Anytjing that marquis de sade wrote. Dont read it. Its the work of someone who pretended to "pose interesting questions" while write the worst rape fanfiction with his dick in his hand.

Trigger warning: just straight up awful assault

!There is a scene in which a father is forced to raped his underaged daughter and then gets shot while cumming inside her. The daughter of course gets spared. Oh wait no. She gets raped a gun point, mutilated and then rape killed again. Repeat this fof roughly 400 pages. Oh wow, so challenging and insightful! I truly believe that de Sade was horrified by this! Fuck off. !<

it is horrific - but you're missing some of the context.

De Sade partly wrote it as a fuck-you to the establishment in and of itself

Partly as a satire of the aristocracy - and you can't understate exactly how much he hated them - which is why he casts them as rapist pedophiles that prefer young boys

And partly as an attempt to catalog horrors of abuse and mental illness and the suffering of the common man at the hands of those in power
