I wonder what percentage of them said “yes” because it’s pornography and they’re aroused despite or regardless of the nonconsent aspect

this question doesn't feel applicable if you're consuming it and identifying as/with the non-consented-upon

This is why I really appreciate the consent verification at the beginning and end of some BDSM porn videos. It allows the fantasy of nonconsent and puts it in ethical context

I wonder why the answers are so different when regarding porn, as opposed to the answers about violent games. Fictional settings, including sexual, cannot have any bearing on reality. If we believe it can, it strips us of our own agency

thats actually pretty cool

Those who claim that porn incites rape are mistaken.

Hey, as a sexual assault survivor can we maybe start putting content warnings on these? I don't even follow you and they're showing up on my feed.

Technically I am but only under very unrealistic conditions like mindcontrol erotica, and it's important to me that the person in the story be enjoying it in spite of what's happening. I find the idea of raping someone horrific and it's had no impact on that.

Yeah quite possibly, less so obviously violent stuff but more like girl gets drunk/guy “scores” maybe?
