Poll: So Escapist, are you a rapist?

[Disaster Button]

The thread title rhymes. I approve.
OP: I thought playing games (in the eyes of the blissfully ignorant media) was supposed to make you a monstrous mass-murderer with an insane hatred for hookers. It'd be nice if stereotypes would at least stay consistent, but maybe that'd be an oxymoron?

It's also assonant, which is always rampant fun.

OT: For some reason, the media hates new fangled things. Comics got it, movies got it, genres of music got it. It's sad, but it'll pass when another new thing arrives.

Your poll is a bit biased.

Why's there just a "no" option for this poll?

 

[xHipaboo420x]

Je suis le rapist. Forever and always. Also your poll is silly.

I'm a Grapist

Is that someone who molests grapes?

What annoys me is that when parents etc hear horror stories and assume that is the typical reaction. One kid starves to death due to an addiction to WoW; so that means all kids playing WoW will starve.... riiiight.

Games are the new rock and roll. Which is to say that we're awesome, and the old people are terrified of our beauty and awesomeness. Also, I couldn't answer the poll. I could totally answer the poll. No difficulties at all.

Save the raping for the Gimp. You know the one.

Anyway, I'd love to have someone talk to her one on one. Y'know, tell her about the decrease in rape which is a check and mate for her argument.

Hah argument >.>

I've had sex with my fiance, while she was passed out drunk, a few times, so, technically, I am rapist. Please to change making of the poll; I demand the right to give voice to my status. Thank you.

*I'm not a rapist... Technically she agreed to the act... Might have been at gun point but she sign a totally legal and binding contract that probably won't hold up in court... Though thankfully, she promised not to tell the police if I let her go didn't rape her... So I thought I'd go with the me not being arrested object... So I went back home and played my video games in order to keep my self away from the world... BY YELLING THINGS DOWN THE MICROPHONE AT NOOBTARDZ!!!.



*The described events may not have happened.

Okay, jokes a side... Course I'm not a bloody rapist. Though I don't deny the fact that there are gamers who are probably rapists, murderers, thieves and repeat offenders of the crime known as JAYWALKING!!!. Why don't I deny these facts? Because gamers, are just like any other human being on the planet except they have a love of games. They are fully capable of committing these acts however, its not the video game that has caused this. The cause is of their own sick and twisted mind (I'm looking at you Jaywalkers).

You can't kill hookers with dildos in GTA 4, that's San Andreas.

 

[teutonicman]

Oh I'm sorry, what's this thread about? I was too busy raping people

Jeeze man, can't you multi-task?

Think about it.

 

[King Toasty]

1. Visit Fox
2. Lol at reports
3. Play Bulletstorm
4. ???
5. Profit!
6. Rage at friends about the media's ignorance for about an hour.

 

[Dango]

Nope. For some reason the idea of rape just never seemed that appealing to me...

 

[lacktheknack]

Much to my relief, 100% have answered "no". My faith in humanity has been restored.

<color=white>Yes, I know there was only one option. Don't break my illusion!

They don't hate all games, I mean look at your vast selection of "acceptable" games, anything by Zynga or Popcap, as long as it doesn't have a red pixel.

Not so, FarmVille results in shaken babies!

 

[Woodsey]

I would like to point out I sort of lost a job because I stopped (and beat the fuck out of) a rape-in-progess. The guy who was the rapist did not play video games.
Though that was 6 years ago so maybe things have changed and everything is all backwards.

I kind of want to walk up that stupid psychologist and say "see these scars? a Rapist-non-gamer did that!"

Love the poll btw.

You'd be pretty pissed if you discovered you were in a real life version of Fight Club at that point.

OT: After seeing Peter Molyneux talk for months on end about touching his/my/your girlfriend, prior to the release of Fable 3, I've put my raping days behind me (anal pun!), because that's enough to put anyone off the sexy time.
