Can someone be "raped" in a video game

[Mistame]

No. But I think she certainly assaulted the English language.

[Torrasque]

Well, in all seriousness, in this case, her character was essentially raped. Not her, herself.

That said, this is a case of dick moves by dick people. Assholes are unfortunately common in online games. You have to learn how to avoid them, report them, and generally get them banned when you can by recording and uploading their harassment to proper moderation services. It's tedious, frustrating, and generally takes away from whatever else you're trying to do in the game, especially if you're not familiar with a game and are given a horrible first impression by these incidents being among your only knowledge of those games.

Pretty sure she was exaggerating it to draw attention and get donations, because that's fairly normal for female streamers. Just look at Kaceytron.

I could be wrong, though. For every few chicks who did this on purpose, it seems there are some who actually do believe in things like "e-rape."

True, maybe that's what she was doing. Either way it's not a normal reaction, she has issues.

People can't be raped in video games. They can undergo trauma of course, but it devalues actual rape to make the comparison.

I once was murdered in Call of Duty. It was horrible :/.

Trying to survive as a innocent wehrmacht soldier and bam you get a headshot. Gamers are toxic!

[Caerule]

At the ending of Fear 2, you get raped violently. It was disturbing. I thought this thread would be about something like that.

[Collegeguy]

I was raped on this forum so yes.

Come on, that's BS.
How many times have I charged at alliance scum with my Strawberry the orc warrior and yelled "I'm going to rape you" and only just smashed his skull.

So you skullfucked him?

[hulkgor]

Why would you give attention to someone like this? Seriously?

holy fuck, obnoxious as hell.

And no, please never compare anything like that to an actual rape.

[Daedius]

Morons claiming such things like that as rape are doing nothing more than making a mockery of the seriousness of actual rape...

[Strangebrew]

Yes look at how rampant rape culture is amongst loser gamers.... video games is full of rape..

And here I thought I was about to read about another bad David Cage game.

[Video Games]

Hell yeah you can. You better watch that tight boipucci.

[Kreo]

Oh look another thread designed to marginalize attempts to fight sexism/racism/bigotry by picking on a frivolous and misguided example. That's original.

This idiotic behavior is presented as rape, like actual rape. And people laughing at it's idiocy and offended what actual rape victims have been put in a same boat as this deranged lunatics. Where exactly is people are saying what sexism, racism and bigotry is ok and to be dismissed? And why are you bringing up those 3 separate form of harassment here? Or you implying what this girl is actually fighting said issues?
