You know, what it all boils down to, is what your group of players in your
campaign are comfortable with. If it is causing emotional trauma in a
player, why would you want to include it (be it rape, murder, etc...) in
your campaign. On the other hand, if you all are comfortable with it, then
fine, if you think it adds atmosphere to the game, include it. The point
is, SR is a game and you and your group should be enjoying it!

For some people, these scenes may be some sort of emotional cathartis
(sp?), and it is good to include them. In others, it may cause problems,
and it would be bad. In the majority (I would think) it doesn't go either
way, and unless such a scene is an integral plot point, then why bother?

Also, just because you include such things in your campaign does not make
you sick and depraved, and the converse to such is that just because you
don't include them does not make you an uptight wimp who can't handle it.
