Memetic Molester / Live-Action TV

• Quite a few monsters and/or villains in Are You Afraid of the Dark? have aspects of this trope. Notable examples include a silver midget from "Renegade Virus" who stalked a kid and tried to take over his brain ("I think I'm going to enjoy being inside your brain." * Slasher Smile* ), the vampire from "Night Shift", Nosferatu from "Midnight Madness", The Ghastly Grinner, the Crimson Clown (the thing crawled into a kid's bed and tied him up), Peter from "Captured Souls", Zeebo the Clown, Dr. Vink, the life-sized doll from "Dark Music", the spirit that haunted the pool in "Dead Man's Float", Captain Cutter in "Cutters Treasure", Madame Visage of "Many Faces", and many more.
• Beakman's World: Lessee, Mad Scientist, lime green labcoat, literal lab rat... you wonder what Beakman's done to his assistants. Especially Phoebe...
• Giles from Buffy the Vampire Slayer, you got to wonder why no one questioned him always being alone with teenage girls. Lampshaded three times:
  • First one:
  Willow: He's our grown-up friend, but not in the creepy way.
  • Second...
  Giles: Now wait a minute - you think I'm evil... if I bring a group of girls on a camping trip and don't touch them?
  • And three!
  Buffy: When I kissed you? You know I was thinking about Giles, right?
  Spike: (Double Take) You know, I always wondered about you two.
  • Angel too, of course. It's completely canon that he and Buffy consummated when she had just turned seventeen, and were at the stage of regular making out before this, but properly understood, this isn't squicky. The memetic interpretation is that Angel is an Ephebophile who was planning to exploit Buffy from the moment he laid eyes on her. The best fodder for such an interpretation is the flashback scene in which Buffy is just a fifteen-year-old coming out of school, giggling girlishly with her friends, while Angel sits in a car parked in the shadows, watching her without her knowing he exists.
• The evil puppets from the Angel episode "Smile Time." The episode opens with a puppet on the TV screen asking a child to touch the TV screen reassuring him that it will be okay, then magically sucking the life energy out of him while making moans of pleasure reminiscent of sexual pleasure. A later line in the episode makes it clear that the puppets' explicit goal is to steal the innocence of children and export it into the hell dimensions.
• The Reaper from Criminal Minds. In his debut, its mentioned he has a thing for teenage girls, and the scenes where he's torturing Hotch in "Faceless, Nameless" have a distinct rape vibe, especially since he's shirtless. In "100", when he's taunting Hotch over the phone, he even says something to the effect of "Tsk tsk. Be gentle. Like I was with you."
• Doctor Who
  • The Master, most commonly with the Doctor, due to No Sense of Personal Space coupled with epic levels of Foe Romance Subtext, though other characters are certainly not immune. Sort of inevitable considering his tendency to spout ridiculously suggestive lines while he asserts his dominance, physically or emotionally, and how his friggin' name is the Master.
  • Especially considering his tendency to tie up and imprison the Doctor, once for an entire year! It would be harder to believe he DIDN'T do anything untoward in all that time...
  • The Doctor is over 900 years old. Rose was a 19-year-old girl. Age difference of roughly nine centuries. I'm saying nothing.
    • The worst part? He's been saying he's 900 for centuries.
    • Seriously, the Doctor does a really good job of avoiding this trope when you think about it.
    • The Dream Lord mocks him for this in "Amy's Choice", saying that he abandons people once they "grow up" and that "the old man prefers the company of the young".
  • Minnie from "The End of Time". Who wouldn't want to grope The Doctor's butt?
  • Amy Pond towards the Doctor.
  • And Captain Jack will get you bi tonight.
• Dollhouse Bennett seems to enjoy tying people down to her tables and doing horrible things to their brains.
• Firefly
  • Jubal Early crawls inside you uninvited.
  • And The Operative wants to take you home.
  • The Reavers raping you to death first is the best possible outcome.
• Creepin' Littlefinger of Game of Thrones, with regard to Sansa Stark. Unfortunately as described under the Literature section this is more or less canon.
• Will Schuester on Glee often seems a little inappropriate with his students, giving rise to the PedoWill meme. There is also a video about it.
  • Happend to Dave Karofsky after 'Never Been Kissed'. The amount of Karofsky rapes Kurt fanfics after that episode are too many to count.
• Heroes
  • Chandra Suresh. Chandra×Gabriel and Chandra×Eden are usually considered consensual, if squicky, but Chandra×Mohinder, Chandra×Shanti and, for some bizarre reason, Chandra×Monty? Not so much. It's been mentioned that Mohinder wouldn't have been able to run out and buy last-minute curare to dose Sylar with, so it's become a running joke that it was Chandra's, which he planned to use to drug the specials he lured back to the apartment.
  • Arthur Petrelli 90% of the time this is his fanfic characterization, because he apparently wasn't enough of a douchebag in canon. (The whole "bad-touch power" thing doesn't help.)
  • What about Sylar? Jeez, Zachary Quinto manages to make him multiple types of creepy at once, including serial-killer-creepy, Mommy-issues-creepy, Mind Rape-creepy, literal-mind-rape-creepy not-literal-mind-rape-creepy, I-will-find-you creepy, and most of all, rapist creepy. He's even creepy in the flash backs and flash forwards when he's not a serial killer. Zachary Quinto is amazing-ly creepy.
  "Eat your brain? Claire... that's disgusting..."
  • Eric Doyle, the Puppet Master (though that one is canon).
  • Samuel Sullivan from season four qualifies. Let's see, he runs a carnival and plays into the creepy, perverted carny stereotype quite well. He has sexual tension with everyone and is constantly being all touchy-feely with his main hench-people, Lydia and Edgar. Oh, and he does the same thing to Sylar, Hiro, and really almost anyone who visits his carnival. Not to mention, he has Lydia use her empathy power so that he can stalk other specials and recruit them to his carnival. Samuel's memetic molester behavior is parodied in this (safe for work) fanart.
• House
  • Tritter, with his main victims being House, Wilson or Chase. Helped by David Morse being unbelievably creepy in the role.
  • House himself can be seen as this sometimes. Remember when he asked a little girl if she had hair in her special place? But House manages to avert this quite well, actually. Despite constant sexual comments towards almost everyone and claiming to spend absurd amounts of money on prostitutes, there are about three times in the entire series he has had sex, one of which was a hallucination.
• Sportacus◊ from LazyTown.
• Papa Lazarou from The League of Gentlemen, in and out of canon. You're his wife now, Dave.
  "How nice to see you again. All. Grown. Up."
• The Temple Guards of Legends of the Hidden Temple. They sometimes hide in trees and grab children with their branches. They'd also sometimes hide in armor that the player was supposed to press themselves against and grab them with that.
• Merlin has Gaius, to an extent, based on several slightly squicky scenes where he asks young men to take of their shirts, and drugs them then sits and watches them fall asleep. He's a physician. The shirt needed to be taken off so that he could assess the damage and possibly apply the necessary medicine. While drugging Arthur was unethical to the extreme, he was ordered to by the king, and, at least, he did do the responsible thing and stay close by in case Arthur had a reaction to the drug. He didn't have to look like he enjoyed it though...
• Oliver "Creepy Ollie" Leek (also known as Eek!Leek) has this reputation in the Primeval fandom. Try to find any sort of fic where he gets laid and there isn't coercion of some kind involved. Try.
• Hoyt of Rizzoli & Isles has a lot of creepy rape undertones to his behavior.
• Supernatural
  • Azazel; if you don't see it, you aren't paying attention. Mostly confirmed in the flashback of how he first met the Winchester family.
  • Alastair. Oh dear.
  • Lucifer. Dear God. His tormenting of Sam in season 5 in regards to wanting to possess him (needing his consent to do so, talking about how he will make Sam 'let him in') was joked about... then in season 7 they became dodgier bunk-buddy comments about making Sam his bitch in "every sense of the term" during the year Sam was trapped in Hell with him. It's now pretty much considered canon by much of the fandom that he tortured Sam sexually.
    Lucifer: That's what I'm talking about, Sam! Real interaction again, I miss that! The rapier wit, the wittier rape....
• Inversion: Doggie Kruger from Tokusou Sentai Dekaranger will be anyone's bitch — gay, straight, male, female, non-human, non-organic... they will tie him up and have their way with him, any time, any place, any way. He may secretly enjoy it, but he has no choice.
• Justin from Wizards of Waverly Place is a smart, controlled, studious, mature, flawless young scientist-bookworm, who always takes care and saves his little sister from impending doom. His expression in this image◊ suggests that it's not quite like that.
• Cossutius from Spartacus: Gods of the Arena, which isn't that far off really. His Establishing Character Moment is when he talks about purity and ugliness coexisting, and proves it by having a dirty and smelly gladiator rape the beautiful Diona. He's clearly excited by it, and decides to anally rape her at the same time. He is repeatedly shown having a fondness for rape, and makes an offhand comment about how none of his slaves are virgins. He became known as Mr. Rape Face.
• In Star Trek: The Next Generation, many in the fandom believe that the Traveller is clearly lusting after Wesley.
• Hannibal Lecter from the series of the same name gets a fair bit of this as far as his relationship with Will Graham is concerned. Comments by his actor Mads Mikkelsen, which confirm that he loves Will in his own twisted fashion, don't help. Nor does the fact that Hannibal is Gaslighting Will through a decent part of the series to convince him that he's a serial killer and essentially mentally raping him.
• An in-universe example is John "Paedo" Kennedy from The Inbetweeners. His reputation is entirely deserved, as he attempts to make moves on Neil constantly.
