What is worse – rape or murder? Seems the world at large regards murder as worse going by jail penalty’s so how come such a fuss about this and not GTA or Manhunt? Don’t see them getting banned, hypocrisy at large in the world today.

Come on people……….NO ONE should be playing “games” like this. What is wrong with your moral codes?

Sorry friend, there is nothing “healthy” about this game. I see a scary tendency to excuse ciminal thinking, and allowing violation of human rights (especially of women and children). Once this filth infiltrates the mind, it becomes common place. Before long men or boys, won’t think twice about punching a woman, pushing her against a wall and fondle her or force sex upon her.I already have witnessed this behavior at the 8th grade level in school. And don’t think these kids don’t know this material is out there, they do! I’ve busted many boys who know how to break the code on school computers to access this filth.

It should be banned. All of this type of hate speech and human rights violations should be banned. Just say it! How can you say don’t ban it? You say you think it’s awful and that you wouldn’t play it, but don’t ban it? That is schizophrenic thinking of many people. To play this “game” is criminal activity of the mindset.

Common element in these replies :” Ooh gross,but don’t ban it”

Here’s a fresh( gross?) take: There are many people who enjoy this type of game. Violence is in our nature, and many of us do not try to bury this major part of our psyche. If you find this game offensive stop playing anything more than Peggle and Tetris.

Impressionable? what is more impressionable than learning that the US is the world police, and can do whatever it wants? Kids learn early might makes right ( history written by conquerors)
Society makes us nice docile consumers; that is the real damage.

So many hypocrites… It’s a damn GAME. I’m 14 and played this game out of boredom and found it a bit boring, but if you start banning some games then a lot of games with even slightly questionable content won’t be released and where’s the freedom in that? There is none. Even if someone did use it as an outlet instead of going out and raping real women then isn’t it better to have them on a computer then out on the streets?

I doubt that this game would influence someone enough to go out and rape someone.

Sorry for the late post – just ran across this website from your ripping a dvd article which was on Digg.

As abhorrent as something like this is, I don’t believe it should be banned because I believe that would be a violation of our freedom of speech. Once you have violated the principle, there are no grounds by which to defend your own specific case… A ban of this game would likely be based on a vast majority of people being opposed to the ideas presented in the game. Say in the future the majority decides to ban talk of abortion, because they find that idea offensive. By what grounds can you say one is valid and the other not? My point is, once you violate a principle, any principle, it’s a slippery slope. Like it or not, we should defend people’s right to free speech as an absolute, if we would like our right to do so to have any validity.

The public can “ban” the game anytime it chooses – by voting with their dollar and refusing to buy the game, and let the good ol’ invisible hand take care of the rest, as somebody hinted at above.

It couldn’t be banned worldwide – no way to enforce it.

I’ve decided too comment on this at last. Better late than never. I still have too read the other comments but I want too make mine without any influence of others.

I don’t think these kind of games should be banned. I think they should be labeled 18+. The reason I think this is cause I’ve worked in a video store. And in the 18+ section there are also vids with around the concept of rape. Even in the 16+ dvd’s I know you could find quite explecit hent,ai in which the story was about rape. So I just think it would be stupid too ban a game cause it involves around rape and molestation if you don’t ban the Movies wich even 16+ can get their hands on.

So I say make it 18+. People are supposed too be grown up enough by then too decide for themselves what they watch and don’t watch.

I won’t try and make an opinion wether this could be an outlet for people who feel an urge or if it will stimulate people too rape someone? Since I think this is a psychological topic for shrinks and docters who have the needed background on psychology. This is not something you discus if you only have some basic knowledge or even non at all. You could convince others of what you think (just because your good with words), while it could be totaly wrong.

Sorry for the bad english it’s not my native language.

Grtz,
