Wife Cheating Simulator

[Ryleh]

I hope the sequel involves deep philosophical thought about the nature of right and wrong and uber liberal justifications for the cheating. You only lose if you catch an STI.

 

[Playful Pony]

I'm not bothered by it, no. It's a silly little game, and I see no reason why this can't exist with all the TV sitcoms and countless movies making fun of or having to do with afairs on a daily basis X3. Harmless and not particularily interesting to my ears! I am interested in seeing how they pull it off though, how the game would actually work.

Seems like a silly enjoyable idea but these kinda games are gonna get boring eventually.

Sooner rather than later I suspect =p.

 

[Lil_Rimmy]

I just played this, and I actually laughed. It was basically just picking up shit and putting it in drawers, but the ending was rather freaking hilarious.

You had to go out on the balcony to meet your wife and... (SPOILERS FOR A 5 MINUTE LONG GAME)

You have to hide the person you have been having an affair with, and you can't get back inside. So you throw her off the balcony.

Heh.

I don't know, a game involving putting a shirt into the toilet suddenly turns to throwing a chick off a balcony. It was rather amusing. I have no problem with this game.

Wonder if a wife-beating game would be laughed off as easily? Break her ribs, black her eyes and keep it under wraps from family, friends and neighbors.

However you paint it spousal abuse is spousal abuse, whether that be physical or emotional.

Infidelity =/= spousal abuse. If it was part of a bigger systemic pattern then yes it could be considered as such but on it's own that doesn't just make it so.

In your world do people go to the police and seek prosecution/punishment for adultery? That's some biblical shit right there. Clearly the game has it's tongue firmly planted in cheek, a large chunk of the humour stems from the fact the vast majority finds the concept "wrong" - finding a way to laugh at the darker aspects of life is an age old concept and even cathartic.

"Your world"? You mean that world where people are arrested for adultery.......

..........where people bypass the police and take spouses to court to punish them, dragging their children through the whole matter, and where the Manchester Evening News ran a story on bigamy only 1 month ago...

Yeah, I'm stuck in 200BC, none of this happens in today's world. *facepalm*

I'm not judging the game either way, I was just asking the question, but I'd argue that your suggestion that I'm stuck in some "other world" actually shows you need to re-think your perspective baring in mind events such as these are fairly commonplace.

Just to step in on those 2 examples.
1) The arrest is in Dubai, which legally might as well be 200BC. Hugging/Kissing your legitimate partner in public can lead to arrest there. The following list is advice given to tourists:

Swearing or making rude gestures is considered an obscene act and offenders can be arrested.

Public displays of affection, including kissing and holding hands, could lead to arrest.

Sex outside marriage is banned and unmarried couples who live together or share a hotel room are committing an offence. Adultery is illegal.

Homosexual behaviour and cross-dressing is forbidden.

In situations other than on the beach or by the swimming pool, a woman's clothing may be considered indecent if it is tight, transparent, above the knee or shows her stomach, shoulders or back. A man should not wear shorts or show his chest. Underwear should not be visible.

Visitors can only drink alcohol in licensed hotels or clubs, and drinking alcohol or being drunk in public is an offence. In the emirate of Sharjah, any alcohol consumption is illegal.

Photography of certain government and military buildings is banned, and visitors should always ask before taking pictures of people.

Failing to pay a bill or bouncing a cheque can lead to a fine and even imprisonment.

During the fasting month of Ramadan, visitors should not eat, drink or smoke in public places. Live and loud music is also banned.

If you really want to use Dubai as a base example of 'correct' human behaviour you'd better stop

Yeah. a real paragon of humanity you're working with there.

2) The Bigamist wasn't jailed for 'abuse' as you tried to claim. he was jailed essentially because he filed incorrect paperwork when he claimed to be single when he was already legally married. To claim that's abuse would be akin to claiming fake DMCA claims on youtube are equal to assault, yet they both class as perjury

Infidelity =/= spousal abuse, as was said above, unless it is done in a manner intended to do psychological harm.

But regardless they're incidents which have occurred on this planet in the past few years.

On earth people go to jail for adultery still. So I'm really not living on another planet.

Yes. On earth. But not in the modern world. Do you honestly think that I could stand up and start calling RAPE victims drink whore's while honestly expecting my actions to represent any portion of civilization? you took an example set in a backwards bastion of religious law and used it to represent the world as a whole.
You have tried to prove 'infidelity =/= spousal abuse' by saying 'in this tiny uber-rich uber-religious portion of the world it is considered punishable' without realizing that the same parts of the world are known for allowing physical abuse (rape, gang-rape, torture, beatings, and beheadings are all common in middle-eastern countries, and rarely require a trial to forgive/instigate) to go unpunished.

And I never denied that the second man went to jail. but you misrepresented the reason it try and gain credibility.

Let me use a similar argument.

"In ancient Mexico religious ceremonies would end in the evisceration of prisoners before their hearts were given to the sun god, and their society's would celebrate the ritual. As such it is fully accepted that I may eviscerate my recently-abducted prisoners so long as I give their hearts to the sun god."

Or closer to the present.

"In Vietnam it is considered normal to eat dog's. as such my neighbour cannot complain when I fry his dachshund into an omelette."

Or maybe.

"In Iraq women can be burned by acid or beheaded for going to school. as such I have proof no women should go to school."

You can't offer a minority, and unpopular, opinion as majority fact.

 

[Dragonbums]

Stupid if you ask me.

Honestly it feels like one of those games that were created solely in the hopes that they will be "controversial" with feminists and people who actually went through that heart break to make a statement or some crud.

 

[Blood Brain Barrier]

Eh, it sounds boring to be honest. That's all I can say about it.

Also why would this be any worse than killing someone in games?

Well, it's a simulator. As far as I know there's no Terrorist Massacre Simulator and if there were a game which simulates the 9/11 or that Norwegian massacre on the island which killed 70 people, there'd be a pretty big uproar. The argument would be that DOOM and COD aren't the same, it's self-defense or morally upright killing. Whether you agree with that or not is up to you, i'm just saying the type of game makes it different.

 

[GoaThief]

Actual events are not opinion.

Right, and one of your "actual events" was not infidelity but bigamy which is different and has been pointed out, the man was in hot water with the law for other reasons than the physical act of sleeping with multiple partners.

The other obviously happens in regions ruled by holy books, all related Abrahamic religions it's worth noting, and my reference to "biblical shit" is blatantly a nod toward such backward practices which have no place in the modern world which I and most of the people who frequent this site reside and believe in.

This should not have to be explained as it's all so painfully obvious. I think it's better that you come out and outright defend these practices you seemingly agree with rather than attempt to argue over the use of the word "world" in a loose sense.

As you believe adultery and infidelity to be spousal abuse and abuse is a crime rightfully punishable by law, what processes, laws and punishments would you introduce to North America and Europe to combat them? Would you extend that to education? What about controlling media that seemingly endorses such behaviour?

 

[Caiphus]

Might download it later to see what the fuss is about.

Although this can't be the first game in which you hide an affair, surely?

Anyway, eh, it doesn't look very fun. I doubt it'll be all that exciting. Difficult to get emotionally invested when it's all "You there! You are unhappily married! You cheat on your wife! Hide panties!"

I dunno.

Edit:
Wait... It's not an .exe file?

Well fuck that. Cannot be bothered trying to find/download unity3d or whatever. My opinion of the game will have to be steeped in ignorance. Life goes on.

 

[GoaThief]

I think damages and consequences caused by [infidelity and] wife-beating are roughly on par.

I've not even passed an opinion on the game or it's message.

Bizarre.

So you didn't post this, then?

Wonder if a wife-beating game would be laughed off as easily? Break her ribs, black her eyes and keep it under wraps from family, friends and neighbors.

However you paint it spousal abuse is spousal abuse, whether that be physical or emotional.

Abuse is a serious crime rightfully punishable by law, by extension whilst taking the above into account you also believe infidelity/adultery is also a serious crime punishable by law as it's no different in your eyes. Correct, yes?

I don't think any one person here has said that adultery is not hurtful or harmful to the wronged party but it is a far cry from the abuse you specifically and repeatedly refer to. You made the argument and claims, not anybody else so it would be good if you could provide clarity and defend it.

 

[Boris Goodenough]

My original post about the game was asking the question whether a game about wife-beating would be viewed as comical. I've know people commit suicide due to infidelity, so I think damages and consequences caused by wife-beating are roughly on par.

As horrible as it feels to be cheated on, and I feel sorry for your losses and the friends and families involved I am going to say that most infidelity doesn't lead to suicide and is actually a rare occurance otherwise we would see people dropping like flies by their own hands.

And from what I have heard from people who have been in abusive relationships, mentally and physically, I would would pick being cheated on over the other two.

Would you go so far to say that claiming infidelity on it's own is spousal abuse is devaluing the plight of the real victims of domestic (can we still say that?) abuse?

That said I don't think anecdotal evidence is a very good or wise method to approach this topic.

 

[Ushiromiya Battler]

After playing RapeLay I find it excruciatingly hard to be offended by games anymore.
There just doesn't seem to be a game that can top that sexist degenerating horrible game.

So...Meh, kinda offensive I guess.
