/agree. I have posttraumatic stress disorder and "rape" actually triggers me, and can ruin what would otherwise be an enjoyable raiding night for me by turning it into a flashback-laden raiding night.

I also agree that it makes the game an uncomfortable place to be female. I actually transferred to Bronzebeard just to be in Daughters of the Alliance because even the LGBT-friendly guilds on Proudmoore made me feel uncomfortable to be female in.
