as if we didn’t already know that returnofkings is a toxic website built on a foundation of misogyny, sexism and rape culture, then this article that vincent vinturi posted yesterday that literally justifies rape, proves it greatly
”I barreled through her resistance nonchalantly”, ”With rape laws the way they are in countries like the US and Canada, it’s downright scary to be a man” and “If a man finds a woman SO incredibly desirable that he would throw his freedom, reputation, his whole life away to fuck her, that shows the woman is on the highest echelon of desirability” are some (among many) of the deeply terrifying things that is writtenand if you go and look at the comments below the article you’ll se that he is far from alone in these beliefs, which is just downright horrifrying
so don’t you dare telling me that rape culture isn’t real, ever
i read this and the comments pretty much made me feel sick
i want to snap their necks
the statistic is NOT “1 in 3 native women will be raped in their lifetime”
the real statistic is “1 in 3 native women will be raped AT LEAST ONCE in their lifetime”
this is a very important distinction to make please make it known im serious. also its worth noting that 70% of our rapes are carried out by colombus’ crew aka white men. murders also happen more at the hands of white men. this is all important information and im pissed it was ignored in that photoset

You ever notice the people who come out to defend people who do bad things never advocate for the victims of those bad things? When people blog about protecting pedophiles you can go to their blog and there is nothing there advocating for children’s safety, rights, protection, etc. But they hide behind their ideals of protecting all people, peace, love, and oneness?
i side-eye anyone who protects pedophiles.
Backed 100%
NO.
Not all pedophiles sexually abuse children, and because of things like this, they’re less likely to seek psychiatric help for their attractions, less likely to tell anyone, driving them further into the proverbial shadows where they’re more likely to hurt some child.
If this said “child abusers” or “child rapists” or “child molesters,” but not his.
Pedophilia is the attraction.
And as far as we can determine they have actual brain differences.STOP.
This is making the problem worse.
There is no cure for pedophilia; eventually they will act out on their fantasies. I have no fucks to give for pedophiles. I care about the children who are stared at in the most disgusting manner, photographed while at the park for disgusting purposes, molested, raped, assaulted, and killed. How can anyone feel sympathy for pedophiles?
I was molested and raped as a child and I will never feel sorry for any pedophile.
Tw; rape. My best friend made a rape joke and I got really really mad at him and yelled at him. Afterwards he apologized (I had to correct his apology bc it was one of those "sorry IF I offended you but he apologized the right way afterwards) should I forgive him?

tw: rape
I cannot tell you what to do; only you can decide whether you feel comfortable being his friend or not.
What I can suggest is maybe writing a letter to him; full with your feelings and educational information about rape and rape culture. If he is worthy of your friendship he will read it and 1) feel ashamed and admit that he was wrong, and 2) he will try very hard not to make that mistake again.
It is hard to accept others unconditionally; especially when they engage in harmful behavior but do you think you should write him off completely? Are you giving up on him? It is okay if you want to. Removing toxic people from your life can be very beneficial. However, if you choose to remain his friend just keep doing what you did; tell him how you truly feel. Loving someone unconditionally means flaws and all. You can hate the flaws. You can hate a culture that he has been exposed to. You can even hate some of his actions; but you can still love him. <3 I hope this was helpful and I hope you are okay.
I have a very weird question, Snowy. I'm curious, is it possible to consider yourself an intersectional feminist (and womanist) and still enjoy pornography? I consider myself both, but am I being a contradicting hypocrite because I also enjoy pornography? Especially being a WoC, I understand how much women, especially WoC, are subject to disgusting fetishization in the industry. Is it possible for me to be a feminist who enjoys porn, as long as I'm critical of it?

I really do not know the answer to this and I hope that someone can help us both to understanding this better*
I understand that many people, and especially women, are exploited/raped/abused/subjected to injury and illnesses/fetishized/+ in the porn industry. I respect a consenting adult’s choice to be involved in sex work; however, I realize there is a difference between getting involved in sex work out of necessity, desperation, choice, and being forced into it (sex trafficking). The demand of porn may increase the numbers of individuals kidnapped into sex trafficking.
I am very ignorant on this topic so I hope that someone can help us to understand this issue: does watching porn/buying porn promote the exploitation of individuals involved in sex work?
