Rape always ends in trouble. I would not say dont RP it just be really careful.
This i am in two minds about. I think ic there is an argument that it shouldnt be in the books. I have never seen anyone arrested for it and plenty have Discriminated the DKs
. I assume it was an anti Anethionian law from back in the day.

Personally I always viewed the Death Knights as being second class citizens due to them being Undead and therefore would face prejudice within the city from guards and civilians alike due to many long years of being at war with undead. If anything you can refer to IRL situations where it takes generations for such things to heal and even reach any sense of equality.
Remember that Stormwind has turned a blind eye to it's own people in some places, so what chance do the ex soldiers of the Scourge have.

I wouldn't rp it, but imo IC laws should punish it even if nobody actually does it.Even then I don't see why anyone wants to portray something horrible like that. But to each their own I guess..
About rping rape.... well, I find it somehow lame. Can't move storylines as much as other kind of crimes could. But sure depends.

tecnicaly yes and it is bad.. it can cause upset.. it is a very contraversial thing to rp out, even then I dought it is ever "fully" rp'ed out in such a manner.. it can however fill up the dread and worry when it comes to loos cannon criminals
for example you get a mass murderer in sw.. its bad... nasty you want to catch him.. if said mad man then rapes someone.. it becomes a whole new ballgame of urgence and desperation and thus puts a lot more pressure on the guards to capture that person,
it can also create closer ties between the civilians and the guards or make that relation worse depending if they sucseed or fail,
it can also create cooperation between different guard guilds as such a sick and evil indevidual needs takign down at all costs..
thow I do not agree to such rp.. such rp can also lead to long running plots, tentions etc

I do like how we regularly RP maiming, killing, possessing, blood pacts with demons to end the world, soul consuming, heretic burning, so much pain and death and agony... but rape crosses the line

I think (other than the fact that this perhaps could get to a topic for itself) that while a murder, a blood pact with demons and such, or even other kind of 'super-crimes' can have some kind of justification, because done for a kind of higher good, rape is sort of the egoist crime par excellence. There's no kind of higher good served by the rape, just the egoist desire of the person to... well, you figured that out. It's evil for the sake of evil, so, apart of the ToS, for us is quite difficult to grasp why one would do such a thing. Even from a story-telling point of view, especially in a world such as wow's one, where sex isn't part in any way, at least officially, of it.

I very much doubt anyone who rps has, in their real life, had to deal with the problems of; demons, blood pact, warlocks.
Whilst I know for a fact quite a large proportion of players have had to deal with rape, either themselves, or relatives.
Anyone who rps it out should be kicked from their guild and preferable banned from the game. It's in the ToS for a very good reason. It's grossly insensitive and thoughtless to push that upon people to deal with in a game which people go on for fun, not reliving past traumas.

This discussion could fill a hundred pages and really shouldn't be in this thread.
Regardless... this is RP. Any actions committed in RP are just that: RP. They are not real. "Rape" RP is no worse than a couple playing out a [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] scenario IRL, as both are consensual.
Like any RP, if it is a logical development in-character and moves the story along, and is agreed upon by both players, then it has a place in RP. People should not push their personal morals of what is right and wrong on RP. It's like saying that authors that write novels dealing with rape should be prosecuted because they so happened to have included fictional rape in their writing. No, I'm sorry, but that's just ridiculous. Roleplay is about exploring an alternate reality, with its positives and negatives, and if you're really letting the negative aspects of that alternate reality start affecting you OOCly then the problem isn't the RP, it's you for treating it as real instead of the fiction that it actually is. If it's agreed upon by both players, then there is nothing wrong with it (and it's not even real rape in that case).
You do know that rape is a story element in WoW, right? That the orcs included raping amongst their other pillaging actions when they were still the demonic horde? That [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]?

Well the Blades will stick with their policy, If any member RPs out rape or the aftermath, they're removed from the guild, if they're not in the guild then we will refuse to RP with them.
It's principal.

You could argue too that what arthas did to sylvanas was an advocate of rape. Im not exactly for Rape IC as I think it is distasteful but if a story goes there so what. I am more against the insanity that rape crosses some line when RPers regularly do stuff much worse to each other, stuff that is apparently abstract.

Imo
Rape as an ongoing "event" with characters that RL victims have to interact with in the RP universe, more than once, and on multiple days, is -far- worse than, say, a backstory or something in a book.

What I meant is that, and sorry if I was somehow unclear, sex and sexuality in-game are almost never mentioned, at best hint, and tendentially Blizzard's ToS make clear that sex should not be mentioned in any way. Lore-wise, of course, sexuality exists(I mean, people must breed somehow), and so rape(especially in a world ravaged by war), but that's not usually part of what the players should/would encounter normally, while playing.Drustai wrote:This discussion could fill a hundred pages and really shouldn't be in this thread.

This said, I agree with you about the first part: we like it or not, rape is present in fiction of any kind. It's up to the person if s/he wants to face/read/play it out. But that's a rule of thumb, imho, for any kind of thing that is made for fun, included rp.

First of all, sorry for starting this discussion in a thread where it doesn't really belong. The reason why I asked the question in the first place was because the way it was so casually described among all other laws, made it seem like it was an commonly accepted thing in the community.
The discussion that followed showed that this was not the case. I do, however, still think this is a terrible thing to RP under any circumstance and personally would never want to get involved in such RP.

While I'm away I'l consider an update to arathorian/stromgarde laws.
Though something worth consideration would be a set of universal laws and rules between the alliance nations in order to clear up and speedily resolve some matters that would normally reside in the grey blur of juristictions and so forth.

oh but juristictions are always fun, it creates loopholes to be exploited and tensions between various nations, keep the variability
