I would beg to differ. Roleplaying rape, or really anything, is  
acceptable. Thats why its roleplay, because its probably not  
something you're gonna go do in real life. Maybe, but unlikely. I  
have played several very diabolical and, to some extent, slightly  
evil characters. Sick and twisted characters. Tom has said many times  
its okay to RP evil characters. Evil is quite a broad term, covering  
many possibilities. If Tom says RPing an Evil character is okay, then  
RPing and rapist is okay. I wouldnt personally do it because its  
kinda distaasteful, its a matter of preference. But I've seen it done  
well, and I dont see the problem with RPing it.

Serial killers? Um, I RP a character who openly has advocated  
genocide as a military tactic, and mass public murder as a means to  
end starvation in a besieged city. Yes, he's sick, twisted, and  
unilaterally hated. Am I gonna be LBed for having an evil character?

If evil characters are no longer allowed, well, I'll play'em anyways  
and you can bring on the lightning.
