"Furthermores it's a pretty well known fact that there are women who are aroused by fantasies of rape. Yes, that is in a sense an oxymoron, since fantasies are one sided and thus always consensual."
which is the same point as:
"When someone has a fantasy, it's not rape. Rape means the absence of consent. If the woman fantasizes, it means she is consenting in her fantasies at least. That is not rape. Rape is defined by the absence of consent: not the type of sex, not if its rough or tender, not BDSM, but the absence of consent."
I will admit though that I assumed any video being discussed has a disclaimer that all participants are willing actors and that no one is actually being harmed.
I thus assumed that your point was the equivalent of trying to ban violent scenes because they show no sympathy for actual victims of assault or murder, while you are in fact discussing more an equivalent to "snuff films," which are understandably illegal.
Any actual rape whether video taped or not is disgusting, wrong and a trillion other negative adjectives which cannot possibly do justice to the horror of the act. Correspondingly, anyone who needs to believe the scene they are witnessing is real in order to get off is despicable to say the least.
Any moron can search rape porn, but I'm still not going to because it seems gross to me. Peace.
