This is the kind of double standard I can't stand. It's okay to have all kinds of gruesome horror, but no, we can't possibly talk about rape, despite the fact that rape IS a pretty damn gruesome horror!

Shoving rape and sexual assault under the rug in fiction and making it some sort of untouchable subject is just as bad as overusing it for drama. That just contributes to making survivors feel like they can't talk about it rather than helping anyone.

Keep in mind, though, that the difference between gruesome horror that the SCPs portray and rape is that rape actually happens. Pretty frequently too in some societies. So it requires a level of tact and care that not a lot of people want to touch because how do you portray rape in a way that respects the actual victims, especially when it's not unlikely that there could be some reading the archives? SCPs don't come with trigger warnings, after all, and not every SCP writer has those experiences.

That's why it's generally discouraged in media too. Because more likely than not, if you never had the experience of being raped or assaulted, you run at a risk of portraying it in a way that will rub the actual victims the wrong way -- or worse, triggering them badly.
