Here's the problem, though, and this is what's important:

THE "RAPE IS A SPECIAL KIND OF EVIL" TROPE PERPETUATES RAPE CULTURE

Because when people want to excuse rape, they don't (ever) say "rape is okay." They say "Well, that wasn't really rape."

Because Rape Is A Special Kind Of Evil, and rapists are all evil, unrepentant monsters. We've been told this a million times.

Therefore, if someone you know and like is accused of rape, then it must not be true. It must not have really been rape, because this person isn't an evil unrepentant monster. And that's where the excuses come in.

When we require monsterhood for rape, we guarantee that people will not see rape.

I have never thought about it this way and this is a really interesting take.
