At first, it isn't clear how much of this was an act she was instructed to put up to keep Shu and his powers available to her boss, but it becomes a genuine sentiment as the show progresses.
In old works, it's mostly about men trying to avoid being captured by a woman. The Inverted Trope is the avoidance of relationships out of fear of becoming "owned". See also Entitled to Have You, Power Dynamics Kink, and Marital Rape License. However, these three tropes can certainly overlap. However, in some stories kidnapping or coercion can go from Stockholm Syndrome to genuine mutual love.īeing a Love Trope, the Property of Love trope in itself has no inherent connection at all to tropes such as Sex Slave or Happiness in Slavery. It can be an expression, or it can indicate that they're a Stalker with a Crush or a Fetishized Abuser. That means someone merely claiming romantic ownership over someone else doesn't imply this trope in any way. Regardless of justification or lack thereof: When this trope is played straight, it is about a heart freely given, without any coercion or big deceit/manipulation. (For example, Alice is keeping herself " pure" for a hypothetical future husband, or being told that she must do that, with the belief that anything less would be "cheating" on him before she's even met him.) A variation on the standard I Will Wait for You, where the person being waited for hasn't even met the person who's waiting, and might not even exist.However, the story takes place in another time or on another world, and this is emphasized in a way that hints that the Values Dissonance is intended-the reader may be troubled, but the characters themselves are fine with it. Cultural Relativism: The dominance is based on gender or race or similar.That BDSM stories usually aren't about people doing BDSM is for the same reason as to why video games are very rarely about people who play video games. Often the authors prefer a straight unjustified Happiness in Slavery or For the Evulz-often with some Lampshade Hanging. Actual BDSM fiction usually doesn't feature BDSM at all, so if a justification is used at all it's one of the other three. note This one is most commonly used when BDSM is played for drama, comedy, or similar, or when it's some kind of instruction manual. BDSM between Consenting Adults: It's not about gender or race or class or anything like that, it's about who happens to be dominant and who happens to be submissive.See also Double Standard: Rape, Divine on Mortal. Supernatural: The reason Alice keeps pointing out that she belongs to Bob is that she is his HUMAN, not that she is his WOMAN.The writer hopes that its cuteness will avert any Hatedom. Simply Romantic: No real explanation is given.
This trope often includes Freedom from Choice.Ī Property of Love dynamic is often justified in one of several ways: Mutual ownership only goes so far, because at the core it is a kind of power dynamic where the "owner" stands for safety and responsibility, while the owned can relax and feel small in a good way. One common romantic desire is the wish to be owned by one's lover, to be their property.
