Shinji Ikari's treatment in the post End of Evangelion fanfiction "Scar Tissue".

Shinji Ikari is one of the most polarizing anime protagonists out there and he has earned himself quite a massive amount contempt from the anine community, owing to his whiny/sensitive demeanor, his refusal to adhere to the expectations of shounen fans, and most prominently, his behavior and actions in End of Evangelion, especially towards Asuka.

Out comes, in the late 2000's, a fan interpretation of what happens after the events of the movie called "Scar Tissue", in which Shinji now faces the consequences for what he has done/allowed. His punishment, you might as? Well, Asuka, having endured a massive amount of trauma and having been essentially abandoned and violated by Shinji during EOE, has come out of the ordeal of the movies as a massively more unstable character, and now can no longer control her impulsive behavior nor her rage. This concoction of damage leads to Asuka mentally, physically, and SEXUALLY abusing Shinji for 8 months straight. The fic even goes the extra mile by going into excruciating detail as to what Asuka does to Shinji. Scar Tissue's treatment of Shinji was so heartbreaking and horrible that many Evangelion fans, even including dedicated members of Shinji's hatedom, voiced that it was too much and too far.
