Confederate Sharpshooter

I wonder if the company spokesman would have problems with the software if he/she had ever been raped, or had a friend, family member, etc raped. That Amazon even listed it for sale is unbelievable, even if it was for foreign markets. Geez!!!!!

Short Version:
It's just some foreign half-assed game.
Long Version:
Amazon, like any company, can chose chose what it wants or doesn't want to sell, it's common sense. The issue has gotten ridiculous recently though, with Equality Now forcing the ban of Rapelay along with many other types of unrelated anime off the market. This is an organization that should be advocating for human rights, yet a big part of their agenda is making claims that "even drawings can be victims" and demaning a ban on characters wearing headbands with animal ears due to "bestiality". One of their most recent demands submitted to the UN read as thus: “This is not enough. The Japanese government must ban everything we object to and make it all illegal. The UN must tell the Japanese to do as we direct." All this did is undermine their credibility, feed the notion that feminists are extremists, infringe on freedom of speech, and led thousands more to download Rapelay who wouldn't have known about it otherwise.

Yes, this game offers gratuitous criminal opportunities, but so do countless others like the GTA series. Of course this material is highly offensive to many, but it's important to remember that no one was harmed in their production, and no study has proved that movies and games influence real-life crime. One can also argue that they allow people to tinker around with their fantasies in a virtual environment without actually harming others.
Just as GTA didn't normalize carjacking and mass murder, neither
will Rapelay normalize rape and incest; what you do in these games simly isn't meant to be taken seriously. While it's highly unfortunate that crimes were commited against the poster's friend; books, movies and other media glorify all types of events that would be a nightmare to live through (bank heists, mob wars, World War II). Experiencing all this from the safety of your home is the reason for existence for much of our entertainment.

Morals aside, I found this game to be simplistic and crappy. Gameplay contains no challenge; you just select options. The story is tainted by rape and hard to believe (the anti-hero is a train molester who's freed from jail since he has a powerful father and goes on revenge for the girl that got him arested and her family). He doesn't get away scott free though: in one ending the girl rises up to him and stabs him; in the other he gets thrown in front of a subway. The only stong point was the character graphics; the women did look realistic. Obviously there are much better (and consentual) sex games out there, even by the same company. The biggest heads up (especially for feminist organizations) is that woment work in these companies and woment buy these games too.

Japan as a culture is most liberal regarding sexual entertainment, while USA is most liberal regarding violent entertainment; as to which is tamer, I'll say sex. I'll add that I was more disgusted by some episodes of CSI than by this game. Real life news programming takes the cake, though!
