I don't know, it depends on the story, the tone and every little detail of a plot to me. On some level I think it is a harmless romance novel fantasy as long as it is kept a fantasy, just as much as as any other fetish writing online is (who REALLY wants to have sex with worms? Ew:P)... As long as you don't belittle actual real rape or people that have been raped in real life (Or force them to read such scenes) I don't think viewing the idea as passionate is always bad..As long as it logical fits the characters and the world that they live in. Warping characters and their real emotional reactions just to get your PWP fic is just meaningless because you aren't really writing them anymore. I wrote the attempted rape in my Legwarmers to actually highlight how *powerful* Bubbles actually was deep down against not only his body itself, but his very polished powers of seduction. So many people were writing 'if Bubbles was somehow forever tied with Him she would be done for/weak against him/loose herself and become evil' stories that I wrote Legwarmers, and am now working on Gloves, to disprove that weakness idea among other things. In many other cases I might agree than such scenes have no place, but I think certain stories need them given their very nature. Believe me, if they didn't I wouldn't touch the subject because I don't think I do it perfectly :3. I think my pov has been formed a lot over the years because of one of my friends who since I have known her gets into relationships with guys, has sex with them 24/7 it seems like, and as soon as they break up for any reason cries rape. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. After that circus every day I now have very selective ideas of what rape actually means and what shouldn't be called it out of respect for real cases :\
