Every other detail of the game engulfs this miniscule, unimportant tape. The length of the game is the main talking point, not the rape or child rape, not the fact that this is used as a reward, not the fact that there is no warning that this will happen. Instead, publications have focused on dismissing the fact that the main mission can be completed in 10 minutes on a speed run and convincing readers not to write it off just yet, it really is worth playing, oh and there’s even some depth in its depiction of Guantanamo Bay. Or, that in spite of ESRB’s inclusion of a sexual violence warning, PEGI have included this under the "violence" content warning and as such no mention of sexual violence appears on the box or in game. Yes, the same publications that questioned the implied rape in Tomb Raider, who were disgusted by the torture scene and sexism in GTAV and raged about the oversized breasts in Dragon’s Crown, didn’t think it necessary to highlight the fact that a tape depicting rape is used as a reward for the completion of a mission in Ground Zeroes. There have been plenty of Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes reviews, some of which have been greatly revered and lauded as brilliant pieces of writing but, barring the Telegraph’s review, they have all failed to do so much as acknowledge the existence of tape number 4 which depicts rape and child rape in the form of an audio recording.
