Amazon blocks sale of rape videogame

Thanks for posting the review Warpus :goodjob:

Sick, sick game.
 
Right...because near pedo rape games are just like Fallout 3 where you murder mutants, ghouls, and sometimes people...
How about WoW? The whole pretext of the game is racism. If you are Horde you hate humans with a passion, and you usually do everything you can to kill them before they kill you. Do you think playing that game makes people more racist?

And the fact is, violent video games do get their criticism. Or have you forgotten this guy;
Since I never claimed that, I can hardly have forgotten that there are a multitude of fools who claim that playing violent video games make you more violent. That's my point, dude. It's fantasy.
 
What does that mean?

It says "PIMP"

Anyway, I've killed probably 1,000,000 or more during my video game career and I have yet to kill someone out here in the real world. I don't think I'll start anytime soon.

If I played this game, I wouldn't rape anyone either.
 
And what's wrong with criticizing the game and the fantasy itself? No one here is saying the game shouldn't exist. Most people are just saying rape fantasy games are just...well...ridiculous and sad.

As for the entire pretext of WoW being racism...This is more off base than someone interpreting it as a dialectic of Hegel.
 
Nothing at all. Go for it. I just find it highly ironic when people complain so vehemently about sexual fantasy RP games while advocating ultra-violent RP games.
 
From the review:

Defining Moment: I wish I could say that the first instance of bloody cock or the rape that takes place on top of the child's enormous bed were the defining moments of the game. That would have been enough - more than enough - but, these are both things I have seen in Hentai games before. Pregnancy and abortion are new twists on this filthy genre, and they were disturbing, but they still don't quite win out. No, the winner on this one are the tears that glisten and move in the little girl's eyes. That sort of attention to detail wins this game a huge pile of disturbing points.

I am open-minded about many things, but that genuinely disturbs me.
 
See, the problem with this game is that your goals, as a player, in the game, are to go out and rape people..

Most violent games have goals such as "save humanity!", "defeat the evil monsters", "defeat the enemy in order to save your country!", "kill the baddies or they'll kill you" or what have you.

There are exceptions, such as Postal, which was just.. sick.

If there was a game out there in which your goals were to go out and saw people's heads off, or gruelly murder random victims, or whatever, I'd be just as offended and think it's just as sick as this rape "game".

The problem here is Japanese culture and its views on sex & women.. especially women. I mean, Japanese subways & trains have "women only" trains (in some cities) just because of the huge problem of men feeling up random women.

I might have a bit of an ignorant view of Japanese culture (since I haven't really been exposed to it too much, aside from what I see in the media), but it seems to me like members of Japanese culture are a bit shy about sex, because that's how they're brought up to treat it. Being biological creatures, sexual frustration naturally builds up.. and this gets expressed in really freaky ways, such as this rape game.

I really wonder what the response to this would be if we got a couple random people from Japan to comment on this game.

Does GTA offend you? I mean, you don't have to kill people just like you don't have to rape people in two games. But if you don't, why bother buying the game? Does anyone buy GTA and never kill anyone in it?
 
I first thought that this was going to be another dating sim where you date and have sex with several women, but after reading the review it is pretty clear that this is a very disturbing game. I can't blame them for removing it.
 
Or how about this one?

Boom. Headshot.

To understand free speech means freedom to speak what others do not like and even cannot stand to hear? ... Tolerating what you like is hardly a major achievement. Hitler tolerated what he liked. So did Stalin. Idi Amin did too. So did Genghis Khan, the Shah, and Henry Kissinger. Free speech only becomes an issue when someone says what others don't want to hear. Michael Albert
 
Bottom line is, rape is never acceptable, not even in war.

Bottom line is, assassination is never acceptable, not even in war.

Again, what does this have to do with free speech? Nobody is banning the game. Amazon just isn't selling it.

I wouldn't completely agree with that. Hitler, case in point. At any rate, JFK's assasination was a historical event, and has received tons of study in film and documentary. Extending that study to a game form is really not offensive, as long as the proper respects are paid to JFK and the Kennedy family.

Rape is a totally different level.

Why can you rationalize his assassination when you can't rationalize JFK's? Becauase one is obviously 'evil' while the other was obviously 'good'? And we are all supposed to call you first before assassinating anybody just to make sure they are 'evil' enough?

JFK apparently ordered the assassination of Fidel Castro. Is he evil enough to be assassinated? Is JFK evil enough because he ordered it?

In this case it has to do with tolerance.

If Hitler had been a woman, would it have been okay to rape her?

(you've got to give credit to a thread where I can ask such a question :lol: )
