Despite the current problems in the Catholic church...Being descended from a family of hard core drug dealers / users (my caucasian step-grandfather on down), I'm in the extreme minority in my family for not having been a victim in my childhood  -thanks to a person who put me through years of another form of torture instead-. Almost everyone I knew growing up -both male and female- has been a victim of violence, sexual assault, and drug crimes.I know a number of men who are not comfortable with the topic being in their entertainment.You are in fact what I would call a minority for being a survivor who is comfortable finding entertainment in rape stories.Whenever a gaming group wishes to start using -mature- subject matter, they should discuss it ahead of times and set boundries, and then do so again everytime they add a new player.Some people are comfortable with just about anything, other people can even go into traumatic flashbacks over the mere mention of a topic. The spectrum ranges throughout.Unfortnately we don't live in a victimless world. In fact you can no more spot the victims in a crowd than you can the perps.</blockquote>
