Re: ... wow, Devin. I think she's scared to use the word "rape" in a similar way to how some comments in the thread about Dark Reign are dancing around the word "racism".
If she's so afraid of using the word "rape," that's a clear sign that she never should have used rape in her stories, just as any writer who uses racist tropes in his stories, as Parker did, should be prepared to face accusations of racism. In both cases, THE WRITERS ARE IN THE WRONG.
