How do you mean?

2020-02-02 12:15:30 UTC  

Wut

2020-02-02 12:15:35 UTC  

I believe they are trying to confront as many people as possible with the immediate disgusting heinous act of rape, just to bring home the point of how vile rape is and how we don't do enough to counteract rape in general culture

2020-02-02 12:15:41 UTC  

That's what I believe

2020-02-02 12:15:45 UTC  

I think the present agenda is to abolish rape culture worldwide

2020-02-02 12:15:50 UTC  

Exactly

2020-02-02 12:15:55 UTC  

not at all lol

2020-02-02 12:16:01 UTC  

How??

2020-02-02 12:16:03 UTC  

they don't focus on the negative effects of it half as much as using it as a story selling point

2020-02-02 12:16:04 UTC  

I mean here

2020-02-02 12:16:06 UTC  

think of it this way

2020-02-02 12:16:09 UTC  

Steven crowder change my mind

2020-02-02 12:16:19 UTC  

People.dont show the rape scenes anymore to respect the victims

2020-02-02 12:16:33 UTC  

They show the aftermath of such events instead of graphically showing it

2020-02-02 12:16:42 UTC  

the aftermath is 100% more important

2020-02-02 12:16:53 UTC  

They show the victims as survivors instead of some sullied property

2020-02-02 12:16:55 UTC  

it's very important they focus on the effects, but american writers?

2020-02-02 12:17:16 UTC  

Idk, in India, I see a welcome change to abolish rape culture

2020-02-02 12:17:21 UTC  

Rape scenes were never about victim respect, the biggest point of rape is taking away someone's self worth and destroying their emotional life

2020-02-02 12:17:22 UTC  

rape is just smacked in place of any old backstory and is rarely even relevant after the fact

2020-02-02 12:17:35 UTC  

The context is what matters most

2020-02-02 12:17:50 UTC  

well no shit rape isn't about respecting victims that's the opposite of rape

2020-02-02 12:17:55 UTC  

Like they have started respecting the sentiments of the victims instead of making it graphic

2020-02-02 12:17:56 UTC  

the point is you should never show rape in a movie for no reason

2020-02-02 12:18:06 UTC  

simply to have rape framed as "bad thing happened! wow!"

2020-02-02 12:18:15 UTC  

I mean the media is anti rape culture

2020-02-02 12:18:33 UTC  

we're sold the idea that it's anti rape culture here

2020-02-02 12:18:47 UTC  

Oh

2020-02-02 12:18:53 UTC  

but realistically we're being shown things that desensitize us to the idea of rape

2020-02-02 12:18:55 UTC  

I get what you mean though

2020-02-02 12:18:57 UTC  

Arguably there is no rape culture but the media is such a left-wing bulwark that it cowtows incessantly to any demands of the progressive post-modernists

2020-02-02 12:19:10 UTC  

Like they make it a fundamental point to a person's story

2020-02-02 12:19:13 UTC  

Exactly

2020-02-02 12:19:24 UTC  

And not like just a thing that happened to them

2020-02-02 12:19:28 UTC  

my issue is when it's irrelevant to the character

2020-02-02 12:19:29 UTC  

anti rape culture? what is it, rationality or something? :v

2020-02-02 12:19:59 UTC  

as in, they were too lazy to write a backstory of traumatic event so they just insert rape

2020-02-02 12:20:06 UTC  

No, here in India they're normalising being a Survivor or sexual assault or rape

2020-02-02 12:20:08 UTC  

then the character is never shown struggling with the after effects, or that's literally just it

2020-02-02 12:20:23 UTC  

Atleast the modern media

2020-02-02 12:20:41 UTC  

Anyway, I've spent enough of my time and attention pondering rape and its cultural position, I feel blemished by spending my attention on something that foul
