So, Curry Barker directed Obsession, his debut horror movie, and was offered 2 million dollars to make Bear fix things and get a happy ending. He refused because he understood that it would downplay rapists. If he can understand thay, so can HD Carlton.
Hey bestie. There’s a difference between fiction and reality. Men who don’t want to rape women will not suddenly want to bc of a movie, and women who enjoyed HA for kink reasons also don’t deserve to be told they want to be raped. This isn’t a good take.

We’ve had this conversation before. They are two different genres. But also, there IS plenty of horror that romanticizes murder. And no one is calling that out to be banned and shut down. You are fighting a fight that both leads further into censorship, and also absolved rapists of responsibility and consequence. “Fiction made him do it.” So which book made me ex r*pe me? Do you understand how horrific the argument you’re making is?

Plus, the obsession changes had almost everything to do with test audiences. There are interviews with director and actor confirming this. People didn’t like him living, but that was the original plan. This was a smart marketing change. Don’t act like it’s some moral revelation to prove a point, especially when they are completely different genres.

So you haven’t read much in the horror genre at all huh. Or don’t realize that violent p*rn exists already and that it isn’t responsible for men’s actions. Awesome.

Your friend’s boyfriend made an excuse for wanting to harm your friend. You are excusing his actions by blaming fiction. Men get shorter sentences for rape because of excuses all the time and you’re giving them another one. Like that is so beyond fcked up. A man raped your friend, not a fucking MOVIE.

You still haven’t told me which book or movie made my ex assault me. If it wasn’t 50 shades, it must have been something else, right? Or maybe he was just a piece of shit like almost every other predator.

You cant murder in self defense. You are at least correct that rape is not comparable to murder. At least a rape victim can learn to live trust and love again.
