The lack of humanity is very appropriate usage here since you are doing what is called "victim blaming". You are blaming the person for being assaulted.False equivalence, as well as the reference to the lack of humanity, are completely inappropriate in this case.
I'm not comparing a person to a car, I'm talking about the consequences of a person's action, in the game it's voluntary drug use, in my reception, it's voluntary alcohol intake.
It's a false equivalency because driving a car and being raped are obviously not the same thing. One is you endanger others through your negligence as drinking inhibits your ability to drive, hence putting others at risk, the other is someone else putting you at risk because you got drunk/drugged. You are quite literally saying consequences of drunk driving = ticket/prison and that consequences of drinking/drug use = being raped.
"her actions" she did not rape herself.In addition, you completely deprive Nat of subjectivity, that is, whatever she does, other people should be responsible for her actions. Amazing logic.
This isn't about the character in the game but rather real people who are put in this situation. Even if she did take the drugs on her own accords the "punishment" for her negligence shouldn't be that she gets raped nor should that in any way make the assault ok, obviously. Why should there be any consequences of anyone getting drunk/getting high, outside of the obvious physiological response your body would have to those substances?But maybe you can still answer at least one question for me. Did she take drugs voluntarily or under duress?
