Rape. Yes, the hip know what I mean. In internet memes, video games, porn, Japanese anime and comix, rape is as fashionable a fetish as, say, feet or diapers. Even referenced in advertising.
Why we have rape groups on Facebook these days. Not to fear. Nothing your children haven't seen on the net and talked about amongst themselves:)
Facebook groups dedicated to discussing rape fantasies are popping up all over the world's most popular social network, leading to new concerns over just what should be allowed on a site with nearly 800 million users. The most popular such group, "You know shes playing hard to get when your chasing her down an alley," already has more than 200,000 members, most of whom are adolescent or university-aged boys from the U.S., U.K., Canada, and Australia. Other groups, according to The Telegraph, include:• "Abducting, raping and violently murdering your friend as a joke";• "Pinning your mate down while someone HIV positive rapes him for a laugh";• "Police call it a restraining order, we call it playing hard to get";• "Turning into a chain smoking sexual predator when you drink".Hahahahahaha. All in fun I guess. IDK. You tell me. Ladies, you think it's cool?I'm not opposed to fetish fantasy and play that is consensual. Broadly speaking I believe everyone has a fetish or two:) I have more than two. But...the appearance of a growing body of rape porn plus the often brutal treatment of women, and men, in video games and some hip-hop gives me grave concern. Our children are learning to value violence, killing and rape using the devices we pay for.
