the "nearly raped" trope

I just despise that Asian authors have this thing for the "nearly raped" trope where one of the characters is sexually assaulted, nearly raped but they just treat it as a plot device and then immediately jump into a sex scene for the main couple like it's some "purifying sex". Like they nearly got raped and you thing they would immediately want to have sex? It's a traumatic experience, not some run of the mill thing. Well looking at the amount of manga/manhwa that use this trope it becomes a standard and I hate it.
And also that there's no repercussions for the fucking rapist?

    Right? And sometimes they even make spin off stories for those rapists like they deserve any kind of sympathy
