I must confess that, having read the many responses to my post, it is surprising to me how my original point got lost. I drew the analogy to animals because so many (including the moderators) had objected to inclusion of animal abuse on this board. My mistake. My original points were this:
1) Fethishism (if that is a word) does not preclude ethics,
2) Reasonable ethics demands that unwilling, non-consensual victims of sexual violence (****, sexual mutilation, etc.) should not be revictimized by this board's distribution of material that documents the violent crime or crimes committed against them (for the sexual pleasure of the users of this board).
One can, of course, disagree with either of these assertions, but I think that most would agree that they are reasonable.
What do the moderators think?
