See, the UA idea I had for countering this would be some bit of dialogue
where a MAN is being forced to strip at gunpoint by another man.

"Strip naked.  Do it quickly!"

"Ohmigodohmigodohmigod... you're gonna RAPE me, ain'tcha?"

"No."

"You are!  You're gonna wait until I'm naked and then you're gonna do it!"

"Cripes, whaddaya take me for, some kind of pervert?  I'm just makin' sure
you don' follow me when I leave."

"I don' believe you!  You wanna do me up the butt!"

"I DO NOT!  Man, you should see some kind of head doctor.  You got a real
syndrome working there.  Now you gonna strip down or do I put a hole in
your back?"
