Rape and murder, eh...

I can't help but abstract away the taboo nature of those experiences.

A happening that no-one should have ever gone through. A side of the victim you shouldn't have been able to see... It's all just prudence. My science-obsessed mind wants a thorough account of everything. Not to imply that I'd ever willingly send a victim through that experience.

Also, in the distant future we'll be able to experience those things with full immersion from the criminal's or the victim's perspective in a entirely fictional setting. Full-dive VR games.

Also also, I've jacked off to all sorts of heinous porn before, which is like the experience from the criminal's side, just less real. Should we rid the world of those experiences too?

What makes it special?
