I tend to agree with you Cyn. There's really nothing about rape that is any worse than being a serial killer, yet GTA isn't pulled from (many) shelves.
They're both examples of video games letting people indulge in the most base of fantasies. Whether it's actually harmful or not is, I think, open to debate. Yes, you get the occasional kid who shoots up a school and immediately gets the latest shooter video game in trouble because of it. But if an adult plays the rape game, does it follow that he will then go out and rape some woman? What do you guys think. Personally, I think not. After all, I've played Deus Ex, but you don't see me shooting poisoned crossbow darts at people.
