Same here. It most illustrates just what this trope's about, to be honest.

Switching to Victim Falls For Rapist sounds fine to me. It was the name I liked more to begin with, though I didn't really see the problem that Rape Stockholm Syndrome had.

The source code was added along with a redirect. So I get redirected to the main name when I tried to proceed with move, I hate when that happens.

There was a holler asking for a discussion to be moved. Is the discussion to be moved from Rape Stockholm Syndrome to Victim Falls For Rapist?

We still have 7 tropes to work through:

In addition, renames and rewrites for these three still need to be decided on:

Sex Slave should be locked for good measure.

The rest look clean.

The three in the backlog...for Its Not Rape If You Enjoyed It how about Oft Used Rapist Excuse or Common Rapist Excuse/Justification?

[up]That sounds like misleading. I say again Happy Rape Victim Excuse with a "Happy" Rape Victim Excuse custom title.

Sex Slave is now locked so it stays clean.

[up] Yeah. Plus the Common Rapist Excuse thing covers a bit more ground than being a rename for the other trope.

We could base the trope name around the idea of Pleasure Based Rape Denial or something.

Are Rape Stockholm Syndrome and Victim Falls For Rapist supposed to be exact copies? I could've sworn you guys had agreed to redirect the former to the latter.

What about renaming this index in general? I mean Rape Tropes is a bit extreme when a lot of them cover just Sexual Harassment + a chance at rape.

What about renaming it to Sexual Harassment Tropes?

[up][up] The latter is the name, but we're keeping Rape Stockholm Syndrome at the moment because this way, reaching the related list for it is much easier than when it's a redirect.

Sexual Misconduct Tropes? I know that's how the law in here in the States describe as any misconduct of sexual nature. I dunno about using it though..

[up][up][up]Most arnt crimes in fiction till the cops are called. (and some are not crimes at all.)

About half the examples on Double Standard: Rape, Female on Female are not even rape they are more sexual harassment and/or Skinship distancing ourselves from Rape in titles unless we don't have a choice is a good thing. (or splitting them altogether like Haruhi Skinship and such might just get a little snark but they draw the line in universe at something that could be considered rape..)

[up][up] That could work.

Karmic Rape shouldn't even be considered. It's worse than what we have now and I only brought it up to illustrate my difficulty in thinking of a name that wasn't awful like it is.

Rape Face Turn might work.

I could also support renaming the index to Sexual Misconduct Tropes.

I don't know, Rape Face Turn still seems kinda condone-y and full of Unfortunate Implications. ("Want to give someone a Heel–Face Turn? Rape 'em!") But then, part of it is the trope itself...

Sexual Misconduct Tropes looks good to me. Should we go ahead?
