Japanese Eroge Company Renames Rape Games to "Platinum Games"

People are completely over reacting to the existence of these games. There's a whole psychological aspect of rape fantasy that makes it appealing to people who would never want to rape/be raped. It's taboo for one, there's a whole lot of powerplay in there that people from bdsm culture would find appealing, so on and so forth. Here's a look at it from a female perspective.

I'm a chick, I've played some of the little flash 'platinum' games online out of curiosity and they're so far divorced from reality that I'm not really threatened by idea of men playing them. As far as I'm concerned it's just an extension of the drive that makes regular couples break out the fluffy handcuffs when they're feeling a bit saucy.

Seriously, if people took the principles they learned from erotic media and used them in real life then 70's plumbers and pool-cleaning guys would have been the most over sexed guys on the planet. Hot female twins everywhere would be having constant threesomes oblivious of the disturbing incest aspect of it, and pregnancy rates would be down all over the world because guys would all... pull the train out of the tunnel... out of some strange need to watch themselves... unload the cargo... okay I'm running out ridiculous euphimisms but you get what I mean!

So you're saying this:

"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."

Doesn't bother you in the least? Or were you only reffering to whatever flash game you played?

I feel like I'm only repeating what other have said at this point but- why should I be disturbed by this kind of realism and not the bloody and gratuitous attention to the the last gory detail in a game like man hunt? I haven't played rapelay and I don't intend to, for the same reason I haven't played manhunt- I personally don't find that stuff entertaining. But I'm not going judge people for how they interact with a pile of pixels because it has no bearing on their relationship with sex or women in real life. And to suggest that it does reflects badly on anyone who has ever played a violent video game, because clearly they're only playing them out of a secret and sociopathic desire to graphically beat maim and kill thousands of people.

Once again you make a good point, but I never said manhunt wasn't disturbing either, I wouldn't be sad if that game was banned too, but the protaganist of manhunt is only killing these people because he has to in order to survive, not because he gets some sick pleasure out of it, and the people hes killing can fight back, they aren't helpless or forced to be killed over and over and over. Not that I've actually PLAYED either of these games.

and on an unrelated note, when I wrote this we had the exact same number of posts, wierd...

that whole IP blocker thing is useless though monster hunter frontier blocks any non japan IP from going online but I still do and so do many non japanese (through use of private servers and the like >.> some people even go on the main server somehow)
