A part of me says of women find the fantasy of rape role-reversal empowering I am a little more forgiving, as women tend to be the victims of rape, not men...in the same way black comedians can get away with making fun of the way white people dance, but the opposite isn't true because (at least in the US) whites aren't the direct targets of racism the way blacks are.

I like this bit. Good stuff.

They are rape fetish fulfillment programs.
We can say "a true rapist would get no enjoyment out of these" and maybe that is true, but as a gamer and anime fan, I would not get any enjoyment out of "playing a game" where the goal is to rape someone and make her like it.

Have you played San Andreas? You're actually a pretty good guy. The game teaches some good things, as well. Loyalty, courage, brothership, and a keen sense of justice.
In the game, you're free to do what you want, and you can freely do some pretty screwed up things, but on the mission, you're always dealing out to people who really deserve it.
It was a step up from Vice City, where the wog was just a thug. I liked San Andreas/Carl way better. I found his character inspirational, really.
