I find this game tasteless and morally objectionable, but it's worth pointing out that rape is a theme in other forms of mainstream media, feeding into and transforming rape culture[0] into rape pop-culture, and that violence is so common as to go unnoticed.

Surely it's enough that an adult game is tagged and hidden behind an age-specific filter.
