Not to worry, the video is now on most major online porn sites, mostly in the “fetish” section. It is quite easily accessible.

Exactly. Regardless of your opinion on its artistic merit, the fact that people are incensed enough to try to shut down her site really says it all.

Her project is lazy. That is why I suggested depersonalizing the project so it could have a longer impact. If she put her questions in third person, it could have been a discussion about rape and the notion of the “perfect victim”. Instead, we have a project that will no longer be relevant once people forget who she…

The idea that not ever victim is the “perfect victim” could have been a theme. Some victims have had consensual sex with their attackers outside of the attack, don’t report, remain in contact with their attacker, and are unable to fight back. Crimes are not always easy to judge and resolve as we would like them to be.

Fred and his wife Edna went to the state fair every year. Every year Fred would say, “Edna, I’d like to ride in that there airplane.” And every year Edna would say, “I know Fred, but that airplane ride costs ten dollars, and ten dollars is ten dollars.”One year Fred and Edna went to the fair and Fred said, “Edna, I’m…

This is extremely important. Whether you think it is “bad art” or not this is fucking important. When a rape victim story is ever put out for public consumption the general consensus is that people feel like they have a right to know exactly what happened, that if they could they should basically have video access to…

This episode of Law and Order: SVU just keeps getting better! It started out being about college rape epidemics and it will meander over to cyber crimes, and before you know it the conclusion will be about smuggling gibbons in basketballs.

I hate that this has turned into an anti-women, anti-feminist bullshit cesspool. She basically just handed the microphone to a bunch of angry MRAs, who are using this situation to talk shit about feminism and women.

I think the comments alone prove her piece has worth

Red Guard is all over the comments on this post, methinks protesting too much.

making a porn video re-enactment of your rape is common? i’m asking this as a survivor myself, because this whole thing strikes me as odd to the extreme.

But this isn’t about rape in general or consent. This isn’t even about sending a message to the world. This is all about her, getting attention for herself, provoking people by basically saying that if you watch a video she posted publicly, then you are raping her. She’s trolling. This is not a PSA. It’s trolling.

The comments are pretty brutal on that site, but maybe that’s part of the point.

I have/had diagnosable PTSD (not something I’m proud of exactly). They highly recommend you do not recreate traumatic events alone. It makes it even more difficult to move forward if you keep recreating traumatic events. You have to recreate them but move forward in them, which is how EMDR works. I could not function…

She’s asking too much from them. This has to be exhausting for everyone involved, but apparently not for her. She’s been invigorated by the whole thing, which is bizarre. But I think the fact that they’re not very supportive of this project says a lot about how they feel about it. I mean she’s doing her thing as an…

Which is why it’s highly inflammatory in the most unfair way. She’s a piece of work if you ask me.

Expecting your friends and family to support your creation of a violent sex tape is a bit much to ask. Re-creating an incidence of trauma is not healthy outside of a highly controlled setting (such as EMDR). I like art - I study it - but this most recent piece isn’t exactly the same as painting flowers. Or even…

I didn’t notice before that she altered the time stamps to be 8/27/2012.

I’d agree if it weren’t for some of the games being listed here. Octodad isn’t trash by any sense of the word. Revenge of the Titans isn’t trash, good game and getting overwhelmingly positive reviews. Beyond Gravity wasn’t my thing, but I don’t think trash really applies. And it’s only 2 bucks. RPG Tycoon I haven’t…

True story. My sister once raised money to save the Brazilian Rain Forest despite the fact that she’s not, in fact, a marmoset.
