"Rape Simulator" Video Game - March 10th 2009, 07:25 PM

Here's the article- http://www.slate.com/id/2213073/

Basically, Rapelay is a Japanese video game in which the player, well, simulates a rape- the player sees a girl standing on a train platform, and has to corner and attack her. It's not available on Amazon or Ebay, and it's not in any brick-and-mortar stores in the US. However, it's pretty easy to find it online.

So, what do you all think of this video game? Should it be banned, or should it be allowed?

My first instinct was that this game is absolutely horrible, and should be completely banned. But, there are SO MANY violent video games that involve shooting and killing people- if those are okay, then shouldn't a game involving rape be okay, took? Killing someone and rape are both crimes- if one (killing) is okay in a video game, then should they both be okay? Or is one (killing vs. rape), in the context of video games, worse than the other? Do video games like this, that showcase crime of some sort (whether they involve killing, shooting, theft, or rape) encourage children to partake in crime?
