Message: <blockquote data-quote="Elf Witch" data-source="post: 590265" data-attributes="member: 9037">I would like to set the record straight I am not entertained by rape stories. Nor am I entertained by tortue stories or killing stories. What I am entertained by are well thought out mature stories dealing with differant topics in a mature and senstive way. In the novel I am reading a witch was tortued for information she ended up losing two fingers. The scene was rather disturbing which it should be tortue is a distrubing sick thing. The novel is not about tortue it is about a group of witches trying to save their people and over throw an evil ruler. The tortue was a literary device. When I read a story I do not want things sugar coated. In gaming I sometimes want evil to be truly evil and evil does horriable things. There is no difference to me between tortue, killing innocents and rape. They are all evil acts. I like a certain amount of realism in my role playing. When I was first raped I could not talk about it or read or watch movies with rape as part of the plot. That was my issue so I did not read, or watch anything that might have that theme. Over time with help I got to where I am today. I am able to seperate fictional rape from the reality of what happened to me. Since this was my issue I did not expect authors or Hollywood to stop making books or movies with rape in it. I took control and stayed away. This is true for everyone we all may have issues that we are not comfertable dealing with, but we cannot expect everyone else in the world to know this.  To expect a DM to sanatize their game to avoid possiably offending someone is wrong. Someone else said it here that if you cannot handle things then it maybe best for you to not play in a game that could upset you. Or read a book or watch a movie for that matter.</blockquote>
