Rape is in a different category from those other crimes. So is child abuse and torture. The perpetrators of these crimes need for their victim's lives to have value so they can enjoy destroying that value. The victims are weak, vulnerable, innocent and the perpetrator needs them that way for the crime to satisfy them.

The cops in GTA are neither innocent nor weak nor vulnerable. When you hurt civilians their pain isn't the point, they just happened to be in the way of your quest marker. It's not about cruelty.

Imagine if someone made a game where you just rape and kill kids and torture animals. Would that seem equivalent to GTA or would it seem like some fucked up serial killer shit?

It sounds like you're arguing that since all these traits are used to determine between a single binary classification (or spectrum) in different ways that there's no multi-dimensionality but perhaps you're misunderstanding.

If biological sex is something that can be accurately represented in a certain multidimensional space then every axis will necessarily have the same type of value (a range from female to male) but a different orientation (or trait being evaluated). This is the same as how you place a mathematical point in space by using 3 axes with the same type of value (-inf to +inf) but different orientations. You need all 3 axes to place the point and can't collapse its location down to a single axis. Similarly we should understand biological sex as something that can be measured by specific traits but never collapsed down to a single value and thus is intrinsically and inescapably multidimensional.

Female to male is one dimension of measurement, yes, but that's only meaningful for individual traits. An individual has many traits and so must be described in multidimensional terms even for a single metric.

Something made to be read isn't going to be as good listened too, especially by something automated. Anyway, there are billions of us and I'm sure there are enough creators to make articles for you to read and videos for OP to listen to while doing whatever. It's not a zero sum game.

Checks on power work only work by the coercion of other power. Given that power and coercion are thus unavoidable threats it's reasonable to diffuse power as widely as possible so that no one person or organization gains a monopoly on it. The threat of abuse of power remains but the threat of overwhelming power and overwhelming abuse are substantially lessened when all work collectively to ensure than none can gain it.

Any system that depends on one person or organization wielding a large amount of power to do good is immediately subverted as soon as they choose evil, and given all that power the benefits they stand to gain from being evil are very tempting.

Yes, I will personally try to make all abuse illegal. Are you insinuating that some abuse should be legal so long as the victim is in a certain class?

Factory farms produce the overwhelming majority of all animal products because the only way to deliver those to a substantial amount of people is to industrialize the process. It is incredibly difficult to avoid supporting factory farms without being vegan. Even if it were possible, would it somehow suddenly be right to kill another sentient being solely for your own pleasure just because it happened outside of an industrial process?

Right? If it were a poor person they'd have zero qualms about putting them in jail while sorting it all out too. There is nothing that can disguise that our 'justice' system exists almost entirely to suppress the poor and enable the rich.

Let them be tired then.

The pride bit isn't about being queer full stop, it's about having the courage to be openly queer in a society that might try to kill you for it. It's about reversing the shame they attempt to force on us.

Sure, those who can afford to pay for games should support the artists that made them. Those who can't afford games should pirate them. We should all pirate in instances when paying would give our money to evil people, and we should all work towards a society where people can afford to make good art whether or not there's profit to be had from it.

Mom is beginning to see through her cultural conditioning to things that the owner class meant to be invisible. Mom is made of meat and the flesh on her table was once an individual like her, maybe even a mom like her, and Mom let herself become complicit in a system that makes one victim the victim of another victim all for the enrichment of the cruel and hateful creatures with economic power.
