I even saw Godwin's Law being breached.

While I resentfully agree that the game should not be banned, I'm Pissed that people have allowed it to come to market. I'm not referring to the ethics behind it, I'm referring to the damage that the release will do to most rape victims. I'm fully aware that there are a few rape victims that haven't been scarred by the act, some of the above posters are prime examples of that. And If you aren't a rape victim, then don't even pretend to know how much, or little, damage the mere concept of this game being marketed can have for most rape victims. I don't pretend to know either. But because this thread was not, for a good while, marked as "triggering", I spent most of the day trying to wrench the horrors from my innocent lover's mind.

"1 out of every 6 American women have been the victims of an attempted or completed rape in their lifetime (14.8% completed rape; 2.8% attempted rape).1" -- rainn.org/get-information/statistics/sexual-assault-victims
How would it damage rape victims if it came to market?
What would it do to people who DON'T ASSOCIATE THEMSELVES WITH THIS GAME? It's a game that won't be like sold at Wal-Mart... You'd have to go to an Adult store or something to get it. Rape victims won't have to play this game, or even think about it...
