Anteaterking 10/10/18 10:58:05 AM #103:	SubtletyRefuge posted... Is this supposed to be a good thing? So basically you're justifying gratuitous and indulgent violence and torture because you're saying society is used to it but rape can't get the same standards because society considers sex more abhorrent than violence. But there are a lot of people, I might say, even the majority who are able to look past rape in media as this specific special type of unshowable evil and just view it in the same lens that society does to murder in media. However, then we get hypocrites like Cyric (and maybe you?) who contribute to casually dismissing glorifying killing and murder in media but get all up in arms over rape. I don't like slasher films, so you're not going to have success painting me as a hypocrite. Also, I think you're sidetracking the conversation. I'm just stating that this is how society feels about things, not how society SHOULD feel about things. You had claimed that you didn't think people would care if Jason raped instead of killing and I think that's wrong. There's also the issue of "rape as characterization" tends to be weak characterization for both the victim and the perpetrator, and "rape as plot advancer" is not nearly as useful as "death as plot advancer". --- http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b136/Anteaterking/scan00021.jpg http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b136/Anteaterking/scan00021.jpg <cite>Anteaterking posted [p:910286826] in new anime ...
