(Anonymous) 2014-06-15 09:16 pm (UTC)(link)It completely alarms me but I feel I can't say anything about it directly to the people enjoying it. I see it suddenly it in the middle of all a lot of other art especially, and everyone else seems to think it's hot. A good looking man with blood dripping on his face.
I don't get it at all, not my fetish. That's why I don't say anything directly about it to them.
Mainstream media does cater for this kink in that it's mostly men you see stripped and bloody in action films.
Statistically, men in real life are more often the subject of violence than women, so there's not even the argument that it's a balancing of reality, like the argument about fics/art where men get raped.
It's creepy, highly creepy. But so is a lot of stuff that I also back away from. I do find the fandom attitude to it mostly hypocritical. But go to a male-dominated fandom space and there's even worse there directed at women, and I find that creepy as well, but I think they're also entitled to their stress release.

(Anonymous) 2014-06-16 12:47 am (UTC)(link)In most cases, men are the ones doing the abusing (not that women don't also physically abuse others, but statistically I imagine it'd be hard to argue that it's anywhere on the same scale as men). So in a way, fetishizing men getting beaten and bloody is balancing reality.

(Anonymous) 2014-06-16 08:12 am (UTC)(link)67% of male rapists were raped/molested by women (not just in general, but by women). But it only became illegal (in some places) for women to rape men two years ago in the US, and since women aren't fairly tried they hardly ever get convicted and have much shorter sentences than men for the same crimes. Adding on top of that we have maybe one shelter for abused men . . .
Yeah men being beaten is a reality, but not a balancing one.
I love the "well, men beat more men than women beat men, so it their fault." Nice.

(Anonymous) 2014-06-16 08:52 am (UTC)(link)It's not about being their fault (I don't even know where you pulled that from or how you even interpreted that), just that women shlicking to men getting abused doesn't carry the same weight or caution as men jerking it to any kind of violence. Also source your statistics man.
