This has to be, hands down, the funniest bit of stereotyping I have ever seen
about gaming geeks.

If there's a marketing strategy for roleplaying games that reassures women who
have irrational and groundless fears of being raped by rough-looking gamers in
trashy looking comic book stores, I'd love to hear it.

Are you trying to market a product to the audience that buys roleplaying games?
If so, I think your weird paranoia about the kind of people who play games 
isn't
going to help your efforts.
