I think while these reasons are logical, I think it's not necessarily healthy for our society to put rape on a negative pedestral as some super-special unearthly level of unspeakable horror.
It just makes it harder for victims to come to terms with it. For thousands of years, rape was considered a crime for damaging the father's husband's "property", and it was hard on victims because of that. Now we are starting to put this BS behind us, but maybe it is not much better to tell rape victims that if their own right to their body being violated, that is a huge tragedy, and worse than death, and that it will be a traumatic experience.
Though entirely *trivializing* rape would also be a bad idea, because then just more of it would happen, and I doubt that a culture where no one is troubled AT ALL by getting raped is possible. But at least making it less of a taboo and just treating it as a shitty thing that sometimes happens, would surely help. Maybe a move towards rape fetishists being able to openly enjoy such games, would be a right step towards it.
