Has anyone else been raped in Red Dead Redemption 2?

LMAO. I just sat down at camp and Bill came up to me and said, "I met this strange feller at the swamp."

Arthur: "Did ya now?"

Bill: "Yeah. He seemed to know all about ya. I mean ALL about ya.. "

Then Arthur goes, "Get out a here...", but in a voice that was more like "ah quit ragging on me about that you ol' knucklehead"

Arthur: "Well, don't let me bother you"

Bill: "Alright"

And everything goes on normally.

Why did you ignore the content of 3 posts, including the one you quoted, in order to spend so much time attacking a straw man that I already ruled out? We can't have a productive discussion if I have to keep pointing back to things I already said to answer your questions.

Grow up or just play Teen or E rated games. This isn't a debate that should even be happening in 2018....

Let the adults play Mature rated titles and move on.

I don't know if you understand this but that video has nothing to do with the scenario in RDR2. So again, why would people be offended by a strong female character taking action against someone who attacked her?

Repeating the same argument against a stance I never even argued for (and even explicitly ruled out) doesn't do you any good. You are talking to your own imagination. Someone who doesn't exist. An opinion that has not been expressed in this thread. It's not my fault if you ignore what I actually say and instead choose to assume something else that you wish for me to have meant. You're being bothered by your own laziness to read and hear others for what they are communicating.

It's a video game, I've probably murdered a thousand people in it by now and stolen thousands of dollars.... Oh, but this is going too far...

Getting shot in the face, run over by a train, kicked in the head by horse – right after I murdered countless people, robbed them, punched them, cut and butchered them. I don't see a problem here either, just because other games haven't gone so far yet.

You intolerant bastard! How can you not believe him?
Dozens of outlaws are sexually abused by cabin-dwelling hillbillies daily. You outlaw hating radicals are the reason why men like Arthur are forced to suffer in silence.

It depends on the type of nudity and whether it's associated to sex or not in the situation it is shown. Full nudity in a sex situation (with or without sexual action shown) can't be shown in daytime TV, but anything else is OK as long as it is not in-your-face. Boobs can be shown anytime, deodorant TV ads show women naked from the waste up even talk shows show how to do a breast exam etc. Asses and buttcracks are never censored (it's so weird seeing boobs and Asses censored on those American naked island survival shows!). Genitals can be shown in glimpses and never close up daytime , like naked man getting out of bed and into the shower, etc (except medical stuff like showing how to do a testicular exam, that is shown close up and daytime), at night those restrictions are gone (naked island dating, naked pick-a-man for date show (this one does even a 360 close up view of the chosen man, etc).

The way media should be! Open, but not too gratuitous in the daytime.

That reminds me, there was a British show (I think it was UK based) where they had blind dating base on people showing their naked body. Saw clips of it. Hilarious stuff.

Why does the rapist always has to be a man? Couldn't a man be raped by some nice lady? Sexist pigs, those guys in Rockstar.
Click to expand...
Because that's the way media works, and how gender/age attitudes work. An adult male is fair game for anything.

Typically, killings, crooks, evil villains are guys. Don't get me wrong, I think that is true. Let's face it, the majority of crime is done by men, and even a bigger majority of serious crimes are done by men too.

However, in real life, you still get female crooks, and you still get kids getting killed or teenagers committing crime.

But when it comes to movies, games and tv shows, usually it's in bad taste to show women being too evil, and kids being killed, especially when it's over the top. A male dude getting his head blown off... no problem. A woman being portrayed as a serial rapist or a kid getting his head chopped off.... not the best idea to show. And a kid getting raped..... how many times has that ever been shown?

Instead of attempting to mock his post you could actually try and make some sort of statement or argument that doesn't imply you have some sort of lack of maturity.

Your condescension reflects your innate belief of superiority about being male. Pretty fucking misogynistic. You think your dick is so big that you can just wave it at us like this and get away with it? Fuckin, men.

Well, you are not supposed to know about the rape prior, lol, 1899 does not have the internets.

So it just looks like premeditated murder or a senseless killing. "pie_tears_joy:

Now after it happens, I wonder what if it does that?

It doesn't. You get to kill him free of any negative karma.

I shot him in the back of the skull as he desperately ran for his life. The game said, "yeah, we don't have any problem with that".

He wasn't there when I showed up, so I torched his place. :messenger_sunglasses:

Edit: I reloaded my save and he was there. I talked to him, threw a molotov after asking me to come in, he died, and I moved on.

It's another evil thing, next to murder, so I am happy to just move on. Enjoy the game.

I've read your post....

It seems to try to aim for this emotional plea or moral angle, ignoring the rating system put in place. This game was not made to be some sort of Mr.Rogers Simulator....

Its why you keep saying to read your other points, but not actually just confirming what your actual point actually is...

"when you hide it in the game to randomly spring on players apparently the ESRB doesn't find it"

The game is rated M... this is very much in line with the M rating

"Content in itself doesn't tell you anything whatsoever about philosophical things like what makes something morally good or bad in itself"

The game is rated M, it doesn't need to tell you if they feel its "morally good or bad" this isn't a bible simulator


"Can't wait for GTA: Columbia where you help human traffickers make snuff films and child porn because hey, it happens in real life, so why not? We're all mature adults so it makes sense to turn these things into our leisure entertainment"


Again....THE GAME IS RATED M...its content justify's the rating.

Your entire argument is pretty much this moral fight, on something that was never created to be this sunday school lesson on kindness.

Don't play it.

If its something that you feel is um "morally" wrong, DON'T PLAY IT! Plenty of E rated, family friendly, good value, MORALLY good games you can enjoy.

Stop arguing about this one. Was never made to be what you are arguing about.

The premise, pure and simple, was the random, hamfisted, insensitive, thoughtless, flippant manner in which they did it.

"Don't like it, don't play it"? The question, which I was already asking, and regarding which was making a futile attempt to find any sensible thought from anyone here, was why this is the attitude toward something as serious as rape, and yet for ten thousand other aspects of the content within the game or how it is designed, everyone is perfectly content to spend days on end discussing the merits or failures, praising or criticizing them by subjective standards, comparing personal thoughts and feelings on the different aspects of the game to each other to parse out what we think would be the best for the game and how what we actually got stands up in comparison?

The rating has absolutely nothing to do with this, because I am not talking about censorship. I am talking about human reception and the merits of a deliberately crafted work of media. Why is absolutely everything under the sun on the table for open discussion, but the second we get to rape we have to just accept what they decide to do with it or shut up and go away? Why is that your attitude toward rape as game content? Why are you not treating other aspects of game design and content in the same way? I already expressed my view of the sorts of things I think should have been done for the inclusion of such content to be considered as being done in an acceptable manner.

I'm not going to quote my post for you. Go back through the thread and find the one where I toss out a handful of ideas of things they could have included to do it in a manner that is sensible to what it is in real life and matching to the measure of seriousness and impact on characterization and development that their violent criminal lifestyles has on them and the overall narrative.

You know what else is extremely lame?

"The premise, pure and simple, was the random, hamfisted, insensitive, thoughtless, flippant manner in which they did it."

They can do that.
Its rated M and its their game....

That is like saying in a quentin tarantino film, a character kills 88 people THOUGHTLESSLY....well....ok. They can actually do that. Its rated R and its his film.

You are arguing a moral, emotional argument. Don't play, watch, read etc something that you feel is that way and you'll be fine. I'm ok with rape being in the game cause rape happens in real life.....I have no issue with it existing as if the creator deems it so and the rating fits the concept, I'm ok with it being in the game as the game is RATED M.

"we get to rape we have to just accept what they decide to do with it or shut up and go away?" Well yes bud. Its their game and you don't NEED to play it. They gave you FAIR WARNING that it was rated M.

You have a massive issue not being able to understand that a creator has the FREEDOM to create what they feel just so long as its under the ESRB, you don't need to like or accept it bud, it doesn't need to be morally just or anything like that. YOU WANT it to be that, that is not a need, that is a personal want.

We get there is a deference between the senseless violence in Tarantino films compared to someone like Haneke, but the difference doesn't mean one shouldn't exist vs the other or one is "morally" ok vs the other, its simply showing 2 different ways that violence can be used in someones works.

Play something else please...
 
Again, why are you acting like I am trying to say they shouldn't be allowed to do it? That is not what I am addressing at all, nor what I am asking. I explicitly ruled that out multiple times now, yet you keep bringing it up and tearing it down, presenting it as my position. It is not. It is a straw man. Why are you repeatedly getting so worked up over something I never said and that you keep pulling out of nowhere all by yourself?

If you are fine with it being allowed in, what is your point exactly? Because if you have no issue with it in and simply just don't like how it was done, again...PLAY SOMETHING ELSE, it solves your issue pretty easily.
 
I don't see anything wrong with it. It's definitively a possible outcome for a person traveling alone.

The game is full of criminals and criminal acts.

SJW? Isn't this a game in which you can hunt down KKK activists?
