World's Scariest Rape

[westslide]

I promised folks a tale after the last rant. Or, rather, they asked. I deliver!

Disclaimer: This might not actually be THE Scariest Rape in RP, EVER. I'm sure there are more traumatising events out there. I simply hope that you will have been as sheltered as I was until this point to be shocked - Shocked! - by what took place. I hope this loses

I ... can see how parts of that would make for an interesting plot, in the hands of good players.

This, though ... augh. D:

Oh, yes. The complicated relationship between two people who were forced to undergo something traumatic could be FASCINATING. I'd be all over that with a role-player I trusted.

But this was used in not only an attention-seeking way, but in a manipulative, controlling way - husband was not allowed to have a negative reaction, or epic guilt trips were thrown at him. I never got the impression from Wifey, IC or OOC, that she thought Pallyboy was be anything other than silly for having a problem with her close relationship with her rapist.

My thoughts exactly. That general idea is actually one I've thought of before, grouped with similar ideas since someday I might find a game or partner(s) that would want to explore that. But the potential for it going horribly wrong, like with your story, sort of scares me. D:

...Wifey is creepy. /telling you what you already know aha

*shudder*

I read that. I wish I hadn't. (O.o) It reminds me of the raaaaage I felt in a past RP where I rp'd a parent and BOTH her daughters 'fell in love' with the person who raped/kidnapped them. It's like.. wtf. the players at the time had a penchant for wiggity stuff like that though so blah. :(

I feel your pain on said subject.

Yeahhh. I think what unsettled me the most was that not only was the player Not Getting the nuances and ways of it being interesting... I got the distinct impression that she was getting a massive rape-kink out of the whole thing.

THERE IS NOT ENOUGH DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDX IN THE WORLD.

[higenshi]

Better yet. THE UNIVERSE.

[westslide]

Yeahhh, that was about my reaction. From an apprehensive contemplation of how to RP through the rape plot (apprehensive because I was already dubious about her habits), to increasing amounts of seriously Not Wanting. There was a freaking therapy group by the time the Spiritual Bond came out. I was bought cake.

I blame Luke & Laura for shit like this, telling people it's normal and expected to fall in love/have a 'bond' with your rapist.

[a_happenstance]

I had to google what Luke and Laura meant and the wiki entry made me O_o

[fearpatientmen]

You and me both. Oh boy oh boy.

[gizzybiscuits]

Who're they? /Looks up

[fearpatientmen]

You know I very, very, VERY carevfully made sure I never found out the details of that plot.

The slight scttered hints that were dropped were enough to cause me to rise, leave the screen, and go to a different place, only to return with a new character who could not possibly get involved with this crazy.

But yet somehow, I always knew, deep inside the sad little crevice in my chest that houses my heart, that one day I would find out the details.

Why internet, why have you turned on me?

Joking aside I don;t think you need to clarify that Wifey had a gift fro dragging people along with her crazy. The fact that you were trapped for so long is proof enough. Once more, congrats on dumping the albatross. Next time drop it off something higher with its wings glued together. Of course she might be kept alive by her spiritual bond with her rapist.

[westslide]

The spiritual bond did one good thing. I meant I wrote what could only be described as the RP equivalent of a 'Dear John' letter as fast as my fingers could carry me. It also meant I was too freaked out and frustrated to pussy out through being anxious about confrontation.

But the Rape Recovery was a dark, dark time. I'm glad I could share the pain. :P

[fearpatientmen]

And now you've got to the stage where you can talk about the experiences. Let it all out, there there:).

I am deeply relieved that stuff's over with. I think folk seemed to be a lot happier without that crazy around.
