@MarDeColores this is not it kids

I really don't like it when the main character gets thrust into a scary, insane world and they're just like, hey, you know what? We should go explore this place and leave where I know I can leave! We should leave our guide behind because they don't know anything about this place they were born in! This might just because if I got into that situation, I would be like, okay, let's just not touch anything and stay in place until we figure out what the heck is going on here. Also, the whole, "light is good and dark is bad" thing. More chaotic good people, please.

YES.

I'm messing with this trope so much.

Rape as redemption (Yes that is a troop)

Oh boy…. I think im guilty of this one….

THE FILIOQUE!

Is this the trope where a '''''slutty''''''girl gets raped, and then becomes the pinnacle of virtue? Because I hate that trope.

Hey, guys does this count as "Rape as Redemption"?

I have a female character suffering from BPD and MPD in a post-apocalyptic setting. She basically was a cannibalistic, genocidal maniac. After going up against a "raider group" leader and suffering a defeat, she stumbles off into the forest where she is later raped (though this is not written down). She wakes up traumatized into her second personality, which is far more calmer. Confused, scared, and in pain, she lives her life out peacefully in an attempt not to awake her other personality in fear of hurting others (since she literally killed her brother).

That's twisted.

Yeah…..thank God people have realized 'hey maybe this isn't a good thing to include in books'

I have a feeling you'd absolutely love the "Kingdom Hearts" series of games. Literally, the entire conflict is just "This guy's heart was filled with darkness and he needs light" for 13 games across 17 years.

Also, Mickey Mouse beats up anime guys and one of the reoccurring antagonists is Maleficent

I don't think so. Why is that in there in the first place though? I would advise against. It probably shouldn't be the main conflict if you have other big story feed.

Whadafrick?

The series is a crossover between multiple Disney movies and Final Fantasy. Seriously, watch any cutscene from Kingdom Hearts out of context and you'll have the time of your life.

It isn't. It's her back story. The main conflict is raider and gunner groups closing in on the same territory. The rape isn't the important part, but what she was before it. I included rape to make it more realistic ( at least in my case, with my parents shoving the dangers of life down my throat) and a good way to boost her out of her secondary personality. I looked up the "Rape as Redemption" trope and was scared it fit the criteria. I apologize.

But… I'm pretty sure rape isn't a back burner subject. Granted, I am not familiar with sexual trauma, but I would assume it's a really big deal. So unless it is supposed to be really important, I would say drop it. Because it is an important subject that should be treated with the gravity it deserves. Not as a taste of realism.
