I mean here

think of it this way

Steven crowder change my mind

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

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

the aftermath is 100% more important

They show the victims as survivors instead of some sullied property

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

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

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

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

The context is what matters most

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

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

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

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

I mean the media is anti rape culture

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

Oh

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

I get what you mean though

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

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

Exactly

And not like just a thing that happened to them

my issue is when it's irrelevant to the character

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

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

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

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

Atleast the modern media

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

Yeah that's shitty writing

They do that for gay people too

I believe what Daniel is saying is true if theres no fundamental ground for the rape in a movie or show there’s no need for it at all does progress the story of not then not needed

that's what i mean by it being fetishistic

if it doesn't add anything to the character or the story, it shouldn't be there

Make it their whole personality which makes it feel like people are pushing the gay agenda

That applies to everything

yes absolutely
