Yes, you read that correct.

Remember the thread I made 3 months ago about Sam Maggs writing Star Trek comics?

Well in issue 3 Picard gets mentally raped by a classmate

And then physically beaten by the same classmate after Picard tries to push the rapist away.

And nothing happens about it.

No charges filed. No firing of the cadet who just raped another. Nothing.

Because it happens to a man.

Those of you who will have seen older ST media may remember the concept of mind raping to have been addressed before. Deanna gets mind raped in both the TNG series and later Nemesis movie. T'Pol has a male vulcan force a mind-meld on her in Enterprise that has lasting consequences to her health for several series. Other series also looked into this but as was the case with Deanna and T'Pol the one being mind raped was always a woman.

In this comic Sam Maggs writes Picard being forcefully mindscanned, something likened to rape by many telepathic species both in Star Trek and other franchises, yet there are absolutely zero consequences brought towards the rapist.

So that's Sam Maggs now with "rape advocate and fetishist" to add to the list of things when describing just how badly any works written are.
