Rape story lines in Soaps are generally raising awareness, not there for men to act our their rape fantasies

How did I know it wouldn't be long before men would be defending this...

Hello International Womens Day!
How about you actually try to read what I ****ing said before you make me out that I'm defending rape?! Utterly disgusting of you to disregard what's been said to tar an opposing opinion with such an accusation.

You made a dumb point about arresting people for fiction that, if it actually happened, would inevitably impact all representation of the issue since you were equating a fictional crime with a real one. I'm not defending the game, I think it's gross and it shouldn't be released but what you said is both hysterical and utterly harmful for all creative ventures that aren't sick ploys for attention like this game is.

but you are happy for this individual to carry on touting his wares to other companies with no censure so you are condoning it, so less of the hysterical outrage please

Wrong again, stop reading into what isn't there and and stick to what I've actually wrote because you keep getting it so very wrong.

I think the game is disgusting and I don't think any other company will take it on either. I don't really believe in censorship in most of it's forms, I believe with gross things like this, it's up to society to act and make it difficult for this game to ever find a platform to make money on and that's what has happened.

I don't think being angry at being accused of defending rape is hysterical at all, I think it's very reasonable and I'm waiting for your apology for such an uncalled for accusation.

Expecting people to be charged for fictional crimes is there is no evidence of an actual crime though? That ****'s ridiculous and, if it were to ever happen, it would set a dangerous precedent that would affect all coverage of difficult subjects.

Hello International Womens Day!


I haven't defended anything.

Maybe take some time out from congratulating yourself on your gender and read what was actually written.

You have suggested this man's details be passed to the police. On what grounds? Could you state his actual crime?

It's a crime to draw/animate your own pornography?

Hello International Womens Day!
Skjskjs all the posts defending depicting rape in games (and it not being a crime to depict it) apart from like one also hate the game put forward in the op. Are you honestly suggesting it’s a crime to depict crime? Unless it’s in some low grade soap opera of course!
Fwiw games can be a very mature and diverse medium. Many many games have done a great job of raising awareness of mental health, societal issues etc. This game clearly isn’t one of them btw
