[[LazerGuidedKarma Guess to say Adam found out the hard way that no means fucking no!!!]]

* HateSink: Gunzel wasn’t supposed to be loved being a rapist and attempted murderer but it did look like he genuinely felt remorse for his actions and was trying to find possible redemption thanks to Tobias but once he the Aryans are able to manipulate him into turning against Tobias???? He easily becomes one of the most hated and despised characters in the entire series as he gives into his unsavory nature by being homophobic, violent and overall a GIGANTIC asshole.

* RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil: While Gunzel isn’t the first convict in Oz for rape but the brutality in the way he conducted it along with him later bragging to the Bikers about how he had poor Sarah face down in the grass while carrying out the heinous deed clearly drives home that this dude is NOT someone you would want around ANY female.
