at work! It's definitely NSFW, children, or any civilized human being.

It's an online rape game called "Sex Gangters."

It's awful. It's an animated game that starts with a man looking at drunk women passed out on the couch. He then grabs one of them and drags her across the floor. It then goes to a page where you click on London to find women there. That's when I stopped. This is on my WORK computer. It just popped up!

Computer games reenacting rape, and some insist there is no such thing as rape culture?!!!!

Ironically, this morning I gave a ride to a young woman who dropped out of college because she was raped last year by a football player. The college stood behind him, and he was acquitted in court. He's back playing for that Western university this year, and she didn't want to go back there. One year away from a degree in psychology, she gave up a scholarship and is now working at a sub shop.

That folks is the reality of rape culture.
