RapeLay - Japanese "rape simulator" game

[mezrabad]

It was a joke. I was saying that there would be a market for anything because somebody somewhere is going to be turned on by it.

See: Rule 34

heheh, sorry, didn't see it coming and it went whizzing over my head.

What about games that started out as normal but later turned into hentai? Anyone remember the Valis series? The later games were made as hentai titles. Imagine if it eventually happens to other series as well, maybe even the Sonic series.

This is basically 'Night Trap'. Well, with younger girls, but still.

If certain folks on the web had any say, Sonic would have gone that way a long time ago. Oh, say, around September 18, 1993.

So Sega went hentai when they fucked themselves? Rule 34 is retroactive it seems. Solution: Don't do anything! You don't know who you might arouse. You might even turn on your Wii!

I'm for free speech, but just because you can do something, doesn't mean you should. If someone wants to play this, go ahead, but I don't know if i'll play this myself, I guess for me this is almost to the point where I would almost shake my head to someone playing it.

Honestly, I find the two hentai games that Enix published when first starting out to be far more offensive than RapeLay (don't worry, there's only a text description in these links):

You know what, aussie, at the risk of incurring your wrath, I gotta admit that those games look pretty hilarious to me, mostly because of the crappy (I'm assuming msx?) Graphics. I kind of doubt anybodys gonna be sexually aroused by those images. If it were photorealistic with modern-caliber graphics, I might feel different.

Actually, no. Id still think it was funny.

I also find such ridiculous violence towards men humorous as well (which is why I love zombie flicks) so I think its fair to say that this isn't me just being a misogynist.

No worries about incurring wrath. :P I agree that looking at very old porn games these days is pretty funny just because of how primitive the graphics are. Intent is timeless, though, so no matter how old a game gets its subject matter and purpose can still be offensive. A game about sexualizing little girls and torturing/killing them in bloody, gruesome ways is pretty damn nasty, especially from a publisher that is pretty respected these days. I wouldn't take it to extremes and boycott Enix or anything, but, man, what a sordid way for them to start.

I think the number of banned users who've already posted in this thread should be reason enough to lock it and throw away the key.

[GarrettCRW]

The number is only half of what it should be, skaar.

[Graham Mitchell]

I dunno, I think some of us are having a reasonable, insightful conversation here. Ban the wieners for poor behavior, but don't lock the thread. That's censorship!

I keep saying that visuals probably matter more than most people realize. RapeLay genuinely looks bad for a modern game. And not just graphically bad but art design bad, too. The gut reaction for a lot of people upon seeing the screenshots is "lolol, wtf. But whatever." If the game were top of the line Unreal 3 with a certain level of realism then we might be seeing a bit more "uh...that's pretty sick."

Well someone is posting Rapelay for sale on Craigslist.

Odds that someone ends up buying it to either fap to or for their kids?

I'll give 2:3 in favor of the almighty fap.

In one of those scenes he has posted a guy is "raping" three chics at once. Wouldn't they have just kicked him in the balls and ran....after they put their clothes back on, of course. I suppose that is some kind of "fantasy rape" scene where the women getting raped out number their attacker and refuse to try and fight back or get away. Then again, this is a video game we're talking about.

When I read about the game a long time ago I guess it was one of those things where the girl resists the rape but then ends up liking it towards the end, which is what the Japan rape porn thing is based on, really--the notion that girls WANT to be raped.

[kedawa]

They don't want to be raped. They are just so scared of the mighty japanese penis because they think it will destroy them, that the man has to be forceful.

If I understand stereotypes correctly, an American penis must be something very much like Superboy Prime to them.

I thought White guys had small dicks though?

If that's true then I must be an albino African American.
