for those of you who are screaming about how this is censorship and should not be allowed blah blah .....
are you seriously stating that mastercard is wrong for choosing not to process RAPE sites? Forget the rest of it that is moral argument, do you think RAPE is a moral argument and that this should be allowed under freedom of speech?!?!
The only line of defense ANY of us have in a court of law is CONSENT.
Rape is the opposite of consent and an animal can't give consent. I would be less concerned about visa, mastercard, your hosting company, your reputation etc than I would about the RSPCA and Peta.

They don't make a distinction between actual rape and simulated rape
I can go buy the movie Irreversible on DVD (with a mastercard even) and it has a very brutal rape scene in it...what about ravishment fantasies? I can buy a whole lot of "romance" novels with strong men who ravish women and "take them"...
I don't think anyone is going to have actual rape sites and real "snuff" sites...I can go buy the entiure Friday The 13th series on DVD (and I've done just that) and I could have bought it with my mastercard (should I actually choose to ever carry one). Isn't that simulated snuff?
So, if I were to take the movie Irreversible and a Friday the 13th video and ripped them and stuck them up behind a credit card area, Mastercard wouldn't process for these? why (copyright issues aside ;-))?
