{{quote|''Take a good look at your story. Why do you think a rape is what you need for it to progress? Is there something else that could fill the same function? Unless you have a damn good reason to include rape in a story, you probably shouldn't.''
|'''Rachael Edidin''', [http://www.girl-wonder.org/insideout/ Inside Out]}}
Gratuitous Rape is [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin]] - a pointless rape scene usually happening [[Non Sequitur Scene|for little to no reason]]. Did the [[Big Bad]] defeat [[The Hero]]? Rape. Did a whole bunch of [[Mooks]] gang up on [[The Hero]] at once? Rape. Does the angsty [[The Lancer|Lancer]] have childhood issues? [[Rape as Backstory|It was because he was raped.]] Is [[The Hero]] going up against a foe that has [[Mind Manipulation]] powers?
Line 28 ⟶ 29:
* ''[[Sanctuary (manga)|Sanctuary]]'' tries to play with Tokai habit of raping random women as [[Fan Service]] or [[Black Comedy Rape]], but its always so pointless that makes you dislike the character even if you liked him before.
==
* Sleez forcing a mind-controlled Big Barda to star in porn movies in ''[[Action Comics]]'' #593. He almost did it to Superman, too. (How creepy was Sleeze and this story? Sleeze was kicked out of [[Polluted Wasteland|Apokalips]] by [[God of Evil|Darkseid]] [[Even Evil Has Standards|for being too creepy]].)
** When it was featured on ''[[Atop the Fourth Wall]]'', Linkara cited the page quote.
* Infamously, ''[[Identity Crisis]]'' created the [[Retcon]] of Dr. Light raping Sue Dibny in The Watchtower, and worse, we only found out about it ''after'' Sue had been murdered and its only purpose was to motivate the heroes into crossing into [[Moral Dissonance|very questionable territory]]. And worse, the entire rape plot turns out to be {{spoiler|a [[Red Herring]] when it comes to the central murder mystery.}}
==
* The infamous ''[[Power Rangers]]'' fanfic ''[[Agony in Pink]]'' mainly focused on [[Gorn]], but this eventually happened, too.
* In the [[Old Shame|old version]] of ''A Sorceror, a Demon, and Emeralds'', a corrupted [[Sonic the Hedgehog]] rapes anything that's not nailed down. Including [[Squick|Robotnik.]]
