Doesn't seem that fascinating to me. In real life, one's likelihood of being brutally murdered isn't that high. But the likelihood of being R-worded is uncomfortably high. Hence people's aversion to the subject. And it's a form of torture. I wouldn't be terribly happy playing a session where Steve the Rogue is going around torturing an entire family.

Why did you you use the term 'R-word' for the word 'rape but not 'T-word' for 'torture' or 'M-word' for 'murder'?

The glib response is that if you're trying to avoid triggering someone, I'd wager more people reading it have been raped than have been murdered.

...then you probably won't succeed anyway, as triggers tend to be random associations.

Ummm, murdered (dead) people probably can't read anymore, thus wouldn't be triggered?

And a murder-victim-to-be still probably wouldn't be triggered, since s/he hasn't "experienced" it yet.

That's how I interpreted the comment anyway :)

Are you suggesting these people are reading from beyond the grave?
