Thanks. I didn't understand the "Rape Horse" section.
Why would Anya ask Jimmy to take Swansea's weapon from him, for example? She must trust Jimmy more than Swansea at this point in the story. Why would she trust a rapist?
Why would Anya want a locked gun for self-defense against rape? If she wanted to hide the locked gun, it seems more like she is afraid of Jimmy getting it, because she is afraid he will go mental and start shooting people.
Why would Anya's perception be defined as "able to see a pixel" if the problems weren't intended to be subtle? Pretty sure that anyone can tell if they're being violently assaulted.
Etc.
All of the arguments in favor of Jimmy being a rapist rely on circular logic. IE. We know he's a rapist because the line "be quiet" appears in the game. We know that "Be quiet" is symbolic of rape, because we know that Jimmy is a rapist. See what I mean? Be quiet only makes sense as having anything at all to do with rape if you already assume it has something to do with a rape because there's nothing else connecting that sequence to rape in the game's dialogue or symbolism.
They're in a cramped spaceship. Swansea is a recovering drunk and quite unpleasant. Daisuke is... not reliable. The captain is a walkover will protect his friend, even if said friend states an intent to crash the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ship.
Why would 'anyone be able to tell', if all it takes is a threat to her life, possibly even just implied through his actions, and being told to be quiet? She has nobody to turn to and Jimmy knows it.
He let Jimmy *talking about crashing the ship* pass. He does the interview for Jimmy and basically gives it a rubber stamp. He is completely willing to turn a blind eye to his friend to avoid trouble.
He did the interview simply because it was going nowhere with Anya.
Maybe he really didn't belive it. That just underscores that he has a massive blind spot regarding just how awful Jimmy is, and the awful things he is willing to and capable of doing.
Anya would get nowhere accusing Jimmy, because he would brush off any accusation just the same, and she would fear for Jimmy... "fixing it".
Jinny is a murderer. He's completely unable and unwilling to admit fault and will destroy everyone around him to avoid it, including himself. It's hinted multiple times that he assaulted her, why is the default assumption not that he did, in fact, do yet another awful thing, that's hinted at least 5 times?
Couple of things that point towards that being the most likely scenario:
- Swansea makes it clear that Anya has told him bad things about Jimmy.
- Anya specifically talks about wanting a lock *for the sleeping areas*.
- At no point does Anya seem the least bit sexually attracted or romantically interested in Jimmy. She's clearly uncomfortable with him even making a silly sexual joke. Why would she *willingly* sleep with him?
- Polle, when he's grilling him about all of his awful behaviour, questions Jimmy why he's primarily trying to make amends for HIM (Curly), implying that Jimmy wronged someone else more, or in a different way, on the ship,
A man she's scared of, who refuses to admit faults, who shows only disdain for her, who knows he wronged her badly somehow, who she tries to open up about to the other crew, who she is not trying to judge for their "worst actions", made her pregnant. Consensually, you think?
- Yes, she doesn't want to be near him anymore. Could be the rape, definitely because he is violent.
- True, but it's no proof, it could be interpreted in many ways or maybe they simply weren't together for long. Or she is simply afraid because he is violent.
- Yes, he definitely wronged Anya, by being either violent it, not wanting anything with the child or both.
I really don't think Swansea and Curly would simply let something like rape slide. Again, could he be a rapist? Sure.
Was he violent? Definitely.
And most of the dialogue in the game could be applied to a violent man who's to cowardly to admit his abusive nature, specially since Jimmy definitely hides or tries to hide his wrong doings. Most of the time you see Jim's nightmares, you can see his guilt about what he did to the ship crew when he set the course to hit the asteroid, his thoughts about the company, about his child that he sees as a monster, his violence with the crew. But there is nothing about his predatory sexual nature.
