Elchimpster makes some great points, but we are supposed to find the title offensive: it would be wrong if we didn't. The game is demanding the player to consider the choices that come from an absurd situation but that resonate in our real world. I wonder, if changing the name to something less objectionable perpetuates the euphemisms and candy-coated perspective our culture embraces and Elchimpster mentions.

The game clearly walks a fine line, and we should immediately ask: what is it really about? It is our responsibility as reasonable adults to make some small effort in finding that out before passing judgment. For the person who finds it in a store, it's as easy as turning to the back cover. The person who encounters it on the internet can find the info one click away.
