    The thinly veiled rape "joke" at Microsoft's #E3 reveal is indicative of the larger issue of sexism in gaming culturehttp://bit.ly/12gHuqw

        @femfreq @RollieThePollie the only real sexism is found in your article with saying "playing a video game like a girl. "

        @femfreq It's not just about sexism, it's about an all time low for them too. They've sunk so low on the jokes to pull this one out.

        @femfreq Isn't the deeper problem that this is standard gaming trash talk, and standard gaming trash talk is a long string of rape jokes?

        @femfreq He was killing her, as in "Let your death happen". That's not rape, stop being a fool.

        @femfreq Implying it was a deliberate rape joke that was scripted beforehand. It's just trash talk that only seems bad taken out of context.

        @femfreq Maybe if a woman weren't the object, if it weren't an MS demo, and if it were a prof. comedian, this _could_ be OK. But it's not...

        @alelo @femfreq Wow, you genuinely have no clue how much crap women go through just because of their sex. When you get older perhaps.

        @femfreq If you saw their second fight, the female gamer asks the male if he knows what a "shark" is, then proceeds to defeat him flawlessly

        @femfreq It's actually indicative of the overuse of, and desensitisation to, the word rape in gaming culture (meaning to competely defeat).

        @femfreq @mathewbyrne rape is an abhorrent crime regardless of gender and shouldn't be seen as a beacon of sexism

        @DurdleHerder might generally agree with you, but in this context it’s an audience laughing at a male jokingly dominating a female on stage.
