You suddenly realize that rape is a plotpoint in EVER-Y-THING :/

[(Anonymous)]

urghhhhhh rape as a plot point or backstory is just the worst literary device ever

i think, as a general rule, authors should just stay the fuck away from the topic unless they can write it believably and with a full understanding of the effect experiences like that have on people.

(like everything else in fiction, tbh, authors need to do their damn research.)

it reminds me a bit of how some authors will use outdated ideas of how mental disorders work, and add them to their characters like a pair of fancy shoes or dyed hair or something. "look how quirky she is!"

it's tacky and awful and it needs to stop.

Agreed

This is one thing that's unmitigatedly awesome about Hannibal, for any other faults it might have - there's no rape, ever. And Bryan Fuller, the showrunner, has said in multiple interviews that there never will be, because it's a cheap storytelling device that usually only serves to exploit women. They completely retooled a book character's backstory to remove her rape.

Anyway, the fact that this is a novel and noteworthy position says something pretty dire about contemporary entertainment.

So basically that's reason No. 1223567543566 that I need to watch that show lol
