Actually, in retrospect over the last two days, I believe I have changed my mind on this issue. When I first posted, I started with the words "I admit that rape has no place in entertainment." I believe I was in error. I can no longer say that rape situations have or don't have a place in entertainment, but it wouldn't matter because it is not my place to make that decision. The reason for that is simple: Video games are not real, they are fantasy. If someone has the inability to recognize this fact, then the issues lay with the consumer, not the entertainment. The simple solution to this has to be clear(er) markings on things that might offend someone. The man in this relevant escapist article [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/articles/view/features/9766-The-R-Word] has a right to be informed about a potential purchase or piece of entertainment he may be about to consume. The warning needs to be upfront and nigh-unavoidable. What is not the solution is demonizing those who may not be as offended by the material as he rightfully happens to be.
