I've wondered that for a long, long time. I think it's partially the "JAPAN!!!" thing and that anime characters and interactions between them tends to break down really formulaicly, and having social skills break down to interpreting archetypes is probably really appealing.

E: to clarify, I'm not saying formulaic writing is anime/JRPG only, but that they have specific names for all these personalities/relationships and they are less keen on subversion or deconstruction.

Okay.

The Osamu Tezuka story Ode to Kirihito also uses rape and Stockholm syndrome as a major theme. The difference being that they usually turn out horribly, and at least one case involves the rapist going insane and throwing himself in front of a moving truck. The only relationship that turns out semi-well is...unique, let's put it that way.

I don't think we read the same "Pamela".

She isn't raped in the book. Nor is she locked in a cage. She is kept against her will at an estate, but again she is not raped. Squire B tries his best to seduce her, but she refuses him. He offers her money, estates for her poverty-stricken parents, and she still turns him down as to become his mistress is to be a prostitute. She holds out until he finally marries her.

Now, there are loads of 18th C novels full of rape & sexual violence, but "Pamela" isn't one of them. It's still sexy as hell, with implied lesbian scenes, nudity, and so on, but next to something like "Fanny Hill" it's pretty tame.

Is there anything that really links over to the behavior of Denise? In its time there were loads of "Pamela" fanfics, fan art, and so on. They're called 'derivative works' but that's all fan work is anyway.

Scary to think that there must have been 18th C versions of Denise around, although instead of being married to various digimon it would be satyrs and such from classical antiquity.

Interlude 2: Le Fursécution!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q: I am really good at google. Can I do some internet detective poo poo on your stories?

A: NO.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Stage Play
There were two projects which came out from the Thespian Society: the Stage Play, and the Bollywood Musical. The Stage Play was titled Trials and Tribulations,:effort:.

The Stage Play took two semesters to plan, choreograph, script, rehearsed and set up. It involved a lot of students from the law faculty, most of them doing the dance. Henriette, bless her, kept a tight lid on the story of the Stage Play. The show was lip-synced, so only some people had scripts, and most actors were just told “go here, act angry against him, look dejected, walk away.”

One person I forgot to include in the Cast of Characters is Shum, who was the star of the Stage Play. Before joining the Thespian Society, Shum appeared in some Malaysian reality television show highly similar to Dragon’s Den but for youths to kickstart their dreams and be successful in an unorthodox field. His specialty was Indian Carnatic Singing. He did not win, but got tons of publicity and did a number of public performances after that in religious and traditional events. Shum was pretty charming and talented, which makes his being part of the Thespian Society somewhat tragic. I have no idea where he is now, but Shum came out of the Thespian Society pretty unscathed.

Trials and Tribulations… well, it was pretty preachy, to be honest, and the younger me did not :spergin: hard enough to put the account in writing. All I could recall was that the show involved the following plot:

Trials and Tribulations posted:

Shum was a poor kid who had strong moral and religious values. His friend, Seng, was a rich spoiled brat who did not believe in traditional Eastern values, and belittled Shum constantly for being poor. Shum respected his mother (Henriette) and honoured her wishes and listened to her advice, so he grew up to be a successful doctor and took care of her when she was old. Seng was an rear end to his mother, went out partying every night, wasted all his money and became… a janitor. Show ends with Shum meeting Seng and offering Seng help, the latter who rejects him but later accepts that Shum was a better man than he was.

:qq: That was exhilarating! The show was obviously full of moralistic rubbish which nobody gave a poo poo about. However, Henriette did a couple of strange things for the Stage Play:

1. A scene involved Shum being frustrated with working so hard in school, so Henriette consoled him and advised him to study hard so as to be successful (so loving Asian). Somehow, this scene did a 180 – Shum knelt down before Henriette, then she started hanging flower bracelets around Shum, took a lamp and poured water over his head and sang in Hindi. How does encouragement to study turn into a Hindu ritual? I have no idea.

2. When Shum grew up to be a loving famous doctor, Henriette was old and frail and one of those contestants that just won't get eliminated from The Amazing Race. All her lip synch dialogue was practically her coughing and hacking after each second word, so nobody ever knew what she was talking about. This was a conscious decision on her part.

3. Min had a scene where she was a bitchy girl goading Seng into partying with her and her friends. Henriette apparently wasn’t a big fan of Min, because Min’s lip synch voice was changed to a dude (probably Jake Long, American Dragon) doing a high pitch falsetto with a script making Min sound like a complete ditz. Min refused to speak to Henriette for months, although thankfully she did not tell anyone Henriette raped her.

4. Vina, who acted as Seng’s mother and is Malay, had her lip synch voice changed to someone with a thick Chinese accent. Vina never really knew Henriette, so the change remains unexplained.

5. You would recall I mention there was dancing in the show. Well, they were traditional Malay, Chinese and Indian dances. “But, The Saddest Rhino,” you ask, “the only way dancing can fit in is in the nightclub with Seng. How does this work?”

Here's how. After Seng got goaded into partying, he and Min’s friends did some awkward “dancing” to some “techno music”. The music stopped, and some random dude came in stage left, shouting something about how youths today no longer respect elders and follow Eastern values, etc. Seng and co quietly left stage right, clearly in awe of this random dude’s preaching.

Random dude continued his monologue, and then shifted and went into patriotism. Two guys entered the stage behind him, holding a gigantic Malaysian flag. The Malaysian national anthem was played and the :stare:ing audience were suddenly asked to stand. Then the music changed, girls ran in on to the stage in traditional garb, and the traditional dances began.

That's right. In a nightclub of people drinking and dancing to degenerate Western house music, someone comes in with a Malaysian flag, his patriotism so moving that everyone changes their way, put on respectable Eastern clothing, and does respectable docile dances instead. Also they dance to the Malaysian national anthem.

6. Henriette ended the show with a song, and she sang/screamed the Phantom of the Opera. Again. After we heard it first in the Hawaiian farewell party and the Law Prom that semester. Girl was resilient to change.

For one reason or another, I seem to recall that the show was considered a success and Henriette actually got more people into the Thespian Society. Law faculty students were less willing to enter, already fully aware of how strange she was (and how bad her singing was). Henriette was on her way up, and there was only one thing left to do.

A social superior sexually assaulting a teenage girl (once while she's dressed as his mother, once after he hid in the closet to watch her strip naked, and once while disguised as a woman :freud:) and keeps her trapped in a house until she agrees to bang him has some rapey implications.
