Because everyone responds to rape the same way. I'm not saying author was right, but, uh, neither are you.

One of my friends spent months thinking something was wrong with her because she wasn't horribly traumatized after being raped. People kept telling her she was just in shock and that it would set in eventually, but guess what? It never did. She was upset, sure, and she still won't drink at parties, but she wasn't irreversibly emotionally scarred by it and that's okay. That's just how she responded to it.

+1. Horribly upsetting yes, still carrying emotional baggage yes, but traumatic? Thankfully no.

And--potential TMI alert--people do react in different ways. The very first thing I wanted afterwards, before I even managed to wrench my brain into gear enough to put words to what had happened, was to be touched by someone who wouldn't hurt me. Just, like. Reality check that intimate touch that does not leave six weeks' worth of bruising is indeed a thing that exists in the world. If someone I trusted had offered to soap my back and politely ignore my gross sobbing while I washed the uckiness off, hell yeah I would've taken them up on it.

(I love non-con fic. Even when it's crappy formulaic h/c, I love that fandom feels the need to tell stories about this thing that looms so large in our collective consciousness. And when it's well done and the characters' reactions are affected both by the circumstances--being attacked by a stranger, pressured and coerced by an acquaintance, betrayed by a friend, or tortured by someone who hates you are all gonna leave different sets of issues behind--and by what we know about the characters as people, then I can chow down on it like some sort of masochistic comfort food.)

My point was that it was painfully obvious that the author had never been raped and had no idea what she was talking about whatsoever. As apparently, you don't.
