4. Pyramid Head Rape - Silent Hill 2
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=20TEuyeGtMo&t=3m55s Because our list apparently doesn't have enough sexual violence, here's Pyramid Head getting his groove on in one of Silent Hill 2's most disturbing and down-right unexpected scenes. Granted, it's quite difficult to make out what's going on during your first playthrough - thank God! - but poring over the above clip a few times makes it clear that the series' iconic villain, Pyramid Head, is engaging in a very rapey three-way with two of the town's mannequin creatures. Everything about this scene is just...wrong. Pyramid Head is going at it with some...enthusiasm...yet we don't hear any noise from the mannequins because they don't have mouths! It's a surprise the moment didn't evoke more ire from the conservative media outlets, but then, I guess they don't have a problem with a monster raping other monsters, which sort of makes sense I suppose... Still, it's completely shocking, and no video game has attempted to engage with the same sort of content ever since, unsurprisingly.
