Good god mate, quit overexaggerating and overthinking like a 50 years old soccer mom with 10 children, which is what I suspect you might be.
It's just another criteria for getting the real pirate feeling, whilst remaining in the VIRTUAL realm of a VIDEO GAME.
It's not like I would, say, fap to it if it was there. It's just there for the aesthetic. A small detail that, combined with other small details, creates immersion. We, as curious human beings, seek out new experiences - even harmful experiences, to us or to others - and a VIDEO GAME, or a MOVIE, allows you to have the said experience, which stays inside the virtual realm of the VIDEO GAME if you allow it to, and has no impact on the real world. This is called "SIMULATION".
Why did you have to make a fuss about it? it seems that everyone else here understands that it's a part of the aesthetic and isn't some sort of a sick fantasy. You are like those fussy girls who call people perverts when they look at their bum/breasts, thinking that they are having some sort of weird sexual fantasies about them. Human nature, my friend - don't overthink it.

Yes, I'm sure there are a ton of those on Gamespot. :roll:

Maybe you will and maybe you won't. I have no idea why you want it.

Actually, -nobody- here knows that. The people who have sided with you are assuming that, but they don't know you any better than I do. All we actually know is that you're the guy who asked for a game in which you can rape women.

Here's one of the specific problems I have with your request:
While I don't believe in censorship for games or movies, there are certain topics that should be handled tastefully. Games are still a relatively new industry and are clamoring for mainstream acceptance, but it's been an uphill battle all the way. When Conservative right wingers attack games, one of the specific talking points used in the past was about GTA IV (a popular and mainstream game) and how there was rape content in the game. Fortunately, this is easily defensible because it's complete bullsh!t and there is no such content in this or -any- mainstream game (besides obscure porn games from Japan, to my knowledge). I'm not talking about the implied threat of sexual violence to add tension to the story or as a set-piece for revenge, I'm talking about your character raping someone. Movies, obviously, have a much wider latitude than games, but can you think of many movies (besides porn) in which the main character rapes another character? Why do you think that is?
I don't care if there is sex, violence, or even sexual violence if it's handled tastefully as is part of the story. Nobody is going to watch the movie Irréversible and think "gee, that's hot" (at least nobody I ever want to meet). The rape scene in that movie is traumatizing as f*ck, but that's the point. It's the setup for a horribly brutal revenge epic. Asking for a game to include the ability to rape women as an "aesthetic" is not handling the subject tastefully.
Games have a hard enough time as it is. A game that let you do what you have asked for would just be ammo for another nail in the censorship coffin on gaming as a whole.
