As soon as rape games are banned, what's to stop banning any games that involve killing?

We have already discussed about GTA....read the first 2 or 3 pages.

I did, but I was simply showing that as an example of a game that may be censored in the future. Read the entire post. My point is that murder is still as immoral as rape in the eyes of most people. What's to stop someone like Jack Thompson from using rape games as an example of influencing a gamer and than redirecting attention to games that contain killing? In GTA, you still kill people. That's unavoidable.

This reinforce the viscious myth that women only resist sex and have to have it forced upon them, after which they will enjoy it. That is the single most wide spread justification presented by defendants in date rape prosecutions. And since this it marketed to teenagers, it needs to stop.

But if it is a fantasy, and the user knows it (they are generally anime characters, not photo-realistic) then what is the harm? Is it realistic to think someone might apply this "women will like it if convinced" technique from the games to real life? Is there any evidence of that?

Rape Games are games for sick people who wish they could rape in the real world but can't, so they play these games so they can feed their hunger for raping in a different way.

I don't have a problem with Dating Games, but Rape Games is just sick.

It's also worth mentioning that Japan has a low crime rate. Just saying.

Well if you put it that way maybe its better seeing as i kill plenty of people in video games but would not do it in real life. The games are still wrong though.

Would a game where you were a rape victim trying to not get raped be much better?

Japanese are busy people. I doubt they have time for crimes.
