And when they apologized, people were still grumbling. They couldn't say what they were actually grumbling about, mind.

Of course, there's the fact that almost none of them paid any attention to the fact that as a result of Lara resisting the attempted rape, she is nearly killed. I literally heard not a single good argument as to why they shouldn't do it. All I heard was incorrect generalizations like the ones I just quoted, about how "all female characters" have to go through rape or attempted rape, which is an outright lie.
