I honestly really dislike this portrayal of a rape victim. As a victim myself i guess I was hoping for this to be a cathartic experience essentially for other victims, but it appears to be more of power fantasy to be explored from the perpetrators perspective.

There is no commentary on trauma, the mc seems largely unchanged by anything happening to her and the people around her don't do anything significant to help her. Every time a picture is shown of the aftermath it automatically gets widened, as though this were something the player desired, and they got a trophy as a reward. The body of the victim shows no signs of restraint. Things like crying get mentioned, but we never actually SEE the mc in pain, or any signs of physical abuse (Which would obviously make real life models questionable as the medium to present this)

Obviously I am biased, and not the target audience. However I believe there can be space for both fetishising horrible experiences and tackling those themes with empathy for the victims (games like  "Out of Touch" and "Lessons in Love" come to mind as still heavily flawed, but certainly better examples. As well as the novel "lolita", which is both used by frankly freaks to justify dreadful behaviour, but which still leaves space for victims to find themselves in the story, and use it as a tool to begin their healing process)

Obviously expecting huge rewrites of the game is quite unreasonable, but I'd hugely appreciate it if the game made it extremely clear, that rape is not just a theme that is being tackled in this game, but that it is openly fetishised.

Hi, I'm really sorry for your experience with my game. 

Rape is obviously fetishised here, and definitely not something that could help any rape victim. 

What happens to the MC is absolutely horrible, and I condemn this behavior in real life, of course.
