Pretending rape doesn't exist is not something that helps any rape 
victims to deal with the past. It's called denial and it's the #1 
problem psychotherapists have to deal with.

This is what it adds to the game. It tells you who is immature. It makes 
people deal with issues that go beyond the game. It makes a point that 
things were _not_ all nice and fun back in the "good old times". Some 
people don't get that at once, but you can help them understand.
