Because clearly porn containing simulated violence is to violence, as plutonium is to a nuclear bomb. There's no other reason that someone could like porn containing simulated violence... nope.
If possession of this material should be illegal, and prosecution should be based on possession, then surely my possession of a kitchen knife should lead to me being arrested. After all, the vast majority of people that have stabbed someone owned knives!
What about fertiliser? I could make a bomb with it!

Doesn't this add weight to the point that there isn't a direct correlation between the availability of this material and the incidence of rape?

DOES THE GOVERNMENT KNOW ABOUT THIS??? God, we might have people having sex in positions other than the missionary position, which as we all know, is an affront to God. Fucking deviants!
All taboo sexual acts are taboo because they're sick and violent and wrong! If access to porn makes people more open to previously taboo sexual acts, then clearly it follows from this that violent porn will make people violent!
It's a slippery, slippery slope. If we allow violent porn to be legal, then soon telephones will be having sex with hamsters, and all sorts of horrible things will be legal.

What if it is consensual? Won't this make it easier to someone to falsely cry rape and ruin the lives of innocent people?
