The opposite of a Shameful Strip, the Defiant Strip is when a character strips naked as an act of protest, or to make a point. The key factors are that they remove their clothing themselves, are not ashamed of their nakedness, and are doing it for some reason other than to flaunt their bodies. The reason for the strip can vary. If someone else is planning to forcibly strip a character, they may do it first to deny their captors the pleasure and maintain a modicum of control over the situation. If someone accuses them of faking their attributes, they may strip off to prove everything they have is absolutely natural. They may strip off publicly as a protest to draw attention to their cause and embarrass the powers that be. A common variant is when a character defiantly strips only to become embarrassed and have a Naked Freak-Out when someone new enters the scene. Maybe they're doing it in defiance of one specific person and didn't want to be seen by others, or maybe the newcomers are the few people they didn't want to be caught by (friends, family, love interest, etc.). Most often Played for Laughs but, but can also be Played for Drama. As the below examples demonstrate, most instances tend to be women. Compare Battle Strip, which is the prelude to a fight. Also compare with Mooning, where someone shows defiance by baring their buttocks. May overlap with Giving Them the Strip if a character shows no hesitance or shame in getting naked to escape after their clothes have been caught on something or grabbed by someone trying to catch them. |

This was one of the things that got Sable popular with the fans. Her boyfriend Marc Mero had been getting jealous of her popularity, and he started making her wear unflattering outfits, culminating in forcing her to wear a potato sack. Of course Sable waited until she was in the ring and then ripped the potato sack off to reveal a bikini. There was also the swimsuit competition where she initially wore a conservative top, only to pull it off and reveal latex paint handprints. | |

Grey's Anatomy: Izzie is mocked by Alex for having done some work as a model in the past. After he plasters photos of one of her lingerie photoshoots all over the locker room, she finally has had enough. In one of the show's most iconic scenes, she strips down in front of everyone, inviting them to "check out the booty that put Izzie Stevens through medical school." She then shuts Alex up by saying, "You want to call me 'Dr. Model'? That's fine. Just remember that while you're sitting on two hundred grand of student loans, I'm out of debt." | |

Farscape. The episode "Throne for a Loss" shows a two-for-one. When Zhaan offering clothes to a reptilian prisoner, he tries to shake her by opening his robe. She responds by complimenting him on his body, before dropping her own robes entirely and allowing him a long look at her naked body. The prisoner seems equally discomfited and aroused. | |

Degrassi: The Next Generation: In the seventh-season episode "Hungry Eyes", where, after initially taking a job as a spokesmodel for "Purple Dragon" energy drink in order to defuse criticism that she was too "predictable", Emma takes a stand against, no, not the sexual objectification of the models (although she did have some criticism of that, too), but with the company's ideals. She does this by ripping off her Sensual Spandex Purple Dragon outfit on stage in front of the whole school. | |

Dominika instead strips completely naked in a sexually dominant fashion and essentially tells the man he is to service her. This proves an Instant Turn-Off, and Dominika explains that what the man wants is "power". | |

Bob's Burgers: In "Beefsquatch", Bob gets a cooking segment on a local TV show, but Gene keeps interrupting while wearing a Sasquatch mask. The producers think this makes for good television and encourages their rivalry, which devolves to the point where Bob and Gene fight on camera. Upset at what the TV show is doing to her family, Linda tries to stop the broadcast, first by swearing (which fails because the words she thinks are swears aren't as strong as she thought) then by flashing her breasts on air, which gets them cancelled. | |

Axa refuses to be a mindless brood mother in a Crapsaccharine World City in a Bottle. She makes a run for the airlock and escapes into the wild, where her pursuers dare not venture. Axa will later fashion a bandeau top and loincloth from what's left of her uniform. | |

A variation of this trope plays a major role in the climax of Stick It. At the National Gymnastics Championships, Mina performs an incredibly complicated routine on the vault without making a single mistake, but doesn't get a perfect score because one of her bra straps inadvertently started showing, which makes her lose points. Protagonist Haley is the next to go, but instead steps up to the horse used for the vault, pulls down her leotard to show her bra strap, and taps the equipment. This action, known as a "scratch," immediately disqualifies her. The other contestants realize what Haley is doing and join the cause, with each woman stepping up, showing her bra strap, and touching the horse, forcing the judges to award Mina the gold medal by default. The gymnasts then team up to deliberately subvert the judges' archaic rules by unanimously deciding the best athlete in each contest and then disqualifying themselves to ensure that she wins the top prize. | |

In the SpongeBob SquarePants episode, "Bossy Boots", Pearl turns the Krusty Krab into a teenage paradise called the Kuddly Krab and gives Mr. Krabs, SpongeBob, and Squidward new uniforms to wear. While SpongeBob and Mr. Krabs both like the new uniforms, Squidward does not, and when a sign for the Kuddly Krab gets put up, Squidward tries to knock it down. After Millie and Fred mistake Squidward for a lady when they ask him where they can get something to eat (believing that Mr. Krabs sold the Krusty Krab), Squidward quits out of frustration and rips his uniform off, leaving him naked. At this point, a police officer shows up and puts a ticket over Squidward's groin (which is odd, since Squidward normally doesn't wear pants anyway). | |

One episode of Boston Legal features a group of women protesting for feminism by marching through the streets of the city topless. They're all arrested and charged with indecent exposure; if a jury finds them guilty, they would be forced to register as sex offenders for the rest of their lives. It falls to the firm to protect them; it is ultimately Shirley who gets them off the hook by invoking the spirit of protest that lives in Boston's history. Denny, meanwhile, is frustrated because he expected the women to still be topless at the trial, complaining to Alan that "You took me to the circus and didn't let me see the elephants." | |

In the season 1 finale of Julie and the Phantoms, Luke, Alex, and Reggie are dressed in enchanted high-end suits by Caleb as he gives them An Offer You Can't Refuse in the form of a musical number. However, once they are able to break free of the spell and reunite with Julie, their outfits have changed to match their usual style, illustrating that they stayed true to themselves and their band regardless of the cost. Luke ditches the jacket and the sleeves of his shirt entirely, as he is The Leader and a Mr. Fanservice; Alex wears his jacket open with his shirt collar and sleeves partially undone, as he is the most gentle, laid-back member of the group; and Reggie sheds the jacket and wears a few extra pins on his vest, fitting his somewhat punk-inspired aesthetic. | |

A PG-rated version in Foundation and Earth, when the protagonists have landed on the world of Comporellon in sub-zero temperatures. Bliss is suffering terribly from the cold, but rather than be frisked she throws her heated coat off and points out that the thin blouse and slacks she's wearing underneath couldn't possibly conceal a weapon. | |

Kill la Kill has shades of this in the first few episodes. The show's premise is that people can gain superpowers from clothing, but the two most powerful costumes are Stripperiffic. Ryuko has to work up the nerve to wear hers in public, while Satsuki loudly proclaims that she will "gladly bare my breasts for the sake of my AMBITION!" | |

In Assassin's Creed II, Caterina Sforza defiantly flashes the Orsi Brothers (who have kidnapped her children) from atop a tower in Forlì by lifting her dress to them and telling them she "has the instruments to make more [babies]". | |

In the Millennium Series, when Lisbeth Salander is first brought to live with her legal guardian Holger Palmgren, she decides to take off her clothes and walk around his house naked just to see what he will do. When he chastises her for this, she decides that he is probably not a pedophile, and he becomes one of the few people she trusts. | |

The Raven Tower: In Iraden, sitting naked in front of someone's house is a deadly serious accusation that they have committed a major transgression. Mawat does this outside the palace to accuse his uncle of usurping his throne. | |

In Inu × Boku SS, the servants of Nobara Yukinokouji's family put her in a youkai power-sealing kimono to keep her from running away from her Arranged Marriage. Nobara doesn't hesitate to take off the kimono in front of the servants and her arranged fiancé, proclaiming she doesn't care if she must go back to Maison de Ayakashi naked in order to return to Ririchiyo and Karuta. | |

In Young Guns II, the madame who sheltered the Regulators is run out of town by the citizens of White Oaks. She shows her contempt for their hypocrisy by removing everything except her boots and hat, riding off bareback and butt naked. | |

Star Trek: The Next Generation: Troi's mother is getting married to a man she doesn't love (and barely seems to like) mostly because it's her last chance to be married. Throughout the episode, she's reminded of all the compromises she'll be making, but she doesn't want to call off the marriage. In the end, she decides not to compromise and shows up for the ceremony in the traditional Betazoid wedding attire: nothing. The groom is scandalized and ends the relationship. | |
