hmm, let me start my point with this, while i kinda of agree with you , rape is complicated, you see. because there is a "wrong way" to do rape and it would be far more counter productive than productive, you know that kinda of rape that really isn't rape but just sexual fetishizing of the victim kinda thing, that just displays the creepiness of who ever is in charge of the project. you don't want that, it in a sense is the same as other "tropes" like [all random black people in a film have to be ghetto to some degree] "trope" that isnt exactly how you want things to be portrayed and in the end its probably doing a negative.
next again while i do not want creatives create minds to be styfled to much ( but they are always stopped), rape is weird. its what i would define a human issue, because i can argue for days how i can justify killing a person, but rape its a horrible unnecessary thing that happens for no justifiable reason, i think the reason people shy away from that stuff in their entertainment is because they don't understand it, and they never will. sure they can get the scientific explanation on why someones does it, and what it does to the victim. but its still a gap between them and those involved in a rape, so its just a horrifying experience they cant on many levels connect to. race stuff in our entertainment is still tipped toes around despite you may think, especially in this video game business.
so i think it is a matter of it being done right, and who is going to actually engage in the entertainment.
