Rape Games Not Banned in Japan After All

[ssgt splatter]

wow

 

[Doug]

I have no problem with the erotic games industry in general, but rape games take it too far. I sincerely wish this had been a proper ban and was being enacted. Sadly it was just too good to be true.

This!

who the hell cares?

 

[kaziard]

Sigh, why doesn't Japan just ban rape FULLSTOP!

i cant say that i have actually looked this up but im pretty sure ACTUAL rape is frowned upon in Japan.

 

[KiKiweaky]

ok thats probably one of the most bizzare games I have ever heard of, I mean really why would sombody even want to play a game like that.

Its a little no actually, really really fucked up. I dont generally support banning games but this is just sick and should be burned imo.

 

[joystickjunki3]

Good. An outright ban wouldn't solve anything.
How do we answer that cry for help at the end, though?

Seriously? Not banning a rape game? WTF.
Japan is bizarre.

the japanese aren't bizarre there perverts the sell womans pantys in vending machines

OK, leaving alone the fact that an argument could be made that bizarre and perverted might be related in some way, why did you quote me?

 

[Frank_Sinatra_]

who the hell cares?

You know possibly people who have been raped?

This is ridiculous, although I'm against censorship games that simulate rape need to be stopped, burnt with fire, purged with salt, then tossed into the lorenchin abyss.

how come japan has all the fun lol jokeing really thats bad for the community wat would happen if a kid got hes hands on it O.O but still its no use theres tons off rape games online but this is just a fully upgraded 1 :S

 

[DamienHell]

OH THANK GOD! I was REALLY worried for a second.

 

[FISHFINGERS]

I think Qayin has hit the nail on the head here.
All video games are fantasies, just because those fantasies exist doesn't mean they should be banned from being video games.

These are a small group of people who have a fantasy. They are never going to act on it because they can tell the difference between fantasy and reality. They just want to live out that fantasy in a video game. Just because I and most other people find this fantasy abhorrent, it doesn't give us the right to ban it. To think it does is Jack Thompson Logic.

People who rape are going to rape anyway, the existence of these games will not make more rapists.

 

[Lovelocke]

Played a game like this called Biko 3: You were able to slap women to coerce them to comply in bed...

I look forward to pirating this after Sims 3 is finished downloading.

You cannot be a proponent of free speech if you want things that you don't like banned especially if the content isn't in the country you live in or affects you.

You don't even know what free speech means.

Free speech does not mean the freedom to say or express anything you want in any medium you want without repercussions.

Free speech means the ability to say stuff and accept the consequences for what you say if it isn't taken well. If the consequences include criminal charges, you accept it and move on. That's free speech.

sorry to say this but Japan has one of the lowest amount of rapes in any country because of these games...

American rapists rape people
Japanese rapists go out of their way not to and play rape games
we call this MORALS

First off, their is no actual research that proves the link between rape games and Japans low rape rate. Japans low rape rate could have more to do with their police force lacking resources and as a result more crimes go unreported.

Secondly, the idea that a rape game prevents rape is flawed. Someone who wants to rape someone would not be satisfied by a video game. Since everyone links sex to violence, I will do the same to prove my point. If rape games prevented rape, then murder games would prevent murder. By this logic, games like Postal stop people from actually going out and killing people. A murderer doesn't want to kill pixels, they want to kill humans. The same goes for a rapist.

Video games neither prevent nor cause crimes. Do you really think deep psychological issues can be cured by a computer program?

You know, my opinion on this whole genre has changed. I used to be completely against the idea, but then it dawned on me: role playing in the bedroom is described as "kinky" at worst, which has become more of a playful term than an insult. Yet most of us are aware that some of the role-playing couples do can be downright disturbing. We accept, though, that to such couples and individuals, the experience is, in essence, a game. So what's the difference between that and these actual games?

I personally would never go near one, but I've backed away to a "whatever floats your boat" stance.

Oddly nobody bothers to read the point that "rape" fantasies are healthy and something both genders are actually into. It's just when people confuse fantasy and reality that it becomes a problem.

Let me be honest, being taken forcibly by an attactive member of your sexual orientation is like the point of a huge percentage of porno fiction out there. Especially the stuff directed AT women, it's just that rather than porn they refer to it as "romance" and instead of
putting a half naked girl on the cover, they put Fabio with his shirt open and a giant bulge in his pants on the cover. The words might be more flowery in places, but it amounts to the same stuff.

"Oh my god, this girl has been kidnapped by pirate Fabio, tied to the mast, and molested by him, secretly loving every second. Gogo girl, I wish I could be her... "


One of the problems with women and the whole idea of "feminism" is that women are probably like 10x more perverted than guys at their worst. The only differance being that they aren't as overt about it unless you know where to look. The feminist movement taking the general attitude (when you get down to it) that men are too immature to handle erotic fantasy, but it's okay for women (this however leads into a whole differant area of discussion).

As I've mentioned in other threads, despite the inclusion of the word "rape" typically these games involve the protaganists fighting in some kind of tournament where part of the reward is to humniliate/sexually enjoy/whatever the loser of the matches. No matter how their personalities might seem otherwise, all of the characters are sadistic pervs who want to be "on top" but secretly don't mind being on the receiving end. Realisitc? Heck no, but then again it's not supposed to be.

So basically, I'm glad this turned out to be a rumor, and I hope Japan takes a hard line against any kind of censorship. I also hope they also start fighting more to bring translated, but otherwise uncensored works to the US.

Truthfully if you can't tell fantasy from reality you have issues that go well beyond anything your going to find in a video game. Also if the idea of "Rapelay" bothers you, go track down some old "Gor" novels (not the most hardcore thing out there, but after the initial trilogy you'll understand what I mean). Gor having spawned it's own RL BDSM subculture, look up "Gorean" sometime.

Then as I've mentioned before, people have ultimatly failed to ban books/stories by guys like The Marquis Desade, and honestly while not the worst guy out there, he's whole levels of sick beyond anything your likely to find in erotic video games, including horror/rape hentai.

Excuse me, but why did you say this?

I did not insert my opinion on rape games in that post. All I said was that a rape game would not prevent the actual crime of rape.

If you disagree with this then explain why. I really don't see why you responded in such a rude manner.

That does not justify the comment you made.

Good to know I can still rely on Japan for a steady stream of perversion.
