service... Yummmmm! I'm so full now!

*** There's also Sephiroth doing ''MindRape'' to Cloud to the point where he could [[HeroicBSOD no longer function]]. He needed "rape counseling" from Tifa in a JourneyToTheCenterOfTheMind before he was able to do anything at all. The way Cloud experiences resemble a [[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil rape victim]] and needed therapy to recover.

** A similarly charged conversation can occur in a DLC chapter of ''VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening'', specifically Rogues & Redeemers 2. In that chapter, your NPC allies are villains from previous games, and unlike every other time that Einherjar from ''VideoGame/FireEmblemAkaneia'' have appeared, Gharnef recognizes Tiki if you have her talk to him. Almost every line out of ''both'' of their mouths makes it sound as if Gharnef raped her as a child, and it makes the one line that directly references what he did to her in-game sound all the more horrifying.

* ''VideoGame/DeepestSword'' draws parallels between slaying a dragon and having sex with a [[BiggerIsBetterInbed size queen]]. At first, your "[[PhallicWeapon sword]]" [[TeenyWeenie isn't long enough]] to reach the dragon's heart, so each level has you trying to navigate the cave with an increasingly lengthy blade, until it's finally [[{{BFS}} big enough]] to penetrate all the way.
