Line 7:
The physical attacks won't go very far; all (or most) of the agony is inflicted mentally and emotionally, and it's chilling to see a villain be that cruel. The traumatized victim suffers all of the side-effects afterward (such as [[Rape Leads to Insanity]]). May include further sexual symbolism for good measure, such as severe and unfunny [[Clothing Damage]] and sinister [[Double Entendre]]s.
Comes in two variations: one is a [[Break Them by Talking|completely "mundane"]] but no less horrifying brand of [[Cold-Blooded Torture|torture]] that nonetheless [[Armor-Piercing Question|breaks a]] [[Two Plus Torture Makes Five|character's mind]]. The other is the above done via [[Mind Probe]], [[Psychic Powers]], [[Brown Note]], [[Psychological Torment Zone|illusions,]] or seeing something [[Man Was Not Meant to Know]]. All too frequently the consequence of encountering an [[Eldritch Abomination]]; even so much as ''looking'' at one of them might cause [[Go Mad
Just as [[Rape Is a Special Kind of Evil]], a character indulging in the '''Mind Rape''' of another character primarily for [[For the Evulz|their own pleasure or enjoyment]] is a good sign they are almost certainly a [[Complete Monster]] or have at least crossed the [[Moral Event Horizon]]. Doubly so if the sexual symbolism is present. A [[Well-Intentioned Extremist]], [[Anti-Villain]] or even the heroes may resort to Mind Rape [[I Did What I Had to Do|if circumstances force them to]], but only the lowest of the low will take a sick enjoyment out of it.
