Depiction of rape and pedophilia = condonement. It contributes to an overriding culture that says it's okay. People who get off on that stuff are disgusting and should be put into prison.

Sorry, I think you're a troll. Putting people into prison for reading certain kinds of fiction is a thousand times worse than producing narratives of any degree of repulsing.

Typical F!S, anyone who has an "extreme" opinion is a troll. I think you're the troll, for wasting my time on what could have been a fruitful debate.

Well, you're partly right, normally I don't like the tendency to call everyone who disagrees with f!sers "a troll". This is frustrating.

In this case, however, I see a person whose statements are harsh, promote the ultimate form of Thought Police-like systems (not even simply "put everyone who writes/reads rape and paedophilia into prison", but "put everyone who gets off to this into prison"), who states that there's an "overriding culture that says that [rape and paedophilia] are okay", and who displays poor understanding of the way fiction works.

True, you may not be a troll, but do you really want to argue with me in a reasonable and level-headed way? Hypothetically I wouldn't even mind. One of the difficulties, however, is that we appear to have very different moral grounds, and, since morality is a highly subjective and often irrational thing, I am unsure if we would be able to find a point from which we could start the discussion.

Your morality is "it's okay to get off to rape and pedophilia if it's fiction. If you disagree, it's because you don't understand fiction."

And you cry "Thought Police!" and deny the existence of rape culture. Damn, you're good, you got me there.

No, that's not what I am saying. In fact, my previous comment did not mention the exact aspect of my position I was referring to, but my point is that depicting rape=/=codonement, and yes, I think that you understand the mechanics of literature poorly if you disagree with this.

It would've been slightly more valid if you said "sympathetic depiction of rape=codonement", and even in this case... well, all right, we could argue about this case, if you want.

I did not deny the existence of rape culture, I simply doubt that it's overriding.

And there's a big difference between proposing to put people into prison for reading things and thinking that somebody understands something the wrong way. Seriously, are you comparing the situations?

Depends on the depiction.

Is it portrayed as a valid form of love and caring? Or is it portrayed as something terrible that damages the victim?

If people could not explore the topic in fiction, that would be a denial of rape culture, in that it would be silencing a form of speaking out about the subject. Please be a little less general in your statements of what equals condoning rape and pedophilia.

Well, then off to the death row with all those sick fucks who watch movies like Saw and Hostel - clearly, they are all potential torturers and serial killers or condone the actions of those who are. All them hundreds of thousands of'em!
