I'm not a gamer, but I think the attraction to Pyramid Head stems from his blatant sexual presence which he carries without apology. His sword and "pyramid" are both strong phallic symbols, he's basically wearing a loincloth, he's muscular and he fucks women from behind. The rape appeal probably stems from the idea that you're able to let go and he will do pleasurable things to you. There's also a mystery to him.
As long as he only represents sex you you then that's fine. I think part of feminism is being comfortable in your sexuality and feeling able to express it.
I'd be worried if you started dreaming about having a long term relationship and bringing him home to meet your parents, or about him raping you in a way that is traumatic and not enjoyable.

(Before anyone jumps on this comment I'm not trying to say rape is enjoyable but that it's a kink for some people).

Agreed so hard. Have some internets, anon, for the well-reasoned comment ^^

This may be the most spot on logic about rape fantasies I've ever read. Thanks XD

Same Anon from before, some more thoughts.

I guess you could draw parallels between men enjoying a dominatrix fantasy (e.g. tied up, sexual things done to you) and women enjoying a rape fantasy. They're both about surrendering control to someone else. I'm assuming you're not dreaming about actual rape, no crying, trauma, etc., so it may also be that it isn't the rape per say that is your kink. Of course, rapists and dominatrices aren't gender exclusive but in my experience there tends to be a majority of female dominatrices and male rapists. I'm also just sticking to straight relationships here for simplicity.
Maybe it's just this idea of surrendering but that in our society it would be considered rape due to the mystery surrounding pyramidhead. You don't know him and aren't in any type of relationship (by this I mean both non-romantic and romantic) but he is in control of your sexual pleasure. He is also gaining pleasure from sex act at a priority over your pleasure.

One last thread of thoughts:
Your brain essentially has three parts, the most primitive of which is programmed for two things: food and sex. Pyramidhead, representing sex, therefore appeals to your most basic human desires. It may in fact be then that it is the sex, not the rape that is the appeal to you.
True rape, with trauma, is not the appeal here, it's just the sex. As I said before, part of feminism is being confident in your sexual turn ons and offs. As long as you can understand what it is that appeals to you in a situation that is not a calm loving relationship and understand that this would not work in real life then there shouldn't be a problem.
