Why is rape so controversial to write about?

I do not see why rape is more controversial than any other atrocity.

Literature and otherwise whether TV shows, video games, or movies are full of physical violent depictions to the point that we all became so desensitised to the death of civilians, women, girls, and boys in wars and bombing campaigns.

But if, you share a rape plot or subplot in any part of your story, even if you depict it as a horrible event, then many lose their minds.

How can you even argue that rape is much worse than dropping bombs on thousands and even millions of people?

This puritan attitude is absurd and hypocritical.

I do not see the logic behind such moral panics.

Why did soldiers during the gunpowder firearm era agree to fight with firearms in lines?

It's difficult to understand why any soldier was willing to accept fighting with firearms in lines this way, when he can only shoot at his enemies once before reloading for a minute, and when he can get shoot by his enemies at any moment without warning.
