Well, here's where not everybody agrees: some people don't necessarily want to deal with rape in their games, because it's enough to deal with it in real life. From that perspective, I think that asking why sexual assault has to be common is a legitimate question. There are plenty of other real-life issues that aren't as commonly dealt with in video games, even though they're present in real life.
I will take your word that concerning Dragon Age, she took things a bit out of context. But are you really saying that there is no merit to any of what she says, sexism is dead, videogames are all A+ and address rape and assault in tasteful, thoughtful ways?

woah woah woah when did I ever say that? I've been saying just the opposite! Where did you get that? Sexism IS a problem in video games, and rape depictions are offensive more often than not.

But Dragon Age is not sexist, and it is not inherently sexist to include rape in a plot. Let's talk about sexism in media, but there are plenty of examples to choose from that don't throw decidedly pro-feminist media under the bus, and detract from an argument that assumes any plot that might deal with, however respectfully, with rape must be sexist. (And yes, I will happily assert that the Dragon Age series is one of the most pro-feminist M rated RPGs out there.)
