I wonder if anyone ever stops watching mainstream television because of a heterosexual rape in their immediate family.

Obviously, I feel terrible about what happened to your brother, and about the second-hand impact it has on you. However, as a lesbian, I just can't help but notice your link isn't "my brother was raped so I can't stand to read non-con right now," but rather "my brother was gay!raped so I can't stand to read about gay relationships right now."

Someone in my immediate family - he's straight - was sexually assaulted by a man once, and he told me that's why he finds it disgusting when I kiss my girlfriend, like that's a good reason and I should understand. But no one ever makes that reasoning about straight people, because no one ever (subconsciously or not) thinks of a straight person as an inherent representative for the entire straight community or for all heterosexual relationships.

This secret, the choice you made to link the rape explicitly to "gayness", comes across as very homophobic to me.

(And for the record, before anyone - especially anyone straight - jumps on this, yes, I have experienced rape first-hand. It was a heterosexual rape, and I can't watch rape scenes on TV without being triggered, but it would never occur to me to stop reading your average straight romance story, or to avoid straight fiction. Maybe because I'm not in the privileged position where you can conceivably do that in the first place, but whatever.)

+1.

Even if I wanted to avoid hetero stuff after having been raped by a man, there's no way I could. It's everywhere. Even if there's no explicit love scene, pretty much every movie or TV show has a romantic plot or subplot. Hell, I couldn't even watch the freaking commercials!

I think part of the problem is the OP's brother was raped by his boyfriend . It wasn't a stranger or even a friend, it was someone that you share very intimate things with and probably trust. Therefore, OP sees relationships like what her brother had, and her minds goes to how that ended.

(Anonymous) 2010-02-08 04:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Again, this doesn't happen when straight people are raped within the relationship. The OP chooses to focus on the gay part of the relationship - I don't see hir saying, "I just can't stand to read about relationships anymore." Sie is saying, "I just can't stand to read about gay relationships anymore."
