It's not even about legal or illegal..... it is a MORAL issue in my opinion. How can ANYONE make a call when looking at still pics whether it is real or not real unless as Rip says, there is a disclaimer on it that says exactly that it is fantasy?
I am sooo NOT a believer that watching violent movies makes one prone to violence either. I am raising 4 kids and they watch violence on TV, I don't censor alot of what they watch unless it is just downright filth. But be real folks, even the damn cartoons on Nick and Cartoon Network have violent scenes in them........ good grief!! If a person is prone to violence they are going to do it no matter what they see or hear anywhere. That's a well known fact as well. You CAN teach your kids that this is fake and they are just acting, but if you want to cut violence out of their lives then you must turn off the NEWS and the CARTOONS...... be real people. Rationalize it in YOUR heads so you may then rationalize it in theirs.
And I also believe that we do not get to choose what we fantasize about in all cases....... our thoughts are not always controllable, but how we REACT to those thoughts damn well are!!
I know I sound like I am contradicting myself on these points, but I am really not. It's all about how it is interpreted here...... if as Rip says, it is extreme fetish but he has a disclaimer that no one was hurt during the making of these pics...... then fine, knock yourself out. But let me hand you a bunch of poloroids of what APPEARS to you as rape or murder ........ are you going to ASSUME they are real or take for granted they are, or are you going to assume they are fakes? It's all in interpretation and how they are presented to you.
I won't post rape pics at ALL on my sites for the simple fact, I can't be the one to decide whether the pics YOU have sent me are real or not real........... see what I am saying? As a VICTIM of rape, had there been pics taken and they circulated, I would be horrified if I went to a site and seen someone was making money off my horror. Rape does alot of damage, as someone else said in another post here, and it is a horror that does NOT go away...... so I will not be promoting these types of pics in any way. Seeing what APPEARS to be rape pics to me brings back more than I even care to think about, much less bring into words, so it is a personal, a VERY personal issue on my part.
I hope I have cleared myself up on some level....... fantasies are fine......... but when you want me to decide whether ths is your fantasy or whether someone actually got hurt, well I just can't do that and sleep at night.
