Tomb Raider Dev: Rape is Not in Our Vocabulary

[Montezuma's Lawyer]

I don't even get the problem.

There is no rape in the game either way.
There IS an npc who might conceivably have the intention to commit rape, or at least feels a bit rape-y.
Said npc then gets fought off (and, in my Mind-Vision-Version at least, he also gets his nuts crashed).
So no rape happens.

So why the fuss ?

Spoken like someone who doesnt quite understand how rape affects people.

But no rape happened. It's barely attempted rape. But people are all up in arms claiming there is a rape scene in the trailer. Maybe I'm watching the wrong trailer, but there doesn't seem to be.

Men. When we're not being thrown into rape statistics, we're being told our opinion doesn't mean shit because herp derp male privilege.

Yea, I forgot what a 'privilege' it is to be blamed for everything wrong in culture and society.

Ha, this too!

Speaking as a person who has been raped, I can see you just dont get it.

Nobody is going to be offended by attempted murder if they're been murdered, they're dead.
EVERYONE is going to be offended by attempted rape if they've been raped, because we deal with it every day of our god damn lives.

being upset over nothing.

I'd like to say many things to you, most of which involve you doing certain things to yourself, but I'd prefer to not be banned.

But you just told a rape victim that they're upset over nothing, on the subject of rape.



I hope you never have to feel the way I've felt....

The subject of rape, which is not even in the damn trailer. So many of these rape victims wouldn't have to endure this "trauma" of rape being brought up all the time, if people didn't scream rape at nothing. I'd say you are causing more of a problem by screaming about rape with little to no provocation you are causing more "triggers" then I am.

And perhaps if you didn't get so needlessly emotional, you would be able to see my point instead of throwing a little tantrum on the internet.

maybe they might've just packed a bit too much into the trailer demo lol

Yeah we can't have a female protagonist getting raped in a game, everyone knows games are for children so rape should never be a part of them.

Now men getting raped, like in Fear 2, is perfectly fine.

So many things wrong with the gaming "community" today. My hands are not big enough for the facepalm in my soul.
