<p>[‘RapeLay</a>’ video game goes viral amid outrage - CNN.com](<a href=“http://www.cnn.com/2010/WORLD/asiapcf/03/30/japan.video.game.rape/]'RapeLay”>'RapeLay' video game goes viral amid outrage - CNN.com)</p>
<p>Awful. Just awful. What’s worse, the fact that someone would design a game in which winning means simulating rape, or the fact that the game is so popular?</p>
<p>I saw this earlier. While advocation towards its abolishment has been implemented, alternative individuals are claiming that it goes against their “freedom of expression.”</p>
<p>Yes. Freedom to express promotion of human rights violation. Makes total sense.
Ugh.</p>
<p>What the #%$@? This is even allowed?</p>
<p>Most video games involve killing random people, so I’m not sure what could be done about this game.</p>
<p>Way to be super late. All the controversy over RapeLay was several months ago.</p>
<p>“Yes. Freedom to express promotion of human rights violation. Makes total sense.”</p>
<p>I assume you were being sarcastic and don’t support the game maker’s rights to free speech (or expression) and to make a living, in which case, you’re opinions are wrong. You managed to have wrong opinions. Congratulations.</p>
<p>I’d also like to point out rapes happen (or are acted… they’re not really rapes) on TV and in movies, no one cares about that. Rapes are described in music and books as well.</p>
<p>Ohhhh, excuse me. I apologize for being late, I don’t really have my head in the videogameosphere. :rolleyes: Just caught this on CNN today, so whatever.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>“Wrong opinions”? How old are you, 12? No, I don’t support the gamemakers’ “right” to promote human rights violation. It’s deeply pathetic that you do.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Rape in books, TV, and movies generally aren’t used as a means of pleasure for the audience, which is the point of this game. You rape the character. You win. Period.</p>
<p>You aren’t terribly bright, are you?</p>
<p>Many games have murder or theft as a ‘means of pleasure’. If they are allowed, how can this one be banned?</p>
<p>I’m against it, but I understand the free-speech thing. Considering what is allowed in other games (killing is essentially a video game norm), it’s not a stretch to imagine a game like this popping up eventually (especially if specifically for the adult genre). </p>
<p>Still weird as hell though.</p>
<p>In Japan, Rapelay is one of the many sexual games that electronic stores sell. Moreover, if you ever visit Japan, you will see many perverted fanarts, pictures, and manga. Even the anime displays fanservices to attract the audience. </p>
<p>Nevertheless, Rapelay has gone too far, but there are other media, such as Stepmother Sin (anime), that bears the same sin as the game.</p>
<p>I’m asian and I entirely agree that this is wrong, but I don’t think much can be done. Look.</p>
<p>We have Grand Theft Auto where we kill random people and pick up ho0k3rs. Isn’t killing people a moral and human rights violation?
Modern Warfare 2 is the #1 shooter game now, but there is a part where you play as an undercover agent in Russia shooting civilians in an airport. Look it up: “No Russian”
And there is a huge amount of blood from the people running.</p>
<p>Doesn’t this remind you of 9/11? Yet I even play mw2.
we aren’t so great either… =(</p>
<p>Plus you can just google stuff and its free. Ban Google!</p>
<p>^Except you don’t use Google to brutally violate and demean females.</p>
<p>I definitely do not condone this game or the message it sends, but I think that the issue lies more with our society/culture than with the twisted minds of the game makers. What is our perception of rape in society today and how does this game enforce it?</p>
<p>And while I think this game is digusting, I don’t think censorship is the answer. Banning RapeLay will not solve the issue of desensitization of violence in our world today. So let the sick play it, they technically have a right to.</p>
<p>Ah, the sick are basically incurable at this point. Let the makers squeeze out some money too…it’s quite a lucrative idea, honestly. Albeit pretty sadistic and neurotic.</p>
<p>It’s better that these people rape in a video game rather than in real life… let them get their urges out virtually</p>
<p>@Bostonbruins92, and what happens when those urges turn into real life urges? Here you have violent video games and movies, turning into shootings. I say they just need to find and eradicate the root of that perverseness :/</p>
<p>^ I agree.</p>
<p>This is absolutely disgusting!!! But if you disagree with this rapelay, I don’t understand how you can be in support of violent murder video games.</p>
<p>You guys don’t frequent the /h/ section of 4chan enough. </p>
<p>Those IDIOTIC women’s groups who are against are idiotic. This is a GAME that you play for fun, not something that’s supposed to be real. For Christ’s sake, the people in the game don’t even look human. If they outlawed this, they’d have to outlaw all porn, because this is just a fetish and it would be discriminatory to outlaw just this kind of thing.</p>
<p>Whenever I begin to feel hopeful about the world, a story like this always has to come out.</p>
<p>SERIOUSLY. W.T.F. is wrong with some people? This is beyond disgusting.</p>
