As soon as I saw the mod / hack of Grand Theft Auto V which
allows you to have a nude character rape another character, I imagined how many
people would be saying how terrible it was and that it “crossed the line”, or
even that it ruined other players’ game experience.
Get over yourselves, you twats. Firstly, it’s just puerile
humour in which a nude, glorified cartoon character pretends to bumfuck another
glorified cartoon character, pissing the player off in the process. So what? Is
this worse than a hack which blows up other players? Secondly, it occurs in a
game which celebrates violent crime.
The Huffington Post has a pathetically twee report in which they describe the phenomenon as "disturbing". Here, you can see some video screen grabs of these “rapes”
occurring. They are hilariously stupid. Here's some even better Youtube footage.
“Raping” characters in online games is not in any way the
same as raping people in real life. It’s just a more sophisticated (and often
less nasty) form of trolling. If you think otherwise, you’re the one with
problems.
For a more worrying example of idiots confusing fiction and reality, read my post on the Red Cross's campaign to "encourage" game developers and even legislators to make the rules of combat games adhere to international humanitarian law.
BTW, creating mods / hacks for GTA is pretty easy. Here’s a thread which explains
the basics and lists a few mods you can download.
