What is Most 'Misogynist' RPG Ever Made?

At first, pondering this question in my own head, I thought of Black Souls & Black Souls II, because you can:

- rape every female NPC
- murder every female NPC
- raping a female NPC captures her into your rape dungeon, where you can rape her again (with a new, unique dungeon-rape dialogue)
- you can then murder the female NPC after you raped her and captured into your rape dungeon and rape her again

This seemed quite misogynist to me, but then I remembered all these studies about how women often reach orgasm during rape. So maybe rape is not so misogynist?

Also, Black Souls is full of women in leadership positions, and otherwise strong women characters. Princesses, powerful female mages, goddesses, girlbosses of all kind. Of course you can rape every single one of them, but before you do that they will likely kill you many times. Not very misogynist at all.

So which RPG is truly the most misogynist? Requirements:

- no powerful women or strong women or female leaders at all
- you cannot rape women because there's a chance the woman would enjoy it

That's a very juvenile way of looking on it.

A major issue of rape trauma hovers around that where a horrorable event produces such a feeling and leaves the person torn, often then either hating sex and the pleasurable sensations of it or associating the actions of the horrorable event with the pleasure and straying into darker forms of sex that leave them open to further sexual assaults.

Sadly its a very progressive genre, I cant remember any rpg where women get a penalty to physical and mental stats because they are playing women. Realism is thrown out the window even in historical games.

Think you struggle a bit more as a woman in mount and blade, but thats it.

If you can also murder males the game is egalitarian, not misogynistic. It should be a game where you murder women exclusively, like Gynophobia.

And doesn't raping them mean you actually like them, albeit in a selfish way?

Might depend on how they are portrayed; if they are unpleasant characters - like in most modern games - it can be covertly misogynistic, perhaps revealing the writer's unconscious misogyni. We all know women hate other women, feminists are no exception.

Have you heard of a game called Grimoire: Heralds of the Winged Exemplar? It's a masterpiece of the RPG genre, and females get -25% to Strength.

You can also reach orgasm from your prostate during rape
I'm sorry that happened to you. Stay strong brother.

I wouldn't mind if picking male "body type A" gave you a bonus to INT whereas picking "body type B" gave a bonus to WIS, as it seems to correspond to reality quite well, but there's no way to compensate for the female's realistic and enormous penalties to all physical stats, including CON because of a lack of pain tolerance.

Deep Rock Galactic. No women in it whatsoever. Nobody even says the word "woman" or "girl". The only "female" characters are your affectionately-nicknamed industrial mining robots.

Or possibly Team Fortress 2. No women except for the announcer, and the characters frequently use "woman" or similar as insults against eachother.

Depends on which you think is more sexist, the quantity of harm brought against the gender, or simply the complete absence of the gender's presence in its totality? In the latter case, the Touhou series could be seen as very misandristic. In the former case your choice of nominees is mostly relegated to H-games and the like.

Games without women aren't misogynist. For something to be that there needs to be hatred of women, which requires women to be in it to hate.

If we're going down this route, then a movie like Master and Commander is sexist because there are no women in it, when they're are none simply because it's about Age of Sail warfare where they were a rare sight (not completely absent, captains of larger ships sometimes brought wives onboard and they wound up helping around the ship with things, but that was against regulations).

But hatred is the desire for something to not exist. What can be more womanhating than a game without a single womynz...

Hatred is more deep than that. It's wanting that, but also not letting go of the object of hatred at the same time. To flip it around, a misandrist hates men being in anything, but also won't stop bitching about them. What makes such people be a misogynist or misandrist isn't simply their hatred, but their obsessiveness about the opposite sex that has that sex arise as the topic of discussion again and again in their life.

A movie without women, like the example that I used above, has no women in it because the movie's setting simply doesn't involve women. It is neutral on them, not exclusionary. Compare that with elements of teen raunchy comedies from the 80s or so where many had a very clear mean streak towards the women that required women to be in the film to treat poorly.

I'm usually wary of the topic of victim/victimizer, but when it comes to nasty relationships, the victimizer needs the victim to focus their hatred upon. They are dependent upon the victim as a result.
