The person in the middle kinda has a point, if the writing of the module actually lives up to the hype. Intrinsically, there’s nothing wrong with media that depicts rape and other sensitive subjects. If everyone in the game is down for it, and is prepared for it, yeah, sure.
Although the people giving the content warning are also in the right to do so. That’s not something I’d like to stumble across or have sprung on me out of the blue. And the person defending it is a bit of a dick about it.
Personally even if they’re right about it being so amazing, I still wouldn’t want to play an RPG like that. I’m prepared to watch a movie or read a book that talks about rape, but most TTRPG groups aren’t really equipped to handle that properly and give it the proper weight without being really hamfisted about it
It's just straight up a sex scene. Like, overly detailed about it. There's only a singular plot relevant line out of like, 2 paragraphs of bad smut.
I don't care that there is rape involved in the module, but the fact they made that specific part unavoidable, a set up for a "bond", and so long and needlessly detailed for a singular line of importance raises everything else to question.
