But what if the video of someone raping someone is just "out there"? Paying someone to make the video (or making the video one's self) is pretty clear, but it's less clear (to me anyway) where the harm comes from in watching a video that already exists.
It doesn't harm the victim further, that harm has already been done.
What's the difference between someone viewing a rape video that's "in the wild", someone viewing a movie that depicts rape, or someone drawing a cartoon depicting rape?
Kind of playing devil's advocate here, but I also think I get what his point is, that I don't want to be in a society that has thought crimes.
