This is why I am not going to see Watchmen. Rape is never, ever funny or entertaining, nor is torture. I'm sorry I even read the graphic novel.

I realize that it's supposed to be a commentary on how fucked up people are. I don't care. And it hurts me that people I like and love enjoyed it.

Of course, women generally doesn't develop a fondness for attempted (or actual) rapists and have consensual relationships with them later, either—despite what pop culture and literature would have us believe. The rape victim falling in love with her rapist is a pervasive narrative, and probably my most loathed theme in mainstream entertainment.

She should had added this goes for men as well. There are so many yaoi series/doujinshi/fics using this premise alone.

The creator of Gravitation had the most fun with this, I think. That doujinshi she did I think was an excuse to see who could do what to Shuichi.

The site is skewed towards the feminist viewpoint, so there's not much discussion of the male perspective.

I just don't understand the fascination.
