Werewolves v.s Rapists

[JoshuaMadoc]

Then work on a non-lethal action plan, especially if you have a werewolf with twice the combative power of the best human pugilists and grapplers in the world.

As the man, is the wolf, that's my motto.

If a rapist turned were, he'd keep up his old habits. If an angry rape victim turned were, well, that's just awesome. I'd love to see a meek female in a dangerous situation shift and tear the ever-living crap out of her would-be assailant.

Just wanted to say that I love how everyone is talking about how it's so wrong to rape someone and/or infect someone with lycanthropy against their will whilst simultaneously discussing efficient and unsuspecting ways to kill someone.

Of course, that ties into that whole "motive" thing that was mentioned when the thread began; we can think of plenty of reasons why it would be justifiable to kill someone, but not to rape them.

I'm confused, however, because I can think of a few reasons why infecting someone would be excusable as well.

"It was an accident."
"You would have died if I didn't. Look, it's already healing."
"There's only two options and this is the one where they'll let you live."

I guess my gripe is that killing someone is by no means the higher ground in any situation. It can be brushed aside sometimes as a necessary evil, but it's still about as evil as evil can get. Just because it can be acceptable doesn't mean it should always be acceptable, and I pity anyone, man or werewolf alike, that gets in a habit of thinking that way.

Hm. This thread may very well have inspired another H.H.L. character. Thanks guys, I appreciate it.

Actually now that I think about it, I read a werewolf novel recently where one of the main characters was "raped"(forcibly turned) by another werewolf. She ends up pretty shaken, becomes overly timid, deathly afraid of guys, and hides behind her inner wolf for strength when she needs it. "raping" a human is looked down upon packs and is usually forbidden....I wonder when the sequel will be out...?
