I've refrained from comment on this thread thus far (because this is a
subject I am glad to have little personal experience of), but will
interject on this point, not specifically refering to rape, but all things
in the same vein (not to compare them, of course) - basically negative
things as a whole bundle.
Anything can be part of a game - but as soon as you come to things that
may offend anyone in any way, you should tread carefully. Put up warnings,
and ensure that everyone is happy with a scene (to take an RP perspective)
before it proceeds.
And discourage said negative situation - but sweeping it under the carpet
(as with real life issues) may not be the best choice.
In the end of the day it comes down to a reiteration of the phrase "You
pays your money, you makes your choice.". If you want it, have it. If you
don't, then don't.
