...No, I did actually know about Nevado de Ruiz, and Montserrat, and a number of other volcanic disasters. Assumptions are unwise.
I am very sorry about what happened to you, but it is not the fault of me, Toady or any one of us here. Dwarf Fortress is just a game. No one really gets raped in DF. One of my uncle's friends was butchered by pirates in Kenya. That doesn't mean that any of our family should campaign for Toady to remove piracy or butchery from the game. If we found it offensive, we could mod it out or stop playing.
There is no misandry going on here. There is just a cry from somebody not to have her past trauma reflected in somebody else's fictional game. And that is not a right anyone has. You then claimed that I wanted all women to leave instead of just offering them the chance to if they didn't want to stay. The same rule applies to male victims of rape or any other kind of trauma who also do not want to play.
Rape and human trafficking is more common than magma disasters, but is it more common than brutal violence of any other kind which is already in game? No one knows for sure. It may be. What we do know is that murder and assault are very common indeed, and happen to both sexes every day.
misandry is a mythological reference to a system of male oppression and sexism, I think you misread something I posted.
So what you are saying is, that it's not just women that don't have a place here, it's ALL victims of rape. There should be no respect or understanding towards all of them.
I never said you were responsible for any rape that has happened, but you are responsible for peddling rape culture and promoting it, just like so many other men.
But what you have to say in general is rather disrespectful. Why not just say "who cares" because that is what it sums up to. Not an issue for you so who cares. No reason to be inclusive when we can not do that.
I don't know why all of you keep acting like Toady is on your side. Rape and torture are currently not in the game in a way you can enact them. Toady has intentionally prevented that. It is you that are crying for people to include something that is damaging to others. You feel you are entitled to things that might disturb other people because to you, your needs are all that matter.
Adventure mode allows playing as humans. Humans use torture and slavery in DF. We have not heard anything from Toady on this matter, but I strongly suggest that things will reach their logical conclusion.
I don't know how you think a game which is essentially a gore-splattered orgy of burning kittens and tying children to be mauled by dogs is somehow inclusive or not triggering to anyone who has been attacked by dogs or burned, for example. Rape is another trigger-inducing trauma, and though it may be more common it is not the only thing which can create these traumas. Non-sexual child abuse is certainly in DF, and many, many people have suffered that. If all potentially trauma-recalling things were removed, there would be no violence at all. But you seem fine with some of it.
I cannot remember ever even vaguely endorsing real life rapes or sexual violence. I do remember saying that I am sorry for the trauma that you experienced.
Actually, I do think male privilege still exists in many places.
All of the things you mention are things you as the player choose to do. There is no torturing children system in place for dwarves, you have to get creative to do it.
Here is the bigger picture, sexual violence is very prevalent in this country, and is rarely punished. The kind of ridiculously complex violence you see in DF is more like a Saw movie. It gets absurd to the point where it just isn't a big deal. There is definitely a line between violence and rape and human trafficking. Violence can be accidental, it can be necessary, it will usually involve a prosecution if necessary. Rape and human trafficking are treated as nonissues, swept under the rug, used as props. Why add it to the game? Why add rape and slavery? Humans have slaves but I'm pretty sure you can't buy a slave or rape them in adventure mode.
Dyret, I doubt anything I say is going to be helpful to you. You simply believe that the problem does not exist. I can't force you to see a problem that you refuse to see. It is not within your realm of experience, and therefore you simply deny its existence. This only serves to hurt minorities and promotes the oppression of people because of their race, sexuality, gender, etc. You are, effectively, part of the problem by virtue of simply refusing to believe it exists.
