rape is something that they say has happened or will happen to 1 in 3 of the women in the room you're sitting in right now
Jesus.. Do you live in Saudi Arabia or something?
Murder and death are of course bad things, but we have a back drop of seriousness we can put it against. Rape... a lot of people still trivialise it to a great degree.
That would be a valid point if it was true.
If anything, murder is much more trivialized on BM.
As it should be because its a game, btw.
Plus there is a considered to be different levels of murder too (killing combatants in war as opposed to killing in passion or killing civilians), with enough differentiation between them in all eras. I can say that my particular knight does not like killing civilians or collateral damage, but being a warrior is his profession and war is an unhappy business.
I'm perfectly fine with characters having opinions about stuff.
What I don't understand is OOC drama.
The argument "is rape worse than death?" comes up a lot in the real world.
Okay, that's not a real argument.
