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.

I understand your point in that murder-based games can be just as traumatizing and so we can compare banning this to banning other violent games, and I think that's the main reason that calls to ban it aren't completely reasonable.
However, I'd like to point out that while a lot of posts express negative opinions about the game, few of us still want to ban it; first of all, because now that it's coming out that would be almost impossible to do so; second, because if it's blocked this time someone else will likely just make another version. I agree that if this was to be blocked, theoretically we would have to block every murder/theft game as well. However, we're allowed to dislike the idea of this game and express the wish to have this game limited with as many restrictions as possible. I still consider it as insulting towards rape victims as a murder game is to someone who's lost a loved one, and a really distasteful idea.
