There's a reason the other thread was locked: entitled young white men

Physical violence is humdrum in video games, doesn't have nearly as much personal impact on a great many people - physical violence is familiar in media, and yet abstract in a relatively peaceful society, and so we more easily recover from it. Also, injured people get help and care. Sexually assaulted people get blamed and essentially tortured.

I'd rather a creator who can step back and think about how to refine something with their audience in mind, over one who hamfistedly crams in potentially harmful ideas aiming for 'shock value'.
If you aren't getting your meaning across, you need to work on your delivery.

Amazing how you have bought into the hardcore feminism sponsored rape-hysteria.
The garbled sentence structure and strange arrangement of concepts in what you wrote reminded me of 1984's newspeak in a way, for some reason (though it really has nothing to do with it formally speaking). Tell them to go easy with the brainwashing.

Not sure if this is satire or not, at this point.

Also fun that you used hysteria, an archaic word used to habitually dismiss women's sexual agency. Freudian slip?

This thread is still going? Seems pretty clear at this point that they're going to pull the near-rape occurrence from the game. Obviously the author found it in his interest to adhere to the complaints. It's the smart thing to do if you're riding on the success of a previous title.

If this weren't a sequel, and was developed by an unknown, it's possible the reaction may have been (somewhat) different because there is no established fanbase. There would still be complaints, but the "play it, or don't. You know what to expect" angle would be more justifiable imo because fan needs and entitlement are removed. It would narrow a potential fanbase, mind you, but that would be understood.
