my point. we have our reasons. always our reasons to rape our girls. be it shock value for the good, entertainment, to sell something, for men to get off on.

you want to compartmentalize it with intent. something unseen, in a very visual experience.

in the visual of it, there is no difference.

hence me saying it is not porn. cause of intent. but visually, this is it.

so when i watched it, i immediately thought of our guys back in nov saying how this got them off.

my bad? i cannot unsee what i read.

i expressed, that watching that video took me back to our guys, applauding their rape porn. cause it is only a simulation. cause it is only a fantasy.

which took me to having to use an object up a girl regardless of intent. and how far we have come as a society. and what does it say about us.... to make people FEEL, we have to shove an object up a girl.
