Did you really have to make a thread on this one Andy?
shareAnd what if someone say discussed MURDER (which many may think is an even worse crime and bad deed?) in such a manner, would you also feel such need to take either actions or are we actually legitimately allowed to let that subject pass and slide here?
shareThis is a very legitimate stance, imo, since I'm an avid fan of the 'true crime' community on YouTube.
shareThe OP and others should've met my grandmother 20 years ago. She had a particularly strong stance on the "subject" at times even thinking that the perpetrators are so horrible that they deserve to die, and she told me that. :)
shareA perfect clip to illustrate that point of view: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8iiAk5Oy2JA
shareThat's all well and good, but I don't see you making thousands of threads on the subject. Mentioning it every now and then when appropriate is one thing; banging on about it 24/7 might come across as a bit weird.
shareClaiming to have an awareness of "thousands of threads on the subject" is indicative of a certain measure of obsessiveness on your part. Just sayin'.
shareIn my defence, I'm not the one constantly posting about disturbing subjects (and I'm not the only person that has noticed this unhealthy obsession either).
shareI feel that I've dealt with several posters here that appear to be obsessive in their rhetoric. As I've said, I'm a follower of 'true crime' channels on YouTube. That could be considered to be unhealthy also, even morbid by some. In reality, I'm just fascinated by mysteries and the workings of the criminal mind. People like me tend to become detectives, criminal profilers, psychologists, psychiatrists.
shareYes, but you don't post about it several times a day, but then again, it isn't illegal to post about rape all the time, so I will just have to accept that fact - it still doesn't sit right with me though.
shareIf someone went on about murder as obsessively as you do about rape, then yes, I would feel uneasy about it.
shareMate, I like to think that I (was this thread really in relation to me though?) did not go any more obsessively about EITHER subject.
And the thing is, as I said before, I SOMETIMES went about it that way only because I got emotionally entangled with its popularity and emotional aspects, a lot of which before I did not know and some of which didn't make sense and I was essentially exploring HUMAN NATURE here, and many of those other posts were not even about rape overall.
Plus, as I said before, murder I spoke of often MUCH more than that other subject. And many of my subjects simply DIDN'T EXCLUDE THAT OTHER SUBJECT MATTER in the overall theme of crime, wrong and evil in humanity.
You are in denial - the frequency in which you broach the subject is not normal.
shareI'm not completely in denial. And as I said already, its not just that subject I approached here overall even if I didn't exclude it, I am just saying I am not as obsessed and fixated on it (alone) as perhaps my posts may lead others to believe I am.
And OK maybe I did go like on about it for longer than was "necessary" but then again I saw so many conflicting emotions on it displayed that I sometimes couldn't help it and I simply wondered why people, rightly and wrongly, have the stance on it that they do.
And a lot of my posts and threads were not about the subject. But it is part of human nature and part of evil as well so it was not excluded or at times what I said about other things in life could also apply to that subject.
And the frequency as such really came from me just having a particular sort of posting style, not actual obsession on the subject.
One of the other reasons I also posted a lot about it was because at times, I have seen some very angry reactions around it when I even started posting it first, and I got upset and inconvenienced by it. Same reactions didn't happen when I talked about murder and whatnot, and me posting a lot there was just an attempt to sort the matter out and get some baggage and burden off my back, even if I understand where people are coming from.
But can we please drop it and let it go, I don't want to be embarrassed here and also give others wrong impression, thanks.
Stop trying to justify the fact that you continuously post about rape to an alarming degree.
The reason you are embarrassed is because deep down you know it's wrong.
Are you sure this hypothetical poster is in fact doing that?
Because what if his posts were, hypothetically, completely incomprehensible drivel consisting of words that kinda fit a sentence structure ...
you could probably read anything into them
100%
They regularly post on every film page that has a rape scene.
They also have hundreds of posts with 'rape' in the title.
I think your concerns are warranted, but given how little the mods here actually moderate over things like this, I think E is your best option, although if you feel you want to broach the subject of their obsession with rape, by all means, I commend you for doing so.
