Japanese Video game sparks outrage!
A Japanese game entitled "Rapelay" has been banned and pulled from stores, however it can still be downloaded on the internet. The object of the game is to have the main character rape women and young girls on a train, impregnate them, and then convince them to have an abortion! Out of all the controversial games that I have been blogging about, this is one of the most appalling. The idea that anyone would want to make a sport out of something as serious as rape is absolutely disgusting. The above scene is a clip from the game, where you can see a hand groping this random train rider and a script describing the set-up. I am absolutely disgusted by the game designers and anyone involved in this. I feel like there is a boundary line, and "Rapelay" successfully crosses it. Although the above scene is not a graphic depiction of rape, it is still encouraging something that is absolutely immoral in my eyes and the eyes of civilized society. I agree that the game should be banned, however I don't understand why it was even created in the first place. At one point is something created for "shock" value vs. creating something that is so ethically wrong that it is criminal. BOOO RAPEPLAY!
