I am so sick and tired of rape being the ultimate evil in fanfiction when there were worse things that were done. Yes, rape is bad but genocide is even worse. Why is the genocider acting as though the rapist is more evil. I'd get it if it was someone they really cared about but to act though the rapist is more evil when they themself committed genocide over someone they just met, this is just ridiculous.
Most ridiculous usage of this would be that one time I read a fanfiction about how the wife of an evil demon lord with 600+ wives wants to finally rebel against her husband . . . for attempted rape on someone she doesn't even know. For context, canon is a parody of R-18 edgy dark male power fantasy so just think of your typical R-18 dark edgy male power fantasy protagonist and up it to eleven, I am not exaggerating about the 600+ wives. I know the author was going for a girlboss story about how an obedient wife strikes back and regains her independence with a side of lesbian romance but her motivation is weak as hell. Girl, you let your husband destroy your home, kill your teachers, friends and other innocent humans and the only ones who were spared were the women who agreed to become his wives. Fucking mass murder wasn't enough to make you rebel but attempted rape was? Did you think that when your husband ordered his demonic troops to plunder that small innocent village, he told them this " now you can kill everyone there including the children and animals, you can torture them for fun, you can steal their treasures but you can't rape them. I can excuse murder and torture but rape's just going too far." And why is the demon lady who canonically tried to kill kids for funsies also helping you because of the attempted rape of someone she never knew. "I can excuse child murder but rape's just too evil". The most hilarious part of this is that the demon husband is canonically a rapist.
