Category talk:Rape

rape in fiction
I need some advice, because I feel like there needs to be a category for this.

In a perfectly normal fiction story, a normal and decent human being may suddenly come under an influence (drugs, aliens, whatever - even just opportunity) and rapes someone. The book continues, often acting like the rape was a minor event in the overall story. I am not a "triggered" person but I sure would like to be warned before this suddenly pops up in a book - the same as a website warning me if it depicts real-life pictures of beheadings or dead victims of an airplane crash.

In a minor vein, the website "Does the Dog Die?" (https://www.doesthedogdie.com/) warns people if an animal will die in a movie.

Would it be ludicrous to create a "Rape in fiction" or "Fictionalized rape" or something? I realize existing categories address many well-known rape categories such as mythological, or about people who fantasize about rape.

I guess I'm really looking for a warning tag, and a category may not be the way to do that. It would be weird to offer the category list of fiction for a prurient person to go read about rape, for one thing.

I welcome advice and apologize if I'm posting in the wrong place. Tkech (talk) 14:22, 15 September 2018 (UTC)


 * Too late. We already have Category:Rape in fiction. It was created by User:Sadads in 2011. Dimadick (talk) 11:53, 17 September 2018 (UTC)
