A Japanese video game company has released an utterly ABHORRENT piece of "entertainment." No. Correction. This game is the THIRD disgusting game from the company (one of which is called Battle Raper...that's not a typo).
This new game is called RapeLay. As opposed to Good Consensual Lay.
Really, son? WHY would anyone put in the time to make a video game that simulates not only rape, but forced abortions among other repulsive actions of sexual aggression performed against not only grown women but children as well.
WHO are the sick people that:
1. came up with the game concept to begin with
2. bought the first disgusting game to give the company incentive to make the second
game?
3. bought the second disgusting game to give the company incentive to make the third game?
4. are buying and playing this third game?
Amazon has made a conscious decision to halt the sales of RapeLay on amazon.com. I had a conversation with a friend about how bad IS this game? It's just a game, right?
I don't think it's JUST a game. Now don't get me wrong. I'm not going to say that violent games are the cause of violent crimes. Sex crimes are on a whole different level because it involves a distinct perversion of the mind. Peeping toms start off with an invasion of privacy. They eventually get bolder and move from voyeurism to molestation. It's not a far jump from molestation to rape.
The argument would be that this game can be a release for these people that have the urge to commit sex crimes. No. There is nothing cathartic about acting out the behavior that you're trying to avoid. Kids that take out their aggression on Bozo the clown (you know, the blow-up toy that bobs back upright after you knock it down) are not calmer or less violent. If anything, it reinforces the behavior.
Now let's compare it to these violent games. How real is casting spells on trees to do your bidding while you run around in a fancy robe casting twinkling spells on big-toothed woodland creatures? Not real at all. How real is flying around in a hovercraft blasting power spikes at aliens? Not real. How real is shooting down a helicopter with a bazooka while running away from a horde of cops that are on you in a high speed chase for committing a string of grand theft auto within a 15 minute frame? Realer but still grossly unreal (at least in the United States).
This game though, TOO real. The action options they allow you and the settings you can choose are too real to have it be only "pretend rape." Even THAT sounds creepy and completely vile.
O, well I guess the upside is they use a pixel mosaic to save your eyes from the nasty privates...because that's most important, your virgin eyes.
The amount of my valued approval this game gets:
That's right. ZIP. Read more...
