No YKTTW? Someone puts this as an edit reason, I\'ll cut their contributor page and all pages linked to on it (\'\'just kidding\'\' -Ed.). Overlap with other tropes? EnsembleDarkhorse? No. NoJustNo would be unfair but well... I\'m going to do it anyway for DracoInLeatherPants is a much better comparison. However this includes more than just villains and antagonistic characters and I think it is something that can often happen with side characters who seem interesting or just manage to perform their function well. Only one example on the page is even a villain at this moment.

Only one example on the page is even a villain at this moment and part of the point is that this comes at the expense of or despite hating the work generally.

Agreed that it was bizarre all around, but the question is whether the lines in our main article qualify as UnfortunateImplications. Since I\'m the one who did the most recent edit of the example, I\'d say yes - in no way did the Enlightenment stop the rich and privileged from getting away with crimes like rape, and instances like the Roman Polanski case show that even self-confessed fugitive rapists can get plenty of public support in Western countries if they move in the right circles.

In light of the most recent remark on the page, I\\\'d note that whilst some cultures are indeed more tolerant of rape than others, this is not directly and wholly linked to their descent from the Enlightenment, and is not divided into the extremes suggested by the quote.
On a slightly more personal note, which blog was this? I, for one, first noted the oddity whilst reading the story - it was only later that I encountered several others saying the same thing on the Internet.
