Supernatural Question (rape)

(Anonymous) 2013-07-22 11:10 pm (UTC)(link)So, you can draw your own conclusions here. You could argue that it's just a hallucination and is therefore just meant to screw with Sam's head or you can argue that even though it's a Hallucination, Sam is drawing from his actual memories of Lucifer in hell and this is a way of admitting to himself some of the horrors he endured. Take it whatever way you want. A lot of the fandom did react to the above quotes, but I am surprised that it wasn't a much bigger deal within the fandom. I would have thought more people would have jumped on it.

(Anonymous) 2013-07-22 11:34 pm (UTC)(link)Well, another anon does have a point that lucifer and sam shared a soul in hell. Still, I've seen people make the argument that it's possible that souls and bodies could become separate in the cage and that since the cage was lucifer's domain, anything is possible. Or that lucifer could have commanded Sam's rape by someone else. Honestly, I have no idea and I don't actually remember much about the show during this period so I can't argue for it either way.

(Anonymous) 2013-07-22 11:13 pm (UTC)(link)After Sam's soul was gotten out of Lucifer's cage in Hell, Sam had a breakdown and was hallucinating Lucifer all over the place. In one of those instances, Lucifer made a reference to spooning, which fans took to mean sex, and therefore rape.
That's not taking into consideration, however, that Sam and Lucifer's souls were sharing one body while in hell. So spooing would A) likely mean "two souls jammed up against each other in a confined space", and B) be physically impossible while inside the same body.

(Anonymous) 2013-07-22 11:37 pm (UTC)(link)I don't take the "wittier rape" line as evidence that a rape (in the strictest sense of the word) occurred, because it followed "rapier wit" and is more likely just a play on words intended to make Sam uncomfortable. The same goes for "you're my bitch". Spending a year in hell at the mercy of two pissed off angels who could do wildly imaginative things to and with Sam's soul... he was Lucifer's bitch.
Now, if you want to go and say that Lucifer's unwelcome intrusion in Sam's mind was rape, you could have an argument there... but most fans seem to be of the opinion that literal physical unwanted sexual contact was going on in the cage, and it's extremely unlikely.

Between Sam and Lucifer, that is, who were sharing a body. It's possible that Michael could have raped Sam via Adam's body, but that's a whole nother can of worms that was never raised in the show.

(Anonymous) 2013-07-22 11:46 pm (UTC)(link)You know, I had completely forgotten that Sam's body was pulled out so early on. That makes it all the more unlikely that rape-as-fandom-is-imagining-it was ever an issue. Alllll kinds of emotional and spiritual trauma, mind rape if you will, oh yes definitely, but I have yet to see anyone argue that "Lucifer fucked with Sam's mind"... I would've preferred that argument.

Re: Supernatural Question (rape)
(Anonymous) 2013-07-22 11:59 pm (UTC)(link)If you take Hallucifer as an unreliable source, than yeah, there's no evidence other than that. Sam has been extremely unforthcoming and is not likely to become more so.

So it's entirely possible that Sam could have perceived and remembered any abuses that Lucifer dished out as though they were physically taking place, even if in objective reality it was all occurring on a mental or spiritual level.
