Rapists are Pure Evils who either rape, attempt to rape, order rapes or enable rape. It can be done either for sexual gratification (often accompanied with extreme torture, abnormal rituals and murder) or as a form of dominance over another. Thus, it is not always the case that a rapist is a pervert; in fact, a significant number of them are not. Due to the fact that rape is regarded as one of the worst and most abhorrent terms of abuse, these villains are usually seen as Hate Sinks. Not only does it severely harm the victim physically, but also mentally and socially as not only will they never be the same again, but they will often be subjected to stigma. Characters who habitually engage in this kind of behavior are usually shunned by all but the most extreme societies and may even be targeted by other villains due to these acts being deeply disgusting even among criminals, especially if done against young children. Although, in the most extreme cases, even kids themselves can be rapists, with teenagers being more likely to do it. It is so horrific and rare for them to be Pure Evil because many non-adult rapists are tragic and were surrounded by other rapists who turned them into the person they are today. Only an exploitation film (where anything can happen) could actually have a villain like that. But obviously, most of these villains are adults, both men and women.
