Why ban them? In a way it's similar to banning games like Grand Theft Auto, which obviously is nonsense.
In a way yes but also in a way no. Violence for whatever reason even if its wrong is proven undeniable fact of almost any country. Even in Japan where crime is very low there still is crime and as little as it might be there is still violence these facts are accepted in every nation. But rape is universally scorned and to make a game that centers around it is very controversial even if you stamp an adult rating on it.

Even if you mention games like GTA some games stores ban it some countries ban it from even hitting their shores and even some states in the US have tried if not succeeded in banning the title. Its the same argument "does playing violent games make people commit violent crimes" or in this case "does playing a Rape based role sim make people go out and rape people"

Like i said this has been coming for years which is why there was little to non opposition to the ruling.
