I basically said he's a rape apologist, which he clearly is. Another member of TV tropes I have zero respect for is Fighteer, especially after a certain recent fiasco on the cleanup thread(I'm guessing you know exactly what I'm talking about). Anyway going back to Barrington, using the offscreen villainy argument here is utterly ridiculous for two reasons. first of all child rape is almost always going to be off-screen, especially in a 12 rated work like Tactics. Secondly, as one tropes sensibly pointed out during the first couple of discussions on Barrington, offscreen villainy can count if the plot deals with the results. When rape is the crime in question, showing the victim's trauma is the same as showing a body as murder evidence. Barrington's victim has a breakdown during a failed attempt to kill him, and he tries to kill her after gloating about her being to psychologically damaged to ever harm him.
