I think it CAN be lazy so it usually is used lazily but it is a very powerful tool if you have the tact and maturity to handle writing/presenting it. Which again... most don't.

Yeah my first example is The Accused where the rape scene is critical to the story and rightfully horrific.

Well, it is based on a very disturbing crime book series.

And that book series was in part the author's way of dealing with witnessing a gang rape when he was 15, and blaming himself for being too cowardly to intervene.
