i mean, obviously if he raped someone he deserves everything bad that happens to him but his accuser made a blog post and then disappeared forever. he will never be a convicted rapist, he will never be an acquitted rapist. for the rest of his life he will just be the accused rapist.

Yeah like Sephiroth said a lot of schools got cops in them after Columbine, we called them school resource officers too but they were really just cops on loan from the city PO.

The argument was that people were inappropriately injecting spookyness into the game, so I suggested removing the inappropriately suggestive spooky elements, which is totally reasonable because a plot line of finding out your sister ran off with her lesbian lover has nothing to do with an abandoned house and a literal dark and stormy night.

Let's not forget the fact that the alleged rape has absolutely no impact on his professional life, whereas the Five Guys incident does.

The only good example was God of War 2. Because what the gently caress was that poo poo? Is there some context to it, or is it just to show that Kratos is a brooding madman?
Never played it but doesn't seem to be any good context for it. God of War has always been highly sexualized. I can see how they can try to justify it with the roots in Greek mythology, but it's a good example of appealing to 13 year old boys.

Of course the argument could be made that they are trying to play to the audience, with the obvious counter-argument to that being would the audience be more inclusive if the game wasn't so overtly sexualizing women to begin with?

i mean, yeah, i get it. you could do that but it changes the entire experience. it's pretty clear that the weather/general creepiness is meant to play on the tension that perhaps something really bad happened. it's also supposed to be a pathetic fallacy. it just seems like a nitpick. also i might have misread your post at first sry

He pewdiepies it up a bit, and overplays his discomfort at the scares he is expecting, but this was the widespread understanding of the game at the time, that it was scary and unsettling. Were they trying to imply that lesbianism was the real monster all along?

Broken Age was really good. I'm still waiting for the second episode, but even with a cliffhanger the first one can pretty much stay on its own feet. Puzzles weren't too challenging, though, so I give it 9/10, because I'm a reasonable person.

Because rape is the ultimate evil and therefore exciting to read about, even if true or not. Oddly enough, no one has made a " I spit on your grave" video game yet, though.

Well anyone accused of a crime is fair game and well true. Just people should be mature enough to know that just because someone is accused doesn't mean they're guilty, and journalists should report that if someone is accused of a crime and is not charged and that there's nothing substantive should report it as such.

Instead they seem to want the poor guy to be ostracized to the point he kills himself just so they can feel morally superior to everyone.
