I'm going to go out on a branch a wee bit here and claim that it, like all other things, has its place in RP.
That said, that place is not and will never be "for the lulz." As an act of moral blackness to really drive home how utterly horrible and irredeemable that character is, it works. Its a 'slap you in the face' shock value type action. Doing it to try to be funny is a hilariously bad idea, because its not funny. Rape and pedophilia are not amusing things to be played around with, I find it bad enough how much rape RP there is, serious things need to be taken seriously. If done so, they have their place, if not, don't do it.

To clarify, I don't have much of a problem with rape RP. Hell, me and the wife play that game all the time.

The difference is when it comes to kids. Sure, I know, I mean hell I lost my virginity at the age of 13. Widen the gap and we have a problem. Someone wants to RP a pedo? I will be on the horn with the FBI in t-minus two seconds. Because anyone who wants to RP a pedo *IS* a pedo.

Coming from the guy who decided to go from flaming me to calling me a babyrapist in the OOC channel, I find this post interesting to say the least.

I am LOLing at Boma's neglect to hide the redneck inside him.

I wouldn't call the FBI, obviously because the RP would be, well, RP. If it doesn't actually happen, it's not a precursor to actual pedophilia. Not to get into detail here, but there is pornography that is way beyond my comfort zone that treads along the line of what is legal. Is it totally a taboo? Yes. Should it exist in EVE? No.

Although, we need to lock this. There's not exactly anything to debate or come to conclusions about, seeing as the OP's quote is from a troll who wanted this to exactly happen.
