It completely makes sense to me. But I'm also coming from decades in the horror genre.
Supernatural 1: Saving People, Hunting Things - the Family Business
[NAFDA]. This is where we talk about the CW series Supernatural! Anything that's aired in the US (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though -- if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it.
smonster, your list makes total sense to me.
I still need to watch that freakin' vid.
Austin, I grabbed your quote merely as representative.
I think you were right to use it. I was interchanging the terms incorrectly. I would agree with your definitions. I do think that that particular Darla/Angel scene was maybe violent sex in theory, but was sexualized violence in application. Showing a beautiful, young, human-looking woman being thrown through glass and enjoying it as foreplay (despite knowing she is a vampire and could handle it), strikes me as the latter. She was filmed in beautiful young woman mode, not vampire demon mode. I love the show, that scene just always bothered me.
And talking about the impala's bench seats takes me to a completely different place. One of good and right and true sex. It is the land of happy.
Well, I certainly didn't create the vid, and I've only watched it twice. So this is IMHO, cutting and pasting from upthread:
Here's a breakdown of tropes I see in the vid:
- Women as victims (frequency)
- The sexualization of violence through staging and filming (women scantily clad, dying in bedrooms, etc.)
- Evil women, with or without a sexual component to their evilness (Woman in White, Crossroads demon, Meg)
I'd have to watch it again to see if I think sexual violence should be added to that list.
Glad the definitions seem clear to people who aren't in my head.

I think this is a good example of overlapping areas - sexualized violence and violent sex. I would still say not sexual violence, but even that could be debated. Excellent point that Darla was filmed in woman mode, not vampire mode. Now I want to rewatch that scene and pay attention to the camera angles and such.
Wow. I haven't posted this prolifically on Buffistas in YEARS. Wow.
eta - and I've killed the thread. FTW!
etaa - juliana, looking forward to hearing your reaction on the vid. i think you'll like it, for values of like that include "deeply disturbed."
You haven't killed the thread! I just decided Working At Home included popping in a DVD and watching Route 666.
RUN, MR ROBINSON!!! Run!!!
Nooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ah, the sweet smell of cheese.
Oh, cranky Sam.
You know, she's wooden, but she's very pretty.
juliana, be warned that the vid will possibly earworm you. I never thought I'd contemplate buying that song (or heck, anything by that performer) off of iTunes, but I can't get it out of my head.

Well, shit, since I decided Working at Work involved extensive posting in this thread, that sounds fair.
sisabet's post about the vid. (she's a co-creator)
Jilli, I've been earwormed too, but I actually love that song. Put it on my bestest mix tape ever, the one that chronicled a seriously fucked up relationship and the aftermath. "Violet" ended Side One. Oh, mix tapes.
I love that song, too.
My Working at Home today has included reading here, reading porn, and watching reruns of Top Chef. Also, possibly, writing a little porn.
My boss is very understanding.
smonster, I love that you're here! And I think that's a great list of definitions.
