    Default RapeLay - Japanese "rape simulator" game

    For a brief window in the mid-2000s, video games became politicians' favorite piņata. Joe Lieberman and Ted Kennedy spoke out against 2004's JFK Reloaded, a game that let you re-enact the Kennedy assassination. The "Hot Coffee" modification to Grand Theft Auto—which allowed players to (poorly) simulate intercourse with in-game girlfriends—left Lieberman and Hillary Clinton in a huff in 2005. That same year, the Illinois Legislature (among many others) banned the sale of violent games to minors, with then-Gov. Rod Blagojevich sending a message to "the parents of Illinois" pointing out that "98 percent of the games considered suitable by the industry for teenagers contain graphic violence."

    The last couple of years haven't been as fruitful for video game scolds. Jack Thompson, the longtime face of the anti-game-violence movement, was recently banned from practicing law in Florida. The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals just ruled that a California law banning the sale of violent video games to minors was unconstitutional. There is a Wii in the White House. With America's pro-gaming forces gathering strength, crusading politicians must now journey beyond our shores to find games to rail against. Enter New York City Council Speaker Christine Quinn, who has joined with the New York City Alliance Against Sexual Assault in calling for a stateside ban of a Japanese "rape simulator" game called RapeLay.

    I'm not in favor of government bans or anything of that sort but I do think that some games are just creatively irresponsible.

    Wow. Just... wow. That's so wrong, just disgusting, just crude and way too far over the line. It's not tasteful, it's not "nice" in ANY way/shape/form.






    I want it.

    Rape is not porn. It is not desirable or appealing. I actually insulted an artist I once respected because he decided to start drawing rape pictures. Guess regular porn isn't enough for the guy anymore.

    I remember hearing about this game when it was first released in April 2006. At that time everyone was ridicule GTA: SA hot coffee mod. I find it funny people now starting to notice this game after 2.5 years.

    My favorite part:
    Reporter: "Did you as a woman feel offended when you played this game?"
    Female Gamer: "No."

    'Nuff said.

    If the media would have never brought it up it would have already been long forgotten. By the time they talked about it the first time, the game was already a year or two old and people had moved on to pirating the next hgame of the season.

    These articles only make more people play it.

    edit: i probably already said this exact same thing in this very thread in fact.

    Benzaie from That Guy With The Glasses just started a new review segment called ... ugh, GameFAP, which deals with Japanese erotic games, and he said he would post a review of the game next week...

    Seems like this game is more well-known in America than Japan!

    I'd never heard of such a game until reading this thread. I wouldn't say no if someone offered me the chance to play it...

    I recently saw a story on CNN about how guys, whether white, black, whatever, who would be generally considered not-so-great looking in the US or Cananda have been going to Japan and finding lots of women swooning over them. I don't know what percentage of those women would be interested in a long-term relationship, but I'm not surprised by the story. Ties back into the whole fetish for exoticism. For those that do enter relationships, I wonder what the percentage is for break-ups resulting from that "exotic" feeling fading away once that person and their culture becomes everyday normal life.

    I could write a similar story about the hordes of girls who would be considered good looking in the states and Canada, who go to Asia to teach English and develop a bitchy attitude towards guys because they don't get hit on anymore. In fact, that describes pretty much every single white girl I met in Korea, except for the ones who were into Korean guys.

    EDIT: Do you have a link to that story? I'd like to check it out.

    I saw the story on TV, but he's the write-up:

    http://www.cnn.com/2010/WORLD/asiapc...mic/index.html

    I love the quote "Americans are rare in Japan. That's why they look good, even if they don't." haha.

    Doesn't make much sense to me for white women to be whining about having a hard time getting a date in Asia if they're still only looking for Western men. If you place yourself in a place where you're an extreme minority and aren't willing to give the natives a shot, what do you expect? I'd imagine that the average Western guy would have a harder time finding a Western girl they'd want to date in Asia too. Plus these women need to look at it from a guy's point of view. These young guys stationed in Asia with the military or there for whatever other reason realize that their stay is only temporary, so they're going to want to, ahem, "explore". Once they get back to the West, they have all the time in the world to find a Western girl and settle down (assuming they don't end up bringing back an Asian wife).

    I always think of Steven Seagal when this topic comes up. He's really an amazing man.
