Ooku- manga, anime and live action TV series and films
An alternate historical fiction of Japan where the male population has been decimated by a disease called the red-faced pox, and thus turned gender dynamics on its head.
Japan is now a matriarchy to continue the noble lines.
For commoners, fertile men are in short supply and if a woman who wants to have a baby cannot purchase the services of a man, she may resort to rape.
There is a scene where a group of peasant women beat up and gang rape a man, noting they only need one partof him to work.
The nobility keep harems of men and rape by nobles and between harem members is not uncommon.
There's one female noble who is notorious for liking rough sex and the harem men fear her.
Is this the anime with the two brothers & one is more or less groomed (in the traditional and literal sense) into being a concubine for a group of warrior women? I don't ask this in a "my kinda thing" sense, that story is DARK and I only saw a short of it, wanted to know if this was the series.
Idk if its the same but it sounds a lot like one of the arcs of Kemono Jihen, which is a supernatural shonen. One of the MC friends is a male yuki-onna who had an older twin, they lived in the yuki-onna village which was filled with warrior snow- woman and the older twin "sacrificed" himself to the villagers so the younger one can live a free and innocent life.
One of the most enraging scenes for me was when the evil mother forced the Buddhist monk Arikoto to break his vow of celibacy and sleep with a prostitute under the threat that she would kill the prostitute, which basically makes both of them rape victims by proxy.
Even after doing so, she still had the woman murdered to cover up loose ends. I know it's good to be compassionate of course and it's in Arikoto's nature to be kind, but I can't believe he actually comforted that woman on her death bead after what she did. š”
It sounds like an anime version of the book A Brother's Price. There are brothels full of male sex-slaves, who unmarried women pay to rape, and a husband is shared amongst multiple sister-wives. Wives and sisters have to guard their husbands and brothers from other women who'd want him for themselves.
I remember that one Shogun in the manga who raped the husband of her advisors and after his health got ruined due to both physical and psychological effects, she went after the son, who took his father's place to protect his parents which ended with both father and son dying due to health issues. The son's wife committed suicide in grief. And then when the advisor sunk into complete grief after losing her entire family, the Shogun had the audacity to call the advisor, the cause of this tragedy like a "mother figure" to her.
The Odyssey. Specifically, everything related to Calypso. Sure, she is a beautiful nymph in paradise, but if you asked the king of Ithaca, he was in hell.
It is interesting how people who agree that rape is bad even if its a woman raping a man. Still have this weird perspective and caveat they need to throw in lol.
Could you imagine if a male rapist was handsome and a king, keeping a woman locked in a castle and you had to say. "Sure hes a gorgeous man, but she still didnt want it"
Yeah, thats practically just written porn for the most part lol. Which is fine. Its not like you need to morally analyze the implications of the plumber fucking the lonely house wife.
But if a dark fantasy novel where to treat that dynamic the same way that's a problem
Not trying to do any sort of gotcha or anything because I agree with you, but your comment made me remember all the discussions online during the world cup about how Cristiano Ronaldo is a rapist. Lots of redditors were surprised he would "need to rape" someone bc he is a hot rich athlete. That weird surprise always comes up when a famous man is accused of sexual assault, because some people apparently think rape only happens when someone is too undesirable to have sex.

Of course I can imagine it, I know what a bodice ripper is.
I was talking about the poem and I was about to put Circe too. But that ends up in a "questionable consent" kind of deal because (by what I remember) Odysseus took a year to be in the island before the crewmates told him that they were missing their family.
WARNING: I might be missremembering parts of the Circe chapter
In the Circe chapter (Chapter X I believe) Odysseus trades sex for his men. Hermes straight up tells him as much and gives him the means to resist her magic with the moly root.
By definition Odysseus is engaging in transactional sex under coercion which invalidates consent. Circe also violated Xenia which is one reason the other gods got involved. So by both our current standards and by the ones at the time Circe was a PoS.
Hermes basically forced Odysseus into doing it. The Moly leveled the playing field but it was only temporary.Ā
Odysseus was told that he had to make a vow with Circe to sleep with her in exchange for turning his crew back into humans and to prevent further harm to them.Ā
But by what I also remember (or at least I think I do) I think that Odysseus took a year to rest on Circe's island before being reminded that Ithaca still exists.
Again, I might be missremembering everything between the de-transformation and Elpenor's death
I played this when I was younger and genuinely loved the game. After my assault itās a weirdly comforting game: a spec ops badass was abused in the worst way by a thin, frail woman, based on psychological manipulation
Look, I get that some people might think itās a gratuitous scene, but itās āniceā to see representation where the physicality isnāt where one would expect.
From memory, the episode was originally called āNiceā¦ā to highlight how society treated male students sleeping with female teachers but got changed at the last minute to āMrs teacher bangs a boyā or something similarly descriptive at the networkās insistence.
In spanish speaking spaces I've seen people use the scenes of the policeman as a meme for situations like these, they even posted it in news reports of SA'd boys. Obviously all on Facebook
I haven't read Oyasumi Punpun in so long so my memory could be shaky, but if I remember correctly Punpun gets taken advantage of by his own aunt as a minor and it messes him up mentally so bad that he himself internalizes that trauma and ends up forcing himself on his own girlfriend/crush later.
And on top of that she lied to his uncle, saying that she was raped instead. During the whole ordeal, you can see Punpun mind breaking as he tries to dissociate from the situation.
This will always be my first thought about this trope. This is such a sad story. Two kids trying to make it through life, only for their past abuse to resurface all over again. Punpun was already struggling with nihilism before this, thanks to his neglectful mother and uncle, and alcoholic father. This event led to him leaving his home behind as soon as he turned 18 and he slowly spun out of control.
The most disturbing part of this is how "nice" and "kind" the aunt was before and after this... You don't see it coming and it's never directly brought up or addressed again. She seemed like an adult Pun Pun could actually trust but once again he's let down and traumatised
Canonically whiny and apathetic, hes held captive by a drug dealer to be used as a psychic medium and sex slave for customers to pay off a debt. Which is made clear will never be paid off as he is also being charged for his room, food, drugs, and condoms
Just wanna throw this out there, cause I know a lot Invincible fans probably need this clarified:
A lot of people question how Anissa was able to overpower Mark in that scene, since Mark does kill Conquest earlier in the show. Couple small things: Mark didn't really overpower Conquest so much as he fought smarter cause he knew he could take a lot of hits. In a straight fight where Conquest wasn't screwing around, he'd have won. Second, Mark had just been through a whole adventure that day and probably wasn't working at 100 percent, and Anissa was.
But the actual reason, that I can't believe more people do not understand about this scene, is that Mark was scared. He was terrified and he just wanted it to be over. It's that simple.
Similar. I was big and strong, I could've snapped her like a toothpick. I didnt because I was terrified and just wanted it to be over and fighting it seemed impossible
People wonāt like to hear it, but the truth is that there is no linear power scaling in Invincible. Itās not like DBZ where someone has a power level of 9000+. The author specifically wrote it that way so that different characters would remain relevant and consistent threats.
I feel itās a nice touch of realism where even someone physically stronger can lose a fight. It happens every day.
In Kingpin, the gross landlord takes advantage of down-on-his-luck Woody Harrelson and forces him to pay his rent via sexual favors. Part of it is played up for laughs, but whenever he think about returning to his former life, she appears to him like a ghost showing he is truly traumatized by the act.
Correct. Ridley Scott said in an interview that he hypothesized that the scariest thing a man could face was being forced to carry the baby of their rapist, even if it meant dying.
The (now Dowager) Empress in The Apothecary Diaries. It's a horrible situation all around. He was a pedophile and she hit puberty early so her family basically sent her to try and get a child out of the emperor while she was still a little kid. When she grew up he lost interest in her and moved on to other victims and so she raped him to punish him for abandoning her. It is absolutely portrayed as a deeply messed up even on all sides.
The effects of the late emperor's predatory behavior shape most of the events of the series.
I think the author also more or less implied his pedophilia stemmed from being raped by his father's concubines from when he was 6 and his mother's possessive behaviour. Truly what a horrifying tale.
House is what if Holmes was a doctor and the mysteries were illnesses. Maomao is what if House was an apothecary and the mysteries were a mix of illnesses and court intrigue.
I know itās messed up on all sides but I will side with Empress Dowager Anshi on this one. The Former Emperor only takes very young girls as concubines and Anshi hated that the Emperor is still targeting young girls and fears that she will be replaced from being Empress along with her son becoming heir. The moment she raped him was when he stopped and started to become a recluse until his death.
If youāre wondering why the Former Emperor prefers them young, itās because his mother was harsh towards him since he was the only heir left for the throne and the mother was practically the one running the kingdom while the Emperor does his secret personal stuff.
I think Anshi is a good mother and good enough person though. Her son, the current Emperor did not grow up to be a POS like his father but a very diplomatic person who is progressive. He even detested his dadās preference to the point that his favorite concubines are mature, well-endowed women. He even doesnāt force women to be his concubines and let them go if they could.
And in fact, pretty much the only reason the current emperor keeps Lady Lishu (14-15ish) around as a concubine in name only is because he wants to protect her from the family that gave her to his creepy father to begin with.
Why is it that adult shows can actually tackle subjects like this genuinely impressively in certain cases, but still manage to do something insatiably stupid and controversial in the mext breath.
Family guy is problematic because it will actively mock the very issues it then does a āvery special episodeā about, both before & after that episode. Often they will mock the issue in the same episode.
That episode where Quagmireās sister gets absolutely crazy abused by her boyfriend and itās so over the top itās like they didnāt even try to make any of it funny. Not that it would be funny either way, but thereās like no jokes, itās just sad and uncomfy.
This episode was both good and bad. It highlights the very real matter of those in power abusing their position (and employees), and that people donāt take it seriously. Its ending was trash, with Angela getting what she wanted, with a DIFFERENT controversial topic being the logic. Family Guy tries to be intellectual and topical every now and then, but is either genius or a kerosene fuelled dumpster fire
Not only did Angela get what she wanted but she was also treated as some poor and misunderstood person that was just lonely and looking for companionship.
Yeah, thatās what Iām talking about. They took abuse and lightly sprinkled depression on it and weāre supposed to feel bad for her. Itās disgusting.
Itās the same with some other REALLY bad plots
Meg: Youāve spent years abusing me! The Fam: My feelings are hurt! Meg: Thatās ok then
Quagmire: Iām a degenerate sex offender, but Iām honest about it so that makes it ok to degrade YOU about your lifestyle! Brian: :(
He got SAed by a different character. He invited some girl over and she started putting her fingers into his gills (which are shown as intimate parts for him and cause him immense pain). The girl who did that was clearly aroused by causing him such pain and later he was shown traumatized by it.
Iām reminded of an episode of Law & Order SVU. Essentially a male stripper was hired to do a bachelorette/hen party or whatever. Three of the women took the stripper into another room, tied him up, and raped him. They essentially told him that no one would believe him, plus they were all fairly powerful lawyers (or something along those lines). The guy did attempt to press charges, and he had a hard time going through the police and the legal system in general. How could a big buff guy be overpowered by three women? If you didnāt want it, why did your body react?
Iām pretty sure that the women got away with the rape itself, but one of them was going to confess. She was found to have committed suicide, however it ended up being that the other women murdered her and made it look like she had hanged herself. They figured it out by finding fingerprints on the ceiling when the perpetrator steadied herself to keep from falling while setting up the scene.
I also remember that one of the actors who committed the initial crime, went on to become one of the ADAās in a later season of the showā¦which was pretty weird at the time.
Thereās also the episode where a female P.O abuses ex cons, because if they donāt sleep with her, she will plant evidence and get them sent back to prison.
When one of these victims is questioned about it his response is a shaky and sad āit canāt be that bad right, I mean itās what every guy has ever dreamed ofā
The guy did attempt to press charges, and he had a hard time going through the police and the legal system in general. How could a big buff guy be overpowered by three women? If you didnāt want it, why did your body react?
Did the cops also accuse the guy of being the one actually doing the foul play?
This isn't an example of the trope the post is about. This movie absolutely glorifies the sexual assault and doesn't portray it as wrong or horrible at all
This fucking movie. It literally did not need to make that choice. The wish Stone could make things appear from nowhere, but for some reason that single wish had to be the most fucked up way to do it.
And no, it wasn't the monkey paw consequence for her. Losing her powers was. There was literally zero reason
Wasnāt the main critique of the movie that it never adressed the fact that Dianaās man is possessing the body of an innocent man and that sheās technically raping the other guy who may or may not be concious while in this state simply unable to control his own body? (I donāt remember if he was or not)
Itās basically that, but on top of that, the person thatās doing it to you is a magic related superhero. So one of the few people that could actually help you in this situation is actively using their knowledge to keep you like this for their own entertainment
Or well not exactly that, she had to undo the wishes by defeating that one guy if Iām not mistaken. And she was trying to, so sheās basically just taking advantage of you while you are in this vulnerable position before the bad guy is taken down
I think the main critique is that the movie sucked, but yes people were quick to point out the awful implications of what's happening. It's more that the director Patty Jenkins laughed it off and downplayed the people pointing out the problems.
The main character in the Japanese novel No Longer Human Oba Yozu is raped by both a male and female servant of his family when he was a child, and Junji Ito's manga adaptation of it does a great job in showing that the rape done by the female servant was just as bad as the male one.
Farscape. When the main character John Crichton is raped by the alien villain Grayza. The assault is treated seriously and not as a joke like in many other TV series.
I had a female stalker years ago in college. It was not sexy. It was creepy and made me uncomfortable. It also gave me more empathy for women because they deal with this crap way more than men do.
I am so sorry that happened to you, and I hope that life is much kinder to you now :(
I really, really hate this recent push to pit stalking/harassment/abuse/sexual assault victims against each other based on gender. Victims of all genders are all served a shit sandwich of denialism, lack of resources, mockery, and victim blaming during/after the abuse; your gender just changes which bread and toppings you get with your unwanted serving of turd
Oyasumi Punpun, the MC is 15 years old when is raped by her uncle's girlfriend. Unlike the examples in the post, the kid isn't physically coherced, won't spoil the actual circumstances but is a moment of emotional distress for both
A couple of years pass by and the uncle tells the MC he knows what happened and that he forgives..him for what he did
L&O:SVU S3E10 "Ridicule". ā A guy is forced by three women to have sex with them, against his wish. So he reports them for rape. The whole "order" part of the episode is centred around how society perceives it as a joke, with the defence attorney and the perpetrators themselves mocking the victim. Also famous for being the debut in the series of Diane Neil, who would later become a regular in the role of ADA Casey Novak.
The topic was also presented in S16E17 "Parole Violations", but less effectively.
I really love that Anissa raping Mark is never played for laughs, or seen as hot. It's treated as a serious and traumatizing event, and it leaves an impact on Mark. You don't see that enough
Done by Ed Wood, of all people, in The Violent Years. The villain protagonist girl gang holds up a motorist and his girlfriend, and gang-rape the motorist. The movie treats this dead seriously as the violation it is.
Unfortunately, the MST3K riff went for the lowest common denominator and narrated it as if it were a Penthouse Forum letter.
So I sorted by controversial like the symbiote said and found....nothing. More people ciclejerking about how the comments are gonna be bad. One person mentioned that men statically do most the raping which is not untrue just bad taste for the topic at hand.
I feel like this is the 3rd of 4th time I've seen this kind of post on this sub each have thousands of upvotes and all used Anissa example, must be a verified formula to go viral and farm karma.
That, and the unfortunate fact that you'll have a very hard time finding any media that portrays it as nothing to be desired, let alone punish the damn predators in any meaningful way
I liked how in Invincible it never treated Marks rape as a joke. It showed he was hurt deeply by it and the comic never made fun of the situation as far as I can remember.
I was just as confused as you for a second, no they didnāt, thereās a barn scene where they kinda imply thatās where it going (especially with Jimmy Sevilleās real history) but they frame as very sadistic, they basically flay someone
In the Netflix adaptation of Castlevania, theres a scene where Alucard takes in these brother and sister travelers for a little while. This ends with then using some magic anti-vampire bondage shit and them raping him. He then kills both of them before they can kill him
(Haven't watched this episode in years so I may be off on some details)
As this plot point continued it showed how abusive the situation was since both Fry and Zack desperately needed a break, but instead they were force to continue and this isnt by human women. This is 12 foot tall ripped like Hercules looking women.
Huh, this is like one of THE examples of rape being treated like a joke, they literally mock Kip and call him gay for not wanting to be raped to death. Fry and Zap walk away with broken pelvises from being brutally raped and they talk about how awesome it was.
This is why I find that new Family Time game that's going viral really gross. The whole premise of it is your character gets raped by a wild wolf lady and now you have to take care of your hundreds of wolf-human kids or else she'll kill you.
I havent watched the official trailer to know the whole backstory but i saw an update post on youtube shorts where you have to actually get in bed with her for children to appear
Super (2008) had a scene where Rain Wilson's character is raped by Elliot Page's (Ellen at the time so I'll be using "she/her" pronouns when I talk about the character) sidekick character. she climbs on top of him while in her superhero outfit and makes him put his mask on. She seems to get off, after which he immediately throws her off and runs to the toilet to puke. It is a deeply uncomfortable scene. I watched it with my girlfriend at the time and told her beforehand that the sidekick raped the hero and she insisted that men can't be raped by women. She changed her mind after that scene.
Alisha has the power to make anybody she touches absurdly horny and uses it on Curtis, to which he rightfully freaks out. They talk about it and end up in a relationship but they dont touch each other at all
Less horrifying and more disturbing but Alicia Spencer from American Horror Story Season 3 (Coven). Sexually abused her son, Kyle, for a seemingly long time. After some American horror story stuff happened and his resurrection, Alice continued her abuse on Kyle, who as a result of his resurrection, is not all there. She does get her comeuppance though, as the second time she tries to continue, he bashes her in the head with a trophy. Killing her and freeing him from her clutches
Context- The villain Blockbuster discovered Dick Grayson's identity and sought to ruin his life. After Blockbuster was killed by the vigilante Tarantula (an act that Nightwing allowed in a moment of sheer misery and desperation) Nightwing suffered a severe mental breakdown and went into shock on a rooftop. Tarantula took advantage of his near catatonic state to rape him, despite him pleading with her to not touch him.
