That’s a really convenient way of turning things around to make me sound like a monster for something that I didn’t say.
I never mentioned non-consensual material. In fact, depictions of non-consensual scenes are often used to demonstrate the monstrosity of it. Maya Angelou discusses non-consensual experiences, to call attention to the heinousness.
That’s a red herring though, because I didn’t ask “should non-consensual media be banned?” I asked “Should media that depicts women as gratuitous sex objects be banned?” That type of media wouldn’t bother depicting non-consensual scenes, because the author can easily write consent into it any way he wants. People would be complaining about the sexualized depictions of women.
They even have terms for it. “Written for the male gaze,” “Jezebel,” etc. But how is banning that sort of content any different from banning 50 Shades of Grey or smutty literotica in general?
Sex isn’t bad, lack of consent is bad.
