Probably because rape is just not that funny to a good percentage of women and some men for whom it is a trigger.
I'm sure there are plenty of other RP games out there where one can indulge in that kind of play, but GS is not one of them (aside from what consenting adults do behind locked doors — and should stay there).
Being that this game was designed to, initially, advance through the killing of creatures, the supposed "genocide" of them should not be surprising, shocking, or even used as a comparison to rape — which is not an open part of the game.
As many have said, that was likely the first issue some had with you, but the almost constant whining and complaining when you failed to attract attention, or be at the center of it, was further off-putting. Many of us are happy to play in obscurity, without being the focus, and have managed to enjoy our time in GS without GM interaction.
GMs have their storyline ideas, and most try to guide players in the direction of their outlines, since they are often written in advance of starting them up in the game. Sometimes an interesting hook or idea might develop, and the GM might modify their course to include this contribution, but something far-fetched from the plot is unlikely to be incorporated. This includes both grimdark and noble bright themes — if they don't mesh with the author's intents.
