"He talked about rape for a while, and explained how rape is much worse than murder. With murder, the victim is gone, and not forced to deal with what happened to her. The family must deal with it, but not the victim. But rape is much worse. The victim has a lifetime of coping, of trying to understand, of asking questions, and, the worst part, of knowing the rapist is still alive and may someday escape or be released. Every hour of every day, the victim thinks of the rape and asks herself a thousand questions. She relives it, step by step, minute by minute, and it hurts just as bad."

— John Grisham's A Time to Kill, from Jake Brigances's closing statement.

"Along with other forms of sexual assault, it belongs to that class of indignities against the person that cannot ever be fully righted, and that diminishes all humanity"

—Mary M. v. City of Los Angeles, 54 Cal.3d 202,222 (1991)

"Rape is an abhorrent crime that taints the purity and dignity of its victims, especially children, often reducing them to mere shells of what used to be their happy and spirited selves. The man who rapes his own child strips himself of the love and respect due him as a father and a human being. Being thus a slave of his prurient desire, he is reduced to a level lower than beasts. He is no more than a soulless husk and deserves to forfeit his place in human society."

—People of the Philippines v. Enrico Mariano

Yeah, bragging about taking advantage of a drunk woman on a song is wrong. But bragging for four albums straight about running an illegal drug cartel and blowing people's brains out with automatic weapons, that's ok?

I looked up to you
But you looked down on them
Predatory through and through
And you call yourself a man
And you call yourself a man

Hide for now, once the sun comes out
You'll be carbonized
You're making shadows shift like an incubus
You'll be carbonized, it serves you right

— Northlane, "Carbonized"

Nothing, or no one, was sacred. The victims included newborn infants and toddlers. The mentally retarded, both young and old were victimized. There were also physically handicapped people, the elderly, and of course the dead, for the necrofeliacs. Those numerous victims were sodomized and forced to perform fellatio. They were tortured into performing unnatural acts, leaving them all physically and emotionally scarred for life. Others, perhaps the fortunate ones, had died.

—Steven Herberts, The Correctional Officer Inside Prisons (page 94)

The crime of which these defendants were found guilty in the superior court is deemed by the law of this State to be unsurpassed by any other in its vicious nature or in its threat to a peaceful, well ordered society. The accumulated wisdom and experience of the people of North Carolina have caused them, in the Constitution of this State and through their representatives in the General Assembly, to declare this crime to be the equal in seriousness to cold-blooded, premeditated murder, and to provide by law that one found guilty of it shall be put to death unless the jury which so convicts him sees fit, in its discretion, to make his punishment imprisonment for the remainder of his life. N. C. Constitution, Article XI, § 2; G.S. § 14-21.

"...Ok?" Woof says, unsure.
"But..." Duke takes a deep sigh, wondering how his life has gotten to the point where he has to say this kind of grimdark shit. "You flat out raped Valour. Woof, that is so messed up. Not ok. Straight up wrong, you get me? I'm a known murderer as are all the gang and yet... I'm pissed. Angry. Just... I don't know. But as you're one of us now, we need to live alongside you in Games season. We need to be sure this will never repeat!"
