What should I think instead? It's actually good and cool to enjoy simulated sexual assault and sexual violence on someone else. You can enjoy scenarios where you perform sexual assault, as long as you have consent, which is never influenced by social circumstances or relationship dynamics. Like, I consent to getting a job, but there's still critiques of work, and I can't really not have a job.
How is that not liberalism? You obeyed the one rule so it's fine. We don't need to look into the underlying dynamics or ask why these fantasies exist. It's just human nature to want to pretend to assault or torture someone.
I think I have a slightly more fleshed out thought than "white knighting", aka whenever a guy has any problem with the way women are treated. What other gamergate terms apply to me? Am I virtue signalling as well?
