Come up with some different goals for your character so we can all move on."I don't see the reasoning to even bother allowing one player to pursue something that would alienate the rest of the group. This doesn't mean don't come up with provocative and innovative ideas and motives for your PCs...but just TRY to come up with something that's not quite so polarizing as rape within what's supposed to be a "social" game setting.I guess I think of it like this - While there MAY be some rape/sexual assault victims that MAY want to talk about it to everyone they meet, my impression is that most want to recover and move forward with their lives. Why bring something like that up to roleplay? Unless your table is so close that they wouldn't mind discussion regarding whatever kink/fetish/dark family secrets they may have in real life, keep this kind of stuff off of the table (so to speak).Reference/Background: Close personal relationships with rape/sexual assault victims (multiple).</blockquote>
