Having Friends

I feel like it's just me but I feel as if trauma in characters have slowly gotten a little.. Too far? I mean, I understand rape and sexual assault is a serious topic to speak about and should be made aware of.. But I feel as if every character these days have been either been sexually assaulted or was touched as a kid. I know this is such a non issue but I feel like a lot of people are downplaying the seriousness of the topic sometimes and just add it because they couldn't think of a good way to develop their character
