  Bob: No weird positions! No kinks! No items! Fox only! Final Destination!

Cquote2
  • Deconstructed: Bob may be feeling insecure about his own sexuality, and puts others down (or hurts them) to make himself feel better. This may stem from any number of things, including (but not limited to) his culture and his religion.
    • Alternatively, Bob has religious beliefs that make him believe homosexuality to be bad but also influence him to "hate the sin but love the sinner". He believe that there is an "the gay agenda" that hurt people by corrupting them into gayness, but that it's best not to target the individuals, just the behavior, but to do it as ethically as possible. Unless he live in a setting where there actually is an evil gay conspiracy, he's a Troubled Sympathetic Bigot.
  • Lampshaded: "Bob has some... issues about gay men. Makes you wonder, doesn't it?"
  • Averted: Bob never discusses his views on sexuality.
  • Enforced: It's an Author Tract about sexuality.
  • Invoked: Bob learns in religion class that anything other than a married male-female couple having sex for reproductive purposes is wrong and that he need to fight to "protect" marriage, etc.
    • Alternatively, Alice give a little speech about the destructiveness of heteronormativity and discrimination, maybe accusing Bob of being a bigot while she's at it.
  • Defied: Bob makes an active effort to be open-minded about sexuality, gender roles, etc.
  • Discussed: "Bob, what's with hating the gays?" "It's a disease, Alice. Those filthy sodomites are diseased, and I'm trying to persuade them to seek a cure for their illness."
  • Conversed: "OK, so this character hates gays. And bisexuals. And bondage. And masturbation." "Is there any sexual contact he likes?" "Well, maybe the kind within religiously-recognized heterosexual marriage for the purpose of reproduction, but only if it's in the missionary position."
  • Played For Laughs: Bob is getting into Lawful Stupid territory.
  • Played For Drama: Bob kills someone who he feels is "deviant. Or rapes her: A so-called "curative rape" based on the theory that it will make her stop being a lesbian or masochist or whatever.
