iOS game lets you beat your boyfriend

[Mr Cwtchy]

Yes, because domestic abuse is so fucking hilarious.

I almost spat that at my monitor, such was my disgust.

Glad to see the response is almost unanimously negative though.

Perhaps we males everywhere could use this to study the enemies' tactics and formulate countermeasures! Oh and this game is bad and there are double standards and stuff. The best way for this game to die is for no one to play it or even pay it any attention. But as long as people don't take it too seriously or as, God forbid, an actual tool to learn how to deal with a boyfriend, I see no real issue with it.

Um, Unless fetish-y describes choking your spouse while driving, I'm going to go with no.

Make no mistake, my friend. Somewhere, out there, there would be a video of some girl choking a guy while driving, and there would be quite the number of guys who would get turned the fuck on by it.

Or we see a news story about a woman who tried that on her man and he got fed up and pushed her out of the car in open traffic. Either way this game is in poor taste and the creator should be shamed.

 

[Zhukov]

I just find this funny.

I know, I know, if it was a woman on the receiving end this game would be hurled into the fiery pits of hell, good for the goose, good for the gander, equality, blah-de-blah... I get it.

But it still makes me laugh.

 

[TaboriHK]

This game is the definition of cheap heat.

This actually really pisses me off... I can't believe people would design a game like this and find it acceptable to put out for sale.
This also made me really angry, just be sure to watch all the way through: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LlFAd4YdQks

Really? ... You're really going to bring that up seriously? I think it's well established that games alone do not make one do acts like that. You don't play a shooter and get the urge to kill people, nor do you play a fighting game and feel the need to go out on the street and kick someone's arse. Unless, of course, there is something a little wrong with the person to begin with, in which you can hardly blame the game.

The promo pic is a woman choking her bf when he's driving? Seems like a bad idea to me.

 

[Thoric485]

Can't say I'm offended. It's dumb as shit, but with over a million apps in the store, it's pretty clear the barrier of entry isn't exactly high.

Giving it attention only helps it stand out in the cesspool.

is it a suicide pact?

it doesn't look like he's having fun. More like a murder-suicide.

I don't think the game will make a killing anyway.

What is with Apple putting crap like this in their store anyway?

OT: Because abuse is funny if it's female on male [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DoubleStandardAbuseFemaleOnMale?from=Main.AbuseIsOkayWhenItIsFemaleOnMale]! (have fun never escaping that site)

Spoiler: Also for some humor!

I love that picture!

15 seconds

AND I HAVE FOUR NEW TABS.

Damn you. Damn you!

OT:
Uh, this is vile. Just vile. On every level. But thats ok, everyone seems to be agreed. So there is not much of discussion value here.

 

[crimson sickle2]

I can only guess this will sell badly regardless of what is said now. I can only hope the creators will give up making games after this, seeing as they seem to have little creative wit or standards.

 

[Generic4me]

This game is fucking stupid.
Anybody who buys it is fucking stupid.

It's anti-male. And it'd cause a shitstorm if it were inverted. And double-standards are stupid.

That's all that needed to be said.

 

[Singularly Datarific]

wow ....

really .... ?

good lord, apple really has no standards do they?

yeah they do! Can't let those subpar Adobe products on there!

If it was free, I'd download just to see what's up. I regularly play a large swap of XBL indie games in one sitting with a friend Two Best Friends Play style. No way I'd support this with my money though.
