It helps underscore the brutal, almost animalistic life of a Wolf Pack member. It shows that they are barely human, and not even civilized by the slightest veneer of socially acceptable behavior.While I admit that it may disturb some people, that is why the mature rating was added, and why I recommend it for mature audiences only and warn about the graphic horror and brutality in the setting.I can assure you, however, that the iconic voice, who is female, is not one who stands there and screams while the males do all the work. Nor is she weak and frail. While it is correct that she eventually developes a bad case of "Casual Killer Syndrome" it isn't from any weakness on her part, and she doesn't lose her humanity.I was VERY careful in my portrayal of women in that product, and just for the record, with the exception of the Wolf Packs, you could replace female with male in much of the places that speak of sex. The woman in the flavor text above could very well have been male, and in one playtest was.I hope all of that helps in your decision. Trust me, I won't take any offense if you decide it's just not your thing.</blockquote>
