Hi! So there're several posts I'd like to get around to, but I'd like to clear up some misunderstandings in this one first. Also, in the future, please refer to me in the second person (you) rather than third person (he) if only because it reads more like we're having a conversation. I... I...

lol, ok Random you have a point. How about this, I'll try to explain my reasoning for posting here and if you still believe this is the wrong place to do it I'll give more consideration to where I make topics in the future, deal? - So my gf and I see the tomb raider trailer and don't see...

This is exactly the opinion that bothered my gf and myself and inspired me to start this thread in the first place. I'm not saying that some people aren't forever wounded by intense trauma, but to say that people who think they've overcome trauma don't exist or are lying to themselves is more...

Well I hope no one flames you, though it's not like I have a command of anyone here. I will say that I'm not trying to "change the world", I just want to talk about an idea and how our society views it, as well as how/if it is/can/should be expressed in the medium of videogames. I understand...

Thanks, I hadn't realized till now that I was getting PMs every time someone quoted me. When I saw the number next to my mail icon I just thought I had a stack of messages, ha.

I'm not sure you read my entire post Zefiris or, if you did, you missed the point I was trying to make and the intent behind the words. That could easily be my fault, I'm not the best wordsmith ever to live, so I apologize if that's the case. If you'll let me try to clear the air of a few...

Hey Elf, thanks so much for sharing your experience! This is a supremely personal thing and it's kind of you to enlighten us, it really enriches the thread. What happened to you and your feelings on it illustrate how varied reactions to this kind of trauma can be. There's so many variables to...

I only really just got home from work, so while I've read all the replies I haven't had the time to write up the responses they all deserve. First: - Thank you guys (and girls) for joining the discussion. - Special thanks to Lilani and Mylinkay for all the thought you brought to the...

I think Kraft's support of Gay rights is awesome. Unfortunately I kinda hate double stuffed oreos, so six layers of creme seems totally gross to me, lol. Go them anyway though.

This, I totally agree with what you're saying. As an aside, I think the only way to make the rape of a character meant to be your avatar have a proper impact is to make the rest of the story gripping enough for you to emotionally invest in this person and then give you choices afterwards...

I actually did read that article before, and I'm aware that Rape can and has affected people that way, but from personal experience of knowing more than one person for years who has been raped I know that not everyone has that reaction to the trauma. One of my issues, and my gf's, is that most...

It's hit a note that's just off to me and it's been scratching the chalkboard in my brain for days. I'm going to start this with a warning label, if you've ever been the victim of a sexual assault and to this day discussion of the subject makes you uncomfortable or rubs glass in psychic wounds...
