Is society encouraging rape and violence?

December 26, 2006 1:48pm CST
I was browsing the internet, browsing for anime photos and the like, when I came across a hentai site... For those of you who don't know, hentai is po.rn featuring anime characters, and it also contains themes of violence, and bonda.ge. So my topic for discussion is this: With media like this availiable at the click of a button/mouse, is it encouraging the rates of rape and violence, or is it the people themselves that manage to interpret this as an oppurtunity to blame someone else?

Yeah, I heard about that... People today are so ready to prosecute someone else and their ideas without listening to what they have to say...

What makes you think I'm eastern? And I'm not saying that it JUSTIFYS rape etc, I'm just asking if maybe these type of sites and things are 'widening the horizons'of would be criminals, putting the ideas they need in their heads?
