[QUOTE=soccerskyman;50507923]It's not aimed at you, you narcissist, it's aimed at potential rapists. Rapists aren't sane rational people, they might needd a push in the right direction.[/QUOTE]So these people who are, according to you, insane and irrational are going to see a notification about seeking mental health and immediately hop to their feet and go, "oh wow I was wrong all along!!!"
Yeah I don't think that's the fucking case, especially since actual rapists are criminals who [I]probably[/I] are going to go out and get the real thing. Meanwhile fetishists have to find a compatible partner and work into it, hence the porn.
[QUOTE]I am someone who is quite on the submissive side. I like this stuff, I just like to keep people safe. I'm not trying to act like you're all degenerates.[/QUOTE]Except you're doing the "teach men not to rape" thing and then expecting the group of non-rapist men to not be offended by your very pointed and insensitive comment. Nobody needs to be kept safe, we have safewords and contracts with rules to keep people safe.
[editline]adding this for clarity[/editline]
If you wanted to start out talking about safety maybe the condescending "lmao you guys are such babies xD" tone wasn't a good thing to open up with. That set the mood for the argument, and sure, I've fallen victim to that myself so I do know how that can affect the discussion. I'm probably doing it right now, wauterboi has said several times that I come off as "mean" and "aggressive" when in actuality I'm feeling just incredulous toward you at the moment.
[QUOTE=soccerskyman;50507934]I mean, it is fucked up. I'm not gonna pretend my fetish isn't based on something that is fucked up. I'm not appreciating them trying to stop people from "enjoying the fetish" but from attempting to stop rapists, as misguided it was. Sorry for the confusion.[/QUOTE]
But is it fucked up?
I really enjoy DOOM, and that's a non-stop gorefest. It's explosions of guts and blood. Is that "fucked up" enjoyment? I wouldn't think so. It would be fucked up if I started watching videos of people being murdered, but that's different. It would also be fucked up if I was misusing the material and plotting out creating real gore myself, but that's different.
When you say the fetish itself is messed up, you're addressing all the people that have it as being messed up.
[QUOTE=JumpinJackFlash;50507925]I'm willing to bet that you're just talking shit again, being sexually repressed doesn't mean anything other than you don't know a lot about sex. Sure that can be [I]tragic[/I] but let's not pretend that it's a fucking precursor to being a rapist, that's ridiculous.
Actual rape is vastly different than fantasy, and your repeated insistence on "advocating awareness that porn isn't the same as real life" is extremely insulting. No, I don't go around locking spreader bars around people's ankles and forcing them into fursuits, I am well aware that this behavior is not at all acceptable in real life and so is everyone else.[/QUOTE]
I know actual rape is different from fantasy; being the victim of it and all. And again, it's not directed at you. Like it or not and regardless of what you are, rapists AND potential rapists watch rape porn, and if you can get a message to them to try to prevent it, then why the fuck not?

Rapists aren't deterred by the cries of their victims. Why would they be deterred by a warning message on xhamster?

because real rapists aren't going to be dissuaded by some text they scroll past where as you're just going to make normal people pissed off that they're being told they're abnormal and all sorts of shit
they don't need to be ostracized for a fetish to protect people from rapists who won't care about your preventative methods

You're assuming that rapists are all sexually healthy and content with themselves, which is completely false. If they feel like shit they could want help.

Holy fuck you're dense. Of course most men aren't rapists, and nobody is assuming that you are from watching fictional rape porn. That still doesn't change the fact there ARE rapists and they watch rape porn.

It reminds me of those police cars that have "remember, domestic violence is illegal" on the side of the car. Are people going to read that and suddenly say, "Well, I guess this means I'll stop hitting my wife"?

You're trying to assert that rape porn caters to rapists too, which means you're talking about the proactive rapist who seeks out prey. That's an inherently violent act, that's why [I]sexual violence[/I] conjures up images of a man in a parking lot forcing himself on a woman. We're not jumping to violence here, we're meeting it, and I think that's going to do a hell of a lot more than some smug, hypocritical bullshit pulled by a porn site.
[QUOTE]"It's futile to try to help mentally ill people with a short text box, so therefor it's badd" is literally your argument right now[/QUOTE]It's futile because a violent rapist who is actually raping people is already breaking the law and committing a crime that's abhorrent to civilized society, a text box isn't going to do shit.

wouldn't people who genuinely get off on the idea of raping someone in real life want to watch a bit harder stuff?
if you follow that logic, i don't see how you could ever think shaming casual porn site users is okay.

This was never about protecting sexual assault victims but instead about chasing after people with a fetish, you were clear about that in your first post:[QUOTE=soccerskyman;50507483]Rape fetishism is pretty fucked up. It legitimizes people as sexual prey, and it can definitely affect someones view of sex. While I think the shaming and censorship is unnecessary, I really appreciate the attempt to break the cycle. I would prefer like a warning about how it can be detrimental to your sexual health, and maybe a link to professional care if people feel they need help.

Moving on:
[QUOTE=soccerskyman;50508208]I mean, if rape fetishism is the literal fantasizing of rape.[/QUOTE]Just to reiterate: it isn't fantasizing about rape. It's right up there with cuckoldry and big, stretchy chunks of the latex fetish; it's about [I]power[/I] and often in the context of a relationship.

[QUOTE]It itself, if left without proper mental health and sexual education, would perpetuate rape.[/QUOTE]Yeah this just makes me think of sexual reeducation camps in general where they do electroshock therapy and praying the gay away.

[editline]13th June 2016[/editline]
This is why people can't live happy without worrying that they're going to be "outed" and ostracized for simply doing something that they enjoy. Arguing that "oh well deal with it if your offended xD who cares about these people anyway???" is the kind of sentiment that pushes us back socially, it's what allowed LGBT persecution well into the 90's and persists today. This is activity between consenting adults, the porn is for consenting adults, it's all geared toward fetishes between consenting adults; nobody needs "sexual education" that's a thinly veiled sneer against their sexual preferences.

Most people have sexual education by the time they're viewing porn and you can't assume everyone has poor mental health.
It might seem reasonable to you but I'll just let you know it's not.
