Mmkay, not seeing the friend dying analogy, really. And what I meant by it's normal you can't help it, is most people can't help what they are attracted to. They simply are. There's a person in the secrets above who has a Nazi fetish; some people have a rape kink. They can't help being attracted to it (they might not even want to 'help' it), it's what they find sexy. I never meant to imply that it's wrong, or shameful - didn't mean it to be condescending. A lot of people when talking about their rape kink say, "It's what I find arousing, I can't help it", which is what I took it from. I don't mean to be condescending to anyone.

I find that the pervasiveness of violence of any kind - sexual, verbal, physical - in today's media gives me pause. Does that mean I'm pushing for censoring laws? Hell to the no. I'm part of that culture too. I watch NCIS, I cheer when they give the smackdown on the bad guy, I'm happy in Law and Order when someone gets told, etc, etc. I read books where the main character dies, is put through hell, suffers and doles out violence. But yeah, when I take a step back, look at media as a whole, look at how much there is, how popular rape fiction, for example is (something I don't find appealing myself, but I'm not the censor police, it's not like I want it all SHUT DOWN AND SCRUBBED OFF DA INTERWEBS) and when I really look at it all on a macro level, well then yeah, I get worried. "is this healthy for society? What kind of ramifications, if any, does this have on real life?" I ask myself these questions. And yeah, some of the answers I find concern me. But does that mean I think "rape fiction makes men rape women and it excuses men from being rapists" (like I've been accused of before)? Absolutely. Not.
