About the word "rape" in games - please take a look

No, unless you are specifically conditioned for these words to be triggerwords (or under some really, really, REALLY weird circumstances), they are not.

So evidently, people who suffered traumatic attacks by male homosexuality, people who were sexually violated (not necessarely rape) by perverts through pokemons (yes pedophiles often take interest in childhood toys such as pokemons to "connect" to the child) and people whose families were killed by American drone attacks are not large enough groups of people to be spotted on your "care"-radar. (And surely it is possible that yet another small group can feel agony when they see or hear the word "fiddlesticks" XD)

You draw the line at whatever % of the population that has ever been raped. What if I draw the line at 5 times that amount? It is an arbitrary line anyhow, so why not draw it there?

I cant believe people defend the word rape and compare it to other comparatively harmless swear words.

What has happened to this world where people want to use the word rape in a game and defend that at all costs?

A world that Voltaire very much approves of in that specific regard.

Yes, this is exactly the case. My "care-radar" extends to words that are obvious and known (to me). I think that's better than having no "care-radar" at all.

This is just silly.

I mean really guys, stop try to restrict others to use words because It's wrong.
Who's the one who says which words are correct to say and which are not?

This dilemma is just sick, just be a civil person and try to be nice to others etc etc.... I mean, joking about rape can be fun but with people you know that wont get harmed by it. Like everything else.

Bleh.
