Default Consequence of Rape Scenes on Thai TV
TV producers in Thailand always defend their plots by saying that people know the difference between play acting and real life. But do they? And how do these plots influence the children who are forced to watch these soap operas with their parents because they live in a one room house.

Children enjoy sexual assault scenes on TVs: survey

A recent survey has revealed shocking findings: many children enjoy watching scenes of rapes on TV and they come to see sexual assaults as something common. "Some children even say they want to be like leading male characters in TV series so that they can rape a woman," Dr Noppadon Kannika said Tuesday as the head of the Assumption University's research centre, "This is worrying".

Conducted from April 24 to April 27, the survey covered 2,159 respondents in Bangkok and major cities. The respondent age starts from two years old up. According to the survey, raping scenes are the favourite among 21.1 per cent of children aged between 13 and 19 years old, 10.3 per cent of children aged between two and six years old and 6.4 per cent of those aged from seven to 12 years old.
They see nothing wrong with this as the lead male ends up marrying the woman he earlier raped and beat. We see this kind of action so often that it becomes the norm for children. They learn that Thai males are superior and that they canget away with beating their wife or girlfriend.

This is the consequence:

Thai boys rape girl after watching porn

Thai police arrested three boys who sexually assaulted a seven-year-old girl after watching pornography at an Internet café. The boys, aged between eight and 12, were arrested at a housing estate in the Thawee Watthana district on the western outskirts of Bangkok. The boys’ parents were taken for questioning, too. The victim's parents complained to police that their daughter was assaulted on April 17. They said their daughter was raped, and an examination confirms she has had sexual intercourse. Police are considering charges ranging from gang rape to taking a minor for a lewd act. Inspector Major Phuwadol Niamsri said the boys admitted to the acts and said they imitated what they saw on the Internet.
The common theme on Thai television of violence against women should be stopped now.
