This will sound really strange but...

katikat... when a male character in a fic is raped by another male character, there are no other pairings (het or slash) and the rape itself is a part of the plot (if you take it away, the story is completely gen)...
Is such a story still gen or slash? I'm not talking about the warnings or the necessity of making people aware of the story's content. What I'm getting at is the genre.
I would call it gen because there is no homosexual relationship. Just like I wouldn't call a story het only because a female character was raped... But that's just me.
