Re: Ever have that moment where (TW: Rape/incest fic)

I suppose but...I don't know

This subject is something that should be handled more carefully and with more thought. I guess what really bugs me is the idea of making a teenager character rape his sibling because "he seems kinda mean in the show" and because you want the sibling to be more of a victim and go through something awful just to be comforted. Just being used as a plot device.

It seems like melodrama using rape as a prop. and it's the kind thing I'd advise someone not to throw in as a plot device. Also it seems kinda offensive to use sibling rape to get two characters to hook up.
Also the whole idea doesn't fit IMO because in the show we see that despite his jealousy Ken loved his brother and grieved a lot for his death. The death of that sibling effected the whole family. In the show the sibling's memory is respected. If Osamu were really abusive, I think well the aftereffects would have been a lot different. So it just honestly doesn't fit.

I've seen a good fic including rape (ironically also in the same fandom) where the rapist character was an OC a creepy older teacher and it actually fit them rather than twisting an existing character. I dunno it just worked better , the fanfic dealt with the aftereffects and the person obviously did their research and worked out a lot of it.
It didn't feel like ..well melodrama.

"Rape" isn't like other things "used to get two characters to hook up" , it requires careful portrayal , and respect toward the victims. There's a responsibility to portray things with respect to the severity of it. Incest rape even more so. That's the issue.

Of course it should be handled carefully, but most of the time it isn't. That's all I was saying. I didn't mean to imply that I thought rape was a fine and dandy way to get two characters to hook up -- but it is commonly used like that (and not just in fanfiction), which is what I was referring to.

It's just an old, old issue and it's akin to tilting at windmills, y'know?

Mneh I suppose.

I was just shocked to see it in this context.

I liked rape angst totally unrealistic fics when I was a teen and I'm ok with it. I'd say it provided a sense of closure? I didn't project plot on RL or analysed it. So, some people just like it sometimes.
