Anyway, the Wheel of Time entry isn\'t an example of this trope.

Anyway, the Wheel of Time entry isn\\\'t an example of this trope. There might be shades of VictimFallsForRapist, since Mat much later admits some affection for Tylin (even though even at that point, their relationship was uncomfortably coercive) and is devastated when [[spoiler:he accidentally allows the gholam to kill her]], but there\\\'s nothing like \\\"not if they enjoyed it.\\\" The closest it comes is Elayne learning what\\\'s happening, realizing that it\\\'s fucked up, but initially thinking it\\\'s karmic punishment for Mat (who she still believed was TheCasanova, not just a ChivalrousPervert). Only initially, since she comes around and orders Tylin to stop (which unfortunately doesn\\\'t take once Mat\\\'s trapped in the city).

I get the feeling the writer just hated Elayne and Nynaeve, since Mat never actually seeks help from them in the first place, the whole \\\"forced apology\\\" thing had nothing to do with the Tylin situation, and they (along with basically everyone else, at first) didn\\\'t realize Mat was being victimized as opposed to seducing the queen, let alone laugh at him over it.
