I think this is an interesting topic. Perhaps part of it is the question of, how real do you want your fantasy to be? Let me try to re-frame that in terms of the videoed violence people enjoy consuming.
Most of us like to go to the movies and watch simulated violence in one for or another, but only a select few will seek out that small corner of LiveLeak where videos of real people actually killing other real people can be viewed. As a member of this site most of us have long since moved past the proverbial violence of a "kid friendly" superhero blockbuster where cartoonishly costumed characters pummeling the crap out of each other – even past significantly bloodier carnage depicted in an r-rated action flick a-la John Wick. I would say that on the violence continuum that runs from Superheros through action films and slasher movies and then onto videos of real world violence such as LivePD and WorldStarHipHop ending with the worst thing you can dig up on LiveLeak, most of the stories here cluster around slasher/LivePD neighborhood.
Though, there are instances that span the gamut: Think of
skuttrusk's comical depiction of
Carrie's Big Day on the one hand and compare it to
Brokenwing's haunting narrative in
"Do you dream of little girls?" on the other. Now consider the fact that there are a plethora of stories depicting women and girls being kidnapped and kept as sex slaves on this very site, while a search of asstr.org (the largest collection of sex stories on the net) for the string "Ariel Castro" (the real life mastermind behind the Cleveland house of horrors) returned not a single, solitary result.
Personally I'm all for whatever gets you off and find myself in complete agreement with dawnamber:
On a site that caters to rape, I find it almost comical to think we need to be politically correct in choosing our rape victims . . . I do not judge others for their kinks or lifestyle . . . If you don't like it, don't read it.
However, I also think that it is an unfortunate and inescapable fact that human beings have a FAR harder time withholding judgement than they like to profess. Which is to say, as a community, the students, faculty and alumni of ravishu are able to get along as harmoniously as we do because we are simply more in tune with each other – as opposed to our being radically more enlightened than everyone else. It is for this reason that I love these two quotes from SoftGameHunter:
I think that if we think about it, our own fetish community has its set of PC standards.
Rapist: "Take it all, you filthy fuck-hole bitch! You fucking cunt-faced slag whore ni..."
Girl: "Careful, whitey, I only go so far!"
So, how real do you like your rape? Do you ever get turned on by reading news stories of sexual assault and rape? Or does even considering that question make you morally nauseous?
