133. the misogyny and racism is in the titillation that sexually tortured
women provide. White women provide more *bang for the buck*. and the bucks like to get their bangs.

Sex sells. Media needs to sell, above all else. Young, pretty girls are a sexual commodity. No one wants to admit to the turn on they get, having these sexually brutalized young hot white babes brought into their living rooms (at a safe distance so we can tut tut as all proper citizens should--while still enjoying the secret thrill)

I didn't see any of the threads the OP is referring to. But good looking white women are the sex-object of this land, and always have been (media has always gleefully reported on women found dead and NUDE. It sells. If they're white, young and hot, that is).

Because of their status as sex objects, concern for their safety, besides being a sexualized turn on, feeds into masculine savior fantasies (which, in a loop of logic are reserved for those they are titillated by. Minority, unattractive, old, disenfranchised people hold no payoff for the horny. They will not bring in eyeballs. Therefore, they will recieve little to no media real estate.)

A linked issue is the contempt showered upon sex-objects by those who use them. (The "haha, no I won't respect you in the morning" contingent). I think that is also being pointed out here.)
