Lara Croft to be Rape Victim in Upcoming 'Tomb Raider' Video Game

[Xenomoose]

[QUOTE=sHiBaN;36391406]Why is there even an argument about it?

Video games need to advance. Only people who say its about feminism are more ignorant about what feminism is[/QUOTE]

IIRC, Feminists actually like it when rape is portrayed in media because it's portrayed as a negative thing and it spreads awareness of crimes like rape and sexual assault.

[QUOTE=RidleySmash;36391780]Why should we care? They show little kids being brutally murdered in some of the silent hill games, and has anyone complained? NOPE[/QUOTE]

Well you see, Tomb Raider is more famous, and attracts a wider audiences attention, Now when you get a wider audience, you are bound to come across assholes who want a slice of that audience pie, now these assholes say "well it's a slow news day, time to stir up the other assholes with a sensationalist headline" and than they whip their asshole puppets into a frenzy to create controversy and website hits off the resulting internet retards outrage, both real and false.

S'like a metaphorical thing, like "A slice of the pie"

It means they want some of that wider audience to give them website hits.

I've gotta stop using sarcasm and metaphors and analogies on the internet...

[QUOTE=thisispain;36337014]brilliant, in order for the character to evolve she must be sexually assaulted![/QUOTE]

Why not? At this point she knows how to survive but not how to defend herself, and this situation brings up the right moment for her to prove herself, or die. It's the exact same as someone pointing a gun at Max Payne, just different context.
