There was a huge comments thread on the first long Rape in RPGs article I wrote [ http://www.gamegrene.com/node/447 ] that talked about this a lot, actually. Most of the participators came to the same conclusion -- it helps to "demonstrate evil" but is largely unnecessary.

Also, I'm not sure I even want to acknowledge the very-heavily-edited bits we wrote of B&WT as our work, but thanks for the shoutout. :grin:
