Those crazy Japanese and their rape-simulation video games
Posted on Tue Feb 24 2009And you thought Grand Theft Auto was violent.
RapeLay, a game created in 2006 by a Japanese company called Illusion, features a main character, Kimura Masaya, who stalks and rapes a mother and her daughters. The gameplay also involves an option to force the women to have abortions. Following an outcry earlier this month, the game has been banned from Amazon and eBay. Today, New York advocates have demanded that the game be made unavailable permanently.
My question is: How did something so horrifyingly disgusting get produced in the first place?
