"An editorial on Friday about the Supreme Court’s review of a California law barring the sale or rental of violent video games to minors incorrectly described the content of three games. Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, Postal 2, and Duke Nukem 3D graphically depict many repellent acts. They do not depict rape."
What happens when people defend the right of unpleasant speech who have still never walked a mile in Tommy Vercetti's shoes. Still, a counterpoint: "Wait, does getting your money back from a hooker by beating her up count as rape?"

What if the rape-rape is just an easter egg, an omelet of sexual violence, as it were?

I always hated that when you killed the hooker after paying her for sex she never had the amount you paid … it was usually less. Where did that money go in the time it took for me to finish and her to die? That's why these games shouldn't be banned. They're not even realistic.

You couldn't get your money back by beating her up, you had to kill her. Sheesh. Get it right.
