Amazon Drops Japanese Video Game Featuring Rape, Abortion

[R.K.]

Oh man… Japanese… What the hell kind of game is that??? Has anyone played this stuff???

Massive online retailer Amazon.com has dropped its listing for a controversial Japanese video game called Rapelay that involves raping women and forcing them to have abortions.

Gaming web sites that have reviewed the simulation describe the "tears glistening in the young girl's eyes" as the player attacks her in graphic detail.

Owners of the game begin it by assuming the role of a man who stalks a mother on a subway in Japan before violently sexually assaulting her. They eventually move on to attacking two daughters described a virgin schoolgirls.

The Rapelay game, made for the Microsoft Windows platfform, also includes a "freeform mode" where the player can rape any woman and get friends to join in on the attacks. [*jaw drops*]

According to a post in a gaming forum, the game also includes abortions. Every time a rape is committed there is a chance the victim could become pregnant.

"If she does become pregnant you're supposed to force her to get an abortion, otherwise she gets more and more visibly pregnant each time you have sex. If you allow the child to be born then the woman will throw you in front of a train," the post explains. "Take that pro-life movement!"[@_@; has anyone tried this game?]

“It is intolerable that anyone would purchase a game that simulates the criminal offence of rape," he told the Telegraph.

"To know that this widely available through a major online retailer is utterly shocking, I do not see how this can be allowed. I will be raising this matter in Parliament and hope that action is taken to prevent the game from being sold," Vaz added.

Illusion, creators, is a company based in Yokohama, Japan that also makes an offensive series of games called Battle Raper and Battle Raper 2 that feature sexual assaults but no abortions.

o.o eh? Who lets people make these things o.0? Dont they already have enough old men touching up women in Japan... Its a sick game.

Though I want to outline one line from that:

“It is intolerable that anyone would purchase a game that simulates the criminal offence of rape,"

I agree with this, I do. But I'm just wondering, why isnt this ok, but murder and GBH is? Like murder and brutual beatings in games doesnt bother me like this does, but surely they should too? As they are all horrific.

[Barbed Lungs]

:O this is shocking, who would play a game like that?

[broken_ice]

so not cool, that's a total line crosser

[Jack]

That's insane. :confused:

Who the hell plays that sort of thing?

I would like to... but just out of a sick curiousity.

I was wondering that as well.

[Gram Negative]

That's freaking awesome. I want a copy.

[Robin]

You can think of this in 2 ways

1. What a sick pile of S**t, Who would ever play that kind of a game, and who could think of creating it

2. What about if someone was thinking about rapeing, This may take there mind off of it and give them the rush, Not saying its right, but rather on a game than in real life.......

[Oiseau the Little Bird!]

Hahahah holy shit, leave it to the Japanese to create the craziest, most offensive video game ever. I sort of want to get a copy. I already have Bible Black for the PC, but I doubt it's as morally challenging as this, uh, piece of work here.

[onesadgummybear]

that is really sick. how could somebody even form the idea of makeing a game out of rape????? its reallly just sad that this game has gotten sold at all.

[Toast]

Wow, that's extremely sick. And I like games where you just kill people.
Invert: I think part of the reason is because this is extremely offensive, where murder isn't. This implies that women are objects and unequal. Although I like the part about getting thrown in front of a train....

[InSovietRussiaORGASMGotU]

Awesome, I want a copy of this. It'd be much better than any GTA game, plus it in a way teaches a valuable life lesson (which I do agree with or else it wouldn't be a life lesson I'd like): if you get a girl, and then you bang her and make her pregnant, you cant keep banging her while she's getting closer to giving birth, hence, a need for an abortion. Then, either you get someone else or keep her and start over. However, my beliefs for this don't apply to men because men cant get pregnant so that doesn't work.

As for the beatings, that's purely physical damage. Rape involves physical and emotional damage so it lasts longer. Murder, well that's physical but once it's done to that person, it's done. I guess it also would make some women angry and beat them down as it targets only women, whereas murder doesn't matter on gender, so this game promotes inequality. But, then again so do a bunch of things and people. Oh well, doesn't really matter.

It's not really that bad. I mean, the people who made it didn't use real girls to rape, so it's harmless pixels. Although I certainly can see this being used as a scapegoat by many critics.

Um. If you've seen japanese horror, it's kind of like this. I believe a movie I saw was called Nurses, a guy fell in love with his best friend, who was male, and the movie is mostly about him changing gender so he'll fall in love with him while japanese nurses get ravaged.

[Dasha]

I laughed. I actually laughed out loud when I read that. That's just....wow. xD I actually find that game hilarious, and am mildly tempted to play it just to see if its actually that bad.

[udontno]

I find this game really sick. I can't imagine why anyone would want to play this, but I'm very against violent video games anyway.

[Blackwing]

Its a game if you don't like it don't buy it.

lol
I was thinking more RAPEMAN comix but oh well
Thanks for the reference

Its a game if you don't like it don't buy it.

I couldn't even if I would like to, not sold outside Japan, or at least it's harder to get it.

[Blackwing]

I bet if you looked on the internet you could find it.

[DoesThisLookInfected?]

If you haven't noticed, Japan's violence rate is much lower than America's. They can enjoy these without acting out. Just goes to show you that video games and violent movies aren't the reason why people become violent. It comes from the upbringing.

(Oh, and I actually kind of would like to play this game...)

[Penguin Queen]

Thats sick. Its just sick. Its glorifying something which is absolutely horrific.

There's already plenty of games where you can murder, steal, rob, etc...

[A]

It's not real rape or violence, therefore it should most definitely be available to buy. I don't see what's wrong with it being that no one's actually being hurt by it.

murdering and stealing and robbign are nothing like as bad as rape.

But who cares? It's a gamer commanding pixels on a screen to murder, steal, rob and rape - who's hurt by that except other pixels? The answer is no one. This is censorship, and it's unacceptable and unnecessary. Just because you, or the general public, think something is distasteful or disgusting does not mean it should be censored or banned.

Similar case can be made with DRAWN or fully CG child pornography, it doesn't really physically hurt children, but I've noticed it's not allowed in most places, as well, just like real child porn (I don't know about it being illegal or not, but on most websites those kind of images are taken off).

Not sure if you're arguing against me or just making comparisons.

Anyway, I think it should be, it isn't real either. I oppose any and all suppression of freedom of expression. Drawing something should by no means, ever, ever be illegal.

[Guardian_Angel]

wow.
When I first saw this I was alarmed, then I was weirdly astonished at what a gamer of any kind would get out of this?

so I went and looked it up on wikipeidia, and this is less of a game then more of a interactive hentai porn with some kind of weird storyline.

Also in both the endings it ends with the woman getting vengeance and the man ends up murdered.
I mean this conflicts with my belief of free speech and well a game is a game, and obviously its geared towards the large market of "gropers" inside of Japan.
If you look at it from a porn perspective does it make it any more acceptable to you?
The game is working on a fantasy basis and for me, I personally would find it distasteful.

I mean I have played games where murder and mutilation is glorified, but its escapology a thrill, I think this game is just playing t peoples fantasy...

In any respect I don't think it should be censored? I mean, its the whole thing about what people think. if a person thinks about rape should it be a crime? if he fantasises about it in his own home is it a crime? and if he purchases a game using cartoon or animated pictures? is it a crime.... because then we start prosecuting people about what they think... and that's where it gets dangerous.

Prosecuting people for what they think is pretty stupid. Thoughts are harmless, actions are harmful, so why prosecute the harmless? Also, how do you even know what a person is actually thinking? Everyone has their own fantasies and prosecuting for those fantasies is idiotic.

If I look at it for what it is about, it's very appealing to me. Looking at it from a porn perspective it's also appealing, so either way, it sounds like a fun and interesting game.

This is totally sick and f***ed up, but I think you have a point, if someone was planning to do this for real, then this could be beneficial. Giving them the rush and helping to sort of.. take their mind off of it, it's much better to rape pretend-girls in a game than it is to rape real girls in real life.

I don't think it should be banned... it's just a game, sick as it is. Just as long as they have a restriction not allowing children to buy it or anything...

Well that is opinion. I find murder to be worse than rape, even some other crimes I consider to be way worse than rape.

If a person wants to play a game like this, I say let them play, just like I say any other game. As long as a person does not go out and do anything against the law, they hey, go ahead.

So um... would you rather I rape somebody & let them live or murder them?
People can live good lives even after being raped & not be a mental wreck over it for the rest of their time.

[Fucking Done]

Wtf? ahaha next they're going to make a video of that 4 girls fingerpaint shit. God no.

[Gram Negative]

Ummm, are you saying killing a person isn't as bad as rape? WTF?

[Jesus Christ.]

at least it doesn't promote murder, stealing, drug use and prostitution like the extremely popular GTA?

[rescueisnotamyth]

it would take the japanese to come up with a game like this. dude, if anybody forced me to have sex with them, then tried to make me get an abortion, i'd throw them in front of a train.

[eunoia]

"Messed up" doesn't cover this. Good for Amazon for dropping it. Fail on ever carrying it.

Why? It's a video game. It's not meant to be carried out in real life.

I say fail on Amazon for dropping it.

Do I need to restate my point that I said before about Japan?

[InSovietRussiaORGASMGotU]

Why exactly is murder not as bad?

So, am I right to say that if there is a person who has killed 5 people and a person who has raped 5 people, the rapist should be punished more than the murderer?

[Oiseau the Little Bird!]

Quoting a stupid quote and analysing it does not magically make it make sense. Also, entitled to opinions, no matter how weird or silly, etc.

[delilah]

someone a bit earlier in this thread made the comment it's more like porn with a storyline. at first i was kinda put off when i read the OP but after reading that comment, about it being more like porn, i kinda got it. im not a gamer haha i can't play games at all i just suck ahha. buttt

i'm into rape fantasys, and like hell would i want to be raped in real life, there is a v big difference here. i can fantasise all i like about a gangbang, and in real life, i would NEVER and cannot stress that enough, EVER do anything of the sort or enjoy it if it was forced on me. and i feel for those who have experienced anything of that sort.

so to my main point, if i played this game, id probs get turned on! hardly means im keen on being raped, (or haha obv as i'm straight, i'm not keen on raping other women)..i mean maybe it's for the guys out there who get turned on by that stuff, but wouldn't actually rape women, just like the fantasy. there is plenty of rape porn, bondage porn etc and shitloads of porn where women have cocks forced down there throat until they are crying (and these are real women, not cartoons!!)

i agree the creators of this game are a little twisted, but i hardly think the game is more disgusting then anything else out there.
