Poll: The Raping Game (Rapelay)

[blackguard89]

1.Yeah..the game is stupid, it has bad graphics, it doesn't actually teach you anything good...But hey neither did Gears of war, COD , duke nukem forever etc.Im oposed to the ban.Why? it's still a game. It's up to the consumer to decide what is good or not good for them.Unless you would rather have some sort of police deciding what games you should play every time.....

2.Many of you sirs fail to realize what I have typed above, but there's also the matter of culture involved here.What may be innaceptable in the US may be tolerable in Japan, and vice versa. I can remember allot of games not being released in japan because they depicted nuclear bombs....Soooo bottom line:
The message is stupid, the idea is stupid, but I'm still against banning it because it's still a game.A bad , horrbile, Shock inducing one.....But still it's a game :|
Someone else has puted it better already, "The consumer should decide what he buys and plays/reads/watches...No one else" and damn right it is.
Even though I hate COD, thin about it, today it will be that game, tomorow they'll say that other games you normally play now are who knows what kind of abominations.

freedom of speech is one thing. this is horrible. all there is to it

I have to agree with that. The notion that all sorts of violent, demeaning and illegal porn could be protected under freedom of speech seems rather stupid to me.

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)

The concept of censorship is evil but raping children isn't? Anyway, you are being too pragmatical about it. It's a question of principles, and my moral compass just says - no way. I'm a tolerant person but there's a limit to what Im ready to accept, and this is way beyond that limit.

Why do you think the line that should be drawn on free speech should be drawn on something as harmless as this? It's a bit more disgusting than the mainstream, sure, but for what reason should it be banned? Just because you think it's wrong? Sorry, you guys don't get to make that decision for other people.

*Sigh*, For you I'll say it again. My opinion is 'no ban', but this game was AND STILL IS banned in various countries, what the whole damn debate is about is whether that should be good or bad. Why does everyone think I favour this game being banned?

"You" in that case wasn't directed at you, but at the various people who do support the ban. Sorry for wording it vaguely.

XD I'm a woman and I say keep it legal. Why? Because it's a fetish game, just like any other sexual roleplay that already exists. Let's face it, rape is a fetish for a lot of people. I'd rather those who entertain those thoughts to have an outlet rather than go crazy and ACTUALLY rape someone. As long as we aren't giving kids access, what is the harm?

I'm stupidly free speech and voted for this to be legal in the poll.

But, at the same time I'm torn. I honestly believe that "living out" a rape fantasy wouldn't cause someone to be less likely to do it in real life. I'm no psychology nut or anything, but generally serial killers find it easier and easier to kill after their first murder.

I'm afraid this might be easing them into it *squick.

That's what they said about GTA and murder.

This is hentai so all of it is cartoony, so I'm not worried.

I believe there's a difference between the motivations between someone who buys a rape or sim and someone who buys a game that has murder or rape in it.

Not saying we should censor it. If there was a game where a kid was just on a table and the entire thing was just cutting them up ... That game would only be bought by people who have the desire to murder. I'm not sure if it would increase their chance to do so, but at that point you have to wonder if something like that is harming anyone.

Also, anyone owning a slicing up people sim would seem like a suspect to any murder that happens within a square mile.

freedom of speech is one thing. this is horrible. all there is to it

Horrible is subjective

You may find it horrible, other people don't. I betcha there are some things you like that other people find horrible.

raping little girls being bad is the norm. most people think its wrong. the only ones that dont are really messed up.

Wait WHAT? Raping people, stalking children IS horrible by all possible definitions. There is no way around it, and nobody with anything comparable to moral would say anything different. Maybe he has some kink that a lot of people find disgusting, yes, but if it's not extremely unethical it's not comparable to this.

No offense mate but your logic just doesn't make any sense to me

 

[CarlMin]

Free speech is one thing but bloody hell this is surely over the line.

A line that's purely subjective. Free speech protects unpopular speech. You don't need free speech for things that don't cross "the line".

No, free speech was originally supposed to assure that all sorts of political opinions can be stated no matter how controversial they might be - a cornerstone in democracy, (this may not include hatespeech)

This has nothing to do with a political opinion. This is just entertainment, if you can call it that.

 

[Luisen123]

Played it
It's not violent and it isn't really even rape
It's more sexual extortion
It's just your normal H game from the land of a different culture
Stop acting like kids and maybe play/watch some of the game before you QQ
Although maybe I'm asking to much from the escapist forums

Reminding you guys about this, also want to mention that that there aren't any actual kids on the game, more like flat-chested Japanese 18-year-olds and remember, Japanese women are petite.

I think you have been misinformed, there are no children in this game, unless you count 17 a child (not quite an adult but certainly not a child). and there isn't anything to do with stalking in this game, it's an opening cut scene then just choose girl>choose location>have sex

From the OP: "stalker/rapist/pedophile of a family which consists of a mother and her 2 daughter"

Also, thanks for doing me the honor of giving me your second comment on this site.

It makes me sick that so many of you don't think it should be banned. I realise that playing it won't make you a rapist, but there are some things that just need to banned on principle for being so fucked up...

It just seems that every time game censorship is mentioned, an army mindless sheep appear harping on about freedom of speech, regardless of the content. If a game comes out with child rape in it, would you stand up for it? Because that's only one step below this shit...

I know that censorship can sometimes to far, but this definitely not one of those times.

Like how violent video games dont let you kill children.

A few do. I think. Although there are movies where children are killed and nobody cares.

There's a difference between burning books and disallowing something abhorrent within your community (in this case a country)

There is very little difference at all. You burn books because you don't want those books in your community.

I love how you convientiently ignored the rest of my post which went on to explain it isn't like 'burning books' becuase it still would be in existence it would just be disallowed within the community.

 

[Schadrach]

A zero tolerance policy in regards to child porn has been decided on and I can't see any real reason why it shouldn't have been.

Because if it isn't real, then it isn't child porn.

Bullshit.

Its like saying hentai isn't porn because its animated.

It depends on why child porn is banned. If it's because the production of it requires sexually abusing children then there's no reason to ban works in which no actual children are involved. If it's simply because it's squicky, then we fall back on how far the idea that freedom of speech protects unpopular goes.

The OP probably saw the Wikipedia article and started assuming things. But I bet you didn't think he could be bias now did you?
Now are you going to trust his word, or my word?
And considering I have played this game I think it should be obvious

and no problem
