Personally I think just focusing on one aspect such as rape takes away from the point if someone is arguing about the negative effect of Gangsta Rap.

I'd be much more concerned about it giving the impression that it's ok to do anything bad without any consequence.

As for that ad , well it's not like the fashion industry are known for being paragons of virtue , and it's pretty much dominated by other women and gay men anyway. I doubt that ad got made because of any misogynistic tendencies any straight men might have.

As for the dancing , well I could probably find dancing like that in ballet if I looked for it. Is there really much difference in simulating forceful sex and simulating rape in dance? I couldn't say, i've never really looked for it.
