Think about it. Girls are more likely to be sexually assaulted than guys. The guys don't make such a big deal because they probably haven't or will never be sexually assaulted, therefore, they can't emotionally connect with this issue...

I'm not saying to ban it or sell it. What I'm saying is that guys should see this issue through a woman's eyes, since it affects us most. Imagine being a rape victim and coming across this video game.
I'm a girl, and i don't think it should be banned. I think people need to understand that this is JUST a video game and not real life. Although i can understand that a rape victim coming across this video game would be affected by it, i don't think that's reason enough for it to be banned. ANYTHING can trigger people, so if we're going to go around banning anything that could upset or offend, we'd be banning everything, and that's obviously ridiculous.

Of course, i don't think this game is particularly tasteful or pleasant, but nor are a lot of things in this world. Maybe my opinions would be different if i was a rape victim, i don't know.
