In Response To: Feminist analysis of Halo 2 (ElzarTheBam) : http://goingrampant.blogspot.com/2011/11/feminist-analysis-of-halo-2.html : Then there’s the rapey undertones : I'm not making fun of the statement above but it's a very strange thing to
someone doesn't seem to know their forum history "It’s pretty low-key, and there’s a joke made immediately after about ladies liking various tank attributes depending on the difficulty level being played, and that doesn’t have any innuendo attached." I guess she never got the "grinding treads" mission title. "It’s voiced by a guy, but the voice gets high-pitched at one point, and some people interpreted that as meaning the Gravemind is both male and female. This turned out to be inaccurate—the Gravemind is male and a rape monster like the Xenomorph the Flood is ripped off from—but it’s unclear at this point, which is interesting." what "Tartarus then threatens them both, and I’m not the only one to hear it as a rape threat." When I first played it, and probably the first few times, I just assumed it was a generic torture threat. After a while it occurred to me he might mean that but I don't think that's the intention and I don't think it really makes a difference unless you prefer one form of torture over another. "After the credits, we see the Gravemind approaching Cortana at a console. Given the Gravemind’s rape theme, his tentacles reaching for Cortana have a phallic look to them. Cortana’s kind of a helpless victim. Her willingness to answer his questions makes it look like she’s gone Rampant and is a traitor, but that’s just a tease and nothing comes of it." again, what
