History Main / KarmicRape

* In an episode of ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'', Nathan who repeatedly tries to get Jimmy killed is [[BlackComedyRape raped by a shark]]. On screen. Twice. And in a later episode, he's raped by a transvestite, and it was apparently worse than the shark!

But some villains are ''so'' villainous, so ''incredibly'' evil, that "merely" dying seems like they're getting off just a tad too easy. For these villains, AFateWorseThanDeath is in order. To PayEvilUntoEvil, for [[KickTheSonOfABitch the very worst of the worst]], we have Karmic Rape. Common for those who are [[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil rapists themselves]], especially [[PaedoHunt child molesters]], as a sort of {{Irony}}.

* ''Literature/TailsOfTheBountyHunter'' has a scene in the final chapter where [[spoiler:Gobor Grizzer gets raped in the showers while he's in prison]]. That being said, [[spoiler:Gobor]] himself is a SerialRapist who sexually assaulted over a dozen football players in high school, and later grew up to rape civilians indiscriminately on top of being a terrorist who is responsible for killing thousands. It's very difficult to say [[KickTheSonOfABitch he didn't have this coming]].

* In the [[{{Hentai}} H-manga]] ''Bullied Hypno Revenge'', a [[AlphaBitch trio of of girls]] are the most feared students in school due to their ability to put down anyone, and their wanton use of {{Blackmail}} to keep everyone subservient. Their leader is a SpoiledBrat who has been manipulating everyone around her, including teachers for years, [[ForTheEvulz just for the sake of her amusement]]. However, their latest victim manages to trick them into getting hypnotized, and turns them into [[SexSlave his personal harem]], though when the hypnosis briefly wears off, he tells them that [[PayEvilUntoEvil their reign of terror has come to an end]], and once their free will is completely eliminated, he happily becomes their [[FatBastard demented overlord]].

* In ''LightNovel/TheRisingOfTheShieldHero'', [[HateSink Princess Malty]], who [[FalseRapeAccusation falsely accused the hero Naofumi of rape]] (among other things), ends up herself raped to death by [[TheBluebeard the King of Faubley]], [[SnuffFilm who records the whole thing]] before getting [[BurnTheWitch burned at the stake]].

A SubTrope of SexualKarma and LaserGuidedKarma. Often implied if the villain is [[PrisonRape imprisoned]]. Commonly PlayedForLaughs a la BlackComedyRape, but can be portrayed [[RapeAsDrama seriously]]. When played for laughs, often overlaps with DisproportionateRetribution. [[DoubleStandardRapeFemaleOnMale Most victims]] are [[DoubleStandardRapeMaleOnMale male]], but the odd RareFemaleExample pops up from time to time. Can overlap with RapePortrayedAsRedemption if this starts the villain on the long hard road to a HeelFaceTurn. May also overlap with DeathBySex and RedemptionEqualsDeath. See also UsefulNotes/VictimBlaming. Almost by definition comes with a heaping helping of UnfortunateImplications and KarmicOverkill. It may also overlap with PrisonRape, or an IronicHell. Compare and Contrast with RapeAndRevenge as it can turn into this trope if the original rape victim, later on, [[HowTheMightyHaveFallen ends up]] raping their rapist.

* In the ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague'' episode "Injustice for All" which features the Injustice Gang, Cheetah appears for the first time and meets Solomon Grundy who clearly shows an unwelcomed attraction to her which she rejects violently. At the end of the two-part episode she's left alone trapped with a smiling Grundy, nothing is shown obviously but the implications are clear.[[/folder]]

* ''LightNovel/RedoOfHealer'': This is Keyaru's go-to method for enacting revenge on his abusers. Most notable examples would be Princess Flare (who also received ColdBloodedTorture and HeelFaceBrainwashing) and Captain Renard (who is transformed into a woman and left with his drugged-up soldiers).

* In ''LightNovel/TheRisingOfTheShieldHero'', [[HateSink Princess Malty]], who [[FalseRapeAccusation falsely accused the hero Naofumi of rape]] (among other things), ends up herself raped to death by [[TheBluebeard the King of Faubley]], [[SnuffFilm who records the whole thing]] before she's done in by getting [[BurnTheWitch burned at the stake]].

* In ''LightNovel/TheRisingOfTheShieldHero'', [[HateSink Princess Malty]], who [[FalseRapeAccusation falsely accused the hero Naofumi of rape]] (among other things), ends up herself raped to death by [[TheBluebeard the King of Faubley]], who records the whole thing before getting [[BurnTheWitch burned at the stake]].

%%* Some commentators inferred that Umbridge was raped by centaurs at the end of ''Literature/HarryPotterAndTheOrderOfThePhoenix'', and indeed, there's not many other possible explanations.

* ''Literature/HarryPotterAndTheOrderOfThePhoenix'' heavily implies that, when Dolores Umbridge is carried off by the centaurs as retribution for calling them "filthy half-breeds", she is gang raped by them (centaurs in mythology were notorious for that). When she's rescued by Dumbledore, she's catatonic and panics whenever she hears the sounds of hoofs.

* In Film/KinjiteForbiddenSubjects, Charles Bronson's character decides to let the villain (who rapes and pimps out teenage girls) live, because that is real "justice...''poetic'' justice." [[PrisonRape The catcalls from the prison block and the "new mama" speech from his new cellie]] leave no doubt as to what that means.

Of course, [[ValuesDissonance many people would argue]] that no one, no matter how evil, deserves rape. Pretty much every civilized nation in the world has laws meant to protect both free citizens and criminals from rape, and international law considers it a crime against humanity to allow or commit rape as part of a punishment for a crime, and there are countless human-rights organizations that work to eliminate rape against prisoners. This trope is when rape is treated ''by the narrative and/or the characters'' as a just punishment for the villain's crimes. Since RealLife, as far as we know, lacks a narrative to pass judgment, '''Administrivia/NoRealLifeExamplesPlease'''

* In ''LightNovel/TheRisingOfTheShieldHero'', [[HateSink Princess Malty]], who [[FalseRapeAccusation falsely accused the hero Naofumi of rape]] (among other things), ends up herself raped to death by [[TheBluebeard the King of Faubley]], who records the whole thing. Subverted, though, in that even Naofumi himself, who despises Malty for what she did to him, is so disgusted by this that he cannot bring himself to watch, and the King is treated as a vile monster who gets killed off not long afterward.

[[folder: Mythology and Religion]]

* In ''Literature/TheGirlWithTheDragonTattoo'', [[AntiHero anti-heroine]] Lisbeth Salander gets revenge on her abusive social worker by secretly filming him raping her and then [[AssShove anally raping him with a dildo]], tattooing the words "I'm a pig and a rapist" on his torso, and threatening to show the tape recording of his abuses on her if he doesn't comply with her demands.

* In another, earlier incident involving Lot and his daughters, after their DoomedHometown is destroyed and they take shelter in a cave, [[ButLiquorIsQuicker Lot is raped]] [[ParentalIncest by his daughters]], and [[IncestIsRelative has a son/grandson]] [[ChildByRape by each of them]]. Some interpret this as divine punishment for offering the girls to be raped. The reason given in the narrative, however, is that the girls (erroneously) believed themselves and their father to be the last people on Earth alive AfterTheEnd, their fiances had been killed, and they felt [[MandatoryMotherhood compelled to have children for future security]]. In other words, they viewed sex with their father as NecessarilyEvil, but knew that he'd never go for it sober.

* An [[http://www.cracked.com/article_19397_the-5-most-depraved-sex-scenes-implied-by-harry-potter.html article]] on Website/{{Cracked}} mentions an infamous ''Franchise/HarryPotter'' fan theory that [[SadistTeacher Dolores Umbridge]]--a thoroughly terrible woman who, among other things, tortures children--got gang-raped by centaurs at the end of [[Literature/HarryPotterAndTheOrderOfThePhoenix the fifth book]]. In the text itself, said centaurs drag Umbridge deep into the Forbidden Forest. After Dumbledore rescues her, she shows little physical damage but remains temporarily catatonic from whatever she endured--until the students start making hoofbeat sounds, at which point Umbridge goes into a panic. As Cracked points out, this has led many fans to conclude exactly what you'd expect. It doesn't help that the original centaurs of Myth/ClassicalMythology are among the [[UrExample ur-examples]] of MarsNeedsWomen, and Creator/JKRowling likes to [[ShownTheirWork show her work]] regarding myths that she borrows from, even though [[OurCentaursAreDifferent the centaurs of the Potterverse are a far cry from their savage mythological counterparts]].

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Archer}}'' has the main character find out that his best friend raped him when he was drunk. Given that Archer is a womanizing deviant that even a self-diagnosed sex-addict is disgusted with, his reaction is played for laughs.

A SubTrope of SexualKarma and LaserGuidedKarma. Often implied if the villain is [[PrisonRape imprisoned]]. Commonly PlayedForLaughs a la BlackComedyRape, but can be portrayed [[RapeAsDrama seriously]]. When played for laughs, often overlaps with DisproportionateRetribution. [[DoubleStandardRapeFemaleOnMale Most victims]] are [[DoubleStandardRapeMaleOnMale male]], but the odd RareFemaleExample pops up from time to time.

* In ''LightNovel/TheRisingOfTheShieldHero'', [[BigBad Princess Malty]], who [[FalseRapeAccusation falsely accused the hero Naofumi of rape]] (among other things), ends up herself raped to death by [[TheBluebeard the King of Faubley]], who records the whole thing. Subverted, though, in that even Naofumi himself, who despises Malty for what she did to him, is so disgusted by this that he cannot bring himself to watch, and the King is treated as a vile monster who gets killed off not long afterward.

* ''Film/{{Holidays}}'': ''Halloween'' has Ian, a pimp who abuses the women he employs, gets a vibrators up the ass that then gets superglued in, with them shocking him using a car battery. Earlier he'd sought to rape one, and by his attitude was implied to have raped them all in the past. It's shown as part of their revenge.

** [[TheCasanova Mat's]] repeated rape at knife-point by Queen Tylin is generally PlayedForLaughs, and the other female characters see it as this trope until he, after much pleading for help, finally impresses the severity of the situation on them. Even after they help him, they (and the narrative) treat the situation [[DoubleStandardRapeFemaleOnMale much less seriously than they would if the genders had been reversed]]. WordOfGod is that the reader is ''not'' supposed to agree with the ladies' quip that he "[[NotIfTheyEnjoyedItRationalization had it coming]]" thanks to his ChivalrousPervert habits.
