bzarcherI do believe I am honestly torn by this.
On the one hand, I do not like that stuff. Things like rape and the other cute ways to dress up descriptions of violently assaulting someone on a physical and emotional level will pretty much push me right into the anger zone. I don't really like the idea of what the product involves, but I'll admit that there's a million new fetishes every day in the naked city, and some actors pretending to do that sort of thing is far better than someone being attacked for real.
And, more importantly, this is one of those areas where a government is trying to outlaw material based on a REALLY wide category, but without describing the nature of what they intend to prohibit.
They're also forgetting the fact that A) Not everyone who likes violent movies (sexual or not) is a serial killer, and that B) All these products involve consenting adults from the performance to the purchase, and in no way should be connected to the actual crimes being commited by sick individuals who probably needed to be in psychiatric or medical care for far more reasons than their tastes at the porn shop.
I may loathe what they're selling, but so long as these people are trying to get their thing out in a safe and controlled environment, and then sell the product so that people with the same needs get their thing out in a safe and controlled environment, I think they've a right to sell it, no matter how much I hate it, when all is said and done.
