>>94750246Thanks anon. I will freely admit I find non-con pleasing to my libido and like roleplay, so it probably makes me biased against seeing it as played out. That said it is far more flexable, than some authors use it.
>I feel like trauma can be just the blanket idea of 'damage', when in actuality abuse takes on different forms and has different effects, depending on the individual and the form of their abuse.Sure. I agree, but look at how the different types of abuse, sexual, have been used across comics.
We have
>>94748444 where it's a surprisinly effective usage with an unusual (in fiction) set up.
>>94749999 We have Bueno, a dark, walking, tongue in cheek molester joke.We have Huntress who was raped as a kid, and combined with her crime family and the rest of her origin, became a lethal vigilante with a liking for impaling men with small phallic projectiles from a distance.
We have Kate Kane, who I believe was raped while capture in the military (I'm only just getting into Batwoman), and may (I don't know her orientation pre-capture) have become a lesbian due to it, but tries to fight like Batman, and stays none lethal. I believe she was also raped (via mind control) by her vampire girlfriend, which is kind of clever as allegedly there is a lot of abuse in gay relationships and it could easily be a play on that.
We have Jessica Jones (two different editions in comic and MCU) who it made actually up trying to be a hero, become an alcohollic, and generally runs from her innate desire to be a hero and use her powers.
I think Ivy was raped, wasn't she, by the scientist who made the formula that created her?
Harley is the poster example of the beaten wife, if not a rape one.
We've also got a few in this thread. All end up being largely different characters, and very few are rape-and-revenge movie characters. It's just part if their lives and plays into their origins and lives.
