** Soldier Boy also has a thing for grannies, which is just used to show how depraved his hedonism is.

You'll notice that the majority of the examples below involve feet in some manner. This is because foot fetishes are easy to depict onscreen without being explicit, while still being recognizable as a sexual interest, making foot fetishism the go-to for establishing that someone has a weird kink. Ironically, anyone with a vested interest in human sexuality (academically or [[TheOldestProfession professionally]]) will tell you that feet are the ''tamest'' fetish someone can have.

** Homelander is a complete sociopath and narcissist who has a mommy/milk fetish.

* In ''Manga/[[Berserk]]'', Farnese had pyrophillia, as in, she is aroused by fire and people burning. She is also a sadist to an extent, but mainly when it comes to fire specifically. She has a lot of self-loathing and shame about this, and [[HeelFaceTurn after befriending Guts]], makes strides to channel her desires into something positive.

** Hahari Hanazono has a love for cute things that overrides her common sense. Her businesses have a standing rule of hiring anyone who's cute, no questions asked, and she happily signs off on any sufficiently cute {{Custom Uniform}}s. Within the Rentarou Family, this presents itself as constantly taking snapshots of the other girls and trying to act uncomfortably motherly towards the students in the cast with NoSenseOfPersonalSpace, particularly Kurumi and Kishika, and she's frequently shown drooling anytime she's indulging. When Rentarou sends her glamour shots of himself, he does so while dressed as a kindergartner. Indeed, Hahari is generally considered even more depraved than her own habitually horny daughter, Hakari.

*** Rin is a NightmareFetishist who has an overpowering love for violence. She is also self-aware enough to realize this wouldn't be acceptable in normal society so she keeps a lid on it until she lets it slip in front of Rentarou, the first boy she's ever liked. Fortunately for her Rentarou makes it clear that he still loves her and there's nothing wrong liking what she likes, so long as she isn't ''actually'' harming anybody. The Rentarou Family accept Rin with open arms, as it is already populated by girls with more active quirks and kinks than Rin's, and Rin becomes fast friends with masochist Iku.

This is often PlayedForLaughs, usually CringeComedy, but can also be PlayedForDrama or NightmareFuel. Compare and contrast with CasualKink, BrainsAndBondage, {{Fetish}}, and IKissYourFoot. Also compare PowerDynamicsKink and RobosexualsAreCreeps (which can also be considered a subtrope of this). See also SexualKarma, which can overlap (weird characters are rewarded by the story with weird, therefore kinky, sex). This trope is also distinctive from AuthorAppeal, where a creator's fetish purposely appears in their work, as this trope specifically centers on the demonization and mystification of fetishes. The fetishes do not have to exist in RealLife, but it has to be clear that the sexual interest is a fetish. At the same time, this trope also does not include ''every'' fetish, as some already have a trope of this nature. Bestiality, for example, is BestialityIsDepraved. The same goes for PaedoHunt. [[labelnote: Note]] Along those lines, any paraphilia that is currently ''illegal'' or objectively harmful (as in, any sexual interest that '''cannot''' be acted upon safely and consensually) should '''not be added'''. A character who just gets off on [[{{Sadist}} torture]] or [[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil rape]] is not an example, and if they are depicted as being into consensual rape roleplay or sadomasochism, that is either CasualKink or BondageIsBad depending on how it's depicted. The same goes for fetishes that have become normalized by society, [[BuxomBeautyStandard like breasts]]. Yes, that is technically a fetish, but isn't considered such by most people today due to its near-universality in male heterosexuality. Unless the narrative depicts the fetish in one of the ways described above, it does not count.[[/labelnote]]
