->By its very nature, rape displays a \\\"[[CompleteMonster total contempt for the personal integrity and autonomy]]\\\" of the victim; \\\'short of homicide, [it is] the \\\"[[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil ultimate violation of self]].\\\'\\\"\\\\\\\\

Because the quote explicitly excludes death (that is, homicide) as the only thing that\\\'s more of a violation of self than rape. Ergo, it is (according to a quote) not a FateWorseThanDeath, but rather a Fate Exceeded In Badness Only by Death. I\\\'m not trying to start a big discussion over the afterlife\\\'s quality of existence or if it exists at all and the aftereffects of rape, just trying to keep the theme of the reproduced quote in line with the quote itself.

If anyone objects to recursion in Index description {{Pot Hole}}s, that\\\'s part of why this is on this page. I just thought that [[RapeisASpecialkindOfEvil that trope]] was more appropriate. Not perfect, but better than anything else, though I\\\'m not going to bother arguing whether or not it is better than no PotHole at all.
