Of course they'll argue that, while distasteful, the sub isn't illegal or encouraging illegal behavior. Except for, you know, that it is. People do crazy and awful things for attention and if you give them a place like that where rape is glorified, the message clearly becomes "do this thing, post about it and get attention!" A winking "we're not really SUPPOSED to do this," isn't going to deter anyone. The sub isn't a place for raped women to gather to talk about their pain. It isn't a place where people talk about how to stop rape, prevent it, catch rapists or teach self defense. It specifically glorifies it as a fun and enjoyable thing. It doesn't HAVE to explicitly say "you should try this!" for that to be the message and take-away.
