A Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ user asked this question about Outlander (Outlander, #1):

why are people saying Outlander is a rape book?

Mari Rape is prominently featured, and a very big part of the plot. Sure rape was common in the 1700's. Guess what? it is common now. That doesn't mean somâ€¦m´Ç°ù±ðRape is prominently featured, and a very big part of the plot. Sure rape was common in the 1700's. Guess what? it is common now. That doesn't mean someone wouldn't be most likely to tell a story sert in the 1700's, or 2016 without mentioning rape. Yes, it happens, but it really is not a huge part of life then or now. Its no more a "part" of life then embezzlement. No, I do NOT think that this book promotes a culture of rape. I don't think we need yet another moral guard dog telling us what to write or to watch, I am just saying that this book has a completely absurd amount of rape in it, NOT in the least justified by the time and place it is somewhat representing.(less)
