Hi

I have a request to all the writers out there on IF, kindly refrain from writing from topic like "RAPE".

India is a country where a new case of rape or molestation is reported every 20 minutes a and people here on Forum find it easy to write stories on it. We can't imagine what a girl go through when she is raped, this one incident change her entire life and you can't explain her feelings, her pain, her mental trauma in words. No word can describe it.

In most of the stories, female protagonist who has being raped at the end fall in love with the male protagonist, though he repent badly. But no repentance can make a victim forget that she was raped. It can never take away her pain.

How can you forget the delhi rape case? When people are fighting in India to make strong laws where a rapist should be hanged till death, how easily you set free your leads by a mere repenting track.

It's wrong morally and ethically both. Please you people can get thousands of idea to write a beautiful story over it but please refrain yourself from writing on this topic.

Thank You.

P.S- First line from Second para is as per wikipedia. Here is the link- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rape_in_India

well I totally agree with you. This was a much needed posts. Rape is truely a sensitive issue it must be handled with care and most writers here are not able to do that. The writers themselves don't know whether they want the readers to sympathize, empathize, hate the character or simply love the male protagonist for the crime(rape). We know such things exist. But, at the end of the day the moral of such story is its okay for a man to rape you if he loves you, its okay for a man to rape you if he repents it, its okay for a man to rape if he is your husband. So, it basically promotes the thought is its okay to rape. This underlining message disgusts me to the core, and I'm very sure most of you (who are here supporting this thread)feel the same.

I'm sorry that I mentioning this 'Before the Last Sun Sets' was the only one such story that I did not hate. Though its definitely not my favorite FFs.

So, basically I want to request the writers here in the forum. To refrain from making the male protagonist commit the same crime, its my earnest request. What's the use of writing in the story the things we wish don't happen to us or our loved ones.

Much needed post Shruti
i hv also come across some FFs whose plot is on rape and i feel disgusted to read such thing on my fav couple and more forr insensitivity from writers who cant handle such sensitive topic.

How can one love d person who destroyed ur life, changed it upside down, no girl in our country can live d d normal life aftr such horrible incident. One shudnt forget delhi case and recet one in mumbai.
Plz dont write on such topics and if u writer then handle d story well coz i hv seen some ffs where girl who had been raped fas in love wid rapist?
Is tha t possible?
No matter how much d guy repents it is unforgivable sin.


P.S.- i hv read ppl saying they r inspired by MB books?

well said shruti
rape
forced sex
contract sex...
whatever is cheapening a woman
these FFs do it
brazenly
proudly
as if it is a great thing
an what is more shocking is that these FFs have the max followers
and the writers and readers are both women
how can we encourage this?
read such stories?
is there sadist lurking in many who encourage such FFs
even if it is fiction?

Completely agree...I hate stories where Khushi is raped by Arnav and later they both fall in love with each other...The writers simply don't understand the horrifying experience that rape is for a woman and the shame and humiliation that comes with it...
And in some of these so called "Dark FFs" Arnav is nothing better than a serial rapist hunk who raped Khushi because she dared to question him or stand against him in some way...
Indian men have definitely raped women for the same reasons in real life, the very people against whom many in the country are protesting for capital punishment...
Its better that such stories are not written...

Seriously ppl are writing like this?😔 I don't read much on IF, just post.
I do think the rape topic should be allowed to be written on--if done with sensitivity and a clear sense of right and wrong.

But the victim forgiving and falling for the rapist? 🤢 That is wrong on so many levels. And I agree, a very disturbing message to spread.

I will say this, there are multiple ways to show brutality including beatings, rape, molestation, and even mental anguish taking the prize with spouses having affairs and so on.
I did question a writer about this once. I was humbled to find that it was based on her life story. She found a way to vent her inner turmoils and let people know what happened to her.
