Rape games to be banned in Japan

[ozkai]

Don't they have 'Rape' Clubs in Japan?

Surely that's more substantial than a computer game.

There was one. It was an ill-advised college club, whose founders I believe are in jail. This reflects on the the founders of the club and not the country of Japan.

I've seen a lot of rape orientated DVD'S,magazines, books and have heard from Japanese themselves.

It appears to be a popular fantasy.

We are talking about Japan, but I'm sure it applies in other countries, just that it seems well "advertised" in Japan.

I won't elaborate on my experience at a LH in Osaka

I'll just add this interesting video to the board which explains the rape scene in Japan a little more.

Obviously it is a popular thought for both male and female.

You asked about rape clubs in Japan, of which there was one at a university. Rape is obviously illegal in Japan, so a club would be uncovered and leadership would be arrested.

Part of what makes Japanese adult industry so famous and popular world-wide is the availability of any fantasy on film. It may be a "popular" fantasy among fetishists, but I wouldn't not go so far as to say it is a popular fantasy among the general population.

i don't play these kinds of games or any hentai related games for that matter, but isn't it just a game? there's far worse genre's of games out there, that include murder, crime, violence, and educational (joking about the last one, okay?)

As wrong as playing a rape game may sound, it is still just a game and no one is getting hurt. I'm as much against banning them as I am agaisnt banning GTA or any video game.

I just watched that video and do not see how you could possibly say rape is "obviously a popular thought for both male and female".

Really? What is a worse genre of video game than the goal being the forced rape on a woman?

Exactly. Games like GTA might have a high rate of violence, others might be quite graphic, but it's still quite emotionless. Hentai rape games fetishize rape in a way that is actively encouraging the player to have a positive sexual response, and it compounds a 'women want it really' mentality that is incredibly harmful when it is applied to RL sex abuse situations. I don't think there has ever been a murder game that implied the victim wanted to be killed and enjoyed it really.
