(57,757 posts)Yes, they began with the British law and what people thought about that. Of course even saying one doesn't have an issue with the British law is not saying it should be imposed here. But then the discussion took off in various directions. So the response to a poster saying he was uncomfortable with the degrading nature of porn he Googled (which judging by his OP was pretty tame in comparison to rape porn) he was attacked as "authoritarian" and "trolling" for expressing that view. The same attacks have been made against women who have argued that they see a link between rape and rape culture. That very concept is something most refuse to consider. I have been told they won't even read a word past my mention of rape culture. So there we have it. My interpretation of it all: "All we care about is our "freedom" (translation: what we want). Your concerns about rape and rape culture are irrelevant. All that matters is our desires. Shut the fuck up."
