One oddity with putting MenageA3 on this page: there are no \\\"bad guys\\\" to compare protagonist characters to. We\\\'re forced to compare their behavior with the real world instead. And while Zii is the most obvious example in terms of her sheer ability to create and get away with events that should be calling for serious police and counseling activities in real life, this series and its spinoffs have a large number of people who, when sharing their sexuality with others, create an amazing variety of \\\"nobody could reasonably have been expecting what ended up happening to them\\\", and we don\\\'t see much evidence of the damage and trauma which should be there in the real world. (Yuki, certainly, but in her case it\\\'s actually disproportionate enough to not be RealityEnsues.)
The thing is, it doesn\\\'t seem to be that the work presents all of this stuff as more okay because they\\\'re the protagonists; it seems to be more that in this setting \\\"all of this stuff\\\" never works out as badly as in real life regardless of who\\\'s responsible for it, and so isn\\\'t treated as badly in the setting as we might expect. There\\\'s dissonance, and a trope there, but I don\\\'t think it\\\'s this one.
