As long as studios are upfront about what to expect and it all gets negotiated it should be fine.
If sudden rape scenes appear that can cost you your job, income, and career if you sont do it, then well, how far away is that from actual rape?
Comment on Actors demand action over 'disgusting' explicit video game scenes
disguy_ovahea@lemmy.world 2 months agoYou should read the article. It’s not just voice actors.
Ms Jefferies told the BBC she was once asked to act out a scene with a male performer involving a sexual assault with no prior warning.
“I turned up and was told what I would be filming would be a graphic rape scene,” she said.

Good on you for understanding the psychological impact of such a proposition, but being physically penetrated is definitly another level.

Well, there is an entire -rather famous- market section in the entertainment industry where being physically penetrated is part of the job description. Ya know, porn?
postmateDumbass@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Well these motion capture artists did not sign up to do porn.
Nor does porn do rape scenes without prior warning.
Rape is a serious issue that is trivialized by popular culture.

Ah. Yeah. That’s a problem. If I went into work one day and my client said “now, pretend to rape and hurt this woman” I think I’d be uncomfortable too. I wonder if they even know the subject matter going in, even if the scripts are confidential. At the very least, a trigger warning.
