What about Deistic/Bestial rape?

Leda and the Swan

A sudden blow: the great wings beating still
Above the staggering girl, her thighs caressed
By the dark webs, her nape caught in his bill,
He holds her helpless breast upon his breast.

How can those terrified vague fingers push
The feathered glory from her loosening thighs?
And how can body, laid in that white rush,
But feel the strange heart beating where it lies?

A shudder in the loins engenders there
The broken wall, the burning roof and tower
And Agamemnon dead.
Being so caught up,
So mastered by the brute blood of the air,
Did she put on his knowledge with his power
Before the indifferent beak could let her drop?

I don't know, I wrote a rape story from the aggressor's viewpoint but I don't think it was supposed to be "beautiful". I doubt rape ever seems beautiful in real life, even to the aggressor; in fiction, you can make just about anything aesthetic tho. But it would be difficult for me to find it such.

However, the OP is talking about real life. As a moral nihilist, I'd say it's not morally anything. But on a personal level I find it the idea extremely disagreeable and something I would take action to interfere with even if I weren't the victim. Rape is a very upsetting idea to me

>Murder is usually made beautiful in the context of revenge.

But that's not true. There are multiple examples of aggressive, non-revenge murders being presented in an aesthetic manner that belies that gruesomeness and baseness of the act (while even simultaneously intensifying it). Look at something like The Silence of the Lambs for example (particularly the guard's death).

The reason why sexual crimes can't be approached the same way is the deep, deep cultural/social meaning built around sex that sanctifies and yet criticizes it simultaneously. It seems strange that a torturer/murderer could quite easily live a normal life after doing their time yet those who committed sex crimes are institutionally marginalized and essentially exiled (and no don't point to some high profile celebrities who have managed to be mostly unaffected long-term; chances are if you found out your neighbor was a sex offender you would at best avoid them and at worst actively attempt to ostracize them).

The logical end of dismantling stigmas and cultural taboos around sex is classifying sex crimes as akin to serious assault and battery.

i would argue that, given the right context, anything is permissible given that it prevents something worse happening.

with regards to being beautiful, it seems a rather vulgar act but there can be beauty in vulgarity. the futurist movement was largely driven by the idea that art could be just cruelty and violence, so by that logic cruelty and violence could just be art. i think it would depend on how you'd present the act, although reading that back it seems a bit obvious

>> No.5037599

It is a very interesting idea OP, might part of the horrifyingness of rape be the confrontation to other people afterwards? The shame? If you assume that no physical harm is being done, except restrain and a bit rough sex. Usually I could imagine rape is a grossly physically harmful process. But physical restrain in itself is rather harmless, sex is usually enjoyed by people.

Still, the only thing you would be able to do is kind of make it a neutral thing, but then it would just be some kind of 'rape-play'.
Rape can never be beautiful because it destroys the beauty of both sex and the idea of seducing a consenting girl. Rape is very unaesthetic, since the true aesthete will make women think they are the seducers

The idea that most sexually active men have the desire (somewhere at least) to have sex with every women who is fit to bear a child is disturbing as well. We have learned that it is not good to follow your desires and all, but it's still a twisted balance between men and women.

Rape isn't always typical aggressor vs helpless victim
In fact it rarely is.

When I say 'rape', everyone in this thread is thinking of an innocent woman in public minding her own business when suddenly a crazed man defies all social norms and leaps at her unzipping his penis because he has some sort of mental illness.

we picture it like other random acts of violence like knife assaults but neither are these totally random. Usually there are words exchanged, details that probably never come to the attention of the police because it suggests the 'victim' invited the attack.

Just like violent disturbances are most of domestic altercations, rapes is often something between friends, so called friends or partners.

We know all this and it's been documented in film with dramatic effect and artistic merit.
We still like to ignore it because we don't like to think someone, our fellow human beings, least of all someone we know well, could act with behaviour usually regarded as feral and inhumane.
But this isn't a realistic idea of violence. Holding rape and crime in this regard let's us dismiss it as simply deranged when really the circumstances are often very complex and quite possibly very human.

>> No.5039127

>>5039123
No, it does not. It has to do with whether the sex was consensual or not; non-consensual sex which was "good in retrospect" (probably indicative of an abusive relationship) would still be rape, and consensual sex which was traumatic and shit in retrospect would not be rape. Just like whether or not you were working for someone for free consensually defines slavery, not how you feel about the work afterword.

I'm not sure how many relationships you've been in, but in the ones I'm in sex is pretty much always planned ahead of time. I'd also say that if you try to undress someone without some of obvious green light, you're going to upset them.

>most consensual sex is only implied
because there is a context in which consent becomes almost obvious, and even when there was no consent, the non-consenting person would make it clear, at least if there is mutual respect and trust.
you have to be a real autist or live in a weird society to not understand that.

>> No.5039164

Not necessarily. Consent is more simple willingness, which humans admittedly have a more complex system for, but even animals express willingness or lack thereof for certain things.

Yes. And consent determines whether the work done is slavery.

consent seems like something you can easily tear apart with a few well-put deconstruction style examples, but i'll come up with them some other time.

i have thought for a long time now about how it is always assessed by its range of consequences after the fact. i mean in terms of any action.

regarding relationships, it's come to my attention how, say, dragging someone along to see a movie both of us suspect they won't like (but which i think they might appreciate at the end) is somewhat analogous to the other thing we are talking about. did they consent to the film if they hated it all the way through? is there a tacit consent just to be with me? i think these are all things you need to think about.

I don't get that god shit either --that Christian retard yesterday preaching that our mission is to learn to be good.

Yes, it's quite common, though I'm not sure of Nietzsche's circumstances --usually it comes with the passing of a loved one and our feelings must find someway of exerting themselves upon the world. I think Nietzsche's "insanity" was more the forfeit of his long search for Truth, the reasons for his search coming to the fore once more.

There's a lot of debated extension to what consent entails, but for the purposes of this discussion we can just assume a willingness. We won't assume a quid pro quo unless you include threat. There is real consent; the term might perverted to bullshit, but slavery can be too ("Taxes are slavery!")

Generally speaking, dragging someone to a movie without their consent is not possible.
