Consequently, sexual violence as part of the standard repertoire of villains, both with respect to their own actions and in their acceptance of, or incitement to, sexual violence including gang rape, is not an emanation of a religious con- cept of evil, but simply a transposition of real-life male behaviour into fictional narratives. in any case, this sort of sexual violence is presented as “good” on neither side of the Pacific.
