That's how I feel! --PassengerPigeon

I second! ~ Seiraryu

I also agree! -- Charlequin

Me too! - willows

If it needed to be said, yes, I concur. - Scrollreader

Agreed! - NatalieD

This really, really, shouldn't need to be said. But I.. uh... Also Concur! ~ DooM_GazE

Further agreed! Fight the power, man, fight the power! ...DeathBySurfeit

I'm going to be the odd one out. Yes, rape is bad, but, other than to agree with that fact, does this page serve a purpose? Also, it may be bad, but it's a (sad) fact of life in our society today, and not likely to go away. Better not to stick our heads in the sand. - Trithne

Uh, how are we sticking our heads in the sand? We made A WHOLE PAGE about it. Clearly we are aware of the issue. -- PassengerPigeon
But all you're saying is "Rape Is Bad". Well done, you've stated the obvious. How does this apply to us and our Exalted games, or, more importantly, to the wiki? - Trithne
Once again, is it really necessary to question the value of a wiki page simply because you don't like it? I'm sure I don't like lots of pages you like, but I'm not posting on them asking why they exist. -- PassengerPigeon

Is this actually linked from anywhere? Also, the Lunar book has a sidebar saying pretty much the same thing as Trithne, well written and sensible, tackling the issue (in my opinion) as well as could be done, and necessary for the Lunar setting. To my knowledge, noone has complained at that part of the book yet, so is there much need to start an unlinked, and thus seemingly useless page about it here?
-- Darloth hopes this will not be taken the wrong way

Agree's with page thesis. Actually, IIRC I remember people complaining about that sidebar on RPG.net, although I forget the exact context, so that isn't thas useful. Sorry. It would be nice if the page were linked somewhere(Discussions mabye), as then if it did come up, it would have a page. Although having it take up ~1-2K in the wiki database isn't really much of a problem. -FlowsLikeBits
Indeed; rape is sort of a hot-button issue, and in any kind of creative medium, it should be treated with taste, respect for the victims, and delicacy; I have a complaint against Lunars and Cult of the Rapekitty for failing in all three counts. - willows
I don't think it's really productive to question the value of every wiki page. It seems obvious to me, from the sheer number of people contributing, that it serves a valuable purpose -- otherwise people wouldn't be interested in it. If you don't like it, feel free to not add to the page. -- PassengerPigeon

... Unless you're an Abyssal! Actually wait, that gives them Resonance, doesn't it. -- OhJames

No, it specifically says 'consensual' in the litany of sins. Rape doesn't give an abyssal any resonance. The malfeans are sick like that, see.
-- Darloth
Unless a child results from it. - Trithne

In general, should it not be a discussion rather than a list of agreements then, and, most importantly, linked from somewhere? ^_^
-- Darloth

Nobody's dictating the way the page should go. Wiki is a spirit of creative collaboration. Feel free to discuss why and how rape is bad, or to add links to this page from whatever pages you deem appropriate! -- PassengerPigeon

Also, I still agree with this. -- PassengerPigeon
