(Anonymous) 2011-06-04 06:39 am (UTC)(link)That makes sense. I don't think I considered it from that angle because, well, I never really considered anti-rape sentiment in fandom to be an expression of judgment against the victim. When a character is revealed to be a rapist, fandom will read him not only as violent and loathsome, but also as, consciously or subconsciously, a misogynist bigot (owing, again, to the gendered nature of the act). Expressions of bigotry and *ism have a very special knack for raising fandom's collective hackles, even from villains - let alone supposedly sympathetic characters.
I guess the thing about rape specifically is that it does have that kind of fallout for all parties involved, though. We could all do to be more cautious in the way we express these things.
