So did Anya actually got r... or is it something that the community decided happened?

[💗Blaaashyyy💗]

Maybe I didn't paid attention, or maybe it's because I don't like to imagine stuff and instead I wait for people to tell it straight, so that I'm sure they mean what I think they mean, but it seemed to me like the situation might be, that she might jut spent a night with Jim, got pregnant but he didn't wanted her, and that's why she was upset instead of straight up r situation (and he might not have known about the child either and she was afraid to tell him). But again, I might not have been paying attention at the right time. At which moment it's made clear, that this is what happened?

[💗Blaaashyyy💗]

Yes, obviously but you mentioned the tittle, obviously while making that post I didn't posses the knowledge if it's ok or not lol. Either by Volvo or this speciffic sub. Never used that word on Steam before.

you know you don't have to censor the word "raped", right? unless you're asking "So did Anya actually got retarded or is it something that the community decided happened?" instead? i haven't played the game, so maybe she actually did bump her head slightly too hard, but that doesn't seem to be the context of this post. rape isn't a bad word, it's just a plant, or a horrible act :D https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=83OILqFV1gw

That is not true at all that you can just say it. Valve doesn't have a problem with that, but subs run on their own rules, 90% of these rules aren't listed anywhere either. So you never know.

I mean, not even the word is censored. So it's mostly about context. Unless someone is going around talking about how much they love rape, there is no reason for a mod to ban anyone.

You assume that the game steam forums not run by volvo employees NEED a reason to ban you. That is in fact incorrect. These sub forums are run by speciffics game dev employees or by a vounteer chosen from the community. The word is not censored by steam filters so it wont get you steam ban unless the context is bad. That doesnt mean you wong get banned on game's sub forum by the person running it who again is not a volvo employee. Unless its counter strike or smth.

I mean, you COULD be banned, but I had cases where a ban was lifted by appealing to Steam by a ticket. So volunteers aren't really all powerful.

You were banned on a sub forum per se, or you got Steam ban for breaking Steam TOS? Two different things.

Sub Forum, but, nothing stops you from appealing, point is, a random mod might ban you, but if you're not in the wrong there are resources.

Sadly didnt work for me on American Truck zSim sub :( Steam employee told me to contact the games company :(

While it's never made crystal clear and is not outright stated, it's definitely heavily implied. As many have said:

- Anya asks why the doors to medical have a lock on them but not their actual rooms
- Post crash, Anya's sleeping bag is located near the motion-activated Polle, implying that she's worried about something happening in the night. Until she moves her own mattress into the medical bay.
- Jimmy doesn't really see her as a person. He never acknowledges her or interacts with her in a positive way. Even in his mind, a lot of things that tie to Anya are tied to horses, which imply that he's seeing her as nothing more than a "broodmare"
- After she had told Jimmy she was pregnant, he was upset about it because when they returned from the voyage, the baby would've been born by then and, if I'm remembering right, he states "What do you think people are going to assume?" or "What do you think she's going to tell them?". Something along those lines.
- On top of that, Anya hides the gun case from Jimmy because she's worried he'll do something drastic with it. In the end, Jimmy crashes the Tulpar because he knows it'll get him out of consequences if they're all dead.

As for people in this thread asking why Curly didn't do anything? It's also implied/somewhat stated that Jimmy is in the position that he is in on Tulpar because he knows Curly. With the Pony Express, it's pretty clear that anything that is seen as negative (opening the cargo prior to delivery, etc.) can lead to the higher ups docking their pay. Curly either: a) didn't want to submit a report and therefore cause everyone's last trip on the Tulpar to be a complete and utter waste or b) Jimmy is his friend and he doesn't want to rock the boat.

It's also hard/near impossible to take Jimmy at his word for things because he's an unreliable narrator. The overarching words of "take responsibility" are just something he's not willing to do.

Or C - Anya didn't outright told Curly of the rape, maybe she was afraid, he was rough, she told him something but not the whole truth. I think that's what the dead pixels dialogue implies, that Curly doesn't pick on details.

That's true! It's possible that she was laying down hints but, like you said, Curly doesn't pick up on the details and wasn't really grasping just how serious the situation was.

i very much appreciate the coincidence of being banned right after saying i wouldn't, but for the record, i was banned for something completely unrelated to the hard r rape word, for a post in a different thread.

Yes we already established that neither Volvo or this sub's mod care for the usage of the word per say. Tht doesn't mean other game's sub forums mods won't. This sub might also jsut be unmoderated.

You got banned here? From this sub alone? Or on Steam?
