scary stuff and interesting at the same time (which makes it all the more scary)

Sociolotron yes.

I read somewhere before about a PS2 or Sega game that featured rape. That was ages ago and made the point of console gaming no longer being necessarily child fare as it was in the days of nes.

"I spent about an hour talking to a male victim of a male rapist in the game," said a player known as Ginger, "and he was actually quite distressed about it all in a real-life way."

I read this back when it was first posted and it struck me that I wasnt responding with as much surprise as I should have.  I realise now that it was because I'd forgotten about other similar cases that were reported. Way back in the early 90s people read about "cyber rape" in newsweek magazine. (I think it was newsweek not 100% sure.)

Here's a link to a story that'll show what I'm talking about: http://www.albany.edu/faculty/rpy95/webtext/bungle.htm

Of course back in those days it wasnt called a MMORPG it was still called a MOO or a MUD or a MUSH or something  along those lines, usually starting with M and ending with something a little more pronouncable than morpg.
