DarkBattler: I am sorry to chime in, but for me, this argument never works, because in the vast majority of FPS games, people are shooting at you, and you have to shoot them back in order to stay alive. If they are stupid enough to keep going after you, after you killed ten thousands of their friends, they really deserve to die. Rape, on the other hand, is never rightfully provoked.
That being said, I have nothing against Evenicle, only the argument I responded to. I do not intend to play this game, but if you want to do it, you do not have to justify it.
TheGrimLord: Then do me a favor. Don't let me catch you walking around with any sharp or blunt object that could be used as a murder weapon. Why? You most likely own movies where cold blooded killers like Jason and Michael Myers kill people in cold blood. For the beginning of those films, ain't nobody fighting back. A man has his head on today, but it's on the ground tomorrow. If you have engaged in any content where cold blooded killers just murder people, then you are just as much in the same boat you're putting me, with your minority report tactics, sir.
I've played a lot of these, so by your logic I'm the worst rapist in the whole world. Yet, I've never done anything remotely like that. I have female friends who are rape victims. You know how they look at this stuff? As it not being real. The only people who get upset about this stuff are beta male white knights and land whales who don't know the first thing about hygiene and cry because they're oppressed.
"OMG, the poor anime girl!"
Meanwhile, these are the same people who will declare, "Where are her organs?" and "this cartoon character looks underage!" These people would have never survived the nineties. Can we go back to the days when everything was the devil? Please?
May I ask you to reread my message, if possible calmly this time? I feel like you answered someone else.
For exemple, your second point is coming out of nowhere. You can play whatever you want, I do not care. I just said that I did not want to play this specific game, I never said why, and I certainly never said anything about the people who want to. Also, I absolutely believe that you have female friends who are rape victims that do not care about rape in works of fiction, because I happen to have a ton of friends who each survived different serial killers, and they are perfectly fine with anything that portrays violent murders, because after all, it is not real. It makes so much sense...
About your first point, it was kind of odd. Of all the Halloween and the Friday the 13th movies, the only one I like is the original Halloween, and when I first watched this movie, I never rooted for Michael Myers, I rooted for Laurie Strode.
You see, when I engage in any content where cold blooded killers just murder people, I am not on the side of the killers, I want their potential victims to survive. Also, I do not know what you mean by my "minority report tactics".
I will try to conclude as clearly as possible. With my first post, I was just responding to an argument I did not agree with, because I thought the comparison used was not very good. I never tried to report or shame anyone.
Look, I do not want to rape in video games, but this is just about me. If you do, then do it as much as you want. As long as it is in a video game, I do not have a problem with that. You are free to do whatever you want. If you are comfortable with the type of entertainment you enjoy, then you do not have to justify yourself to anyone.
