* In ''LightNovel/FullMetalPanic'', towards the beginning in the first arc, Kaname is naked minus a ripped patient's uniform and her underwear for a good portion, but none of this is focused on or even pointed out by any of the characters, including Kurtz, a borderline super pervert, due to the seriousness of the situation and the various military fighters coming after the group.

* ''LightNovel/{{Shimoneta}}'':

* MsFanservice Alice from ''VisualNovel/VirtuesLastReward'' wears nothing but a skirt, a short open jacket and a necklace suppressing her massive bust. No one says a thing about her overtly sexy figure except Dio, who makes one casual joke in the entire game:

* ''Literature/TheScholomance'': KidHero Orion Lake struggles to relate to people and never takes notice of anyone's body [[spoiler:[[RelationshipUpgrade except El's]],]] even when he [[CrashingThroughTheHarem chases a monster through the girls' showers]] or when Liesel purposely bends over him in a low-cut shirt.

* ''Series/StarTrekVoyager'': Seven of Nine's infamous catsuit that enhances her breasts to the size of cantaloupe melons - and literally no one ever seems to care. It has been argued that such an attitude is meant to show how ''beyond it all'' future humans are when it comes to such things. The problem however is that the Delta Quadrant is certifiably the ass-end of space containing many patriarchal, primitive and shady creatures and even they don't seem to notice when the blonde stunner enters the room. Its telling that by the time of her cameo in the far darker ''Series/StarTrekPicard'' any excuse the writers were using for the catsuit have gone and she is now wearing normal clothes.

** Kijin's outfit during the final arc consists of a short top that exposes her arms and [[BareYourMidriff her midriff]], and a slit skirt to show her legs. The straps of whatever bottom underwear she's wearing that shouldn't exist in ancient china are showing. No one makes a single remark.

* Aayla Secura in the ''Franchise/StarWars'' comics set [[Franchise/StarWarsExpandedUniverse around the Clone Wars]]. She's a hot [[GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe blue-skinned alien]] who [[BareYourMidriff bares her midriff]] belonging to a species whose [[PlanetOfHats hat for the females]] is being nubile dancers. Of course, the fact that she's also a Jedi Knight might have something to do with the way she is treated. The fact that most of the people around her are either [[CelibateHero fellow Jedi]] or subordinate Clone Troopers is also a factor.

* Pretty much every female in the ''VideoGame/JakAndDaxter'' series is smokin' hot and always [[BareYourMidriff bares her midriff]], but [[MsFanservice Ashelin]] wears the skimpiest outfit of all. Daxter flirts with nearly everything with tits, but other than that [[CharacterDevelopment (which has died down in later games)]], no one spares a second glance.

* ''WesternAnimation/WinxClub'': Fairy transformations (and one witch transformation) tend to be very skimpy, with mini shorts/skirts/dresses and BareYourMidriff top pieces, especially in the early seasons. This is treated as normal and never sexualized by all of the characters (LoveInterests included) and the camera shots. It doesn't hamper the [[WorldOfActionGirls girls']] ability to fight, either. Similarly, when the characters go on a BeachEpisode, the further lack of clothes is not acknowledged.

* Averted in ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWars OG Saga: VideoGame/EndlessFrontier'', where half the jokes in the game are comments on the wardrobe of the female cast. Especially Kagura, with her tiny dress and [[GagBoobs huge... tracts of land]].

-->'''Dio:''' With a [[GagBoobs prow]] like that, I imagine you run into a lot of things.

* In ''VideoGame/TalesFromTheBorderlands'', [=Zer0=] mostly ignores [[MsFanservice Mad Moxxi's]] constant innuendo. The only time he even comments on it is before hanging up on her in annoyance. A ''VideoGame/Borderlands2'' DLC has him outright say that he [[CelibateHero isn't interested in romance or sex]], [[BloodKnight only in combat]] and [[ChallengeSeeker testing his skills]]. Of course, in the same DLC, he ''does'' imply that he has [[ADateWithRosiePalms dates with Rosie Palms]] (and uses [[{{Squick}} blood as lube]]), so while he may not be ''distracted'' by the sexy, it apparently still has an effect on him.

* ''Manga/DeathNote'' has Misa repeatedly appear in {{Stripperiffic}} clothes, sweet-sexy lingerie or flat out [[OfCorsetsSexy a corset and panties]] at multiple intervals, trying to get Light's attention. Light will have none of that and is all business around her. [[http://www.mangago.me/read-manga/death_note/mr/death-note/61/15/ The rest of the task force are not so oblivious]].

One could HandWave this as being the [[SpaceClothes cultural norm in outer space or on whatever world she's inhabiting]]. In a real-world setting, especially in live-action films, this is often intended to suggest how [[SpandexLatexOrLeather sophisticated, jaded, or fashionable]] (or homosexual/heterosexual, depending on the relative genders) the people in question are. The character may already be in a SeductionProofMarriage, or might have SingleTargetSexuality towards someone else.

* ''Series/StarTrekVoyager'': Seven of Nine's infamous catsuit that enhances her breasts to the size of cantaloupe melons - and literally no one ever seems to care. It has been argued that such an attitude is meant to show how ''beyond it all'' future humans are when it comes to such things. No one stares and Seven isn't sexually harassed because we simply don't do that anymore. The problem however is that the Delta Quadrant is certifiably the ass-end of space containing many patriarchal, primitive and shady creatures and even they don't seem to notice when the blonde stunner enters the room. Its telling that by the time of her cameo in the far darker ''Series/StarTrekPicard'' any excuse the writers were using for the catsuit have gone and she is now wearing normal clothes.

** ''Higurashi'''s SpiritualSuccessor, ''VisualNovel/UminekoWhenTheyCry'', on the other hand, has Battler outright comment on [[KissingCousins Jessica's]] and [[{{Meido}} Shannon's]] boobs, with [[ArmorPiercingSlap predictable results]].

** Shion and Mion. Despite having large racks (not to mention [[TwinThreesomeFantasy being identical twins]]), no-one ever seems to notice except in ''Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni Rei'''s [[BeachEpisode Pool Episode]], and there is exactly one scene of either of them {{Gainaxing}}.

* The two women in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5moS2BHZxME this]] Jawbone cellphone accessories commercial are totally oblivious to the the sight of the two rugby players who are [[GuyOnGuyIsHot aggressively sucking face and peeling off their clothes]] [[MakingLoveInAllTheWrongPlaces in the bar]].

* UsefulNotes/Asexual people.

** Played straight however in ''VideoGame/ProjectXZone'' where both Haken and Kaguya (still in that dress) meets [[VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsOriginalGeneration Sanger]] [[{{Expy}} whom both are based from.]] Not only is he not distracted from Kaguya's clothes, but also if you pair him up with [[VideoGame/StreetFighterII Chun li]] and [[VideoGame/{{Darkstalkers}} Morrigan]], he wouldn't even budge from [[HornyDevils Morrigan's attempts.]]

*** First, as [[TheLeader Roy]] rescues [[AnnoyingYoungerSibling Julia]] from [[HornyDevils Sabine]], she tries to distract him by opening her shirt and offering to let him do ''any''thing he wants to her. Roy is very interested... because what he wants is [[DestinationDefenestration to throw her out a window]].

** Kijin's outfit during the final arc consists of a short top that exposes her arms and [[BareYourMidriff her midriff]], and a slit skirt to [[ShesGotLegs show her legs]]. The straps of whatever bottom underwear she's wearing that shouldn't exist in ancient china are showing. No one makes a single remark.

** Seong-Mina's got a naturally athletic figure, which you can't help seeing since she traverses the continent half naked. Yet, no one bats so much as an eyelash at all the eyecandy [[{{stripperiffic}} she's displaying.]] Not even [[ShesGotLegs her legs]] which are built solidly enough to near rival [[VideoGame/StreetFighterII Chun Li's.]]

Compare to IgnoreTheFanservice, where the FanService is intentional on the part of a character, but a particular character isn't affected for [[SorryImGay one]] [[reason ComicallyMissingThePoint or]] [[UsefulNotes/{{Asexuality}} another]]. May lead to the fanservice character wondering why [[ArentYouGoingToRavishMe no one seems interested.]] Contrast with MyEyesAreUpHere where the fanservice is far from unnoticed. See also NerdNanny.

* ''ComicBook/TheSandman'': Her outfits aren't exactly {{Stripperiffic}} so much as looking like she forgot something when she got dressed, but Delirium more often than not walks around wearing ripped-up mesh shirts and/or open tops that expose her nipples, and [[UnusuallyUninterestingSight nobody ever comments on this]]. Mind you, the nipples are pretty much the only thing there to see, because Delirium is a child, she is primarily shown interacting with her own family, and it's probably [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} not]] the [[RummageSaleReject first thing]] you notice about her, anyways. But still, it isn't even mentioned once. It's hard to tell how old she's supposed to be physically, apart from "definitely not an adult". The general fandom consensus seems to be 13 or 14 (which is still kinda young for DistractedByTheSexy, granted), but it seems to fluctuate depending on the artist (justified by her being an AnthropomorphicPersonification of [[MadGod madness]]).
* Occurs in ''ComicBook/SinCity'' quite a bit. Marv's parole officer is a hot lesbian who first shows up in-story, wearing a pair of panties and nothing else. Marv doesn't seem to care. In another story, Wallace spurs the advances of Blue Eyes, a deadly assassin who seduces men to their deaths. While he isn't aware that she's an assassin at first, he still does not succumb to taking advantage of her when she throws herself at him. After he figures it out, he does ''pretend'' to be suddenly interested, but this is just to get her to let down her guard.

-->'''Black Panther''': Misty Knight, it is good to see you again. That is, I mean--\\
'''Misty Knight''': It's alright, your highness. I know what you mean. It seems like we're the only ones '''not''' freaking out over being buck naked.\\
'''Hawkeye''': [[LampshadeHanging That's probably from all our years in skin-tight spandex.]]

* ''ComicBook/RobinSeries'': Tim is immune to attempts at distracting him with flirtations and sexy wiles, which frustrates some of his opponents like Lynx who tried to get him to let down his guard by flirting to no end. It irritates some of his allies too, like [[ComicBook/Superboy1994 Kon-El]] when Tim's reaction to some sex-bots of attractive women in the Teen Titans and Justice League is to blow them up.

* A ''plot point'' in one ''ComicBook/BuckGodotZapGunForHire'' story ("The Gallimaufry").

** Liquid Snake runs around shirtless outside in Alaska. Sniper Wolf runs around in Alaska wearing AbsoluteCleavage. The most shamelessly egregious example of this, though, is with Meryl, during her ending. She (dressed in a tiny black halter top) tells Snake that he (shirtless at the time) can't go outside dressed like that, or he'll freeze, and runs off to find something warm to put on herself. He puts on a shirt, and she puts on an orange jacket which has no sleeves, leaving her arms totally bare. The game attempts to HandWave it by saying that everyone on the project is using "anti-freezing peptides", but Snake, injected with the same peptide, is the only character in the entire cast to respond to the cold even vaguely like a normal person.

* In ''Film/JasonsLyric'', when entering the restaurant where his love interest, Lyric, works at, Lyric's co-worker, Marti, welcomes Jason and his friend, Rat, in a seductive manner. But, Jason is oblivious as he's immediately distracted by Lyric's beauty.
