It might say something about my fantasies, but even then, so what? Everyone dreams about killing people, to some degree or another. Whether it's slaying your boss when he's piled extra work on your desk just before the end of the day, or wishing you were as suave and strong as James Bond when he's finishing off an assassin, people regularly have fantasies of doing things that they'd never do in reality.Playing games that involve you doing illegal/immoral actions does not, in any way, encourage you to perform those actions. There are no credible studies that suggest that they do. Someone who plays a D&D character that purchases a comely female elf slave for the purposes of raping her might enjoy what his character is doing, but that's no indication of what that person would do in real life, nor any sort of yardstick for what kind of person that player is.</blockquote>
