I am not sure why you think its realistic to take the threat of rape while playing a video game seriously. Do you have any data to back up this claim that it is in fact a serious threat? I am not trying to detract from the message that it is bad but this seems silly.

I'm saying it's more of a realistic threat to women than it is to men. And because of data (http://www.rainn.org/get-information/statistics/sexual-assau...), when it's a women, the likelyhood that the person hearing the threat has been raped is pretty high.

Where is the data that shows how many people who have been raped after playing a video game.

That statistic is complete bunk.

Rape is a bigger threat to men.

You knowingly perpetrate lies under a sexist agenda. You have absolutely no shame.

Neither of your links cite any actual sources, and the second link conflates "reported rapes" with "estimated rapes".

I'm actually concerned why you aren't hellbanned yet.

Asking for people to be banned is against the etiquette, you shouldnt be calling for people who link to bunk websites to be banned as you would both end up banned.

The former cites its source, and the latter is US Justice Department figures.

You're a typical female supremacist. You try to ban what you can't shout down. You're sickening.
