[QUOTE="Berandor, post: 56959, member: 225"] I agree with you, man. Shortly ago, I wrote a small story on the Fight Club about my characet who was once totally insane. During the course of his insanity, he raped a woman, resulting in his daughter. When i wrote about the rape, it was very hard for me. I knew what I wrote about, it it made things really diifcult, as I didn't want to soften things, but also didn't want to break loose a controversy. In the end, I cut away from the scene after my character had physically assaulted the woman, and when he dragged her over to the bed. Still, it was very difficult to read (at least to me), and I don't think such a scene will be portrayed by me in the next stories I write (off board). I actually think rape can have a stronger impact on the reader than murder, because the victim lives on. It shouldn't be softened up or used without thought in any case. Berandor [/QUOTE]
