  • Basic Trope: A Curse which acts as Laser-Guided Karma, usually cast by a wise woman of some sort. * Straight: Bob gets a Gender Bender Curse for dissing women around Alice of the Arcana. * Exaggerated: Bob gets a Gender Bender curse for telling one sexist joke at a rowdy party with a lot of political incorrectness going around. Alice just happened to hear him specifically. * Downplayed: * Bob gets turned into a girl for a day. * The curse will break when Bob learns his lesson. * Justified: * Inverted: * Bob is overheard by Alice calling Charlie out on his sexist joke. Bob scores with a Magical Girlfriend that night, implicitly thanks to Alice's magic, and the Casanova Wannabe Charlie gets nothing. * Alice of the Arcana overhears Bob making sexist comments... so she turns herself into a man to see if being male really is that much better. * Subverted: Alice threatens Bob with a Gender Bender Curse, then casts a spell which... makes a flashy lightshow. Bob is unaffected. * Double Subverted: Bob wakes up a girl the next day. * Parodied: * Deconstructed: Bob calls What the Hell, Hero? on Alice, and challenges her on her own morality for the Disproportionate Retribution. Violence may also ensue. * Reconstructed: Alice reveals her Blue and Orange Morality, and fades away into the shadows before Bob can turn his wrath on her. * Zig Zagged: Bob insults women around Alice, who threatens him with a Gender Bender Curse and casts a spell on him. It does nothing. Bob wakes up female the next day. After Hilarity Ensues, he seems to learn his lesson, and the Curse reverses itself. Bob then gets a case of Aesop Amnesia, and makes another insulting sexist comment to Claire. *Poof* - he turns into a girl again. * Averted: Nobody gets cursed. * Enforced: The writers want to teach An Aesop. * Lampshaded: *poof* "Oh, don't tell me, she was a gypsy." Bob checks his chest. "DAMMIT!" * Invoked: Alice wants to test her new Laser-Guided Karma spell, so she uses it on the first person she sees doing something "wrong", no matter how minor. * Defied: Bob minds his manners around Alice of the Arcana, knowing her reputation. * Exploited: Bob tricks Charlie into saying something rude around Alice, so that she curses him. * Discussed: * Conversed: * Played for Laughs: * Played for Drama: Back to Gypsy Curse.
