MODERATORS
I don't like collective shout overall, they are anti-porn and most likely religious and anti-LGBT. But some of their criticism is correct, like glorified SA and pedo content is inexcusable. Also nothing they have done warrants a rape threat (I mean just going by vibes I don't think anyone, in general, deserves rape threats) and it is concerning that presumably men are making these threats to these women.
I've seen rape/pedo content in tv shows, movies, books, games, and anime. For SA in anime, it's used as the victim (usually a she) really wanted it or is a joke. The victim is seen as submissive to the perpetrator. Also dubcon, "dark romance" is popular in otome genres for some reason. I mean that's the last thing I want when enjoying romance content, is for the person the protagonist likes to assault her. For pedo stuff in anime, always a running gag or just not really addressed.
I have trouble convincing the lib men I know IRL that rape culture is real and needs to be addressed. Of course I had to go over consent because apparently not everyone is on the same page about that even. Ugh. Thanks for listening :)
Yeah, I'm not condoning the r*pe threats, obviously those are bad, but I am pretty sure that they are made by a minority of people and we can't let CS conflate the overwhelmingly valid criticism they receive for the repugnant shit they do with what some shitty splinter contingent says to them, or act like their overall reception has victimized them when they are much more interested in victimizing others.
I'm completely on the same page with you on the rest of it. Thanks again for sharing :)
