“some fantasies are just fantasies” serial rapist marc o’leary has spoken publicly about how watching return of the jedi at age five and seeing a heavily sexualized princess leia in chains led him to fantasize about bondage and rape at a young age and eventually influenced his decision to bind and gag his victims as an adult so let’s not pretend for one single second that onscreen depictions of misogynistic violence are “just fantasies” that don’t actively endanger the lives of real women

Fantasies!! Do not!! Develop!! In!! A vacuum!! They don’t spontaneously generate!! I hate that “fantasies are just fantasies” argument because /goddamn/, are you not even interested in asking yourself where your fantasies are coming from?? Like… Men are just… willing to accept, at face value, that the suffering of women is titillating to them? How??
