Paladin of Shadows/Fridge
- John Ringo. The Villain Protagonist of the Paladin of Shadows series, a would-be kiddy diddler who hunts and kills actual rapists and pedophiles. Origin of "OH JOHN RINGO NO". Author Appeal in describing the protagonist's arousal at seeing young women - girls, really, brutally victimized and forced into prostitution? OR, utterly brutal no-holds-barred Deconstruction of Evil Is Sexy and/or Draco in Leather Pants tropes? (Possibly even a Take That at fans thereof.)
- Word of God has it that the series is meant as a deconstruction of numerous tropes in men's adventure fiction (including those mentioned above) and a Take That at the fans thereof. Ringo supports a charity that helps rehabilitate girls/women forced into prostitution.
