I feel like nobody thinks of ruby and meg as victims of sexual violence, bc they are also perpetrators and ppl don't like thinking of perpetrators as capable of victimhood, and bc their capacity to be narratively understood as victims is kinda erased by the distance between demongirls and the bodies they inhabit (demongirls in early spn function as a 3rd gender best described as 'women it is OK to hit') as though nothing that happens to them physically counts as though any sympathy evoked by their pain is automatically suspect (and that's another convo abt how the show trains you to always be suspicious of women in pain or distress). so ppl just completely erase that aspect from their understanding of the characters even though it's sooooo critical.
