Sometimes, you have to kill a guy. You never have to rape a guy.
POV: you’re in a self snitching competition and this is your opponent
What point are they even trying to make?
Sexual violence is much more difficult topic to deal with, writing-wise and a lot of media cant handle it well, video games or not.

Killing serves a purpose conditionally. Rape serves not a single one but the immorality of self.
Killing in games is usually an impersonal, quick moment of fun action that required some level of skill from the player. More often than not you’re killing “bad guys”, but this is obviously not always the case.
Raping in a game would be a horrific, unnecessary, long process of being immensely uncomfortable, unless you have no morals that is. Not to mention that rape *ALWAYS* has a victim, whereas killing can be justified. What would it be adding to the gameplay? Would these freaks want it to be a quick time event or something?
teaming up to shoot monsters as a fascist: 😄😄😄
teaming up to shoot monsters as harley quinn: 🤬🤬🤬
Nuance and well treaded discussions aside, I’ve always found rape a uniquely evil and unjustifiable crime.
Murder is bad, yes, but justifiable depending on the circumstances.
Rape is evil and never justifiable, and it speaks volumes about the content of your character if you try to make excuses for it.
I mean, there’s a difference between real life death and video gamey death. If someone enjoys killing in GTA or Red dead then fine, but if someone is playing some super realistic killing/torturing simulator then yeah, that person is fucked.
PORN GAMES FUCK
These people are such fucking babies they want every game to appeal to just them, but refuse to even consider buying the games that already do
… this is a complaint about not being able to rape more women in video games, isn’t it? Like that would be part of a normal gameplay loop same as killing zombies or some shit? Fuck off.
I hope one day all games actually force us to play as non-binary and non-white characters so that we won’t have to deal with these idiots.
4chan. 4chan never changes.
There’s an argument to be had that we as a species have cheapened the act of taking another human’s life through our stories, myths and legends so much that the act of murder for many doesn’t seem to carry the same moral gravitas than the act of rape, that being said it’s clear this asshole is mad cause he got told he’s a insane for thinking he should be allowed to rape characters in games
😨 wtf
i read the comments and one guy really tried to convince me that it should be allowed to rape women in videogames IF it was done tastefully ???? like how tf is that supposed to work…
Ok so just because I feel like there’s something interesting to discuss here, rape isn’t worse than murder (of course), however, the reason why videogames have had us killing people since forever is because “killing the enemy” is a simple, easy and satisfying win state (and it can also be made fun but that comes later), you either kill or you die and there’s gameplay opportunities on how you kill or if you respawn or if your team helps. It also makes it easier to give context, like we are in a war and so we kill, or we are in an adventure and giant spiders are in front so we kill them, or we are in a duel so we have to kill the enemy. Terrorists vs CTs, Aliens vs Humans, defending bases, cowboys, whatever, killing is something that you can try to make fun through context and also through gameplay, through skill expression or knowledge or whatever.
Raping is never something you can make fun or fair, you can’t justify it in contexts, it’s something people deal with and it’s deeply personal. Wanting to rape in a videogame is straight up psychopathic, or when it has been applied to gameplay it has been (at least in my opinion) made in bad taste and for shock value.
Edit: just to clarify, I think comparing them inherently is kind of sick and reading some of the other comments I with I hadn’t started mine like that. I’m leaving the original intact for honesty sake. I just think both suck, the reason why I felt that “rape isn’t worse than murder” is because I’ve met people that have recovered and lived happy lives after the event but generalising like that is just wrong when rape is such a personal matter. Both suck, both shouldn’t happen, I’m really sorry.
I can think of 1000 good reasons to kill someone but there are no good reasons to rape anyone. It’s that simple.
Also I feel like people think rape is worse than murder because the suffering is long lasting whereas the suffering with the murder is sort of over once it’s been done (for the victim at least)
Who the fuck thinks like this? It’s mostly about motive, no?
You can kill for lots of reasons: self-defense, preventing a greater evil, advancing some misguided objective. Killing can solve problems and that’s why it can be sympathetic. People find killing for fun disgusting, but not all killing is like that.
Rape is always about intentionally causing pain or short-term self gratification. It can’t have a noble or even understandable reason. It’s just some loser fucking up someone else’s life for a petty reason
People like these will never let my country look good bro wtf
What? Did SHAD BROOKS write this?? You know, the “sword guy”, the right wing youtuber who wrote the infamous “R4pe Book”? Sounds like something he would say…
Is this even a question? Go die.
if they share this sentiment, then i assume they would have no problem with their character also being raped, right? or are they gonna drop the pretense this isn’t just so they can fullfill their kink with female npcs only?
This image is a racist dog-whistle/engagement bait. Any time you see the indian flag on a 4chan post about rape, the point or “joke” is just to paint internet users from india as obsessed with rape. It’s a very well-established formula.

Gods above, never have I ever seen a more “check his harddrive” situation that this 😂
“pretend” killing isn’t remotely close to actual killing, but “pretend” rape is still very close to actual rape.
think of how children play pretend and act out killing each other in cops and robbers. it’s a pretend crime, but clearly innocent games.
but if one child “acted out” raping another, therapists and possibly law enforcemt would be involved. it’s clearly not innocent
tldr; because playing Cops and Robbers is pretty normal but playing Epsteins Island is really fucking unhinged
Well, I don’t expect apathetic sperm-brained moron to understand anyway.
The only logical conclusion here is to put less murder in games.
/uj Ethics aside for a moment (i think we can all agree what oop wants is fucked up), there’s no way to make rape a satisfying mechanic to the player (and im talking rape specifically, not cnc as a loophole).
There’s no justification for it, no matter how well you write it. Hell, the better/more realistic you write it, the worse it gets. I can’t think of any scenario where ppl don’t just stop playing within 20 minutes. Either because they’re uncomfortable or it’s just dogshit. And if they want their favorite games with added rape, that’s impossible because you’d have to change everything from the ground up.
Killing the big world-ending bad guy in games makes me feel like a badass underdog. Raping them would destroy my suspension of disbelief and ruin the whole game, at best.
**Tldr:** that’s a dogshit idea from every possible angle
There are good reasons for murder but none for rape
