Loved everything about the game until it mentioned r*pe. Call me a snowflake i don't care, i've been sexually assaulted when i was a minor and i'm not thrilled to see some r*pe shit in a game that was so appealing at first. Not harmful, you may say ? Still perpetuating r*pe culture, but hey, it's just fictional so no harm is done, right ? Pfft. It's like each time i play a nice VN it mentions fricking r*pe at some point i'm like....... really ?
I don't know why i'm expecting cis men to be compassionate and write kinky shit while not mentioning r*pe. It's getting tiring at this point. Okay you may fantasize about it but please think about the victims of such crimes. It immediately took me off and ruined the whole experience. It's sad because i really dug into it. Whatever.

"...please think about the victims of such crimes."
The fact the game has dubious consent and non-consensual sexual encounters in it is mentioned in the game's description right here on this page.
I'm sorry that such content deeply effects you, but if you ignored that warning before playing, I'm afraid that's not our fault.
As for the rest of your comment, I can't say I particularly appreciate the various ad hominems and assumptions and words you're putting in our mouths. Respectfully, it's a discredit to your point and your suffering when you decide to lash out against people based on malicious assumptions.
You feel uncomfortable with such content and have experienced it in real life.
That is totally ok and not something anyone should downplay or try to make fun of yet...
you get a clear warning about its inclusion and its very concept of a mind control and corruption filled game already hints at the fact its inplimented into it.
You feel uncomfortable with seeing such content, sure yet you do not get the right to tell other people what they can and can not enjoy as long as its not hurting anyone else.
You being uncomfortable does not count as hurting you, just avoid engaging with this type of content. No one is making you do this and no one is making you be here on this games page or play it.
Would any of us enjoy getting r*ped in reality? No, very much not because it isnt some fricking perfectly comfortable event with all going smoothly and painlessly but there is a profound difference between a sexual fantasy as well as what our minds imagine to be sexually appealing about a non consensual situation and true raw unfilltered reality.
There are many people who engage in sexual roleplaying and doing such things and other kinks because they enjoy it and want to engage with it in a save way without negative consequences.
I feel sorry for your real experiences but just because you and many other have experienced this pain does not mean you can go around to people and tell them what they can and can not enjoy in a fictional game, with fictional characters, fictional powers, 0 consequence to oneself and our wellbeing.
Besides that you are rudely making various assumptions here and your statement of "Cis Men" not understanding such horrors shows your own shallowness and your own downplaying of the very real fact Men can and HAVE been r*ped before and still are as well as you thinking they do not have the ability to feel compation for others bad situations. Besides that you just assumped... everyone on the dev team is a cis men which I can not prove or disprove but even if it were true neither gives any of your points more credibility.
I can understand you are being very emotional here but step back and realise you are the person stepping into a enviroment not meant for you and making a fuss over nothing that is actually harming individuals in real life steeped in fantasy and artworks.
