But the general attitude of the rap blog community seems to be \u201cwell, once it\u2019s out there, it\u2019s out there and there\u2019s nothing you can do about it\u201d. That statement is true, but on the same token, it is a fallacy that suggests a crime is okay because everyone else is doing it. Hey, everyone else here at this party has raped the 15 year old girl in the back room, so what\u2019s the difference if you do it too? Yes, that is an extreme comparison, but pretending like your actions don\u2019t contribute to the big picture is incorrect, because everyone is thinking that way.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
