They call this a "game"?

glatt, I believe I can posit a logic behind your feelings on this. Rape is considered worse than murder because murder has been deemed to have practical applications (war, executions, self defense) while rape has been shown to have no practical applications which are commonly accepted by today’s standards (this disregards the historical utility of replacing an enemies genetic stock with your own). The concept of rape is repugnant because it cannot be justified as having any practical purpose. The concept of murder is acceptable, and something we can even relish in the thought of, because of its number of practical applications, and the fact that we are encouraged to consider it a viable option for the resolution of various matters.

This, in addition to the reason cited above.
