I didn't read that as a rape joke at all. More like the "punishment will soon be over". I guess more than a few of the aggressive shit-talking themes could be construed as rape-y sounding, but are not intended to be.
Yeah, I don't see it as a rape joke, but it was still terribly awkward.I think the ultimate point is that fake trash talking in professional conferences is always cringeworthy no matter what is said.
Scripted trash talk isn't trash talk. Sort of had that feel of old folks trying to force something that the young kids these days like and not delivering.
And I can see how that could be interpreted as a rape joke, but I really don't think it was a rape joke. I do think that whoever wrote it should have seen that it could have been interpreted that way, however.
I don't see how some of you guys interpreted it as a rape joke, immediately as well.

The comment was creepy and unnecessary. The whole canned FGC bullshit was unnecessary too.
The "joke" (which wasn't funny, but whatever) was the fact that he was the producer of the game, and destroyed her. Then she turned around and beat him, and make a joke about how she should be producer. There is no "rape" joke going on here -- in fact, it's great there's a woman on stage who doesn't have model-good-looks and is actually participating.
In other words, stop making shit up.

man, who at MS could have thought this whole sequence was a good idea?!
I'm sure Patricia Hernandez/Kotaku is prepping their editorial right now.
At this point, I think people are just going out of their way to be outraged. I just have no idea how rape is the first thing that comes to mind.
Maybe it's time for the FGC to grow up and move away from the normal hostile environment.

What are you even talking about?
Really?
Are you people willfully dense or something? "Just let it happen" is pretty established as a rape joke.

Yeah, I'm pretty baffled at the number of people not seeing it as a rape line.Are you people willfully dense or something? "Just let it happen" is pretty established as a rape joke.
Exactly.Everyone who says this isn't a rape joke, go to Google images and tell me what results you get for "Just let it happen" I'll wait.
