Freedom isn't free, and so if we want to live in a world that endorses software where the "hero" is a rapist and protect the rights of people to play it, we have to accept the fact that there could be negative consequences. These negative consequences may be isolated incidents, or they could contribute to a culture (or sub-culture) that (consciously or subconsciously) believes that somewhere in their hearts women enjoy being raped.

The rape fantasy may always exist, for whatever reason, but to endorse the fictional fulfillment of that fantasy means we also have to prepare for and accept the consequences that may come with it.
