- Juliate 2y ago1/ It does not take anything away. The use is not casual but deliberate and analytical. The concept of « rape culture » extends beyond sexual assault to other patterns of consent violation and power dynamics. 2/ it has been discussed for like, decades, in academic and social contexts, how attitudes in some domain reflects and reinforces them in others. 3/ Your « actual » makes an assumption about my experience that you have no basis for. Point remains that non-consensual use of artists’ work reflects the same fundamental disregard for autonomy that characterizes other consent violations.
