History Main / RaisedByDudes

* Sosuke from ''FullMetalPanic'' was raised entirely around various military and terrorist groups.

* SydneyWhite was this, as her mother died when she was young and she grew up with her father and his construction buddies.

* Subverted in ''Armageddon'', in which Bruce Willis believes Liv Tyler to have been RaisedByDudes, when in fact although she actually HAS been, she is, despite this, and no thanks to him, a perfectly well-rounded and psychologically sound woman.

* Al (short for Alicia) in StepByStep features this in the Lambert's backstory. Growing up in a house with a dad who owns a construction company, a JerkJock older brother, and a fart humor loving younger one, she became very much a tomboy who had trouble getting along with girls her age and got into fights fairly often. On the inverted side, Mark was the youngest son of the Foster family, with a beautician mother and two older sisters who are TheDitz and a [[DeadpanSnarker deadpan snarking]] GranolaGirl, respectively. He has problems mustering up ''any'' kind of masculinity, being a HollywoodNerd who cringes from any kind of conflict (and is, not coincidentally, routinely beaten up by Al). Many episodes from the first few seasons deal with Al and Mark trying to adapt to having an opposite-sex role model, with varying degrees of success.
* Rachel from {{Glee}} has two gay dads. She's socially stilted, being very... focused on singing, and having a viewpoint revolving around Musical Theatre and any tropes involved with that. Admittedly her biological mother has a lot of the same qualities, so some of it's an ItRunsInTheFamily issue.

Subtrope of RaisedByWolves where the character was specifically raised around a bunch of rough guys (or just one) and usually is thus dysfunctional in normal society, especially around women. A girl in this situation often becomes OneOfTheBoys, or IHaveBrothers may apply. The trope may use an exaggerated, [[TestosteronePoisoning Testosterone Overdosed]] version of masculinity.

* Guts from ''{{Berserk}}'' is a ByronicHero who was raised mainly by his abusive stepfather which makes him generally reluctant to form bonds with people. Also, [[spoiler:he doesn't seem that good with his own CreepyChild of a a son either. His lover [[CuteMute Casca]] on the other hand...]]

[[AC:Theatre]]
* In [[WilliamShakespeare The Winter's Tale]], the [[RagsToRoyalty lost]] [[EverythingsBetterWithPrincesses Princess Perdita]] is abandoned as a baby and raised by a Shepherd and his son. Slightly averted in that she seems to have grown up to be a perfectly well-adjusted young woman.

* Sosuke from ''FullMetalPanic'' is so hampered by his upbringing around various military and terrorist groups that he was on the {{Asexuality}} page for some time.

* AsuNoYoichi: The titular character spent his entire life on a mountain with his dad and no other human contact so far as we know. He goes around town and to school in samurai clothes complete with a wooden sword, but he's pretty decent at talking to women, notwithstanding the two elder sisters opinions or his misfortune at being the protagonist of a harem comedy.

* [[{{Ranma 1/2}} Ranma]] grew up with only his amoral and martial arts-obsessed father for guidance. It shows.

* Very nicely subverted by ''La Cage aux Folles'' and its American remake ''The Birdcage''. A man who was raised by a gay couple (he was the result of a heterosexual fling by one of them, and his mother was never involved in his life) becomes a perfectly normal adult, whose ultimate breakthrough at the end comes from telling his fiance's family the truth about it, without any shame.

** It ''does'' raise similar complaints among the hXc family values types. Of course, the regular people who voted against same-sex marriage never saw the DoubleStandard. Of course, the regular people who voted against same-sex marriage [[StrawmanPolitical did so just to prove that they were heterosexual]].

* This is an argument against same-sex marriage, despite the [DoubleStandard fact that a child adopted by a single parent should raise similar complaints]]. Though that sometimes does as well.

* AsuNoYoichi: The titular character spent his entire life on a mountain with his dad and no other human contact so far as we know. He wonders around town in a samurai outfit complete with a wooden sword thankfully he is perfectly fine around woman, except by his {{tsundere}} love interests opinion.
* Prussia from AxisPowersHetalia, according to Hungary.
** Possibly Hungary herself, which would explain her {{Bokukko}} traits.
