Rape Discretion Shot: Difference between revisions

Line 25:

* In the final episode of ''[[Berserk]]'', [[spoiler: Griffith, now Femto,]] rapes {{spoiler|Casca}} but we only see him lowering his winged cape over her lower body so we can't actually see the physical portion going on, though we can still see {{spoiler|Casca}} writhing in agony as this is happening to her. It might not seem like much, but the anime depiction was [[Lighter and Softer|FAR MORE DOCILE]] than the manga.

* Queen Taramis' rape by Constantius in the [[Conan]] story "A Witch Shall Be Born."

* Used when The Incredible Hulk is raped by [[Future Me Scares Me|his evil future self's]] harem in the [[Future Imperfect]] miniseries.

Line 31:

** When Jack Knight is drugged into unconsciousness and raped by Nash, the second Mist, the scene occurs from his point-of-view as a very strange erotic dream. Additionally, while the implication is there in the initial scene, it isn't until many issues later that the series confirms the fact that a rape occurred with a [[Wham! Line]].

** Oddly, the trope is averted when the rape of Mikaal Thomas is shown in a flashback.

* Surprisingly, despite its tremendous profanity, explicit portrayals of sex, and outright gore elsewhere, [[Preacher (Comic Book)]] keeps Herr Starr's rape by "sexual investigator" entirely off-panel. As with some other examples, this is because the scene runs on [[Rape Is Funny If ~~Its~~ Male On Male]]. Indeed, all the male-on-male rape in the series is both played for laughs and kept offscreen; the instance we do see is male-on-female, and is played as [[Rape Is a Special Kind of Evil]].

* [[Batman]] in a retroactive manner. the Son of the Demon graphic novel depicted Talia and Bruce in a consensual relationship. For almost two decades it wasn't considered canon until 2006 when Batman & Son was a story in the main Batman books. Over the course of two panels we learn that everything in the book was basically Talia's warped fantasy and that she'd had him drugged the whole time. So it's a bit of a retroactive discretion shot. The fact that Bruce was raped as a consequence of this has never been dealt with.
