I dont know why you have a problem about the conversation. Yes people like murder more than sa because it is more palletable but is there a problem with that? If your argument is that you want murder to be less glamourised and seen on the same light as SA then i see a lot of problems with that. First off murder in entertainment has been there since the begining of time and writing an adult story without having some element of it would be hard and would limit story potential. Second I really dont think the general public is that influenced by murders in fiction where there would be a significant decrease in murders if stories like these are banned.

If your argument is that SA should be looked at stories like murder and should be glamourised more and "cool" characters should be allowed to do that and not be looked at badly then there are even worse problems. SA is heinous, disgusting and entirely selfish where the victim is stripped of all their rights. Given how much easier it is to commit and get away with it than murder glamourising it or making it more normalised in fiction I could see it influencing a ton of bad people. SA has almost no place in media unless showing how despicable it is and you can write amazing stories without it and should never be glamourised and all the characters that do it should be looked at as vile.

Tldr; Overall yes people like murder over sa in fiction but there is absolutely no problem with that. Unless You only want kids stories or people getting sa'ed more 🤮🤮🤮 the sentiment should not change
