Reactions have spread against the latest Sweet Tooth trailer that came out for the game, with some even alleging that there was the element of rape present in it. Naturally, Jaffe would defend his project.
More than anything, he was very upset and puzzled that some people could have taken it that way. He took to his Twitter and said his piece about it:
"Wow - amazed/saddened/confused that people are getting 'rape' from the new Twisted Metal trailer. Wha?!? Is it Tooth attacking a girl? Yep! That's kind of what he does: he's a slasher in the vein of Freddy and Jason. But raping her?!? Where the hell are some of y'all getting that?"
A meaty discussion thus ensued in his thread, with one commenter saying that this perception can be founded on the media's sexualization of violence against women, to which Jaffe responded:
"The fact that many auto assume violence against women (violence against ANYONE is horrific) equates to rape I think speaks more about that person's views of sex and power and violence than our trailer does. Rape is a violent, non sexual act in most cases. Our media being sexualized should have NOTHING to do w/ triggering a thought of rape4 folks who don't go there anyway."
Here is the controversial trailer in question. Twisted Metal comes out exclusively for the PS3 on October 4th.

Or he could be grabbing her to stabilize her a little bit so he can get an extra hard slice in .. I don't think it would've been any different if it were a man or woman
