So, lemme just lay this out there: personally, I think the whole concept is messed up. Like, *really* messed up. The fact that it exists at all is kinda disturbing, right? But legal? That’s where things get slippery.
From what I’ve gathered from these random snippets (and honestly, I feel like I need a shower after reading them), the BBFC (that’s the British Board of Film Classification, for those playing at home) seems to be saying that if it’s *clearly* fake, like, cartoonishly fake, then it *might* be okay. Hentai gets a pass, apparently, and this kinda falls under that umbrella? I dunno, sounds like a really thin line to me.
Then you’ve got these sites pushing “CNC” or “Consensual Non-Consent.” Which, let’s be real, is just a fancy way of saying “we’re pretending it’s rape, but everyone’s supposedly on board.” I mean, come on, is that really making it better? It still feels icky. And who’s making sure everyone *really* is consenting? That’s a whole can of worms I don’t even want to open.
And then there’s the fact that just searching for this stuff online can land you on some seriously dodgy sites. “Deep Gore Tube”? “Explicit rape videos”? Yikes. Sounds like a recipe for getting your computer (or yourself) infected with something nasty. Be careful out there, people!
Plus, like, what’s the appeal? I honestly don’t get it. Some dude on Reddit says he can only get off to it…okay, dude, you do you, I guess. But it makes me wonder about the psychological impact of watching this kinda stuff. Does it desensitize people to real violence? Does it blur the lines between fantasy and reality? I’m no expert, but it feels like there’s some potential for harm there.
Look, I’m not here to tell anyone what they can or can’t watch. Freedom of speech and all that. But seriously, think about what you’re consuming, and where you’re getting it from. And maybe, just maybe, consider finding something a little less…problematic? There’s a whole internet out there, filled with things that *aren’t* based on the idea of sexual assault. Just sayin’.
