I have this theory that sexual repression is the real reason our culture is so screwed up sexually... if you can work out your bizarre urges in simulation, you have less incentive to do the real thing.Amnestic said:

To all the people who are complaining that CNN is late to the party needs to realise that the rest of world does not think about videogames constantly the way we all do. We are part of the video game culture. Judging other cultures based on their lack of knowledge about our culture is the very thing the OP is arguing against doing.
Nobody not in the "videogame wolrd' has any idea what rapelay is, so this story is worth telling on CNN even if it isnt breaking news to us.

Its funny, if it wasn't for the name, western audiences wouldn't even guess that it was about rape.
Because there have been OODLES of rape games in japan, even some that have gotten name recognition in other places, but no one really noticed, because they never played the game to find out it was about rape

We have no say in what they do. If they must ban adult games then they must ban adult movies because it is just as easy for someone to get ahold of those.
Bah, I was just finished scrubbing all memory of this game from my mind!
Although I must be honest, I wouldn't mind playing it to see what the fuss is about. If it's anything like most other hentai games, it'll be more funny than disturbing. Unless the problem is that it's apparently trivialising rape?

Sooo. Why aren't they throwing a ***** fit about the messed up storyline in F.E.A.R? or the mass amount of killings in COD.
A lot of people find murder worse than rape.

Wellllcome to Japannnnn.
No really CNN you're a little late to the party [sub]The RAPEparty[/sub]
Although it's their culture, I still think we have some kind of right to criticize this. I mean it IS rape......

lol, i guess they either ran out of material or were bored and wanted to do a "retro" article.

Thirded (I agree. And the racism/xenophobia and homophobia present in most mainstream games disturb me far more than nonconsensual sex in a (reputedly) crappy game that not that many people worldwide played.)ProfessorLayton said:

Although it's interesting how films with sex stuff are always more frowned upon than violence. Apparently it corrupts our youth far quicker :S
Plus apparently kids can't tell the difference between games and reality.
Hooray for our enlightened society!
That's a product of U.S. society rather than globally, I think. Compare it to how say...the Italians (or, more appropriately for this thread, the Japanese) view sex and you tend to see a clear distinction.SnipErlite said:

I know, I mean right now I'm talking to you in real life, but if I turn around....is......that reality too? I don't know!?
