Rape Day Game

Wasn't there a game released in Japan a couple years back already, where the object was to rape as many woman as possible?
 
A serious question, if it were to happen to you, what would you rather pick?

1. Getting brutally murdered
2. Getting raped

Maybe I'm completely out of touch with other people, but I'd pick number 2 anyday. Neither desirable, but you know if you had to pick.

So I do find it strange that absolute visceral, over the top violence like the new Mortal Kombat is socially acceptable. Yet rape simulator makes people have a little flip out.

Is either of these games good for society? I don't know. Again just speaking from my own experience, I played the most violent disturbing games growing up and have zero impulse to murder and impale pedestrians on my car. So can't say it was good for me, if I could pick again I'd rather do something constructive, but can't say it was bad per se either.
 
Thought the Japanese had a monopoly on this kind of ****

That's an interesting point. I don't think that I could properly address it without writing an essay. Even the law generally treats rape as a lesser crime than murder, but when I consider the two, rape somehow strikes me as the least forgivable. I guess it would depend on the nature of the murder, and even the nature of the rape, but for whatever reason violent rape, seems more like taking a giant shyt on another person's very soul than simply killing them.

Maybe it's because so much killing is impersonal and rape is perversely intimate.

If a game about rape is ok, is a game about raping babies also okay?

Serious question.

Depends what you mean by ok. If you mean should it be allowed, then yes, as long as no actual babies are harmed. It's a free speech issue. I do think we should be alarmed by any culture that views either as legitimate forms of entertainment rather than sick attempts at humour, or being edgy.

Ah I like that actually. Sure it should be allowed, but if society isn't le fcked no one should want to play it, hence no one would go through the effort of making it.

I was just wondering if the average person who would be comfortable with the one existing, so too would be with the other, as in one way, there's no real difference (whether you're raping a woman, a child or a pig, it's all pixels after all).

On the other hand, as far as I am aware, it is illegal in some countries to depict child pornography that is simulated, which I think most people accept as reasonable.

Myself, personally, I am inclined to think that of course it should be allowed, as should any media, really, that while depicting harm, is not generated by perpetrating actual harm. That being said, I don't know if it's healthy for those who might be influenced by it: Is it an outlet, is it a potentiating factor for destructive behaviour in the real world? I'm really not sure.

Many of us happily eat murdered animals, whilst condemning people who do the sex on an animal, so wherever our morality comes from, it sure is confounding to me why I feel the way I do, as logic often doesn't get me there.

It's the good 'ol desensitization, I think. We see violence everyday, everywhere. It's synonymous with entertainment. Rape, not so much.

I've yet to see evidence that watching porn creates rapists, listening to death metal creates cannibals, playing video games creates murderers, or that watching horror movies creates psycho-killers...

As for murdered animals, you can't murder an animal, and 99.999999% of your ancestors ate animal flesh - you wouldn't exist if they hadn't. Eating animals isn't inherently immoral, although the associated, unnecessary cruelty, and consequences for the environment might make it so.
 
I say release the game and then whom ever downloads and play it....... put them on a special watch list....

Actually there is evidence that games/movies/series/porn shapes SOME people, however they were messed up to begin with, and/or gained inspiration from said entertainment.

As for the game, I had my opinion that it is appalling, however some people here make good points, I played the shyte out of GTA going on huge killing sprees, robbing stores, etc. So what makes this one different from them is a good question. I think the game would be viewed in a different light if the antagonist(the player) dies in the end like most movies we enjoy today.
