(That's not entirely true. Some MMOs - most famously probably Eve Online - are built entirely around non-consensual PVP. Final Fantasy is most certainly not that sort of game, though)
Implicit consent is a slippery slope that leads to situations exactly like the one that is being debated. Dark and manipulative rp can lead to characters becoming broken and unplayable (as has happened to me), and suck the fun out of the entire process.
After finding out an IC friend (and I thought OOC friend) was scheming to rape one of my characters without consent, I was faced with retconning entire months worth of rp, or putting that character on the shelf for awhile (I chose the latter).
People can be inconsiderate and rude when planning these types of stories, and OOC communication is VITAL to avoid any sort of backlash or misunderstanding (both of which have happened in this thread) Your actions DO impact the enjoyment of those around you, sometimes ruining
what had been a very enjoyable endeavor to that point.
I have seen it often where people get so wrapped up in telling their stories that they crash through other people's stories with the grace of a wrecking ball.(cue Miley Cyrus)
