i know what you mean. i had a friend who - get this - WANTED to be molested as a kid.

now hes gone a little... well... coo coo.

while your not entirely wrong, most people can separate fantasy from reality. You could try to say the same thing about shooters, just cause someone plays a lot of them doesnt mean they are gonna go shoot someone.

I have to agree here. having a fantasy and knowing reality are two completely separate things. people can in fact distinguish between the two

I don't give a F what kind of fetishes people have as long as they don't act them out if they're illegal.

So, by that same logic, if someone's into vore or gore, they would like to be eaten and hurt/killed in real life as well?

I beg to differ, kinks are private and have nothing to do with the person itself in the real world, unless the person itself wants it, which is usually really rare.

If a person wants it, that makes it not-rape right? Since rape is non-consensual.

Rape is about one wanting, the rapist, and the other who doesn't, the raped. Up there I was talking about rapists only, that is. Someone can be into forcing others in the fandom, which happen fairly often, and that doesnt mean all those dudes would do it in real life, in fact, 99% wouldnt even think about it, just like most kinks in our fandom.

I'm not ok with rape irl at all, it's disgusting. In the fandom, I don't give a damn of a random fox humps roughly a bugs bunny or whatever, as long as he's not a rapist in real life, he can do as he pleases.

Questioning your thought processes about a subject doesn't equal defense of that subject. If your journal header was meant to be an insight to those thought processes, then thanks for the warning.

As I have faced such things in my life and my youngest brother, I actually consider it a high crime that should be taken seriously and punished with extreme harsh penalties. Sadly it is not taken very seriously by many, both in and outside law enforcement. Coming from a guy in a seriously dedicated family to law enforcement that might be surprising with the previous sentence, but it's true. IRL rape is a crime, it should be stopped, it should be punished.

Of course fantasy and imaginary things are a completely different matter... especially when it's revolved around a group merely trying to make a detailed storyline for their characters and world...
