New York City boycotts Japanese rape games

Here’s a tip: if you have an anime ero game, don’t play it in front of your NYC Council parent/parents/guardian/police officer/firefighter/anyone! Someone messed up and now the entire New Your City council is blood lusted against Japanese ero games, especially ones called “Rapelay” by Illusion Soft. CBS News reports on how people are so upset with the game that everyone wants to ban it from store shelves in New York.

Christine Quinn says "You cannot take rape or sexual assault and package it into a game. It is a violent crime which destroys women's lives.” But what you don’t understand, Mrs. Quinn, is that rape is the way people shake hands in Japan. Anyways, the game was sold on Amazon, but not anymore thanks to this fiasco among others; I’m surprised it was on Amazon to begin with.

It took soccer mom America a long time to discover this hidden subgenre of ero games; but now that they have their claws in it, we are never going to hear the end of it. First it begins with ero rape games, then what next? Ero rape guro games, Ero rape guro loli games, Atlus games? It will never end.

Now this is one of those articles where I am bound to hear “F%$# those Japanese and their f%$# up games. They are sick people.” Well, you know what? I’d rather play a game where you rape someone, than a game where you have to kill someone with a plastic shopping bag. Games about killing are usually 100% OK in the eyes of most people. But when it comes to rape that is unheard of. I’m not defending rape by any means, and would (most likely) never play a game that just features it; but seriously, let’s get our priorities straight. Also, only .0001334% of people currently living in Japan know this game exists, so to completely blame the entire Japanese people, including the Emperor and the samurai Musashi, is completely ignorant.

Regardless, IT'S JUST A GAME! AND A SH*TTY ONE AT THAT!
