Benhouse, Radical and Rausch,
Thanks for the comments guys. I'll try and address each of the various points as succinctly as possible...
You forgot my point.
Using the word "rape" in an online game is not some kind of longstanding tradition. I know people who have been gamers for quite some time, and this term hasn't been around more than a few years. Some trash talk is fine between friends, but that's not what this is.You are giving power to complainers for something that has never been an issue for the last 15 years of AOC gaming.
Second, games are not the last place where telling someone you "raped" them is ok -- it's not okay to say that to strangers in any place. I'd even caution you about using that term around friends. Rape victims in general don't advertise, and you have no idea when you'll be in our company.
