I agree with that, tore. I think that the kind of person who'd believe "People like being raped" would be completely ignorant and oblivious to the way people think, but at the same time, from the number of rapings and cases of abuse we hear about, it is very likely that many people actually believe that this is the case. I imagine they will think that either as soon as they get going, the victim will realize how "fun" it is (I have no sympathy when the victim is a child), or that the victim's resistance makes sex more pleasurable, which of course it can't be.
I don't really know about hentai, since I'm too young and innocent to watch cartoon porn, but I'm guessing there's loads of rape in there. I could infer from that that the sort of people who watch hentai will start to see rape as normal and something insignificant. I would not underestimate the power that the media one engages with can recondition the way one thinks in the most horrible and depraved way.

I hardly think most rapists think that their victims actually enjoy the rape. Raping in most cases stems from a desire to exercise power over other people.

Power rape

For these rapists, rape becomes a way to compensate for their underlying feelings of inadequacy and feeds their issues of mastery, control, strength, authority and capability. The intent of the power rapist is to assert their competency. The power rapist relies upon verbal threats, intimidation with a weapon, and only uses the amount of force necessary to subdue his victim.

The power rapists tends to have fantasies about sexual conquests and rape. They may believe that even though the victim initially resists them, that once they overpower their victim, the victim will eventually enjoy the rape. The rapist needs to believe that the victim enjoyed what was done to them, and they may even ask the victim to meet them for a date later.

Because this is only a fantasy, the rapist does not feel reassured for long by either their own performance or the victim's response. The rapist feels that they must find another victim, convinced that this victim will be "the right one". Hence, their offenses may become repetitive and compulsive. They may commit a series of rapes over a short period of time. This is the most common type of rapist in the United States.

They nurture a fantasy or idea that a person might like to be raped and this helps justify the violent act. I worry that rape pornography (like hentai where non-consensual sex is very common) can both make rape seem attractive to the viewers as well as support the fantasy that some women like to be raped.
