It has not gone unnoticed (re: porn)

67. Horrid to some. Normal to others.

As we've seen in the threads, there's a wide range of what some feel is normal or horrid. I'm by no means saying rape simulated porn is right or normal. But we've seen that said about anything from spanking to hair pulling.

Sometimes the more things are on display, the more normalized they get. The more people talk about it and things change. For better and worse. Go back 30 years and watch talk shows and you'll see few people talking about abuse they suffered from family members, medical/psychological issues and so forth. I've had my elderly mother tell me that people shouldn't go on these shows and talk about how their parent raped them for example. But I've said that it's good that they do because they get it out there and other people who have gone through similar experiences find that they're not alone.

Some kid growing up discovers that he likes certain kinks, feels alone, but discovers through various communities and porn that it is normal and that they're not alone. That's a good thing.
