I had a terrifying realization about today's culture. We know p()rn is violent and depraved. We know anything in our worst nightmares is probably floating in the darkest corners of the web.

But, the parallels of our p()rny expectations, plus a movie depiction of a serial predator/killer hit me deeply today.

Example: I was watching the movie Eye for an Eye (1996). The main character (MC) was played quite well. The (obvious) antagonist reminded me of the worst of pornsick men we see on this site, as an example.

TW content below:

In the movie, the MC's minor teenage daughter is raped then murdered by a very smug, violent man. The killer stalks, beats, rapes, then kills women as his MO, including an innocent housewife (for whom he delivered groceries). The Killer threatens Main Character, including a threat of sexual violence toward MC's prepubescent daughter.

I won't spoil the ending, but some things about the movie bothered me immensely:

  1. MC's daughter (17) was murdered, but she didn't tell her younger daughter (4?) why her sister died. Obviously she could have made it age appropriate with the help of a professional, but she made zero indication to the daughter her older sister's death was related to a dangerous man. The little girl was blaming herself and thought her sister died because it was her birthday, because she is a CHILD. The mother did not tell the little girl to run away/tell an adult if she saw a strange man. Nothing. Lamb to the slaughter. Thank goodness she was never harmed in the movie. I was taught about stranger danger as a child and dodged many creeps. I was lucky, and so many of our sisters were not. 😞

    1. Meanwhile, the MC's younger daughter was being stalked by the killer. To mind-f___ MC and groom the daughter, the killer was hiding in the schoolyard playhouse with the daughter. He was pretending to be "nice" to her and play with the toy kitchen set during her recess. When she did not return to the building, one of the male students alerted a female teacher. The student pointed to the playhouse in concern, as the daughter was in the playhouse with the man while the other kids rushed back to the school building. The stupid smug teacher ignored him, ushered him inside, and forgot the daughter. I wanted the mother to rip into them, but it did not happen. How many times are little girls ignored by female figures and exposed to danger? More than I can think about. Negligence or pickmeism, it doesn't matter. Together with other incidents, this is part of how we fail to protect our girls and fail to encourage rheir self-protective instincts.

  2. The way the killer taunted MC, his depraved sexual descriptions of her daughters (again, both underage) were eerily similar to what you would see on dark corners of Reddit and other sites catering to pornsick men.

Main Takeaways:

  1. PROTECT YOUR KIDS! Don't sit there like a fish with its mouth open when your gut tells you your child is in danger. Instill in your children the danger of strangers, kidnapping, and the existence of people who are capable of harming them/acting inappropriately. Look at Elizabeth Smart-- she was so very sheltered to the point of being primed into what a predator would see as an "ideal" target. She did not fight back when she was abducted out of her home...IIRC the predator threatened or lied about killing her family, and she believed the lie. She believed myths about sex she thought would protect her from being raped. The monsters who abducted her are responsible for their actions, but her parents could have given her age-appropriate information about dangerous people. Dangerous people are notorious for lying to children, using threats, and preying on naivete as a means to an end. Much like the p()rn industry grooming adults into acts with promises of ethicality and choice.

  2. I was deeply disturbed realizing, moreso than the usual, how many men are fantasizing about the precursors to Ted Bundy types of acts. Snvff films did exist decades ago, but mainstream sites like P()rnhub and Reddit show violent depravity flirting with it.

  3. Our society is literally conditioning men to act like serial rapists/killers. It is expected, aspirational, unavoidable, a way to "fit in."

  4. Younger women on FDS: Bd$m, str4ngling, an4l, roughness, anything other than "vanilla" was NOT normal in the Western world as recent as a decade or so ago. Maybe two decades.

  5. Be critical of the media you consume. If a female rapper/singer mentions "ch0king" in her media, realize it is performative libfem sex pozzy bullshit directed by men, to ultimately serve this cultural direction tonight toward "lite" versions of snvff films . Again, why would a woman, in a vacuum, want a man to do something serial killers/rapists/sex offenders/molesters do?

  6. Sex pozzy forces, bastardized "feminism," and other aspects of the patriarchy will pressure you to lower standards, abandon gut instinct, and be naive. In another subreddit, a poster wrote about "intellectual" virginity, and how modern society encourages it. Like MC's little girl (her failure to warn her daughter about the killer/stranger danger), young women are especially lambs to the slaughter. Onlyfans, stripping, sugaring, and other depravity are being marketed to young women on tiktok. Older women in dating subreddits are pressured to be vulnerable, "communicate," accept less, waste time etc, etc. I could not unsee this connection as a societal metaphor.

Ladies, be careful out there. Know your worth and listen to your gut. If you feel like prey in the presence of a man, it is so for a reason.
