Whatever, if people want to play it then let them play it. I doubt it's going to turn anyone into a rapist and I can see a possible advantage of it giving an outlet to potential rapists. Rape certainly isn't a light topic but why does that mean you can't have a game about it? If you want to argue that it may upset rape victims then I won't say you're wrong but anything will not only upset at least one person but will also not be an exclusive source of upsetting material for that person. I prefer freedom over censorship, even in cases like this.
I don't like the banning of things in general. Yes, some things need to be banned, but most things that are banned don't deserve to be banned at all and I'm sure Australians would agree with me. If it doesn't harm anyone then let it be. As most people have said I am all for free speech, but then again who isn't. Unless you're a fascist

Do I want it banned? No. I don?t trust any government agency to use that power fairly.
Do I want it to exist? No. It?s one of those games that are brought up in debates far too often for my tastes.
As a crazy libertarian, I think that whatever people chose to do on their own time is their business provided it harms no one. So while I wish it didn?t exist, I don?t want it banned.

Know what? I'm gonna say go ahead and ban it. Rape is illegal, and as much as I'm against censorship I'm at least savvy enough to know that the people that want to play it are going to get it one way or another. The only hands it will stay out of are the ones that we don't really want them to be in, ie, little Jimmy who asked his mom if he could have it who subsequently bought it without a first thought much less a second because she's a bad parent.
I think he was talking about the "child" part of the porn. He is saying that if it isn't a real child, it should not be banned. And I kind of agree with him on that 1.Hardcore_gamer said:
I recall a painting that summed it up nicely. It was of a pipe, and under it (written in French) it said "This is not a pipe". It isn't a real thing and people should remember that it isn't a real thing.
(I would totally post the image, but I forgot how to).
Edit: bringer of illumination ninja'd the point of this post.
You are wrong, its other way around. By banning this piece of crap, you are acknowledging that the 'nut jobs' are right, hence opening the door to ban other games. Say, that involve killing people ? I mean, how murder is less wrong then rape, right ?Draitheryn said:
Free speech is one thing but bloody hell this is surely over the line.
Like how violent video games dont let you kill children.
There's a difference between burning books and disallowing something abhorrent within your community (in this case a country) the thing will still exist we just don't want it's nastiness round here thanks. Deadly spiders are allowed to continue existing but they can stay in the jungle.

Jesus, it's 5 years old, get with the program. There have been so damn many controversies about this on "news" stations that it doesn't even matter.
Also, no game should be banned. It'll just encourage the government to ban more. Even if the game is awful.

the difference is that those media aren't interactive. there's a difference between freedom of speech and encouraging people to engage in a horrible crime that ruins livesSeventh Actuality said:
There are worse. Thats Japan for ya, right there. It has nothing illegal by Japanese laws.
It is not sold anywhere else.

Can you name one serial rapist who blamed it on the hentai? I'm not trolling, I mean it. Just one act of rape where the person said, look I was totally cool, but then I got all this stuff from Japan and BOOM. Rape o'clock.AkujiDelano said:
I was looking for a website I found a while back that showed a link between internet porn and declining sexual assault charges. The whole idea behind it is that people can get their jollies from something played up to be real on the internet without going out and causing these crimes themselves. I think your argument about serial killers is a little off. Serial killers generally do find it easier to kill a man after their first, but that doesn't mean if I play a game about killing people (gee I wonder where I could find one of those) it doesn't mean I'll find it easier to murder someone just because I did in the game.NightlyNews said:
That's where this logic really breaks down for me, gamers are right behind a game where you murder countless people yet they get a little uneasy when the crime shifts to an equally heinous crime.
all that being said it's not a game that interests me, I keep being reminded of the quote:
"I don't agree with what you are saying, but I will defend with my life your right to say it."
You like what you did there? Giving your opinion? Well your comment just bent that ammendment over a barrel, pal. Censorship is EVIL! and don't try and poke a hole in my comment about beeping out words or blurring an object. As long as it doesn't impede on anothers rights, it A-O.K, and since these are animated people, they have no rights(reading that back sounds twisted for some reason, lol)CarlMinez said:
