This. Just... find another table, folks. Don't need to deal with that stuff in a crazy-fun fantasy adventure.tbh sexual violence is so common and treated with such a blasé attitude that I'd be very wary of including it as an element in a game.
I think that range of fiction illustrates how the topic can be handled well or... not so well. I hesitate to apply the term "realistic" to anything Mad Max, but Furiosa's character and actions really do make perfect sense in response to the situations she encounters. Whereas independent badass Lisbeth Salander inexplicably jumps in the sack with a transparent author avatar who's twice her age and shares no common interests outside of work. I'm not saying men can't write (or, to bring us back to the point, roleplay) female characters who are sexually active. I'm a man, and I'd certainly like that creative freedom for myself. But sometimes it gets a little, y'know, white-knighty. You gotta be conscious whether your ideas are coming from your forebrain or your hindbrain.It's weird, because most of us would watch a movie or read a comic featuring a character like that, written by a dude. Stuff like the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, X-23 from X-men stuff, Mad Max: Fury Road.
The entire reason I started this thread was specifically because a player that wanted to join one of my games presented a female character with a background of being used as a child sex slave and hating/distrusting men and wanting to make them pay.
PC #2 sounds like it could have been interesting in the right context tbh but if she didn't have any useful super powers a bit arty pretentious. Some people just get an idea for a character that has this sort of dramatic thing about them but are otherwise sort of useless.
