1->''Do you know how much better Film/TheRunningMan would be if they added a rape scene to the movie? Oh, that's right, '''it wouldn't'''! [...] Perhaps the thing I most take offence at is how the female prisoners are basically rape magnets for the guys, which comes across as a cheap device for the film-makers to tell us [[{{Anvilicious}} "this is wrong"]]. This whole sequence is completely out of place, and it marks the point where the movie crosses [[MoralEventHorizon the line of no return]].''

4->''You didn't think about the ''weight'' of including a rape scene! You just used it as a cheap shock tactic and that's ''deplorable!''

13->Rape, in the [[DarkFic more unsettling regions]], will be going on all around you. It abounds in Lucius Malfoy's Dark Revels and seems to be one of the best ways for your tour guides to establish a [[Literature/HarryPotter Potterian]]'s [[KickTheDog evil credentials]]. Severus Snape will refer to it aggressively when he is trying to prove to his lovingly forgiving female friend how horrible he is. But this type can be considered a sort of background noise or theme music to the main action of the plot. It sets an appropriately horrifying mood for dealing with death eaters and other such villains.

16->''What'd we miss? Oh yeah. [[RapeAsBackstory Karen was raped by her uncle as a little girl]]. What does that add to the story? Absolutely nothing. [[SarcasmMode I'm SO glad we did that]]. [...] You know when unnecessary rape has ever made a story better? NEVER!!''
