Fantasies are fantasies, and I don't pretend to want to limit those but making a video game that can be bought (about the adult rating, previous posters have shown that it's not that hard of a restriction) is going a bit far in my opinion.
You're entitled to what you think, though, and I hope that like you said most rape victims won't ever have to know the game exists or at least be able to get it off their minds.

I realize that, sorry. And how is an Adult rating easy to get around?
AO games can not be sold/rented at normal stores. You'd have to have a parent that'd get it for you. Adult stores wouldn't just allow a random young person in.
Again, I never said that rape is okay, I know rape is horrible, and can/will traumatize the victim (I have fantasies, and believe me, the only reason I don't is because of the trauma it'd cause the victim). But pixels raping pixels is not hurting anyone.
