Child by Rape: Difference between revisions

In fiction, children conceived by rape are sometimes considered to be "tainted", especially in [[Horror]] movies where they usually grow up to be either deformed [[Bastard Bastard]] killers or straight up monsters.

 

 

{{examples}}

== Anime and Manga ==

* In the backstory of ''[[Ooku]]: the Inner Chambers'', we learn that Shogun Iemitsu idly raped a passing commoner girl one night to prove he could ''too'' lie with a woman. His actual preference for young males until his death by [[Gendercide|Red-Faced Pox]] a decade later left the resulting daughter as the only hope to maintain his bloodline, keep the house of Tokugawa in power, and more to the point avoid the warfare that would come with a [[Succession Crisis]] atop the plague. Iemitsu's [[El Cid Ploy|death was hidden]], and the daughter was imprisoned in Edo castle until she came of age and a male heir was sired upon her. Her attempt to escape led in turn to ''another'' example of this trope, as she was raped and gave birth to her own daughter, who died in infancy.

* In ''[[Sakura Gari]]'', there's {{spoiler|Masataka, the main character.}}

* Hinted to be the case of {{spoiler|Sana Kurata}} in the ''[[Kodomo no Omocha]]'' manga.

* [[Vampire Hunter D]] is the result of a cruel game Dracula played with a mortal woman: he would rape her, impregnate her, and kill the resulting child, promising she could keep the next one. After multiple cycles of this, Dracula kept that promise, and D was born.

* In [[Fullmetal Alchemist (anime)|the 2003 anime version]] of ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist (manga)|Fullmetal Alchemist]]'', {{spoiler|Ed and Al's friend Rosé is raped by military officers, becomes pregnant, and has a baby. And then Dante got to her...}}

 

 

* Raven from ''[[Teen Titans (Comic Book)|Teen Titans]]'' was conceived when the demon Trigon [[Bed Trick|tricked her mother into having sex with him in human form]], thus is a child of rape by fraud.

* Wallflower from the ''[[New Mutants]]'' was conceived when her father used his pheromone powers (which Laurie would inherit) to seduce her mother.

* The title character of ''[[Nikolai Dante]]'' was conceived when Katarina was raped by Dmitri Romanov, and she almost killed him soon after birth. This rape is about the only thing that ever managed to really harm Katarina.

 

* Bai Mao, main character in ''The Warrior Of Love'', is a rape child.

* Also happens in another ''[[Percy Jackson and The Olympians]]'' fanfiction called ''[http://percyjacksonfanfiction.wikia.com/wiki/Happy_Endings_Only_Happen_In_Fairytales Happy Endings Only Happen In Fairytales]''.

* The ''[[Pony POV Series]]'' has an interesting spin on this. [[Sixth Ranger|Fluttercruel]], a seperate entity now [[Sharing a Body|sharing Fluttershy's body]], was born from Discord's [[Mind Rape]] of Fluttershy. While it wasn't physical rape, Discord's [[Mind Rape]] is treated with a somewhat sexual context in the story, Fluttercruel comes off as this. Though she doesn't seem to have any problem with it, nor does Fluttershy, who considers Fluttercruel her daughter.

** A more villainous example is {{spoiler|Darius Parker, whose mother (Fin's ex wife) was [[Parental Incest|raped by her father]].}} While {{spoiler|he}} may not have known at the time, the fact that this is the reason {{spoiler|[[The Unfavorite|why his mother hated him so much that it's implied that she threatened him]]}} [[Freudian Excuse|could explain]] [[Sympathetic Murderer|what]] {{spoiler|[[Fate Worse Than Death|he]]}} [[Offing the Offspring|became]].

** Also, a good few cases deal with children by rape.

* In ''[[Neighbours]]'', Declan Napier and Julie Robinson-Martin were both the result of rape. Izzy invoked this when she told Karl that the child he'd believed was his was really Gus's. He found out she was lying less than a day later.

* One episode of ''[[Maury]]'' featured a woman who was convinced that her son was the product of a rape, since she'd been raped by a friend around the same time she'd had sex with her husband. As such she [[Parental Neglect|neglected the child]] in favor of her other children, and her husband, who was disturbed by how she was acting and decided [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming|he'd love his son even if he wasn't the biological father]], dragged her in to get a [[Daddy DNA Test|DNA test]] to settle the matter once and for all. {{spoiler|It turns out the boy was her husband's son}}.

 

== Mythology ==

* Pegasus. He was Medusa's son-by-rape by Poseidon, and formed from her blood when she was slain by Perseus. [[Classical Mythology]] is like that.

* Would you believe that in classical mythology, good [[King Arthur]] was the product of a rape? [[Bed Trick|His father Uther Pendragon had a spell cast on him that made Ingraine think he was her husband]] (see the Literature section for more). Later on, his own half-sister Morgana would play the same trick on him, making their son Mordred a product of rape and incest as well as a [[Magnificent Bastard|bastard]] [[Bastard Bastard|in more ways than one.]]

 

== Tabletop Games ==

** Some half-elves get born this way as well, particularly in settings where humans and elves have gone to war against each other or are otherwise on hostile terms.

* The [[Warcraft Expanded Universe]] implies that some half-orcs in this universe were conceived this way as well, and that the rapist could be of either gender/race.

 

== Video Games ==

 

 

* In ''[[Mob Ties]]'', {{spoiler|Mika conceived while in a coma after being raped by [[Big Bad]] Bengal. Her father tries to keep it a secret due to the fact that any reminder of the incident sends her into a horrible shock.}}

* Becca McKay in ''[[Shadowgirls]]'' appears to believe that she was the product of a rape committed during her mother's amnesia, since her father has never come forward.

* In the [[Ciem Webcomic Series]], Candi's family history is ''filled'' with instances of this. Honeybee Samuel was a consummate rapist, and every descendant of his down to Dwayne Lloyd followed suit. Shalia is the result of Dwayne raping Marissa.

** Ploribus/Darius is the result of Stan being half-cloned ''as a baby'' and the half-clone being inserted into one of Insila's eggs. The Phaelites have ethics debates for a reason.
