Skip to bold for the jist!
There are a few reasons **** as an in game action has never entered into a mainstream online computer game in the US, not sure about other countries, and they mainly deal with the fact that you are either asking the user to do something so horrible and life shattering that it just can't be put into a context of fun. No matter how you put **** into a game it can't be fun, unless there is something wrong with the person playing the game with **** that they'd actually find that situation enjoyable to play. Then what do you do after you **** someone, you kill them? In an online game, all you have left after **** is murder really.
That assumes you're the one raping, which also assumes a desire to **** in the first place. PKs were one kind of hunter, but Player-Rapists (PR)? That would consist of some seriously sick people who had some issues about sex and dominating others that they wanted to express.
So now lets say you are the victim of a PR, your character can't move, maybe there are more than one PR there and you have no chance of escape, they've already taken your armor and weapons, it's theirs now, and you're theirs now too. So for as long as these PR feel the need to Virtually Gang **** you your stuck, powerless, and being used in the worst way possible.
An let us not forget how much of a turn-off a ****-Enabled game would be to a woman looking to play an MMO, "Hmmmm, 'WoW' or 'Awesome Quest With Virtual Raping' because you know that women would be instantly turned off by the idea of being, you know, ****D. So it would be a bunch of dudes raping each other to proved they are better Awesome Quest players. God forbid one of them used the female character model in game, cause lets be realistic, looking like a woman with all the curves and beauty of an athletic warrioress would be like putting a target directly on her ass, literally. So the game would be populated by Men playing as Men with a few Elite Men playing as Women, or Men playing as Women who like to watch the ****, or any other sort of disturbing scenario you may conjure.
So, logically knowing this why would men play if they knew there advances, well, ****s were against men and not some woman they have delusionaly dreamed up on the other end of the tubes enjoying every second of her ****.
They wouldn't play it, a game with **** is like giving the green light to the ultimate griefer tactic.
Darrel: "What happened to you Rick? You're walking funny."
Rick: "Well Darrel; I got ****d while I was mining, then I got ****d at the market buying apples for my horse, then I got ****d walking home, and then when I got HE was there and he ****d me for 45 minutes before he left. So, I'm a little sore in the rear area."
Darrel: "Damn, that's a pretty easy day man, I got ****d 37 times one day."
So, in an online game, it will never happen cause it takes control away from the player and gives total control to another player, its demoralizing and demeaning, it all but removes the female demographic from your game, it would come down to men raping men to see who ****d the most. Also the people who would want to **** others and would enjoy the mechanic would be seriously messed up, as in "That player escape from my raping, I'm going to find him in Real Life and kill his dog." kind of crazy.
!!!HOWEVER!!!
I think **** in single player gaming experiences can be used to develop characters and events in a powerful way that could move the player, or see into darker sides of characters, or all manner of uses for storytelling. As in I recently saw The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and the **** scene in that really disturbed me and made me hate the character that did it, I hated watching it, but I saw it for what it was for, a drastic way to develop the character of the rapist. That could also be used in games.
I never think we should have direct control of Raping an NPC or Player, we can be the victim and try to escape sure, and even the rapist, but the actions for the rapist have to be carefully chosen so as not to make it to visceral and definitely has to make it look as horrible of a thing as it is.
Also, any and all **** content in any game should never be tied to a trophy, gamer score, achievement, completion, and should be skip able. Bad things have happened to a lot of people and they may not want to go through it again virtually.
And that's all i have to say, which was a lot.
No idea if anyone even remembers me, lol.
