Right. But you said this (my bold):

So if you get to tell people that voices in their head might be real, even though that can worsen their potentially dangerous condition, why can't misogynists indulge their fantasies, disregarding the potential harm it may cause to some individuals?
....My subsequent posts have been in response to that, and what I've been doing is explaining why believing women are objects is not comparable to believing demons exist.

In relation to this I think there's too many variables to consider.
Porn definitely gives people ideas and influences people. On the other hand I think has more to do with deeper reasons like how people are raised as to if they would actually rape a person based on the ideas porn gives them.
I think statistics relating to rape and porn are pretty vague and come with variables like different times, different technology to catch rapists, the amount of rape being reported.
I watched all kinds of violent rape role play porn but only ever indulged in acting out rape role play and violent sex with the women who requested that. It's a pretty common fantasy for women to have in my experience, goes pretty much in the same ball park as being tied up and restrained. It is pretty common in porn because the demand for it is pretty common.
I would agree with the bolded, btw. I'm not saying rape porn is some sort of sole reason that causes someone to rape. But I do absolutely disagree with the notion that rape porn actually helps prevent people who have violent sexual tendencies from raping. If anything, I feel it would serve as yet another negative influence on an already messed up person, not help them.

I don't know whether or not porn prevents people from acting out their fantasies in real life. It seems, that porn helps preventing many people from having any real sex at all. But I haven't seen any studies on that subject and I'm curious what do you base your opinion on. Is it just your personal view, based on the feeling that porn is "icky"?
Ok.
And to answer your question, my opinion is just based on what seems to make logical sense. If Bob has sexually violent tendencies, it would logically follow that indulging in rapey porn depicting women getting sexually abused and assaulted would only fuck him up even more. At the very least I certainly don't think it would help him, as a couple people here have claimed.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
