Saw this article posted around 3 weeks ago from CNN. Found out about it, because it suddenly exploded everywhere into the usual all man bashing shit. Could be my algorithm too ofc, but it's still bad how often it's used for a cheap 'man bad' argument, rather than maybe actually having a grounded dicussion on any of these findings (fat chance online) and added to this, I've seen people try and tag that stupid 2024 'man and bear' crap all pver again, so it might be yet another one of those social media trend cases 🙄
https://edition.cnn.com/interactive/2026/03/world/expose-rape-assault-online-vis-intl/index.html
Now of course, this is horrific to read, though it also surprises me how much people lack the imagination of all the illegal shit that goes on in clandestine channels, the world over, by men and women (drugs, child trafficking, murder, you name it) but ~10,000 men engaging in clandestine telegram channels is hardly some sort of 'global epidemic' especially when comparing 50% of the entire human race.
The 36 million stat is also based on men viewing 'sleeping' category porn on either porn website 'motherless' and/or on other surface porn sites. 'Sleeping porn' is essentially porn of touching, filming, or even having sex with sleeping subjects. However, like any fantasy, it is possible to watch faked simulations of this. I do recognise that the line between faked and real rape in this category is grey however. 36 million represents 0.9% or lower total population of men in the world (50% out of ~8.2 billion total people in the world).
But sometimes as well, by the above logic, if people watch sadism in sado-masochism, does that mean that they're secretly actual psychotic torturers? (Yes, BDSM without consent is also rape, and torture) It's possible there are videos in thar category that do grey the line to, or are outright disgusting snuff porn too.
Inversely some studies also show 62% of women have had a rape fantasy before as well, that by definition doesn't mean they want to be raped, as rape is inherently against someone's will legally. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19085605/
So this whole thing just seems like some people looking up a greyline category on legal porn sites, with some of those videos though being actual rape maybe without people's knowledge sometimes (sites like Pornhub have cracked down on this since) and overall being a minority porn category, and a few thousand monstrous rapist men secretly convening on Telegram with other rapist men on how to rape their wives, and somehow this is collectively ALL our faults. Somehow this amounts to an 'epidemic.'
I'm getting so fed up of these articles, some of which are inherently sensationalised, so they can paint us as all terrible monsters, and this shit is still normalised to do to us?
When there are cases of women engaging in bad and dangerous behaviour against us in turn (doxxing and defaming on the teaapp) that arguably gets vastly less media attention or generalisation in turn, even gets shoved under the carpet.
