[INDENT][SIZE="3"]'RapeLay' video game goes viral amid outrage[/SIZE]
CNN.com - March 31, 2010.... step into a game shop in Akihabara, Japan's electronics district, and hentai games are readily available. In minutes, we found a game similar to RapeLay. The object here is also revenge: Find and rape the woman who fired the player from his imaginary job. Along the way, the player can rape a number of other girls and women....more...

If there's one thing I hate more than the hentai, otaku sub-culture it's the vocal American morality groups that get offended at the drop of a hat. Here's a thought Japan... if these groups are so upset at what's leaked onto the internet from your borders, fire a return salvo by demanding the American government censors all genitals from their porn as this offends Japanese laws. See, how fucking stupid is that?!

I'm done defending Japan for this year. Back, to the maddening crowd...

This report is drawing fire on Japan blogs, partly because the RapeLay game was a major news a year ago and so is apparently now "old hat". That criticism seems to miss the point that there is an active discussion taking place in Japan today about regulating sexual explicit manga and the debate has expanded to include anime and games. RapeLay is a poster boy for this kind of content so, as long as the issue remains open, it's likely to keep being wheeled out as an example.

So it's like... old news is old...

Legislating on these things might open a can of worm...
because there is no crime... as well as no victim... not even potential... (like speeding on an empty road)
The simpson 'underage' pr0n case was all aboot that... the characters being the same age for the last 20 years... even trying hard, it makes no fracking sense...

This planet sucks...

Next step... obliged to respekt the geneva convention on flight simulators... No more fun firebombing a kindergarten in Tchechnya with a Blackshark Kamov Ka50 helicopter...

Now, you wouldn't be advocating a preemptive strike, would you?

Of course the thousands of games where you gruesomely dismember every cunt in sight barely rate a mention in all this.

It got rehashed in Australia today also as a reason to have internet filtering.

'Rape simulator' game goes viral amid calls for censorship

Attempts to ban a deplorable "rape simulator" video game have only caused it to spread virally across the internet, leading to calls for sites hosting the game to be blocked by internet censors. Karen Willis, executive officer of the NSW Rape Crisis Centre, said in a phone interview that the existence of material such as the RapeLay video game, which lets players simulate stalking and raping young girls, made internet filters, such as those proposed by the government, necessary.

But the stupid part was the poll at the end...

Poll: Do you support mandatory internet filters to block material such as sites offering downloads of the game RapeLay?

Poll form

1. Yes
2. No
3. Indifferent
4. Yes, but there are too many problems with internet filtering to make it viable.

The Banana Police State in action again.
Just goes to show that the media are well and truly nothing more than a mouth piece of the government.

It's just Japan bashing !
Simulated rape is part of Japanese culture since Meiji era.

Can there be any other sort of "collision detection" in a rape game that isn't "horrible?"

(I dread to even imagine what "collision detection" involves in a rape game....)

Usually it involve penis going throught the whole body and exiting from the back of the neck... So you custumize your character with a smaller schlong but then you lose stamina faster then you... euh...

It was in the addendum of the Kamov Ka50 Black Shark manual, I swears...

I guess that would also give it more of a local flavor....

It sounds like more of pudendum than an addendum, but I have no problem deferring to you as you clearly seem to know what you're talking about (and I haven't got a friggin clue!!!)

sorry i just find it difficult to get off on such a poorly made game... errr i mean "get off" my ass and go lobby for the international banning of smut like this.
