You'd not be surprised if they dressed him up in pigtails and spanked him, reading that wouldn't surprise you? It'd surprise the hell out of me, we must have very differing expectations of this series. Low expectations by you if that wouldn't irritate you, very few books would be enriched by a scene where the main evil guy is partially crossdressed and spanked, in fact in some countries you might even have to be a certain age to read it.
