Holy shit, what a dismissive take on the article. This exact reaction is part of the problem .
Who gives a shit about the accurate reporting of the number. How about the broader issue of a) sleep rape, proven in court, b) that rapists have published their exploits online, and C) that there is an audience for same.
Journalists are supposed to give a shit. Reporting needs to be accurate for people to be well informed, not sensational exploitation of an actual issue to personally profit from clicks.
If this is the first you’re hearing of this I can understand your reaction, but this issue has been discussed for about two weeks and there’s better reporting out there. You don’t have to defend clickbait.
The points raised are important because they determine how prevalent the problem is, and how sensationalized the article is.
There are 6 BILLION internet users. So 1 in 100,000 internet users have viewed these rape videos. Oh wait, less than that, that’s for the whole site. Oh wait, less than that, that’s hits, not unique visitors. Oh wait, only half of that 6 billion are men, more or less. Oh wait, women view porn, too. Etc.
This takes it from something that statistically is a concern for my small city to something that statistically has a single dangerous individual in my city, at most.
We perhaps shouldn’t make special units to deal with this where I live, but should maybe have awareness courses for law enforcement and healthcare professionals to help identify potential victims. Larger cities may want to take a different approach.
So you have personally poked enough holes in the article, and broken down the problem in your head sufficiently, that you are comfortable to ignore the issue.
It must be nice to love in a comfortable bubble like that.
This rape porn is one of many many disturbing things we live with. There are enslaved people all over the world, for example. What do we do about it? This commenter is trying to be logical and you want them to be enraged. Unless there’s a place to channel that rage, what is the point? If you have solutions I’m all ears; finding some action to take would perhaps help me sleep better at night.
I specifically said what I was comfortable with doing to respond to this problem, depending on the size of the local population and therefore the likelihood of this actually occurring. Neither response was ‘nothing’.

Take your semantics and fuck off.

Take that argument up with the editor. It doesn’t respond to the concern.

Yes it is the first, thank you for the response.
