This. I'd be on his side if the game were condoning rape and torture and treating it like a big joke, but the narrative doesn't do that. Cave is indubitably Not a Good Guy. I understand being upset by the lines and finding them difficult, but that's a different issue than refusing to do your job because you don't like what the writers have done. It's like he's saying you can't include this sort of material in any way that is critical of it and respectful, which is obviously stupid. The story might have been more effective with a more graphic or straightforward explanation of what happened to Caroline. It fleshes out GlaDOS and adds a layer of nuance and empathy to her.

I also wonder why he draws the line at overtones of rape, but was fine with all the other references to torture in Cave's dialogue.

Do we know it was a disagreement with the writing/characters and not an issue of not feeling comfortable doing the scene?

THIS

I roleplay online fairly often, but I draw the line at anything involving rape. Not because I think the characters wouldn't do it - some of them definitely would - but because I don't want to put myself in a mental position where I think like that. If I have to get into someone's head to write them properly, I can't even imagine how far into Cave's head he would have had to go to deliver the lines believably. I know I would do the same thing as JK did if I were in such a position.
