Rape is one of the more difficult subjects to handle in a work of fiction, not least because (unlike, say, a gruesome and violent murder) there is a higher chance that one of the work's readers has experienced this crime first-hand. For the most part, the tropes that have been collected here describe less sensitive and sometimes
downright backwards depictions of rape.
For obvious reasons, many of these tropes are considered crossing the
Moral Event Horizon.
