Or is this something that poses too great a risk of being harmful? And if it's the latter, is it something that actually matters to the game, or can it be exchanged for something else? There's nothing so important about sex slavery in a game that it can't be replaced with something less gross and still keep the dark elements.I run horror games. My players have frequently complimented me on my ability to be scary. I have never once included sexual horrors in my games. And yet they're still just as scary. I too hate censorship. This isn't censorship. Nobody is going through the manuscript with a sharpie redacting naughty words. This is writing to the audience--and the majority of people don't want to see women reduced to sex slave status so some guys can pretend to be heroes and save them.I'm sure there's plenty of RPGs out there that would embrace such "edgy" material and are built to cater to the folks who enjoy it. But don't try to force it on the rest of us.</blockquote>
