Entry tags:fandom: house, fanfic, rape is not funny

All the best rapists carry ball gags.
Small, but growing....

babylambda86 posts a Cameron rapefic in the housefic comm, wherein House comes bravely to her rescue. As distressing as the fic is on its literary merits, the truly disturbing part of the icon she originally posted with it: Cameron, wearing a (badly) photoshopped ball gag, and the words "rape victim". Well, that, and this particular quote:

[House] knew this wasn’t the time for jokes or a sarcastic remark, no matter how much he thought [Cameron] deserved it for dressing like a hooker.

In the comments, babylambda requests that her critics be harsh. They oblige:


rickmaniac101: Okay. You asked for harsh. I think this needs more than a rewrite. It needs to be betaed like crazy.

And...what the hell is up with your icon? Sorry, but that disturbs me in ways I just can't describe, especially if you're writing a rape story. Jesus.

hermiones_twin: I agree. This needs... Rehab.

Then brown_betty brings the smackdown:

I cannot know what you intended, but your eroticization of this rape disturbs me, and your victimization, (literally, in your icon, labelling her a victim, in addition to treating her as a woman who is helpless and needs defending,) is frightening and tempts me to draw conclusions about your view of women. This may not be what you intended, but I can assure you it is what many readers are getting from it. Fantasies, even fantasies of rape and humiliation, are not intrinsically wrong, but not recognizing them as such is a huge social faux pas.


Ah, rapefic wank. Is there anything more truly... er, ubiquitous?

EDIT: Erased already. (I'm thinking that sets some land speed records there.) But I managed to save it here.

EDIT2: The original icon. Technically work-safe, if highly disturbing.

She bah-leeted it the moment people started WTFing, which is what makes me think she wasn't, actually, a troll.

Just. Er. Scary.

I'd laugh if I wasn't so disturbed.

Does anyone else kind of want to see that icon with 'Photoshop' replacing the word 'rape'?

No? Ah, well, I guess it's just me.

I was thinking "MS Paint Victim" myself, because that's some serious pixelation.

You win for that tear. The tear makes that icon.

Go right ahead. I figure I put it up to share, so anyone who wants to take it can take it. I'm too lazy to wank about credit and asking, anyway. :)
