NOT WORRIED, PUSSIES

I COULD MAKE TEN OF THESE GAMES IN A SINGLE FUCKING SECOND

i hate when i have to defend pure shit like this, but i'm not a fan of censorship

[Great Rumbler]

In celebration of this huge victory over morally disgusting content in games, I'm going to play some GTAIV, where I can beat up hookers, steal cars, and murder cops.

[cool breeze]

I don't get it.  Is the appeal watching your virtual prick giving it to a polygon or actually raping the polygon? If the rape isn't important, they can simulate dating in Japan.  You pay a gir to shit on your face inside a fake train.

I'm not being facetious, I'm completely serious here. Rape is morally disgusting, but killing cops is totally awesome and cool. Look it up in a book sometime if you don't believe me.

It's a different problem. See, you jerk off to this rape shit you know? It's a detailed raping sim, that actually makes you orgasm. So the feeling is so strong, you can imagine yourself raping that anime chick in such a vivid fashion that you cum.

When i shoot a cop in GTAIV, all i see is a NPC ragdoll falling down. It's not detailed enough to make me feel any sort of emotion, to the point where i'm either cumming or puking.

That's the big difference, i'm not playing GTAIV with a hard on.

R.I.P. Rapelay  :'(

[Flannel Boy]

That was a terribly written article.

[Flannel Boy]

I find the very premise of these games disgusting and have never played one, but I think the ban is unjustified without evidence that these games cause tangible harm. On the face of, it doesn't look like they do. Japan is inundated with loli-rape games, yet the rape rate is substantially lower than other industrial nations, nations in which such games are unpopular. That doesn't mean these games decrease the incidents of rape, but it's prima facie evidence that they don't increase it.

the comments are hilariously awful

true for most comments anywhere

[brawndolicious]

I doubt that feminist groups think that these types of games TURN a person into a pedophile or rapist.  Probably they are just opposed to any negative or in this case, highly fucked up images of women in media.

Like the argument that watching porn might change men's expectations and make them more misogynistic.

[Mondain]

this is another sad example that feminist groups have way too much clout nowadays and will seek to censor or render illegal anything that oppresses women in any way or paints them in a bad light

this is another step towards the complete emasculation of the civilized world and the criminalization of the male sex drive, some weeks ago in london they lobbied for the banning of an innocuous beer ad that encouraged a guy to go and approach a girl in a bar, and they succeeded

I wonder in what kind of sterile, overly PC society we will live in 30 years from now, with mangina politicians continuously bending over to their whims and fancies

Equality Now claims that the games promote sexual violence, a claim that is one step removed from saying the games cause sexual violence. Other groups make similar claims regarding all types of depictions of violence in the media. But such claims are looked at more skeptically.

Like the argument that watching porn might change men's expectations and make them more misogynistic.

Is there any reason to believe that the argument is true?

if only these dykes knew what they were doing to our manhood!

[drew]

weve won the battle but the war rages on

+1 for the hometeam

[Flannel Boy]

There was internal pressure from one of the ruling parties in Japan to ban these games. I think its members were more influential than the members of Western based feminist groups.

if only these dykes knew what they were doing to our manhood!

They're turning us into pasty, emaciated opa-agers, ravaged by tumors and bullied by our older brothers.

[Mondain]

Japanese politicians brought this up in the Diet because western feminist blogs randomly got wind of this and their readers made a shitstorm, making Amazon.com apologize and remove the item from one of their random joe shmuck stores that was somehow selling a warezed copy of a fan-translated version of Rapelay, although I've no doubt that they already wanted to legislate on this matter, in this affair the feminist blogs were clearly the catalyst

I see these regulations as needless and abusive censorship for what is after all an harmless outlet for some males

and Malek I'm sorry but I'm doing wonderful, I have a busy and enjoyable social life, I date, I'm graduating and working in a year, I'm in fit shape, in a great mood and in perfect health, better than yours according to your blog threads, plus me and my brother stopped fighting about four years ago and have gotten along merrily ever since, just three weeks ago I invited him over to my apartment and we played and had fun for a week-end and I'm to help him move out in his condo next month

[Flannel Boy]

better than yours according to your blog threads

I can't argue. 

[Bebpo]

What's sad is Japan will do this but they won't ban the loli manga.  I fear waaaaaaay too many people in Japan read that shit based off how much is made.

tbh, I'd be down if they banned all loli in general just so we could have less crappy anime shows each season taking up slots where a decent show could be.

Maybe the rapers are so good the victims don't complain.

From what I've seen of Japaporn, they be complaining.

I'm with you on finding them disgusting, but at the same time I'm irate that there are people going after the rape-games without going after the rape-movies/videos, rape-novels, rape-comics... it's just part of the moral panic around videogames.

Quick edit: yes, I know it's turned out to be a non-news item. It probably stood a better chance of being realized BEFORE all of the morally outraged liberals and rape-game fans became irate and mustered a defense.

[Cyanista]

lol a harmless outlet.  Mondain needs to be banned from life.

I'm not a big fan of censorship, either, but I think at this point Japan's reputation needs all the help it can get.
