I'm just going to add one thing, most of my thoughts have been said more eloquently by other people already.

SE has done a decent job portraying rape in as respectful manner as possible, in my opinion. It's not plastered all over the place, and the few instances where it is hinted at aren't too glaring. I haven't noticed any overly violent connotations about it, nor have I noticed the disparity between races coming in to play (ie not a Roe taking advantage of a 'cutesey midget').

In a game centered around war, SE has managed to touch upon a lot of darker topics without being terribly distasteful. And this is a game centered around war. Those cutesy midgets are some of the most dastardly in the first part of the game, honestly.


Real world talk for a moment... just because there is a large female representation in the military does not mean that sexism is banished. As a woman in the armed forces, I've spent more hours learning how anything but a sober 'yes' is not to be taken as consent and equals rape than I would care to think about. It's a real problem, even as the number of women in the military continues to grow. As long as there are people looking for ways to take advantage of others, it will always be a problem no matter what the equation is.
