68. Hyperbole much?
Or should we also burn all copies of the movies Alien and Aliens?

For those unfamiliar with the game, aliens were the ones doing the raping. The women will die a gruesome death once the alien embryo matures, much like the victims in Alien(s). The "hero" can either leave the women to this fate, or kill them to end their suffering. Hence, the "it's better this way" quote.

As for "She wasn't human anymore", it's because she's being consumed by the alien implanted inside her. It's the consumption that makes her not human, not the rape.

I'm not saying the game isn't misogynistic. It is wildly misogynistic. But exaggerating doesn't help get your point across.
