It's male on female violence in the imagery. Also, some of the imagery is rape imagery, and this used to be more popular in the Internet pornography, where the images were ones that made people think they were watching a rape. It was simulated rape, where the female was saying “no, I don't want it”, but the male continued. We were actually teaching them the steps of that.
It also implies patriarchy, that what the male wants is what is going to happen.
In all of those ways, it supports rape culture. Even at this point in our research, given the number of studies we have that say pornography and sexual violence are connected, the probability that there is not a connection between pornography and sexual violence is one in 88 decillion. That is 88 followed by 33 zeros, so the chance that those two things are not connected is just not a possibility at this point.
I treat rapists and sexual violence perpetrators. When I ask them about the beliefs, they have beliefs that are clearly triggered by the messages of pornography. They say, “I have a sexual entitlement. If she did this, then I have a right to have sex with her”, or “This is what happens at fraternity parties. You have sex with women who don't want to have sex”, or “I raped her because I could”. These are all Internet pornography-generated ideas that rapists believe cause them to be triggered and also give them permission to do what they are doing.
