This suggestion tanked in the Image Suggestion thread.

Since rape can be a rather touchy subject, anyone else in favor of adding it to the "no pic" list? That is, unless if someone can give a tasteful suggestion?

I'll also go with sticking this on the "no pic" list unless someone does.

+1 to "no pic" this unless someone's got a good suggestion.

The original poster for I Spit on Your Grave gets the message across, but it's horribly exploitative. I think the poster for Ms. 45 might work, though. The subject of rape is only implied, but other than that it works, and at least the image is tasteful. Can't imagine how both the rape and revenge parts of this trope could be illustrated clearly without the image being offensive.

4.1 is a good illustration, indeed, but is probably past the NSFW threshold.

Sticking with "no pic". I don't see how those posters portray the trope; I only see the revenge part.

No pic then. Showing both aspects at once is a difficult exercise to say the least.

You've got roaming bands of armed, aggressive, tyrannical plumbers coming to your door, saying "Use our service, or else!"

I'm gonna make a mod call on this one and put it on the "no pic" list. Tagging the page shortly; locking up.
