The difference is defenders of rape porn want to ignore the circumstances under which its made. They want to ignore the fact that a good portion of those women in extreme porn are enslaved. They pretend it's all consensual, when they don't know that is the case. Pornographers claim the rape and violence is real. That is how they advertise it. They do so because that is what their viewers want to believe.
Also academic studies show viewers who watch rape porn have a greater propensity to commit actual rape. They refuse to address that issue, aside from one addled attempt to link demographic changes in crime to BDSM, which isn't even the topic here.
Ignoring the actual rape that takes place in the production and dissemination of porn doesn't mean it doesn't happen. Willfully ignoring those points after repeatedly having them pointed out, and being directed to sources they can't bother to look at, shows a willful disregard for human beings and women in particular.
