Hi fellow users. Do you remember that debate @JakeTheSnake0451 wrote a while ago (https://villains.fandom.com/f/p/4400000000000124726/r/4400000000000444270) about if Darkseid raped Superman by proxy in Superman: The Animated Series? Well, for those who don't know about this, I have currently posted a proposal on Granny Goodness, the one responsible for that crime, so any interested can vote now.
There's an ongoing discussion about whether or not he should be under the Rapists category, and I wanted to hear what everyone else thought because I don't wanna edit-war. In the 2-part finale of Superman: The Animated Series, Darkseid brainwashes Kal-El into a WMD and in the process has him sleep with the Female Furies while he's not himself and therefore unable to consent himself, which is literally the definition of rape by deception because they're using false pretenses to have their way with him and Darkseid just let it happen. I know we have different criteria from other websites and all, but several sources and even the writers themselves have interpreted this as sexual abuse, deciding not to air the Batman Beyond episode with Superman and Lashina's son because that would've made the rape much more apparent.
This...can't be ignored. Just because they don't outright say/show rape doesn't mean it didn't happen.
