Pro-rape-porn people are defending people getting off on rape.

Last edited Sat Apr 19, 2014, 07:13 PM - Edit history (1)

I wonder if everyone defending this shit, and defending the shits who enjoy it, know what they're talking about.

They should all be required to watch it before jumping in to back up this shit. They should be forced to read what the men who enjoy it say about it. They should see what they're supporting.


On edit: I'm not talking about any recent defense of rape porn on DU. I was sadly reminded of how popular this shit is tonight and well that's what I get for not burying my head in the sand.

This is what I get for discussing that "artist" who told his oh-so-sexy and entertaining story of rape, who is being in defended in GD.

I was discussing it on another site and someone mentioned a blog and just... I just hope those that defend the right of OTHER PEOPLE to have this shit be legally accessible are educating themselves about what it is they're supporting. I hope they have the integrity to do that, at least, if they're going to back this shit up.

philosophy.

that is the biggest obstacle is the people that defend also have no interest in the shit and are ignorant what is happening. they find out and ... gasp... disgusted.

The ones who defend it on principle - I just hope they have the integrity to educate themselves about what exactly it is they're defending. That's it. Not the written description, but an actual awareness. Just like people who back wars should have to see the damage done.

And anyway, if a "fake" assault/torture scenario is done effectively enough, how would one know the difference?

I'll watch anything I want to have an opinion on. There's no defense for it.

They trot out the old "but women have rape fantasies" bullshit, like it means anything in a porn presentation with pain and blood and rape.

I went looking for that performance artist thread and I found BainsBain's post on the SLPC naming MRA's a hate group. I was not surprised at some of the responses-- like trying to compare MRA's to TERF's (also a despicable group, but there is no true point of comparison) and bringing up Solanas, but I have a question

If someone belongs to an MRA group, why is it they never admit it? Reading through that thread, Clearly there are members of such groups. Why and what are they hiding? Do you think they have a persecution complex?

They're just cowards.

MRAs are cowardly little men and FeMRAs are sad, pitiful handmaidens.
