(8,155 posts)Is how rape pornography plays into the social justification of sexual violence. In other words, how do these types of coercive fantasies and depictions present themselves in real injuries against subjugated sexual classes. The reason why this specific discussion is so important to the OP is that the argument that sex trafficking exists in pornography is an argument against sex trafficking in pornography and not necessarily an argument against depicted sexual violence. However, if one can argue that depicted sexual violence is substantively injurious against the sexually subjugated, then there is a very strong case directly against rape pornography.
My belief here is that rape fantasy and pornography is both vast in its social and personal damage as well as instrumentally part of a greater mechanism of sexual hatred and self-loathing. It is not healthy in any capacity.
