AHMETxRock wrote:Well I want to write a good piece involving the female protagonist getting raped. I mean, half the female super heroes have been raped to contextualize why they fight. They're all victimized. This one villian could travel through time. There's a female overpowered hero who says she's immune to his time manipulation. He basically says he traveled back in time, raped her as a child, and her shock at the event is used an an opening for him to murder her. WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT?

Rape is a touchy topic, and I deliberately said it in an offensive way to obscure the possible direction I'd take it. When I say "for her own good" it was the male lead's justification, and we seem to have confused that for my own beliefs. I am attempting to make a writing that subverts the trope. Anyways, for the longer story I've considered a similar dynamic but since I like both characters I'm not going to make it rape. It was a what if scenario. I want to see if I can make it more than just "I was raped, so I'll be strong and independent and kick ass and be a dude with tits" kinda thing.

Really, give me anything and I'll make a story out of it. Give me like, 5 different random things to write about and i'll make a decent story out of it. I'll take my rape fanfiction to some place it would be appreciated, like at a feminist convention or something.
