Cyber space rape?

After reading the article when the man was raping characters on the internet games I can not help but be fully mortified. This entire article made me upset. This happened for two reasons, one why did the others get so upset? I feel that this is just simply a character in a game. I do not see a reason to be so outraged. However I do feel that the person doing this has a problem. This is just disturbing to me. If he has the time and mind to think this kind of thought up I can not see putting an actual rape past him. I think he should be put into a place where he can be helped but not because of the game aspect. I would not be upset about that I am just upset about the act he did on the character.  I am left with one question, When did we as people start to combine real life with video games?
