I think there's some degree of understanding that eludes a mere discription of brutality, inasmuch as witnessing a violent act firsthand is a very different experience than reading an account in the newspaper. I think that depictions of such brutality have the potential to bridge that gap (the depiction falling somewhere in between).
I'm curious to know how people would compare this game to a rape fantasy. Is going through such a scenario in your head, or acting one out with your partner, comparable to playing a rapist in a video game?
