Post-Rape Taunt

For a villain, there are many ways to get to the hero, to really make him hurt. One popular way is through his loved ones, and one of the most effective methods is to [[I Have You Now, My Pretty violate his love interest]] and then gloat about it to him. They might kill her after, if they want to be especially cruel.

Compare/contrast with ~It's Not Rape If You Enjoyed It~, where the victim does like it, whereas this is just the villain [[Kick the Dog lying for the sake of being a total prick]]. One variation has the villain not directly engaging in the act himself, but instead orders his lieutenant(s) to carry out the deed, with the same obvious end-result. Not always, but usually done with [[Always Male male villain]]/male hero/female victim. Frequently provokes Unstoppable Rage and/or Extreme Melee Revenge.

Related to Evil Gloating and Would You Like to Hear How They Died. Usually a very good way to push the Relative Button.
