Really? Picture Daffy Duck raping Porky Pig. That's pretty funny, and funny is a positive thing.
No, it's not funny. While I don't speak out against rape as a sexual fetish, I do have a problem with presenting rape as funny. The first is okay because your fetishes are nothing you have control over (acting them out is another story), but I can guarantee you that anyone who can laugh about rape jokes has never known anyone who has been raped.

I can't help but think Japan's rape rate is so low because the women there are taught to make less of a big deal out of it when they are sexually harassed. The infamous subway gropings are a good example. While they have warning signs telling women about the gropings, they also ask the women not to raise a fuss if it happens to them. Rape instills an undeserved sense of shame on the victim as it is, and shame in Japan is a bigger deal than it is in the west. I'll bet a lot of women simply don't say anything in the hope that nobody will learn of "their shame"
You're making a good point... I'll have to think about this for a bit.

I don't know what sickens me more, the fact this game exists, or the fact that I actually played it... I'd like to point out, this was at a friends machine, he said "HAY, WATCH THIS" and it disgusted me.
Ow. I wonder if there was an awkward silence afterwards.

Yeah, those games exist, Japan = bizarre.

I try to keep an open mind in these things. Especially considering when certain individuals decide to commit acts of terror in schools or other random acts of violence, there's always a bunch of people screaming "it's because of the games!". If the person who did it was a teen or in his twenties then statistically there's a fair chance he's been playing games of course, so I believe that's highly overrated. So when I follow this line of thought I wouldn't say that playing these kind of games will cause people to enact these sexually violent fantasies, but it does concern me that 10 to 20 percent of the games sold are of this type. I knew of the manga dating games that are typically oriental but this kind of game is new to me... I'll have to think about it a bit more...

....Ok. This is so fucking retarded, I can't even begin to list the ways, so here's a list of horrible atrocities frequently done in video games.

Gencoide(both human and non)
Mass Murder
Suicide Bombing
Killing American Soldiers as Terrorists(CoD and the like)
Gunplay
Torture
Death Games(See "Saw The Game")
Use of explosives
Arson
Ripping people to gorey bits, spraying blood all over

....and RAPE is what they're concerned about?! I like how they specifically said "women and girls" too. Thanks for making the male population feel like worthless shit.....AGAIN. Nowadays, everybody seems to be concerned about women and non-whites. Where's the love for male whiteys? D: In my opinion, I think society has grown too concerned about offending people. There's always "oh this guy called me a ******" or "this guy discriminated against cuz I'm a girl" or some other bullshit. Get the fuck over it.

If somebody wants to play a game like this, go ahead! It'll keep those lil' fuckers off our streets. It was like this with Resident Evil 5, it was like this with GTA, it was like this with EVERY GAME IN THE 90'S THAT FEATURED WOMEN IN VIOLENT SITUATIONS. Get. The fuck. Over it. Men, women and people of all races are built exactly the same and function exactly the same. Sure women might give birth and you can SAY they're weaker but they can't get pregnant without sticking a dick in themselves and they can always hit the weights for some extra muscle. So in other words, we're all the same. Get it through your god damn heads.

Now, without that little subject out of the way, let's move onto the game itself. Hmm. Well, I'm raping a girl. Ok. That's pretty sick but there's lots of worse games out there. Hell, Team Fortress 2 is worse than this. Stabbing, blowing off someones head as a sniper, bloody limbs flying off, burning people to death, bludgeonings, etc. Not to mention there's a ton of male rape games in Japan as well so females aren't the only ones being victimized. What's this? "Well, women are weaker and smaller than men." Well that's kinda of societies fault for forcing them to play the role of "sweet, innocent and harmless" for so many years. Not to mention that there are weaker and smaller men than other women as well. Hell, most of my male friends are weaker and smaller than me to. So, if a woman, smaller and weaker than I, assaulted me and, in a different situation, one of my male friends who is also weaker and smaller, who goes to jail in each case? In male vs. male, my friend would even if I defended myself. In male vs. female, I would go to jail if I even so much as scratched her. Why? Everybody say it with me now. "Because it was a girl."

You know, I've had girls give me shit in the past, trying to pick fights with me. As soon as I started pushing back, they ALWAYS say "You can't hit a girl!" I always tell them "Whatever happened to equality among sexes?" Nobody can EVER answer my question. Why? Everybody is so obsessed with pleasing everyone that they forget that it's completely impossible to. "Well we believe we shouldn't promote such behavior." You're not promoting it! Nobody ever is! If somebody makes a game, they do it to appeal to their target audience. Teenagers typically like things that give them a sense of power and control, so you would make violent video games. For sports fans, you make sports games. For kids, you make things with Tom and Jerry style adventures. For perverts, PORN GAMES.

Now, there's a variety of genres. Incest, pedophilia, bondage, scat, gay, straight, teen, mature, fat and even rape. That's just to name a few. There's been numerous rape games over the years, but why is this ONE game targeted? Let's hear it folks because of the....? WOMEN! Yes, you're catching on! Typically, most countries don't really get into the whole porn game business. Japan here knows, or is at least willing to exploit the fact, that there's NUMEROUS perverts out there willing to try this stuff out in real life and that if they had an outlet, they'd do it. What better outlet than video games? Now you can vent all of those desires into something that DOESN'T emotionally and physically scar people! Isn't that grand? :D

I can guarantee nobody would have given a flying fuck if it had been a game where you rape males. Everybody is too focused on protecting the so called "helpless" female population that we've been all but forgotten about....unless you're black....or asian....or arabic.....fuck it, pretty much any race but white people. Honestly, can you name ONE case of racial discrimination where the victim was white and somebody got offended, besides the white person, and made this huge scene that makes it on the news or some shit? You know what? Narrow it down to white males because somebody can just say "oh it's cuz it was a chick. It's not racism. :D" even though it's just as wrong regardless of gender. Well? Nothing? Thought so.

Look, I'm not saying white people deserve to be treated better or whatever it is you're thinking. My point is that you can't please everybody all the time and that it's better to just leave things like this alone instead of making a big scene if nobody is getting hurt. Hell, I was offended that they specifically stated "rape against women and girls" instead of just rape in general! There's proof right there! Thanks to the internet, I could let my opinion be heard instead of bottling it up inside until I find someone to lash out at. Sometimes I wanna beat the shit out of people too but I don't. Why? I know I can just go home and frag some noobs. Outlets people. They work.

The moral of the story? People are being whiney ass bitches and they need to get on with their lives.

Its odd though, Im guessing that most of us spend a lot of time playing "murder simulators" and we are dead against people trying to ban those, because they dont offend us.

Wheras a rape game offends us so we agree to it being banned.


Good news though.
Japan's culture is completely different to our own. There are huge shops in Japan that only[/i] sell hentai. They just don't find those things socially unacceptable. It's good to know that they're banned though...sex games and rape games are two very different things.

But now they'll take what they've learned onto the streets! Crazy japanese people always confuse the hell out of me. What's your obsession with children? how is this acceptable? How is "grab-ass" acceptable on the train stations? Why are you people SO racist towards whites?What's with the gameshows?Crazy food? Crazy useless inventions? What's more, despite all this, they censor genitalia!

Wise move. I mean, "hey, do you want to come over to my house and play porn?" (not that I would use that, as I don't have any) isn't the best way to get or keep a friend. And it is even worse when someone doesn't even ask, just opens the porn and shows it to you.. like in your case!.

JESUS, Andy, what kind of headline was THAT? Please don't say "Rape Games Banned in Japan" in the headline when the article effectively states that they're NOT.

1) Rape isn't just a sex crime against women. Men get raped, too. I find it shocking that some people can't understand this.

2) It's not real rape (thus, it's a victimless crime), and that's censorship. I'm not condoning rape, but how is that any of the government's business?
eh rape is deffined as " forced penetration of the vagina "

because they havnt updated the law book in so long it still has a law written in the time where people thought homosexual didnt exist

they can still get charged for it now they just havnt bothered updating it

i just thought it was a rather intresting and peculiar fact i picked up from a lawyer .... ( i live in scotland so it obviously depends on where you live if this is true )

also i must add that this was said to me about a year ago so it may have changed now...

BUT STILL!!haha

Well the fact you can find flash 'Rape simulators' on the internet with out trying (normaly coming across them acidentaly), I'm not surpirsed there is actualy a retail 'Rape simulator' out there. I'm glad its been banned, but could have of been the only thing preventing the people that play them from actualy raping someone.

Too many psycopaths have been having a release with these games and will have to find another source, The Streets.

Good God What Have We DONE!

For all the people saying "it's an outlet for people who want to rape", I can see it as a somewhat valid point.

However, I've read about this game before and every time you rape one of the women involved in the game there is a chance she will become pregnant. If you don't have the time, money, or whatever you are required by the game to have to forced her to abort the child, then you lose the game.

Now, I'm all for aborting a foetus that was spawned through rape, but really now, is that appropriate anywhere? Yes, I know, different culture, different standards, but can anyone seriously say with a straight face that they brought a copy of GTA to stop themselves from murdering random people, stealing cars, picking up prostitutes, and going on drug-raids? The excuse 'it stops me from raping people' is pretty bullshitty for 99% of people in the world; and I doubt many companies would make games for the 1% borderline rapists, rather than to sell a game which celebrates women's vulnerability.


Then again, I have strong opinions on the subject of rape. If people feel this is clouding rational judgement, please feel free to correct anything that I've said that just sounds stupid.
