Rapists

Rapists are villains who have committed rape or attempted to do so. Rape is the crime of having intercourse with someone without any given consent at all, forcing someone to engage in any type of sexual behavior they do not want to do or are disabled, or too young to consent. Even a single instance of it is regarded as a very heinous crime as well as an instant Moral Event Horizon-crossing in most cases. This category can also apply to villains who have had others raped or were complicit in the crime, even if they have not committed the act themselves, such as most human traffickers or snuff filmers, as well as those who aid in or enable it or commit rape by proxy (e.g. AM, Vladimir Makarov, Ernst Stavro Blofeld, and Tywin Lannister).

These villains are regarded by many, sometimes, even amongst other villains, as some of the most abhorrent individuals, as rape is regarded as often one of the worst forms of torture, especially if inflicted to children. But while rape is always a serious crime, the gravity of the act depends on the age of the victim, as well as the injuries inflicted and the duration of the rape as a whole, knowing that; to make matters worse, a handful of rapists murder their victims afterwards, an act most commonly done to prevent their victims from reporting to law enforcement/the public. But in other cases, rapists are also often associated with slavery and blackmail, as they will do anything in their power to keep the victim from leaving, to prevent the rapist's act being reported. It is usually done to assert power and control over a victim and can remove the victim's sense of control over their body, life, and romance. That is why rapists are psychologically abusive as well as physically, can drive their victims crazy and even make them feel guilty. It is not necessarily done out of hate, but it is often done for those reasons. A rapist can commit the act out of pure jealousy too, most often done after the fact, that, a perpetrator was not able to make a victim theirs beforehand. Some of these villains even rape non-sapient animals.

While lust is often a common motivation, not all rapists fall under perverts, as some may commit the act merely out of sadism or hatred alone without any kind of sexual desire towards the victim at all, such as Bogs Diamond, Monty de la Cruz and William Lewis to have revenge on or to display dominance over others. In these cases, it will make the rapist even worse than they already are. Those who have others raped for profit or other pragmatic gain, without any sort of sexual motive, do not qualify as perverts (e.g. Anthony Damon and The Greek).

Important[]

Rape is intercourse or any sexual act performed against another against their will, by aggressive means or deception, such as drugs. This is an important thing to remember to differ it from molestation or sexual harassment, which is when a pervert acts inappropriately with or sexually touches another. Therefore, mere perverts do not count unless they force someone to appease them in an aggressive manner.

Harassment and molestation do not become rape until aforementioned violence or deception is involved. Therefore, not all harassers or molesters are rapists, though a great many of them inevitably are or become so in time. But those who are known, such as Edward Alderson and Skip Westcott or are heavily implied to be sexual abusers, such as Isabella Caruso can still be classified as rapists, even if the specifics of the abuse are not entirely known.

A rape threat does not automatically warrant this category. If the villain only makes a rape threat without going through with the act, then they do not qualify. Otherwise, they do.
