[[folder:Literal Sperm Donor 2/50]]
1. FanonDiscontinuity/TheSimpsons

* "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS24E3AdventuresInBabyGetting Adventures in Baby-Getting]]", which reveals that Homer [[GlorifiedSpermDonor donated his sperm]] in the past, and now he has a massive number of offspring, all over the world, raised by different women. It throws Bart, Lisa, and Maggie ''hard'' into UniquenessDecay. It also throws up a nonsensical line in Homer declaring he never ''wanted'' to be a father, which not only would make his donation to a sperm bank particularly stupid, but also contradicts his clear enjoyment of being a father in the "classic" seasons.

2. Film/DeliveryMan

* GlorifiedSpermDonor: David sold a great amount of sperm to the sperm bank, fathering over 500 people under a pseudonym. Once most of them grew up, they tried to nullify his anonymity through legal means. David sued the sperm bank to prevent this from happening, and won the case. [[spoiler: Not long after, he decides to reveal his identity publicly. All his children began to love him dearly.]]

The closest to a correct wick. The father in question is unable to return, but it still fits the idea that biological father is more significant than the one who raised him.

* DeceasedParentsAreTheBest: Upon learning that his dead [[GlorifiedSpermDonor biological father]] was a powerful, handsome, and courageous lawyer, Bart immediately identifies with him to the point that he throws aside his living parents.

1. Manga/OokuTheInnerChambers

* GlorifiedSpermDonor: Yoshimune views the members of the Ooku as this, with a rotation schedule for her visits to her multiple regular partners and frequent quickies with servants. Yoshimune's deliberate lack of favoritism prevents harem power grabs, since none of her concubines have special access to her to use as leverage. When she finds herself pregnant, it also means that [[MamasBabyPapasMaybe none of them can gainsay her]] when she names a weak and malleable one-night-stand as the father.

''However'', there are still a couple of villains who stand out all the more for their wickedness and lack of redeeming qualities.
** Count Varley of the Empire and Baron Bartels of the Kingdom, for similar reasons. Both are major AbusiveParents who are directly responsible for the mental issues and trauma of their children (Bernadetta for the former and Mercedes and Jeritza for the latter). Varley regularly verbally abused Bernadetta and left her tied to a chair to pigeonhole her into [[StayInTheKitchen a submissive housewife he could marry off for profit]], both of which have caused her to become an emotionally devastated ShrinkingViolet who [[TheShutIn can barely stand to be outside her dorm room for more than a few minutes at a time]]. Bartels took in Mercedes and her mother [[GlorifiedSpermDonor for the express purpose of siring a child with a Crest for himself]] and [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness planned to send them off once he had what he wanted]], only to change his mind -- because he wanted to ''[[WifeHusbandry sire another child with a Crest with Mercedes]]''. The sheer horror of that latter intention [[SanitySlippage caused Jeritza to go berserk]], [[spoiler:and awakened his evil BloodKnight SplitPersonality, the Death Knight, who [[PayEvilUntoEvil killed Bartels in retaliation]]]].

Varley does get some nice OffscreenKarma in Bernadetta's epilogue slides where [[spoiler:she severs all ties to him so he can't benefit from whatever life choices or marriages she undergoes]].

* GlorifiedSpermDonor: Pierce and (deceased) Lance's father turns out to have been this. Two rogues came to the village Taja was alpha of. Taja was impressed by how the eldest was able to survive in the wild, probably for as long as Taja had lived, and he agreed to pass his strong blood down.

This power is matrilineal, and the male side of the family is basically just a GlorifiedSpermDonor. This system is maintained by thorough indoctrination and what is basically a lobotomy.]]



* DisappearedDad: Melissa's father is described as "[[GlorifiedSpermDonor little more than a hit-and-run]]".

** Aristov [[GlorifiedSpermDonor has never seen his daughter because of her mother's decision]].



* GlorifiedSpermDonor: Flynn's father was probably this.



* ''Literature/ASongOfIceAndFire'': In general, it's quite common for the nobility of all ranks, from common knights to kings, to have extramarital dalliances that result in noble and royal bastards. These are not legally considered children of their parents, meaning that they cannot inherit land or titles unless made legitimate by royal decree, although it doesn't stop some from trying to claim what they feel is their birthright anyway. Traditionally, they're given a shared last name used throughout each of the kingdoms, rather than taking their father's -- Snow in the North, Stone in the Vale, Rivers in the Riverlands, Waters in the Crownlands, Hill in the Westerlands, Pyke in the Iron Islands, Flowers in the Reach, Storm in the Stormlands and Sand in Dorne. They cannot usually take their noble father's coat of arms, but many use it with its colors inverted, with a bend sinister -- a bar running from top right to bottom left -- across it, or both.
** The Blackfyre Rebellions were caused by Aegon the Unworthy, who fathered a notorious number of children outside of his marriage, legitimizing all of his bastards on his deathbed, while also spreading claims [[MamasBabyPapasMaybe his legitimate son was sired]] [[AFamilyAffair by his brother]]. The four "Great Bastards" are noted for playing important roles in the Targaryen family rather than Aegon merely being a GlorifiedSpermDonor like most nobles; one, in particular, Daemon Blackfyre, funded a splinter branch of House Targaryen named after himself, using its parent house's heraldry with inverted colors (a three-headed black dragon on red, rather than a red one of black), which despite being exiled contested the Targaryen throne on and off for several centuries.

* ''Franchise/{{Metroid}}'':
** In general, details concerning protagonist Samus Aran's backstory -- her early childhood on the the mining colony of K-2L, the death of her parents at the hands of Ridley, being raised by the Chozo, etc. -- have historically been relegated to supplemental material such as the [[ComicBook/SuperMetroid comics]] and [[Manga/MetroidManga manga]], as well as the occasional game manual. This has occasionally led to some plot elements in the games coming across as somewhat confusing or even misleading due to the lack of context, such as the reveal at the end of ''VideoGame/MetroidDread'' that [[spoiler:Raven Beak is her father]], which skips over the detail that [[spoiler:he was nothing more than a GlorifiedSpermDonor that assisted Samus's ''actual'' Chozo caregivers [[HalfHumanHybrid in altering her genetics]]]].

This trope largely has its roots in American service men bringing home wives from U.S. wars in Asia. At the time there was a stigma to the servicemen there [[SonOfAWhore impregnating hookers]] and marrying Asian women [[MadonnaWhoreComplex that were pretty much seen as call girls]]. In other cases, said service men [[GlorifiedSpermDonor got the women pregnant and then rotated home]], leaving said women and their children to face social stigma (DefiledForever for the mother and [[BastardAngst illegitimacy]] and HalfBreedDiscrimination for the child), especially once Vietnam was unified.

Compare and contrast this with MissingMom. Combine the two, and you get ParentalAbandonment. Sometimes, though, DaddyHadAGoodReasonForAbandoningYou. If Dad is dead, we may see a HappierHomeMovie. If he is simply too busy to be with his child, it's WhenYouComingHomeDad. If he doesn't have a lot of time but is willing to spend money on gifts and trips for the kids, it's DisneylandDad. If he's wanted by the authorities, then he's a NotoriousParent. If he had some excuse to leave in the short term and then never returned, it's ParentNeverCameBackFromTheStore. NoFathersAllowed is this on a societal level. See also TellMeAboutMyFather, SoProudOfYou, TurnOutLikeHisFather, GlorifiedSpermDonor, and AmbiguouslyAbsentParent. Contrast WellDoneSonGuy.

* ''VideoGame/FireEmblemThreeHouses'': The game is awash with GreyAndGrayMorality with the majority of antagonists ''and'' protagonists committing horrible acts for good reasons, and on the various routes, they will all show good and evil sides to themselves and remain sympathetic even as antagonists. Even the likes of the Flame Emperor/[[spoiler:Edelgard]] is shown to be a WellIntentionedExtremist with a ''very'' justifiable reason for their actions, [[spoiler:and Rhea/Seiros, despite her insanity, has a tragic backstory for it]]. ''However'', there are still a couple of villains who stand out all the more for their wickedness and lack of redeeming qualities.
** Count Varley of the Empire and Baron Bartels of the Kingdom, for similar reasons. Both are major AbusiveParents who are directly responsible for the mental issues and trauma of their children (Bernadetta for the former and Mercedes and Jeritza for the latter). Varley regularly verbally abused Bernadetta and left her tied to a chair to pigeonhole her into [[StayInTheKitchen a submissive housewife he could marry off for profit]], both of which have caused her to become an emotionally devastated ShrinkingViolet who [[TheShutIn can barely stand to be outside her dorm room for more than a few minutes at a time]]. Bartels took in Mercedes and her mother [[GlorifiedSpermDonor for the express purpose of siring a child with a Crest for himself]] and [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness planned to send them off once he had what he wanted]], only to change his mind -- because he wanted to ''[[WifeHusbandry sire another child with a Crest with Mercedes]]''. The sheer horror of that latter intention [[SanitySlippage caused Jeritza to go berserk]], [[spoiler:and awakened his evil BloodKnight SplitPersonality, the Death Knight, who [[PayEvilUntoEvil killed Bartels in retaliation]]]]. These two are especially notable because [[TheGhost the player never gets to meet either of them in person]] in the original game, with word of Varley being placed under house arrest after the Flame Emperor takes control of the Empire being the only time he becomes relevant to the story for even a moment. Varley does get some nice OffscreenKarma in Bernadetta's epilogue slides where [[spoiler:she severs all ties to him so he can't benefit from whatever life choices or marriages she undergoes]]. ''Three Hopes'' also allows you to either [[spoiler:[[AssholeVictim kill him]] or [[RefuseToRescueTheDisliked allow him to die]]]] depending on which path you chose.
