I don't think we need to specify "not bisexual" right at the top of the page; we already link to Depraved Bisexual for the bi version further down


The DistaffCounterpart of the DepravedHomosexual and very much ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: a lesbian woman who is described as [[AxCrazy mentally unstable]], villainous or otherwise dangerous ''because'' she's a lesbian i.e. [[NoBisexuals not a bisexual]]. She will often be described as covetous of other women and [[DoesNotLikeMen irrationally hateful towards the male gender]], if only because they are taking away too many potential mates. Often a ChildHater too, unless AllLesbiansWantKids (uncommon for this character trope).

This trope carries uncomfortable subtext: [[MoralMyopia go straight or go crazy]]. Or ''at least'' [[UnfortunateImplications have the decency of being bisexual]] so the male audience [[GirlOnGirlIsHot can have something they can enjoy watching.]] For years, a cocktail of censorship and bigotry rendered all lesbian characters on screen exclusively "crazy" and villainous. UsefulNotes/TheHaysCode-era requirements that "deviant" characters (and that included all gay characters of any gender) must not be made sympathetic or rewarded meant that such characters [[BuryYourGays would almost inevitably be toast]] before the final credits rolled -- and this convention has persisted long after the demise of the Code itself.

** ''Manga/PuellaMagiOrikoMagica'': Kirika Kure wished to be anything that Oriko, the girl she loved, needed. Her wish made her a PsychopathicWomanchild {{Yandere}} due to Oriko's very complicated plan to eventually kill [[spoiler:Madoka before she could turn into Walpurgis Night requiring a magical girl SerialKiller.]] As an irregularity for the trope, Oriko falls in love with Kirika as well and Oriko feels immense guilt over how Kirika's been affected by her plans.

Very often motivated by [[WomanScorned an unrequited love]] for a [[IncompatibleOrientation straight woman]] that she wants to herself, which can result in [[MurderTheHypotenuse assassinating the competition]], sometimes even [[WouldHurtAChild getting rid of her desired lover's kids]]. Such a character often doesn't check consent nor the feelings of the woman she's after, all that she wants is that woman to love and desire her back. The more benign versions might stop at [[StalkerWithACrush stalking their beloved]], but most examples are more a case of IfICantHaveYou. Extreme cases are downright predatory in their pursuits, but it's rare sub-type.

* ''HybridXHeartMagiasAcademyAtaraxia'': Averted with Aldea. While she's an absolutely sadistic BloodKnight, her deep feelings for Grabel are framed as one of her redeeming qualities and even serve as the first sign that the character isn't as evil as she first seems.

** [[https://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm15101170 "The Madness of Lady Venomania"]] (NSFW song and video), the Luka cover of [[Music/EvilliousChronicles "Duke Venomania"]]. The main character played by Luka pulls the same antics Duke Venomania does, which is using wicked powers to enchant and collect a harem of women to use as {{Sex Slave}}s. She even physically changes into a more demonic appearance near the end. However, the video has a very noticeable BlackComedy vibe to it, seeing as Lady Venomania's harem even includes a [[SuperDeformed chibi]], Sweet Ann, and ''Shiteyanyo''.

* ''VideoGame/WolfInSheepsClothing'' is about a mentally ill trans girl who has a family history of ''serious'' mental instability and is losing the war against her inner demons. Her only link to sanity is her best friend Colette, who she has a disturbing desire to lick on the bleeding nose. [[spoiler:Sadly, she can't overcome her violent urges and goes homicidally insane, and her last words are toxic and manipulative towards her love interest Colette.]]

* The sadistic Nazi Ingrid in Roberto Rossellini's seminal classic ''Rome, Open City'' (1945). Ingrid plies her targets with luxuries like narcotics and fine clothes in order to gather information on the Italian resistance in Rome; eventually disposing of them when they outlive their usefulness. The young woman she seduces doesn't come off too well either, but she's desperate, bitter, and impoverished in war-torn Rome and is somewhat easier to sympathize with.

* In ''Series/CriminologistHimuraAndMysteryWriterArisugawa'', the culprit who murdered an idol in the "Waiting for Jack the Ripper" case is revealed to be [[spoiler:the idol's producer, a woman who had become obsessed with the idol. When the idol tried to leave her group, the producer killed her so that [[IfICantHaveYou no-one else could have her]], then framed her body in a "beautiful" way.]] This is notably contrasted by a fellow member of the idol group, a shy and kind-hearted lesbian who was also in love with the idol.
