Why is showing rape such taboo in video games?

You're gonna be fucked if he turns out to be the Crow.

>Immaturity is rampant. Part of that has to do with people simply living longer than ever. There are less expectations to "grow up" or mature at a certain age.
There is no rules for life. Unless you're American. Living alone is great experience if you never live alone before. There is literally nothing outstanding and impressive.

Do it to own the libs

There are a lot of rules to life. If you don't behave in a manner acceptable to your society you won't do very well.

For me personally its alot about believability and it helps flesh out worlds. Like if GOT didnt have rape, it would miss alot of the tension.

Just think of worlds like that of Witcher or Berserk. Without the rape alot of the sinister tension that persists in those worlds is amiss. The rape of Casca is a defining moment in Berserk. When the apostles raid a village or something, you have this very real crutching feel that something bad is gonna happen beyond just killing.

Goblin Slayer is abit sillier with its use of rape, but the fact Goblin Slayer is so motivated to slaughter goblins is convincing when you are shown just how evil Goblins are. It makes this generic mob enemy feel alot more sinister and evil and it sets an effective tone.

Without those thematics, alot of games (yes, those including female characters too), feel like they fall alot flatter on their world building cause you have these awful brigands that steal and kidnap and kill, but RAPE? Oh nononono thats impossible, nobody can be so mean as to put his pecker in a poor innocent lad/lass, now can they?

We all know its crap. Its not a glorification of rape as much as it is an acknowledgement that its a powerful device to use.

Because, as we've discussed multiple fucking times on this board, rape is literally one of the few crimes that has no excuse. You can justify theft, murder, destruction- There is no moral, ethical, or legal justification for rape. It's an edgy crutch for retards.

I don't know. Maybe they're the ones reading too many doujin and projecting too much into the story, like "giant" being a key element that never existing.

This was the first thing I questioned. Honestly, I don't know why they didn't other than just having issues gathering their thoughts in the heat of the moment. Neither of the parents thought to get a knife, and when she asked them later why they didn't their response was "oh yea..."

I'd rather not give a name since it's so specific that googling it brings up little results. Bringing him into the thread by name would almost certainly make his this thread traceable - and as much as I need to vent about this I know she would be horrified of me telling her story anonymously. It's rather selfish of me, but I need to vent too. It's something I'm still personally dealing with as well. I still love this girl and still want to help her get better from this.

Even that aside, there actually doesn't seem to be articles written about him. If it made news, I'm sure it'd have been local. Not every instance makes it into stories, and I'm thinking you guys are making this out to be way larger of a "story" than it was. I personally find it newsworthy but realistically not every incident is worth media attention. For every rape report you see a story about, I'm sure there are plenty others just as attention grabbing that go without much more than a brief mention between news segments as filler. I do get his criminal record on google search, the date it happened, the charges held against him (he also has a previous record, this isn't his first time in jail) and things like his previous work history. From an outsider's perspective, it's pretty much just which isn't THAT interesting of a story. But what I personally went through, as well as what she did, is personal stuff that doesn't really translate well into a compelling news article, I'd think.

Literally fake.
