Liberals and violent porn and rape simulation

188. What people don't understand

Is that it's about sexual repression as well as misogyny. The sexually repressed haven't had the--call them epiphanies--it takes for true sexual imagination. And so are sell outs to whatever flavor of corporate imagery affects them-- for whatever individual reasons. Unfortunately they tend to think the opposite is true, that they have control of their sexual imagination, that they are not corporate tools.
Pornography is the sexual equivalent of shopping at Wall-mart.

Occasionally it can hit erotic high notes but it's rare. Pornography leeches out the truly erotic, leaving a need for violent or strange acts to replace it.

Rape porn is a side effect of male sexual entitlement and is very heterosexist. It doesn't matter If it's Gay porn. When that argument is brought up it's conveniently forgotten that the largest purchasers of lesbian porn--of whatever variety--are straight white men. Or that rape itself is a predominantly male crime, that male victims of rape still in our society are barely acknowledged, unless they are children.

It's also reflective of the increasing need in some to purge sexual guilt via increasingly bizarre kink, a way of enjoying "dirty" sex, because the viewer needs or wants that stimulation, looks at sex as something shameful and are generally too lazy to actually take responsibility for their own sexuality.

It's dishonest and contributes to rape culture by legitimizing rape. For those who argue it's harmless fantasy, I find that even more dishonest as well as disingenuous.
