yeah see i understand that to an extent...but i mean people have brothers/fathers killed in the war etc, and there are still war games that are very widley accepted. i don't think that being raped is any more or any less traumatic then losing a boyfriend, a husband or a brother to death and i have no personal experience of either, but it hink any rape vitctem who says they'd rather have their close family or friend killed rathaer than be raped is a little unusual and any person whose lost a family or friend who says they wouldn't rather be raped then lose their husband or brother to death is also unusual.
neither are fun, and both are still games and particularly the war games are very accepted. so i think it's unfair for people to say this game shouldnt be realeased based on the fact that it's hurtful to be raped unless those people stating that also think all games that show any form of death or extreme violence should also be removed, including road games etc where people might have lost mothers/brothers etc in car crashes.
if the people who think this should be banned also feel all of those other games should be banned too, well that's not my opinion, but at least their opinion becomes a bit more rational.
i understand rape is particlarly violating as oppsed to having a friend killed which doesnt violate you in the same way, but the hurt and the loss is still their and i think it's reasonable to compare them in this context.
