Heinz, you're wrong. Real rapists are going to rape whether there are movie-rapes or websites showing fantasies. Normal people are not so easily deluded into criminal activity, and numerous studies have shown that long-term exposure to violent depictions has no harmful effects on "normal" people. One such study was conducted by the Canadian Government on Customs officers that, as part of their jobs, had to sit and review thousands of violent and horrific movies every week. This team of customs officers had to review all such materials coming across the borders into Canada from all over the world. The study proved conclusively to have no measurable negative effect on these people.
If someone's prone to committing real rape or any real crime, other studies have shown that having a fantasy outlet such as a website (which can also include a forum where other like-minded souls can commiserate) can actually be a preventative measure, since it is in fact an outlet. But there are other people that, although normal in their real lives, wish to indulge their fantasies privately on the net or with the movies they rent, and they should be allowed to do so.
Bottom line, who the fuck are we to tell the next person what they are allowed to think about?
Heinz, do you really believe that violence on TV causes normal people to then commit violence? That, my friend, is ludicrous. The only reason people blame TV violence for the real violence that occurs is because it's the easiest choice. The easy way isn't always the right way though.
Funny how for most people it's totally okay to watch REAL violence, death and horror unfold during the 6 o'clock news, even while the kids are watching it. YET, when we see a violent horror film or website showing extreme horror, the censorshit police are yelling for it to be removed. It's a really boned up world when real violence is accepted but fantasy play-acting is not.
Think about it.
