Don ' t you know about the Byrd ? Well everybody knows that the Byrd is the word ! 6 GrwWCidrg <| sep |> Okay , I ' ll try not to let it slip . <| sep |> If rape had no reason of existing surely wouldn ' t have existed from the very moment two living creatures existed . What are you serious ? Just because it happens doesn ' t mean there ' s a good reason for it for fuck ' s sake , what kind of insensitive bullshit is this ? And why paint war and violence with such a broad brush to say Its important off hand , but then with rape you gather your thoughts and efforts so as to not trivialize it . War is often trivialized in media unfortunately , but it has its place despite its horrors and there ' s great works and discussions centered around it . Rape is a fucked up offense that has no place existing at all , but occurs despite that . Surely an event involving thousands upon thousands of people fighting and dying and literally destroying the fabric of a civilization made by their fellow man would be MORE horrible than an act between a mere two individuals . It ' s not a competition . Rape serves no purpose except to harm . But to quote St . Augustine , all war is a sin , and a sin that we must live with . War is a last resort , when no alternative is available , and the meanings of that can be and should be explored in media . A lot of media trivializes violence as well , but if it can do so in compelling ways and for games to make decent gameplay I can accept that . Rape has zero justification as gameplay , nor is there anything to explore besides the psychology of the offender and how it hurts the victim . As such , I ' m perfectly fine with games avoiding such topics . I ' d also be fine with games avoiding violence in general , but we ' re way past the point of no return with that so I ' m not about to make bones of it . Would love more titles examining it like Spec Ops The Line though . I ' m fine with drawing the line at rape and sexual assault . Hits very close to home for too many people .
