‘Rape porn’ possession to be punished by three years in jail, David Cameron to announce

11. Disturbing in this thread how many at once thinks about fictional images of rape

rather than the very real images of rape that have been published, and in many cases have driven the victims to commit suicide, because the pictures are out there, among their peers, and they cannot escape them. Laugh it up with Game of Thrones and "horror porn" rather than acknowledge that many rapes these days are filmed and photographed, and then published on the internet. Even if the rapist is put on trial, the victim is very often hounded by rape supporters with the very pictures that prove her rape.

The normalization of sexual violence is very disturbing, and something that should be fought. These images aren't produced in a vacuum - they're produced in societies where 1 out of every 6 women are sexually assaulted, where a disturbing number of college students are raped or attempted raped, where young men have an increasing access to porn and to more and more extreme porn, porn that has a huge impact on what they consider normal.
