RapeLay - Japanese "rape simulator" game

[unwinddesign]

People are horrified by this, but barely blink an eye at the hundreds of games where you gibb humans into gooey little bits.

I know the argument goes that rape is "psychologically fucked up" etc. etc. and that getting off it on is, well wrong, but I always thought killing people was worse. One life and all that shit.

Before anyone thinks I'm supporting this, I'm not. Not in the slightest. It's retarded. While funny that some idiot spent his time making it, it really doesn't need to exist. Nonetheless, there's a shitload of games that have lots of illegal behavior going on, a lot of which is worse than rape. FYI, I qualify "murder" as worse than rape. Even if you don't, it's definitely up there. So why flip a shit about this game? It's not realistic in the slightest, and it's just way too ridiculous to be taken seriously.

I don't think it should be banned. It's certainly fucked up, but I don't think it's something we should consider taking seriously or even the notion of people taking it seriously over here in the States, or Canada, or Europe. It's not something that 99.9% of the population of any country in the west would find remotely interesting.

If anything, I think the only thing this represents is a certain inherently creepy aspect of Japanese culture that is utterly rape-obsessed. It's fucked up, but I seriously think it's a cultural thing.

If anything, banning would give it more attention. I doubt most people had any idea this existed. Fuck, I play video games a lot, and I had no clue.

Now everyone will know, especially if there's a push to ban it. I can smell the eBay profits...

eBay and Amazon banned it. Although legal in the US for now, no major online store carries it. It's almost impossible to find.

Aren't there heaps of games like this in Japan? They act like Japan just came out with something new and bizarre, instead of creating a slew of horrible games throughout the years. Check out Something Awful's reviews, including RapeLay: http://www.somethingawful.com/d/hentai-game-reviews/

Hopefully it won't incite any violence towards women and will instead help curb such things. Shouldn't be banned as disgusting as it is but it was irresponsible of the company that made it to do so. Anyone who buys it has issues for sure. Pretty sad stuff

I think everyone has thought about commiting a violent acts at some time or another and many may even think about killing someone who has harmed them in the past even if it is just to think about it. Then we have war and captial punishment where killing is "supposed to be" the right thing to do. So killing isn't always so bad to some people and it is something many have even considered if only briefly. In general we have just grown a think skin when it comes to murder.

Rape well rape is always wrong.

Wow, can't believe I saw the post on this game until the bump now. Hm, yeah, that is messed up.

To comment on the quote above, I always find it ridiculous as well that people don't bat an eye at killing others in games, yet sexual games strike controversy (okay I understand about rape, but other sorts of acts?) However, yesterday I overheard a conversation which fits nicely into this post. I heard a girl saying how she was raped at some point in her life, and how now her brother had been robbed at gun point. She said that he was being a panzy about the whole thing, and that she would rather be robbed at gunpoint a 1000 times, with the risk of getting shot or killed, than be raped again.

Who goes into stores for these games anyway? It's all about Comic Market and DLSite, yo.

japanese sex culture really is the cultue shock part of the culture shock that westerners feel in japan. just look at some jp porn. not my thing but most of the women cry or act like they have been completely taken advantage of. i guess the japaense look at it as softrape or whatever but it's weird and wrong. women are opressed in japan. not in the sense that the islamic world opress women but it's still opression.

i have a friend in japan that worked for a company and she would tell me that she would have to go out with older co workers for drinks and even with her boss. she didn't like it at all. so i said just don't go if you don't want to. she said i have to. it's the japanese way. I must.

i think japan is a nice country but western individualism is so foreign to the japanese. japan is a great country. but once you live there you realize how awsome and culturaly free the west is. (us. eu, canada, aust, israel) i think the easiest japanese to form a solid honest friendship with are the ones hat have lived/studied in the west.

Anyone got a link for this to purchase online? I'd love to see how insane the prices have become.

Women are oppressed in Japan? WHAT? If you knew anything, you'd know it's the men who are oppressed!

As for your friend in the company, the same goes for men too, they have to drink with the boss as well. If they sell their soul and work for a corporate company that is.

Does it not occur to you that different countries have different cultures? Just because things are done differently in another country to your own, doesn't make the other country worse.

I like how you made the uneducated reference to women being oppressed in the "Islamic world" too and then claimed that Israel is in the West. Genius.
