Exposing a global ‘online rape academy’ that is teaching men how to abuse women and evade detection
www.cnn.com
CNN exposes an online network of men encouraging each other to drug and assault their partners, and swap tips on how to get away with it.

There’s been a lot of misinformation around this article, but to clarify obviously the whole site is not rape content, but it exists on the site. The moderation team has no way of know what is and is not consensusal when it is posted on this site because they allow just about anything to be posted there.

    That’s some fucked up shit right there.

    Like, I don’t kink shame, but there’s a line. That line is where consent occurs, period. Someone that’s drugged can’t consent, and of equal importance, can’t withdraw consent. So there’s really no good way to explore that kink except by role play alone. Even that, you damn well don’t do it without a shit ton of check ins.

    But those shitstains? Like it or not, a partnership comes with a default assumption that you have each other’s backs. You don’t betray that, ever. Rape is bad enough. Drugging and raping your partner is stacking horror on horror in a way that makes me question my belief that the death penalty shouldn’t exist. Some things are just so vile that anyone doing them can not be trusted to be anything other than vile in all ways.

      makes me question my belief that the death penalty shouldn’t exist

      Don’t know if you’re interested in my perspective but here it is anyway. Some people shouldn’t ever be allowed to live in society again (Bundy, GSK, BTK) and the death penalty can be the most efficient and effective method of ensuring the they never do. In an ideal world where there is perfect justice the death penalty can be justified. We don’t live in an ideal world. In practice governments execute a lot of innocent people. Governments also allow the death penalty to creep (if you can execute serial killers and mass murders then why not someone who’s only killed one person, then why not people who tried but failed to kill someone, then chronic violent offenders, then chronic non violent offenders…) Governments don’t apply the death penalty evenly or fairly, in particular race and socioeconomic status play a significant role in sentencing decisions. Governments view it as punishment which allows them to justify inhumane execution methods to themselves.

      So, in my view, the death penalty can be morally justified but should never exist because governments can’t be trusted with it.

        I’m right with you.

        My objection is the same. It isn’t so much that it’s never the right answer, it’s making sure it only gets applied in those cases, and making sure there’s no way possible that the verdict could have been wrong in the first plans

        Of course, the reason most governments can’t be trusted with handling rapists is because they are Capitalist governments, who are of course run by rapists, and then war-profiteers, slave-owners, fascists, and their ilk. In my opinion, tho there is harm reduction to be done as well, the solution is to take after Lenin and Mao and make an organization similar to theirs.

        Instances of sexual harassment and violence against women have increased sharply. In Russia, the num­ber of women murdered annually–primarily by husbands and boyfriends–skyrocketed from 5,300 to 15,000 in the first three years of the free-market paradise [used sarcastically]. In 1994, an additional 57,000 women were seriously injured in such assaults. These official figures under­state the level of violence. The Communist party committees that used to intervene in cases of domestic abuse no longer exist.

        Women also are being recruited in unprecedented numbers for the booming sex industry that caters to foreign and domestic busi­nessmen. Unable to find employment in the professions for which they originally were trained, many highly educated Russian and Eastern European women go abroad to work as prostitutes.

          Actually, considering this quote, a lot is starting to add up with seemingly random countries. Poland was indeed the countries mentioned in Parenti’s book that, as he reported, had skyrocketing CSAM trading as well as sex crimes in general. Then, the first country mentioned in the article was a man from Poland.

          The one solace I find in this world is that I can piece things together well.

      Rapists absolutely deserve to be killed. In a revolution this would be done for certain. Unfortunately, governments run by Capitalists will not enforce this rule; even if they list out in a legal code that someone who sexually assaults a woman should be punished with death, rich financiers will find ways to fool people, or evade laws, or get light sentences.

      The world of the bourgeoisie does not even spare children, forcing young girls of nine and ten into the sordid embraces of wealthy and depraved old men. In the capitalist countries there are brothels which specialise exclusively in very young girls. In this present post-war period every woman faces the possibility of unemployment. Unemployment hits women in particular, and causes an enormous increase in the army of “street women”. Hungry crowds of women seeking out the buyers of “white slaves” flood the evening streets of Berlin. Paris and the other civilised centres of the capitalist states. The trade in women’s flesh is conducted quite openly, which is not surprising when you consider that the whole bourgeois way of life is based on buying and selling.

    I’m not gonna experience this specific interactive news article, because I don’t wanna read that fucked up shit right now. But I really like it that they make these visual-novel style effects to present their story in a more interesting way.

      The difference is when pornhub got in trouble they significantly changed how they moderate the site. Also I didn’t say we “don’t bother checking” I said we have no way of knowing on motherless. Those two things are very different. I can check and reverse image search and look for existing pornstars/of models but if it’s only posted to motherless and it’s some amateur porn, because of the poor moderation, there’s a significantly higher chance that it is non consensual content. I’m just not willing to take on that type of liability.
