I think it comes down to intent.
There are things such as literature and film that address rape, even graphically, but it can be argued that these are representations for artistic purposes—critique, analysis, etc.
However, in this case, what we have is: "Dude, you're the rapist! Go to it!"
Do we think this is art here?
