Some of the rape porn subreddits are genuinely horrifying
So apparently there's a meme circulating in some conservative subs that complains about the double-standard (from their point of view) of Reddit removing right-wing rhetoric but leaving up NSFW rape fantasy subs. To prove the point, the meme lists out around 20 or so of the more prominent rape subs. Out of morbid curiosity, I checked some of them out and now I legitimately feel sick.
I'm not trying to kink shame, and I understand that rape fantasies are actually fairly common among all genders, but some of these subs feel like they go way above and beyond that. We're talking grotesque art of sexual murder-torture and dismemberment/vivisection of women, fetishizing women's eyes going "dead" after they're raped and abused, slave auctions for women chattel sex slaves, and literally dozens of subs that start with the word "degrade" that each cater to some extremely niche aspect of degrading women. There are so many that revolve around making women "obey", "putting her in her place", "renting her out", or "breaking"/"wrecking" her.
Again, I want to emphasize that there's nothing wrong with liking rough and/or degrading sex so as long as it's consensual. But there's a prominent undercurrent of nastiness, violence, contempt, and ugly hatred in these 99% men subs that just makes my skin crawl. Even if most of them are just normal dudes who would never engage in that behavior in real life, I just can't shake the feeling that some of them really mean it, and that scares the shit out of me.
(Especially the fucking murder-torture art one. What the actual fuck.)
