I'm trying not to work myself up into a rage over this and failing

Please do not rec fics to me involving the following:

1) Girls/women being physically raped/sexually abused
2) Girls/women being mentally raped/abused
3) Girls/women FALLING IN LOVE WITH THEIR ATTACKER after the events of 1) and/or 2)
4) Anything playing to pedophilia/loli (loli, which is supposed to be the "cute" name for wanting to sexually abuse children, I guess)

I'm not into it. Sorry. Maybe someday I'll talk about the handful of works that actually dealt with any of the above items in a way I was able to respect and appreciate (Murakami's Piercing comes to mind, as well as Let the Right One In and Audition). Notable that most of those are horror stories. Why? Because the above elements I have listed only work for me when treated with the horrific gravitas they imply and command.

Maybe I'll regret making a pissy post like this later, but at the moment I'm still raging enough to let it slide.

I have the powerful urge to link this everywhere.
