Bondage Is Bad: In so far that Richard is very into it, and he's also a depraved serial rapist and likely a murderer.

Rape and Switch
 Yes, Daddy / int_31bace22
comment
Rape and Switch: Jonah's deeply Christian family believes that the only way he would've "turned" out gay if he was molested by another man. They subject him to conversion therapy until he (falsely) accuses his father under a great deal of pressure and hypnotism.

Implied Rape
 Yes, Daddy / int_4f362a27
comment
Implied Rape: It's explicitly confirmed that Richard and his friends rape and molest guys. However, it's implied that The Chain of Harm might have begun with Richard's mother, Patricia, who may have molested him, since he told Jonah that his play about Parental Incest was autobiographical, and she is infuriated by it.

Bunker Woman
 Yes, Daddy / int_90c30080
comment
Bunker Woman: A Rare Male Example. Jonah is trapped in Richard's remote "compound" in rural New York, drugged, plied with alcohol, and repeatedly raped, his cell phone broken when Rashad tries to reach him so that he has no way out. And then a twist reveals that rather, it's several. It's revealed that the handsome young men who look after Richard's house (and those of his friends) are "exes" of which Richard tired and forced them into essentially indentured servitude to "repay" their debts, which he had initially played off as gifts and rewards. They also all sleep in a shed where they're repeatedly raped and sexually abused.

Shout-Out
 Yes, Daddy / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: Richard calls Evan "Mrs Danvers" and "Mrs DeWinter", while Evan refers to burning the house down. It's also Fauxshadowing because while Mrs Danvers was heavily implied to be a lesbian spinster, Evan is not there by choice, and actually tries to help Jonah - which results in his likely death.

comment
Hoist by His Own Petard: Jonah's parents think they're helping him when they send him to conversion therapy (as they believe being gay is a mortal sin). When it "fails", they subject him to hypnotism and more "therapy" until he falsely accuses his father of molesting him, as he had no physically intimate memories to use except that.
