Game Rape? Raping Game?
Topic: Rapelay: Game
Summary:
Rapelay, a game created in 2006 in japan is simply a game about raping other women. However, only recently has the western media complained about the game and its controversy.
Significance:
The issue here is not about the game, since almost everyone can agree that created a rape simulator is morally wrong in so many ways. However, the issue is that out of 100,000 people, a UN survey states that Japan has the lowest rates of reported rapes. What is more shocking is that out of 100,000, the country with the highest reported rapes is none other then Canada with almost 78 out of 100,000 people raped.
When you imagine a rape frenzied country, you would imagine some third world country with no infrastructure. Looking at the rape statistics, clearly the game is not compelling/influencing Japanese gamers to rape others as they only have 2 out of 100,000 reported rapes.
Since this game is not increasing the rape statistics, should it still be available to the public? In my opinion, yes. What a person does in the privacy of his home should be respected, unless of course it effects other people. Regardless of that, in fear of shutting down the creators of Rapelay will no longer continue their rape series. In fact they are going to be creating "cleaner" adult games in the future. Also, this game could be lowering the statistics as we speak. This game gives people a legal way to get any "rape-like" feeling out of them rather then harming someone else.
However, I doubt the creators of the first video game ever would have thought that someday people will create a rape game.
Thank you for reading :D
