There is a big difference between providing a virtual experience and "promoting" ;)
And why do I draw a line between sexual violence and just plain violence?
partially, i think there is a fundamental difference between the two: killing is part of us as a species, we have to kill in order to survive and always have (I seriously doubt there were many vegan cave people who didnt die off, so dont go there :D), so there is a cathartic release for many of us when killing in a game.
Sexual violence isnt an inherent part of our species, or even our order (if you want to group us with apes). it happens and no doubt always has, but there isnt any evidence that sexual violence is an ingrained part of our very being; so if you are into the kind of thing you are a sick asshole.
However, a direct and sadly honest answer is this: I am an American, so statisticly, i was (and i really was...) raised with qquite a few taboos around sex, and virtually none around violence, save "Dont get caught".
