History Main / DoubleStandardRapeFemaleOnFemale

* Miko from ''LaBlueGirl'' won't hesitate to do the raping when her enemy is another cute girl, and without her status as the heroine being compromised.

* Averted in the made for TV movie Born Innocent where the main character (Linda Blair) is naked and held down by a group of girls who penetrate her with a broomstick. The scene is disturbing and awful.

Obviously this trope describes a DoubleStandard, and an extremely insulting one, in that it supports not one, not two but ''four'' UnfortunateImplications: Women are so weak and ineffectual they just '''''can't''''' harm anyone, not even other women, even less by sex; lesbian sex is [[GirlOnGirlIsHot cute and harmless]] but most of all ''unreal'', especially if it's non-penetrative; dismissing such a trope as {{Squick}} would immediately bear the mark of SelectiveSquick; and only men are rapists.

* In ''GirlsBravo'' Kosame once attempts to rape Kirie.

* In pretty much the only erotic scene in ''{{Homestuck}}'', Mindfang uses MindControl to force The Dolorosa have sex with her in front of Mindfang's [[MasochismTango hate-lover]], [[MoreThanMindControl using her powers to confuse and frighten The Dolorosa into thinking she really wants it]]. While Mindfang is a messed-up and deeply dangerous individual and the rape is not presented as 'okay' [[spoiler: and it leads to the Dolorosa getting assassinated by Dualscar]] , the author's own admission is that the scene is [[AbusivelySexyWoman sexy lesbian fanservice]]. Especially dark is that the descendant of The Dolorosa falls in love with the descendant of Mindfang, trolls being tied via destiny and legacy to their ancestors.

* Though not quite rape, {{Haruhi| Suzumiya}}'s sexual harassment of Mikuru is PlayedForLaughs.

* Felicity Flint doesn't always wait for consent. At least one of her victims later slid right into the RapeIsLove trope.

* ''StrawberryPanic'' pulls this off with Kaname (and to a lesser extent Momomi) on Hikari. The solution to many troubles Kaname had throughout the series was, "Rape Hikari!" She never succeeds, and while it's clear other people disapprove, she faces no consequences for her obviously creepy intentions.

* ''KushielsDart'' has a complicated version: Phedre informs the reader that rape is an unforgivable act of treason in her culture. Yet when [[spoiler: Melisande drugs her and commits sex acts that could arguably be rape before selling her into slavery]] this act is never considered rape despite a cultural understanding that both men and women can be sexually dominant and powerful. It becomes gray since Phedre is a professional submissive, and was under contract to Melisande. Melisande did honor the letter of the contract, including the safe word, and knew damn well Phedre was [[spoiler: a trained spy, working for her enemy]], and Phedre does obviously views what happened as a violation despite no using her safeword, but she also doesn't brush it off because of Melisande's gender.
* In the anthology ''Blood Sisters: Lesbian Vampire Tales'' a female character is raped and "turned" by a female vampire. The rape experiences gives her the newfound confidence to pursue her mortal love interest and lead a happier life. Possibly also an example of {{SexAsRite-Of-Passage}}, except substitute "rape" for "sex".
* Averted in ''[[TheDarkTower Wizard And Glass]]'', in which Rhea's erotic pawing of an unwilling Susan is the first demonstration of the old witch's CompleteMonster status.

* In ''BoysEmpire'', Umeko rapes Hitomi's mother as part of her "negotiations".

** One (softcore) example from ''The Stewardesses 3-D'': The chief stewardess aggressively puts the moves on one of the junior ones, to which she yields. Later, a male character reveals that his (also male) boss extracted sexual favors from him in return for promotion, leaving him permanently embittered. [[BrokenAesop Moral]]: Lesbian sexual harassment is [[GoodBadGirl fun]] and [[GirlOnGirlIsHot sexy]]; gay male sexual harassment is [[MindRape a soul-blighting trauma]].

%%Please do not post any pictures of rape in any form. Thank you.

DoubleStandardRapeFemaleOnFemale is in large part based on the idea that [[NoTrueScotsman lesbian sex is not "real" sex]]. Men, penises, and penile penetration are central to sexual relations; without a penis involved, there can be no sex, and without sex, there can be no rape. [[InsaneTrollLogic Therefore, anything a woman does to another woman is "not a big deal"]].

It should be noted that, at least in the United States, this viewpoint was legally supported until the 1970s. The definition of "rape", historically, was defined as the act of forcing sexual intercourse on a ''woman'' by a ''man''. Currently, all states define rape without referencing the sex of the victim or the perpetrator, acknowledging that women and men can both rape and be raped, but many people still believe that the presence or absence of the penis determines whether any given sex act is actually sex or not. In other locations, the presence of the penis is still required for an act to be legally considered "rape" rather than "unwanted sexual touching" or other such descriptions.

This trope is invoked where women raping other women is seen as harmless or even sexy, and therefore not worth fretting over. After all, GirlOnGirlIsHot, no matter what the victim may think of it. In some cases, authors who would demote male rapists to CompleteMonster status within a story forgive female rapists, and/or consider their relationships to be loving. The emotional impact of the rape is largely dismissed or ignored completely, usually because [[FanDisservice it would be less appealing to the audience]] for the victim to be legitimately traumatized, and ideas of consent and personal violation aren't often brought up at all.

The trope (and audiences' reaction) is used similarly in BoysLove works for male-on-male rape, but where BL often uses it [[RapeAsDrama for drama]], female-on-female rape in most media would like the rape not to last any longer than the scene it happens in. Don't expect victims to think about it too hard after the fact.

Obviously this trope describes a DoubleStandard, and an extremely insulting one, in that it supports not one, not two but ''four'' UnfortunateImplications: Women are so weak and ineffectual they just '''''can't''''' harm anyone, not even other women, even less by sex; lesbian sex is [[GirlOnGirlIsHot cute and harmless]] but most of all ''unreal'', especially if it's non-penetrative; dismissing such a trope as {{Squick}} would immediately bear the mark of SelectiveSquick; and only men are rapists.

* In ''IchibanUshiroNoDaimaou'', Fujiko's rape (by female characters) is PlayedForLaughs in a BlackComedyRape situation.

** In ''Dragon Destiny'' it was revealed that ShrinkingViolet Ten'i was gang raped at her former school by a sadistic AlphaBitch and her GirlPosse, and they pretty much used this trope to justify their actions. This is only an in-universe case: ''the show itself'' makes it clear that the girls are {{Complete Monster}}s.
* Though not quite rape, {{Haruhi| Suzumiya}}'s sexual harassment of Mikuru is PlayedForLaughs.
* ''StrawberryPanic'' pulls this off with Kaname (and to a lesser extent Momomi) on Hikari. The solution to many troubles Kaname had throughout the series was, "Rape Hikari!" She never succeeds, and while it's clear other people disapprove, she faces no consequences for her obviously creepy intentions.
* In the one-shot manga ''[[Manga/ZeroEightZeroFourAMDaydream 08.04 AM Daydream]]'', most of the patrons of the girls-only train seem to believe this.
* ''SeikonNoQwaser'' plays this trope straight for the most part. In fact, all kinds of ripping a girls clothes off and fondling her from men and women is viewed as a normal thing. One scene in the first season even has Mutsumi saying "Don't worry, this can't be considered as rape" when raping female lead Mafuyu.
* A bit of a ZigZaggingTrope in ''KannazukiNoMiko''. [[spoiler: Chikane does rape Himeko, yes, and makes a rather dramatic FaceHeelTurn in the process]], but [[SadisticChoice the circumstances]] were [[BecauseDestinySaysSo more than a little contrived]], making for [[BrokenBase ample debate]] on whether or not she should still be held accountable. However, there is a notable lack of repercussions, or even disapproval of her acts in-universe. Less of a DoubleStandard than most examples since a male villain tries to rape Himeko at one point but is treated no less sympathetically in the end when everything gets set straight again and everyone is given their happy ending.
* Miko from ''LaBlueGirl'' won't hesitate to do the raping when her enemy is another cute girl, and without her status as the heroine being compromised.
* Violent, PsychoLesbian [[MsFanservice Ume]] from ''BenTo'' seems to be present to cater to an number of feitishes, including; [[AttemptedRape forced yuri]] to [[AbductionIsLove kidnap]]

Anthy's character [[RonTheDeathEater is completely altered]] and Utena becomes an ExtremeDoormat who stays in an abusive relationship after Wakaba loses interest in their friendship. It should be noted that in this fanfic, Utena ''agrees to keep fighting off the abusive system (which is mostly male dominated) that Anthy is trapped in''.
* Ambiguously played in another ''{{Degrassi}}'' fanfic ''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/1780356/1/Bias Bias]]'' seems headed toward Manny/Ellie femslash. The chapter started off with some boys coercing Manny into raping Ellie (it was either rape Ellie herself or they rape Ellie).

** In ''Dragon Destiny'' it was revealed that ShrinkingViolet Ten'i was gang raped at her former school by a sadistic AlphaBitch and her GirlPosse, and they pretty much used this trope to justify their actions. This is only an in-universe case: ''the show itself'' makes it clear that the girls are {{Complete Monster}}s.
* Though not quite rape, {{Haruhi| Suzumiya}}'s sexual harassment of Mikuru is PlayedForLaughs.
* ''StrawberryPanic'' pulls this off with Kaname (and to a lesser extent Momomi) on Hikari. The solution to many troubles Kaname had throughout the series was, "Rape Hikari!" She never succeeds, and while it's clear other people disapprove, she faces no consequences for her obviously creepy intentions.
* In the one-shot manga ''[[Manga/ZeroEightZeroFourAMDaydream 08.04 AM Daydream]]'', most of the patrons of the girls-only train seem to believe this.
* ''SeikonNoQwaser'' plays this trope straight for the most part. In fact, all kinds of ripping a girls clothes off and fondling her from men and women is viewed as a normal thing. One scene in the first season even has Mutsumi saying "Don't worry, this can't be considered as rape" when raping female lead Mafuyu.
* A bit of a ZigZaggingTrope in ''KannazukiNoMiko''. [[spoiler: Chikane does rape Himeko, yes, and makes a rather dramatic FaceHeelTurn in the process]], but [[SadisticChoice the circumstances]] were [[BecauseDestinySaysSo more than a little contrived]], making for [[BrokenBase ample debate]] on whether or not she should still be held accountable. However, there is a notable lack of repercussions, or even disapproval of her acts in-universe. Less of a DoubleStandard than most examples since a male villain tries to rape Himeko at one point but is treated no less sympathetically in the end when everything gets set straight again and everyone is given their happy ending.
* Miko from ''LaBlueGirl'' won't hesitate to do the raping when her enemy is another cute girl, and without her status as the heroine being compromised.
* Violent, PsychoLesbian [[MsFanservice Ume]] from ''BenTo'' seems to be present to cater to an number of feitishes, including; [[AttemptedRape forced yuri]] to [[AbductionIsLove kidnap]]
* In ''GirlsBravo'' Kosame once attempts to rape Kirie.
* In ''BoysEmpire'', Umeko rapes Hitomi's mother as part of her "negotiations".

* In the ''RevolutionaryGirlUtena'' fanfic, [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4707301/1/Will_of_the_Rose Will of the Rose]], Anthy rapes Utena because she is frustrated that they haven't had sex yet (since they are engaged). Anthy's character [[RonTheDeathEater is completely altered]] and Utena becomes an ExtremeDoormat who stays in an abusive relationship after Wakaba loses interest in their friendship. It should be noted that in this fanfic, Utena ''agrees to keep fighting off the abusive system (which is mostly male dominated) that Anthy is trapped in''.
* Ambiguously played in another ''{{Degrassi}}'' fanfic ''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/1780356/1/Bias Bias]]'' seems headed toward Manny/Ellie femslash. The chapter started off with some boys coercing Manny into raping Ellie (it was either rape Ellie herself or they rape Ellie). What happened to Ellie is treated like a random drunken encounter and not much else. Neither the male nor female characters involved are given much blame (so far).

** One (softcore) example from ''The Stewardesses 3-D'': The chief stewardess aggressively puts the moves on one of the junior ones, to which she yields. Later, a male character reveals that his (also male) boss extracted sexual favors from him in return for promotion, leaving him permanently embittered. [[BrokenAesop Moral]]: Lesbian sexual harassment is [[GoodBadGirl fun]] and [[GirlOnGirlIsHot sexy]]; gay male sexual harassment is [[MindRape a soul-blighting trauma]].
* In ''BloodNightTheLegendOfMaryHatchet'', [[CuteAndPsycho Alyssa]] cracks a long joke about being beaten, gangraped and branded in the girl's shower room in high school.
* It's hard to tell if the crazed teenage {{dominatrix}} trying to rape another girl in ''Blood Mask: The Possession of Nicole Lameroux'' is being PlayedForLaughs or not.

[[folder:Internet]]
* Mugglenet.com, a Harry Potter fansite, has a section for editorials about shipping. The submission rules indicate that essays about particularly squicky pairings would be turned away, including those containing incest, bestiality, and ''underage characters with adults''. Fair enough. Except that one essay made a case for [[CrackPairing Luna x Trelawney]]. I guess that doesn't count under the very clear "no underage characters with adult characters" rule, somehow?

[[folder:Literature]]
* ''KushielsDart'' has a complicated version: Phedre informs the reader that rape is an unforgivable act of treason in her culture. Yet when [[spoiler: Melisande drugs her and commits sex acts that could arguably be rape before selling her into slavery]] this act is never considered rape despite a cultural understanding that both men and women can be sexually dominant and powerful. It becomes gray since Phedre is a professional submissive, and was under contract to Melisande. Melisande did honor the letter of the contract, including the safe word, and knew damn well Phedre was [[spoiler: a trained spy, working for her enemy]], and Phedre does obviously views what happened as a violation despite no using her safeword, but she also doesn't brush it off because of Melisande's gender.
* In the anthology ''Blood Sisters: Lesbian Vampire Tales'' a female character is raped and "turned" by a female vampire. The rape experiences gives her the newfound confidence to pursue her mortal love interest and lead a happier life. Possibly also an example of {{SexAsRite-Of-Passage}}, except substitute "rape" for "sex".
* Averted in ''[[TheDarkTower Wizard And Glass]]'', in which Rhea's erotic pawing of an unwilling Susan is the first demonstration of the old witch's CompleteMonster status.
* Invoked in ''{{Aimee}}''.
* In the book ''The Queen's Gambit'', the preteen protagonist is nearly raped by her large black roommate who had been working to gain her trust for weeks. Later she calls on this person to help her get her life back in order after becoming a drug-addicted mess thanks to her horrific childhood, with zero mention made of the rape.

[[folder:Live-Action TV]]
* Averted in at least one episode of ''[[LawAndOrderSVU Law & Order: SVU]]'', which featured a particularly heinous teenage girl who would routinely drug and rape her younger (not blood-related) sister. It's also extremely heavily implied that she also got off on having boyfriends rape the girl.
** And in season 12, they have a case of a woman who [[spoiler:assaulted a young girl and then murdered her]], and the detectives note that they have never before encountered such a scenario.
* Averted in the ''HomicideLifeOnTheStreet''/''LawAndOrder'' {{Crossover}} episode "Baby, It's You," in which a teenage model dies of toxic shock and it's discovered that she was raped - by [[spoiler: her ''mother'']].

* The original version of ''TheVaginaMonologues'' contained an ''extremely'' controversial piece about a young girl who was seduced by an older woman, who, regardless of the girl's mental state (some productions say she was already drunk, others change it so she wasn't) and the issue of her consent (she's positive about the experience for the entirety of the piece) is still statutory rape, even when the girl is aged up from 13 to 16 in some productions. The original included the line "if it was rape, it was a good rape", and while later versions removed that line the piece itself is still highly controversial.

* In ''EmbricOfWulfhammersCastle'' the rape is called a rape but described in erotic, titillating terms as the Duchess recounts the event to her maid, who is openly aroused by the tale, and the rapist in question is instantly forgiven because she lost control of her emotions and couldn't help raping the Duchess.
* Averted in ''DeadRising'', where the psychotic police woman, Jo Slade, captures and is heavily implied to have molested some women with her nightstick, and it's never portrayed as anything other than disturbing.

* Felicity Flint doesn't always wait for consent. At least one of her victims later slid right into the RapeIsLove trope.
* In pretty much the only erotic scene in ''{{Homestuck}}'', Mindfang uses MindControl to force The Dolorosa have sex with her in front of Mindfang's [[MasochismTango hate-lover]], [[MoreThanMindControl using her powers to confuse and frighten The Dolorosa into thinking she really wants it]]. While Mindfang is a messed-up and deeply dangerous individual and the rape is not presented as 'okay' [[spoiler: and it leads to the Dolorosa getting assassinated by Dualscar]] , the author's own admission is that the scene is [[AbusivelySexyWoman sexy lesbian fanservice]]. Especially dark is that the descendant of The Dolorosa falls in love with the descendant of Mindfang, trolls being tied via destiny and legacy to their ancestors.

* In ''IchibanUshiroNoDaimaou'', Fujiko's rape (by female characters) is PlayedForLaughs in a RapeAsComedy situation.

Fans who approve of those uses of this trope will usually defend it with "[[GirlOnGirlIsHot but it's cute]]" or "[[RapeIsLove but they're in love]]" or (if given immovable resistance) [[MST3KMantra "IT'S JUST A SHOW!"]]. The trope (and audiences' reaction) is used similarly in BoysLove works for male-on-male rape, but where BL often uses it [[RapeAsDrama for drama]], female-on-female rape in most media would like the rape not to last any longer than the scene it happens in. Don't expect victims to think about it too hard after the fact.

* In ''IkkiTousen'' during Ryofu's first TV episode she immobilizes and rapes one of the show's most popular characters, Ryoumou, after defeating her (in the manga, Ryofu only gropes Ryoumou and leaves her there, not going through with the rape itself). This is never brought up again (not even by Ryoumou) and she even becomes an EnsembleDarkhorse herself.
** In ''Dragon Destiny'' it was revealed that ShrinkingViolet Ten'i was gang raped at her former school by a sadistic AlphaBitch and her GirlPosse, and they pretty much used this trope to justify their actions - [[spoiler: aside from Ten'i having killed her sexually abusive father in self-defense]]. This is only an in-universe case: ''the show itself'' makes it clear that the girls are {{Complete Monster}}s.
* A similar situation (schoolgirl raped by the AlphaBitch + GirlPosse) happens in ''{{Narutaru}}''. It averts this trope, however, as this is definitely not seen as harmless and [[RoaringRampageOfRevenge does NOT end well]].
* ''FamilyCompo'' features a panel where Shion [[spoiler: who is only ''supposedly'' female]] clearly rapes another girl.
* Though not quite rape, {{Haruhi| Suzumiya}}'s sexual harassment of Mikuru is PlayedForLaughs. Of course, [[{{Blackmail}} it isn't the only indefensibly evil deed of Haruhi's to be played for laughs on the show]], which sort of reflects on [[BlackComedy the show's style]], but for sexual harassment of women by other women to be taken so lightly on the show still arguably touches on the trope.

* ''SeikonNoQwaser'' plays this trope straight for the most part. In fact, all kinds of ripping a girls clothes off and fondling her from men and women is viewed as a normal thing. One scene in the first season even has DepravedBisexual Mutsumi saying "Don't worry, this can't be considered as rape" when raping female lead Mafuyu who is tied to the bed because they're both females.
** It's averted big time in the second season when Sasha (in his female body) sucks the soma out of Miyuki's breasts who then proceeds to go through the normal afteraffects of a woman who had just been raped; complete with a ShowerofAngst and feeling like she betrayed the person she loved by 'letting it happen'.
* A bit of a ZigZaggingTrope in ''KannazukiNoMiko''. [[spoiler: Chikane does rape Himeko, yes, and makes a rather dramatic FaceHeelTurn in the process]], but [[SadisticChoice the circumstances]] were [[BecauseDestinySaysSo more than a little contrived]], making for [[BrokenBase ample debate]] on whether or not she should still be held accountable. However, there is a notable lack of repercussions, or even disapproval of her acts in-universe, [[RapeIsLove the two hook up, even though the victim was dating someone else quite happily at the time]]. Less of a DoubleStandard than most examples since a male villain tries to rape Himeko at one point but is treated no less sympathetically in the end when everything gets set straight again and everyone is given their happy ending.
* Averted in regards to [[spoiler: Yuri's AttemptedRape of Ringo]] in ''Anime/MawaruPenguindrum'', since it's pretty clear that the female rapist has very, ''very'' big issues.
* Miko from ''LaBlueGirl'' won't hesitate to do the raping when her enemy is another cute girl, and without her status as the heroine being compromised. See her battles against Bosatsu and Fubuki, for example.

[[folder:Comic Books]]
* Very much a part of ''HousewivesAtPlay'', and its spinoff titles ''Teens at Play'' and ''Hot Moms''.
[[/folder]]

* ''HarryPotter'': Just about every femslash featuring Bellatrix ever, particularly Bellatrix/Narcissa, Bellatrix/Tonks, and Bellatrix/Hermione.

* In ''Fanfiction/NarutoVeanganceRevelaitons'': Taliana rapes Sakura and Ronan [[ADateWithRosiePalms gets off to it]]. Considering what a CompleteMonster he is, this is pretty standard. He rapes Sakura too. More than once, actually.

* Averted HARD in ''She Stole My Voice'', a documentary about lesbian rapists which features graphic reenactments of real rapes. Played straight in some of the interviews where men say they wouldn't care nearly as much if their girlfriends were raped by women because it wouldn't insult their manhood the way another man raping, and thus "stealing", their girlfriend would.
** The fact that real life survivors shared their rape stories with researchers, who then made what is basically a pornographic representation of each rape with actors playing abusive siblings, friends, party guests, girlfriends, etc. is arguably HighOctaneNightmareFuel. And to add another layer of {{Squick}} the actresses in the sibling rape scene were actually sisters in real life.
* Also averted HARD in ''Jaded'', a drama about lesbian rape and its consequences.
* Played straight in way too much porn.
** One (softcore) example from ''The Stewardesses 3-D'': The chief stewardess aggressively puts the moves on one of the junior ones, to which she gigglingly yields. Later, a male character reveals that his (also male) boss extracted sexual favors from him in return for promotion, leaving him permanently embittered. [[BrokenAesop Moral]]: Lesbian sexual harassment is [[GoodBadGirl fun]] and [[GirlOnGirlIsHot sexy]]; gay male sexual harassment is [[MindRape a soul-blighting trauma]].

* Played straight in ''OrangesAreNotTheOnlyFruit'' when Mrs. Jewsberry commits an act that is ambiguously rape against the protagonist. Though Jeanette says that she hated it, Mrs. Jewsberry is not given the same moral condemnation as many male characters who do not touch Jeanette.
** "Ambiguously" is the key word here. Jeanette literally says "''We made love'', and I hated it and hated it but ''couldn't stop''." Doesn't really sound like she was forced into it; if she "hated" the experience, it was probably for other reasons.

* Invoked in ''{{Aimee}}''. [[spoiler:Aimee is repeatedly raped by her stepmother but her stepmother tells her not to report it because it will just make her a lesbian.]]

* In ''EmbricOfWulfhammersCastle'' the rape is called a rape but described in erotic, titillating terms as the Duchess recounts the event to her maid, who is openly aroused by the tale, and the rapist in question is instantly forgiven because she lost control of her emotions and couldn't help raping the Duchess. It's suggested that since [[MindRape it happened in a dream]] it wasn't a "real" rape, but most of Carmina's events happen in dreams, and it's explicitly shown that she not only did intend to visit the Duchess' dreams the next time she went to sleep, but it's also shown later that she has control over herself and the environment in other dream events.
* Averted in ''DeadRising'', where the psychotic police woman, Jo Slade, captures and is heavily implied to have molested some women with her nightstick, and it's never portrayed as anything other than disturbing. Although, those who haven't played the game may have gotten that image in their head, and should recognize the implication that Jo looked like [[http://deadrising.wikia.com/wiki/Jo_Slade this]], which a cynical mind might say is why it wasn't played as for FetishFuel.

[[folder:Web Animation]]
* [[http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/514793 RWD: 032]] plays this trope for laughs.
[[/folder]]

** Though part of the reason as to why she was so easily forgiven for that act is that some may view this as some kind of karmic justice seeing as Ryomou was up to this point not very proper herself climaxing (or at least pretending to) [[http://img101.imageshack.us/img101/1638/battlevixensv01p0044.jpg while strangling other people...]]

** the other "girl" (a FtM tans) tried to rape her first !

RapeIsOkayWhenItsFemaleOnFemale is in large part based on the idea that [[NoTrueScotsman lesbian sex is not "real" sex]]. Men, penises, and penile penetration are central to sexual relations; without a penis involved, there can be no sex, and without sex, there can be no rape. [[InsaneTrollLogic Therefore, anything a woman does to another woman is "not a big deal"]].

* [[ImageBoard Certain dark corners of the internet]] are outraged whenever they get wind of a female-on-male rape story. Mostly because they're [[AllMenArePerverts jealous it didn't happen to them instead]], and the rest of the outrage is directed towards the lucky bastard for being stupid and gay enough to actually report the crime committed against him instead of being [[AManIsAlwaysEager absolutely thrilled about getting some free sex]], and keeping the whole thing under his hat in hopes of maybe getting more from her in the future.
