I wouldn't be so quick to split them, either. For better or worse, social media is running rampant around the world. And bullying on those sites, including threats of violence, rape, murder and torture, have been known to drive people to suicide. Part of the problem is the inherent anonymity of the net, allowing people who wouldn't dream of saying (or doing) things like that in reality the ability to say and do them in virtual reality. The problem, I think, lies in the apparent fragile nature of some people who get freaked out by such things.

Like you, though, I would find it strange that someone who had been assaulted would be playing those kinds of games anyway. If virtual rape is going to trigger you, it's probably not a good idea to be playing a game where virtual rape is the norm.
