Magical Pedophiles...I smell a movie title!
The scene from Prince of Tides where the boy is raped is still burned into my brain and will never go away. And I saw it about 10 years ago. Children are innocents, which is why this is such a crime. We are absolutely destroying the spirit and soul of a child, and potentially creating a monster. It is why animal abuse is WAY more horrible than spousal abuse in my book, the animal has no control/though process about the situation. The spouse can at least get the hell out of there. And yes I realize this is a blanket statement, please don't pick it apart. In the purist sense it is true.
I think most studies have shown (and by this I mean Criminal Minds and Law and Order SVU) that pedofiles will eventually act on a human. That they may lie dormant for a while, but they will offend someday. And they will repeat. So why make CGI? This might take someone from a gold star offender to a full blown offender because it is easier to access and easier to spiral down into the sickness.
I do understand the fine line of showing a violent rape in a movie to evoke emotion, but porn is SO different from an artistic movie. No matter how much soft focus and storyline is involved, you're watching the movie to get off. That is the purpose.
