The majority of people are far more sensitive to rape than they are to other forms of violence. We are desensitized to violence, largely. You cannot infer that the two are one and the same, because culturally and sociologically, that's simply not true.

It's a strawman argument that, in and of itself, is a derail. What good does it do to roleplay physical violence against another player? That's an entire other topic, and an entire other thread.
