Scot Hacker has posed a provocative thought-experiment to his readers who defend video games that depict killing. In his post entitled Just Pretending he asks which is worse, rape or murder. Then he asks whether it would be OK for children to play rape games.
This has spawned an active discussion, at the birdhouse and elsewhere, including a long debate in LiveJournalspace.
Where do you come down on this?

Rape is most definately worse. Rape mentally messes with you, and a lot of times victims know the attacker. Which makes day to day life untolerable, especially if you see the rapist. Most of the time you trust the person and it stabs you in the back with a swirl of confusion and you feel dirty or as if it was your fault. It’s as if living a nightmare or a living hell as some would call it. At least if you were murdered all of your emotions would be rendered dead. Some people recover from such incidents, and others live with it in shame and don’t even tell their family or friends. Rape is a very serious and scary situation.
