As long as your sexuality is played out in a consentual fashion (or in this case a virtual fashion), then what's the big deal?[COLOR="DarkSlateGray"]

First of all, I hardly need you to tell me the history of rape. It is irrelevant. Rape in the past, and largely in the present, was not a form of Saturday night entertainment. My objections to this game are not based on my objections to rape - which are objections prob. shared by most of the people on this board.
Second of all, I really don't need you to tell me about kinkiness, particularly about rape fantasies. My objections to the extension of fantasy to the realm of what could loosely be considered non-consensual roleplaying is that there is no mutually agreed upon 'control' - it's a free-for-all with one participant in control. And not just played out in the mind, but being visualized
for you with sight and sound. I think it crosses the line from fantasy into something else...that I don't have a name for.
Thirdly, before someone tries to force the moniker of 'censor' onto me, I have no desire to see these games banned. What I would like to see is less people finding these things to be acceptable - and that includes any ultra violent forms of role-playing, not just these games.
