DU Post Mentioning Online Game that Involves Rape

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=364&topic_id=1430360&mesg_id=1430360

I've heard of one game that includes this, and has an odd culture around it. I don't remember the name, though. Has this become more common?

I thought the kid was talking about how in MMORPGS (or other games, I suppose) if your side is desperately outnumbered and everyone gangs up on you. Not actual "gang rape" just a metaphor.

I don't like talking about games in general discussion because people take things too literally over there.

Anyway, I was thinking it was just a metaphor of being rushed by an overwhelming enemy with no chance to survive.

Edit to say I'll post this over there too.

2. I can't believe that didn't even occur to me.

I'm well familiar with the usage. I took the statement in the context it was given, and thought about a MMORG I heard about news report on that included literal rape.
