It's an adult game; they can put whatever they want in it. Why is it only video games that people get so high-rate about? Nobody would care if it was in a book, and probably not for films.

Don't give me that "Oh, why do video games get picked on all the time?!?!". You know what, yes sir, you are right, Video games are not fairly judged like other mediums and should be. HOWEVER, just because something is in it's infancy doesn't make it prone to criticism. AND FOR THE LAST FUCKING TIME, I'M NOT OFFENDED BY THE RAPE SCENE. I said it was badly placed and shittly designed, which can happen any medium depending on the specific situation.
Okay, let's say it was indeed badly placed and designed. So what? It wouldn't be the first time something bad made its way into a videogame. Why is this worth making a thread about in particular?
For the same reason anyone makes threads about mechanics and elements they dislike. The same reason we see people complaining about Vigors in Bioshock: infinite, and complaining about escort mechanics in Resident Evil, or about tailing missions in Assassin's Creed, or to complain about Free to play games and their mechanics.
This is a game forum, so talking about elements and mechanics we don't like in games, and why we don't like them, is pretty much exactly what this forum is for. People create threads like this to see who agrees with them, and to see the reasons why someone may disagree with them.
It's the same as when I create a thread about hating escort missions in games. I want people to commiserate and agree with my opinion, whilst also seeing the reasons that other may disagree with me and why they think escort missions are perfectly fine, or even great. Ideally, by the end of the thread, I'll have had an interesting conversation with those who agree with me, and a civil (and entertaining), even if perhaps futile, debate with those who disagree with my opinion or assertations.
