You haven't even bothered looking. That study looks at crime data. It doesn't undertake a psychological analysis of the actual impact on individuals. That you say no such studies exist is absurd. I seriously doubt you can even search an academic database. You found one article. I've read some of the studies establishing a connection myself. That you haven't read them means nothing.

It's amazing how people go on and on about how Fox news poisons Americans but completely deny that watching violent pornography impacts someone's psyche. The idea is preposterous and clearly an attempt to justify their own sexual desires at the expense of rape victims harmed by the proliferation of rape culture.

The difference between alcohol and rape porn is that no one who doesn't get off on rape watches rape porn in the first place. If someone watches that stuff, it is clear they find rape erotic. The porn desensitizes them to the violence, breaks down their inhibitions, and makes it more likely for them to offend. Justifying rape porn contributes to normalizing rape. Men think it is their right to watch victims, simulated or real. raped and tortured. The rights of the victims are meaningless. Defenders of rape porn don't show the slightest concern for women here who are survivors of rape. What matters is your sexual arousal, and for some reason you feel compelled to turn that into some sort of political statement: the rape porn consumers' rights first; the rape victims rights' non-existent. I was told I didn't even have a right to speak on the issue, to pass judgment. Liberals could pass judgment, but I could not. I had to shut up. They could not be clear about the low regard in which they hold my rights.

20-25% of Women are raped, and these threads actively justifying rape culture show exactly why. Only 4% of rapists are convicted and even then some never see jail time. The one benefit is that these threads have exposed exactly what people are and showed me I want nothing to do with them ever. Their entire argument is based on a complete disregard for women's lives, which is hardly surprising from those whose idea of excitement is watching women in terror, raped, and mutilated. That by definition is someone with a deep hatred of women.

I did not know there were so many men who hated women. These threads have informative in that regard, but I have read more than enough. I've had enough violence in my life. I have no intention of interacting with men who find rape erotic, who see a report of Indian gang rape and think: "hey that's hot, let me find some porn on that" (as I found on Google today). So I am giving notice to anyone here reading these threads and justifying rape porn to leave me the alone. I do not consent to contact of any kind, including responses on these message boards, with any of them ever again.
