*SPOILERS for The Stick Of Truth*

[salmagundsorceress]

I agree with OP, but for different reasons. I'm not complaining that there's not a female character option because of the point in the story when you get abducted by aliens and are anally probed by them.

The way I see it, this game would have gotten way more criticism if it had allowed female characters get raped by aliens, and I'm sure that's how the developers saw it too. Sure, this is South Park, where everything is fair to make fun of, but there's also lines that if you cross, you may get into serious trouble.

Frankly, I had trouble going through that part anyway, regardless of the gender, because it was kind of awful to watch a little boy be violated by a huge alien dildo. It wouldn't have been any different to me if it were a girl character, but given how prevalent similar violations are when it comes to girls as opposed to boys, I can see how it would have raised a more serious issue.

It's only one part of the game, but one that I imagine they were especially careful with.

I'm not able to relate to this at all. it's no way its more okay to rape a boy than a girl, no way. If the creators thought they couldn't have a girl raped it's sick that they think it's okay for a boy. truly sickening.

OP

To be fair, the boys on the show have been anal probed by aliens before, but I don't think they've ever done it with a girl character. That might be where the hesitation is coming from and not from whether or not it's more or less acceptable to show a boy being raped than a girl.

I didn't say it was more okay to rape a boy than a girl. I said it was more likely to garner more criticism. It's equally horrible, but because of the real life prevalence of similar violence against girls and women, it would not be received the same way by reviewers and players.

Just think of it this way: would you rather have your game criticized for having no "female" character option, or for violence against women? One of these things is far more risky than the other. But you know what's not a risk, especially for a South Park game? Raping little boys with alien probes.

Yes, I hate that there's not equal outrage at the content too, or at least equal acceptance, but we would get more outrage if a girl character were subjected to it simply because of the imbalance of who this (rape and sexual violence, not alien probing) happens to in real life.

You're kidding yourself if you think that's why a female character wasn't an option. Matt and Trey do not give a single, sad, sloppy shit about what critics think.
