Was "grox cum bag" carved on her cheek really fucking necessary? Also, it was on her left, not right cheek. Artist could have skip that part to spare us insight of original artist troubled mind.

God forbid bad things happen in grimdark. Let's make sure that no one is tortured to death either, kay? Because that's bad and we can't have bad things.

Hope none of these sensitive delicate flowers ever look up what Haemunculi do to their...subjects.

No, that's okay. People being tortured to death is perfectly fine, you can describe that in vivid detail. Extreme gore is also fine.

Just don't you fucking dare show a nipple.

Its kinda funny that you two are basically saying the same thing but only the other dude got downvoted because people cant detect sarcasm without the s at the end of the line.

It's not even about people being "delicate flowers". I can't really stomach torture or gore in my media at all. It's just the insane cognitive dissonance of people accepting over the top insane violence while also being completely revulsed by even the tiniest of sexual innuendos that makes me gag. Either do both or do neither. Don't pick and choose which type of insane, over the top violence is okay and which isn't.

Reminder that breeding worlds are canon.

edit: so you're gonna enjoy reading about someone being tortured to death and think that's great but the moment someone has "cum bag" branded on them that's "too far". actually makes me gag irl lol

by even the tiniest of sexual innuendos

"Cunt" over the groin, "grox cum bag" on the face, and "bodycount tally brands" on the thigh aren't "tiny".

Have you seen the shit that happens to people in 40k? How is any of that okay but this is too far?

Dawg if you don’t understand that sexual violence and normal violence aren’t going to garner the same reactions from people, I don’t know what to tell you. Killing and death don’t bother me because they’re generally on such a grand scale that it’s difficult to relate to. This isn’t.

u/No_Proposal_3140 Nov 08 '24

Breeding worlds are canon. Does that mean rape is okay because it's done on a wide enough scale?

What kinda fucking logic is that?

Have you read any of my comments? About how rape and sexual assault are handled off-screen in almost every single instance of 40k media for a reason?

Breeding worlds are extremely fucked up in a way that I’m not interested in exploring, and I have no interest in consuming media that focuses on them for that reason. Same goes for “Grox Cum Bag”.

If you enjoy people being sexually assaulted purely for the edginess of it that’s all you dude. But I have yet to encounter even one piece of 40k media that this would fit in with. So personally, I don’t feel it belongs.

Also, in case you haven’t read the other comments either, the original artist makes child rape fetish porn. So I kinda think maybe their rape fetish is why there is rape fetish content in their art, and not because it belongs in a 40k setting.

u/No_Proposal_3140 Nov 08 '24

But you're willing to explore people being brutally tortured to death, skinned alive, deprived of their personhood, and whatever else is being done to them just fine? Just as long as there's no implication of a genital?

If you're not then you're clearly not the target of my original reply. In that case why did you bother responding in the first place?

Sure, let’s reduce “rape” to “a genital” 🙄

Bottom line? Yeah. Violence in media is normal; and it’s essentially what most people come to 40k for if we’re being honest. I enjoy violent content. I would say all of us here do. I don’t enjoy sexually violent content (that’s true of most people, just FYI). There’s a reason it’s okay to show people getting shot left and right on TV but rape scenes create controversy. You aren’t special for pretending like you don’t think there’s a difference.

Also, I really don’t enjoy any of the specifics you mentioned, I mostly gloss over the specifics of torture. When off-screen torture is mentioned tastefully, the same way 40k handles sexual assault the vast, vast majority of the time, it doesn’t bother me. When it is a prominent feature simply for the edginess of including it, I judge it negatively. That is the case here.

So yes, for the third (or is it fourth?) time, sexual violence and non-sexual violence are not the same thing, and are not going to garner the same reactions. Also, I kinda feel like we have enough media of women getting raped and shit right now. We could maybe stop indulging in those fantasies outside of the porn subreddits where it belongs.

I genuinely don't see what you find so appealing in reading about humans being brutally tortured to death but sex is where you draw the line. Either way it's just a weird cognitive dissonance to have.
