Amazon UK Sells Eroge

Danny! thats one helluva game XD

Oh wow. o_o;
Sheesh, when people buy things like this, I think things go a bit far.
To make a career out of this, in my eyes, is just not a way to live... (The creator of the game.) It's really sad. Now, lighter games (ones that don't involve rape...) Are fine by me, but jeez... o.O

Interesting... the bigger question is whether things like this will fuel or quench criminal appetites...

I never realized Rapelay has an actual story line... ^^;

at the end of the first vid, did the girl suddently broke her leg by herself or something? it looks weird....

Oh yes... all eroge players are a danger to society. :nods: Yup yup. I'm gonna go out right now and find me some women!!! (Because thats how all eroge players roll apparantly... god....)

OMG seriously.... If people are allowed to play trash like Grand Theft Auto and get away with murdering, stealing, sleeping with prostitutes etc, then this game is no worse! No worse than something like Manhunt thats for sure...

Amazed it got onto the UK amazon site though lol.

and ppl are ok with games where u kill other people? isn't murder also something that is illegal and an act not to be promoted or simulated? just my 2 cents

I believe if anything these kind of games prevent actual crimes from happening, if you allow a potential Rapist to fulfil said actions virtually they have an outlet for it and it prevents them from doing these horrible things in real life. The same argument can be said for many other violent games.

While personally I'd steer clear from the rape genre (I prefer more classy/cute eroge), I'm sure many other normal non-criminal people like myself would play this and not be tempted to go out and rape someone, just in the same way they would not shoot themselves in the head after playing Persona.

are you guys kidding me!? This is nothing like GTA! yes, that game involves murder and prostitution, but this games sole purpose it to stalk and rape women. That is the most messed up thing I have ever heard!! This game is seriously upsetting to me. Anyone who would play this, or create this is insane and would likely commit rape as they are obviously stimulated by the images. I mean come on - tears in the girls eyes? Sounds of screaming and crying and saying no? How could anyone not feel sick to there stomach with this game? Amazon should seriously remove this game from they're site. DESPICABLE!

and do you really think that rapists should have ANY outlets!? They're F-ing rapists!!! Their only outlets should be goddamn psychologists

And thirdly, in Persona they don't use guns, they use evokers which have nothing to do with killing yourself (obviously, since they do it repeatedly).

As my last 2 cents, I would hope that anyone who plays, or supports this game gets raped, and then we'll see how their opinion changes.

Keith Vaz is such a willy, hate him.

not that I'm defending this game

Amazon is in trouble no doubt. Despite the game's nature, consumers should be responsible for ensuring that they don't do silly things thanks to the influence any product holds. Its sickening seeing people blame companies for "legal" products when they fully know the likely consequences of utilizing the product.

Like many people already wrote here, the main issue is that it's O.K. to kill in all human (and anhuman) ways in videogames. As well as stealing, assalting, hiting, doing every crime possible. Is it so chocking a game like Rapelay? Or is it the same kind of thing that happened with Carmaggeddon?

Personally, I'm always more aware and careful of people with over-moralistic intentions since they seem to be the ones more willing to break everything they stand for. Fiction is fiction, whether its in the form of a game or book. As long as you can make a clear distinction between both you're perfecly sane. The ones making a fuss over a fictional game are the ones who need real help. To even suggest that crap like this could influence otherwise innocent people into doing such things is clearly insulting the human race. Psychological issues don't simply pop up from playing a game.

Ayaya... is all I can say @_@;

imo, playing eroge is just the same as watching pr0n, if you think pr0n should be legal for people over 18 then eroge should be as well. however in this case it's like watching raep pr0n, so I guess if one would thing raep on pr0n should be banned then so this eroge should be treated the same.

btw lol on the sweating mushroom on the second video.

Woah...I didnt even know such a game existed...The only question is if the game is really as bad as the media wants to tell us.

Did Amazon itself sell the eroge or one of the amazon sellers?I guess its the last one and the newspaper didnt do its homework and blamed it on Amazon

Eroge Players dangerous? Nah! Sure there are some maniacs from time to time but games didnt make them to those.They just have a tendency to like those aswell.99% of the eroge enthusiats wont do anything

hey i have this game!
*yikes* *cough* *ahem*
downloaded it sometime ago out of curiosity
but seriously its isnt that terrible as if it would corrupt one's mind to follow the acts in the game. hey i am not a rap|st. see..! i guess ppl just want to lay blame

and there is a some-considered-good-ending, where the character that *ahem* the girls will get killed for all his sins...something similar like school days

I guess those politicians are unable to solve the really important matters, thus they had to use this flash grenade so their voters won't notice how incompetent they are. O_o

I think that a fair number of eroge have this sort of plot in them, so it's not surprising...in the end it's the same as shooting games or games that has killing as the norm, it's just pure fiction...how it affects the person I can't say, but better something like this be fantasy than it being reality...

A game like this is kinda messed up. That's my opinion anyways.

What I'm wondering is what kind of impact this is going to have on eroge and its players. Not all eroge are like this and it's gonna create a lot of stereotypes about the players. I was hoping some popular ero games would eventually be translated and put up for sale but with this incident I can't see that happening any time soon.

There are far worse things out there than this. I mean, there were mods for Knights of the Old Republic where you could have Bastilla naked and your male PC could have a giant schlong, so every time you walked up to her you were banging her in the ass, and nobody complained about that.
Is the game tasteless? Yes. But then, so are games like Manhunt. And the outcry over those disappeared after only a few months. This will blow over too.

The first game is actually Artificial Girl 3 (another Illusion game) modded to include the Rapelay characters. Err, not that I know anything about these games... >_>

I wonder if the MP actually namedropped Rapelay specifically. If so Illusion can just enjoy the free publicity.

LOL Rapelay being sold in english! This is one eroge I didn't go for XD

Well I think whether eroge are harmless or not depends on what you play... After all alot eroge fall into the visual novel category, with some ecchi content thrown in. There are quite a few eroge that would be perfectly great (Fate/Stay Night for example) without any ero content at all! For me, eroge must have nice art and a good story. Nakige (crying games - think Kanon, Clannad, all that kind of Key stuff) are great I reckon. They have great stories, which is why they can survive the conversion from eroge into anime (with ero taken out).

RPG-based eroge are great too (Utawarerumono, Tears to Tiara, Sengoku Rance, Seinarukana). They would be perfectly fine games without the ero as well. The ero is just like an incentive >=D or a bonus. Then again there are also alot of yaruge and dark games (chikan, hypnosis, blackmail), which I try not to touch to often. Though I do get a few if I really like the character design though. Yaruges can be good for health care purposes but thats about it. Lack of any kind of intelligible storyline puts me off. I can't take too much dark stuff either. S&M, guro and stuff like that puts me off.. Haven't had any time to for eroge lately T__T

Wow. I didn't know that was something new; I thought japanese would have these kinds of things before, I mean, the most strange, weird, sexually-oriented gross games and gadgets I've seen are from Japan.

It doesn't impress me, in fact I'm curious :P At least, it have way better graphics than The Sims 2, they could use its technology!
Despite the common conservative-religious-US-accepted-huge-sects-"ish" opinion, I don't see any moral or ethic problem on these games. To say, what's the difference between hardcore eroge and Manhunt, GTA, and all these hard violent games out there. I remember all the fuss with Duke Nukem...
There's no difference to me between extreme gore violent games and the yellowish news channels, or between hard gore sexual explicit games and the chicks farandula rumorous TV shows casted in the afternoon, or with the VERY sexual explicit porn-stories-or-content-in-your-cellphone SMS TV ads aired every 20 mins on all channels.

My side in the it boost-or-lows criminal rate dilema, I say it quenches the perverts we all got in our heads, and satisfy at some degree the imagination that could lead to a real crime.

It was funny the mushroom thingy up there, why is that? I've seen other sites were they're clearly referring to their goldmembers with a mushroom photo. It is a slang or something?

People with their non sense... Its just like saying shooting games makes kid more violent

"However...when people play these things, they can interact. They can shoot people; they can kill people. As the honourable Gentleman said, they can rape women."

they wont let this game sell but they let gran theft auto sell

Thanks, UK MPs. I'm going to buy me some Rapelay next.

Seriously, this is not any worse than Grand Theft Auto and a thousand other shoot-em-up games that encourage violence.

Doesn't seem to look that fun either way. I look forward to a future where video games and anime and things like that are ingrained enough into our culture that politicians will stop picking on those things. I mean don't they have anything better to do?

The first clip is actually Artificial Girl 3.

The First vid IS NOT from the game it is a mod of Artificial Girl 3.

Geez, didn't this game come out like 4 years ago or something?

The game play sucks and the graphics aren't even that good :/

God, if the UK got hold of Hako (new Illusion game where you are a giant having sex with fruit that turns into lolis) they might have to start selling apples in black bags.

better than watching gay porn i always say!
not that i watch gay porn though...

Considering that almost all serial murderers were once porn addicts.... >.>;

Hmmmm, I have to say no on this one.

From my point of view, this is just like every other eroge out there =/ I see rape being illustrated in hentai all the time, so should hentai be banned? I know rape is very offensive to some people and its true this game sucks but you have to understand that this is what eroge companies make. Sure its a silly game where you go after defenseless women but that won't stop them from making yet another game as silly as this one. If I dislike something I just move on to something else...

I actually played this game a long time ago and enjoyed. But since its an eroge, a fictitious game with 3D anime characters, I find the realism of rape is far removed to be considered close to actual rape. The game is similar to Hako, Sexy Beach and Schoolmate with its menu options rather than GTA free roam and the article makes the game more appealing than it is. "A freeform mode" is nothing more than being in the menu screen and selecting locale, the girl and the number of people involved ie "get other male game characters to join the attacks." After choosing the desired options, the game jumps right into simulation sex.

Honestly, Japan makes lots of hentai and pornography based on rape and its become a norm. I've seen a lot of hentai based on the premise of rape and OMG I hate it when people presume I am or will be a pedophile or rapist! Its like people are judging me before I do the crime. It's like a Canadian border officer taking away my loli manga because they don't want me to be a pedophile. If this were true then why does Japan have one of the lowest crime rates in the world with the highest abundance of sexual fetishes ever.

When you look at pictures of real sex offenders, do they look like the type that are into anime and or hentai? To me they look more like white washed westerners without a clue as to what anime or hentai is.

NO moe character in this game >_<

I'll admit I was a bit disturbed when I first found out that yes, I can now simulate preying after woman on a train. That was my initial reaction.

But that's really because I'd never even heard of it before. I've heard of games where you bed the characters, and I've heard of games where you shoot and kill and mutilate. Now I've heard of a rape game. Next time the impact won't be nearly the same. The truth is, sad as it sounds, we get desensitized pretty easily in this age of free information.

Would I play it? Not if the game was just "go out and harass whichever girl you see in the game". But from what I understand this game has simply three characters you're allowed to interact with. That's hardly the same - it's like playing GTA and being told you can only shoot the one guy they choose for you. In terms of mayhem it's on a completely different scale. And it's obvious that these girls learn to enjoy it.

Does that make it pleasant? No. Does it make it fair to women? No.

But think about it in a more Japanese context - one that I'm assuming, and is likely flawed, but bear with me. The Japanese are far more open with $ex and the like than Western societies. That's why they have lolis and tentacles and game shows of old men sliding over lotioned women.

In contrast, we in the Western world are more comfortable and desensitized with violence than the Japanese are. Which is why we produce games like GTA and Manhunt.

In that sense, our deviancies have led to GTA, and the Japanese have had theirs lead to Rapelay. Taking into account the cultural differences, in terms of mayhem, people affected, and twistedness, can we really say that Rapelay is any worse than what we're already so used to?

rapelay has a drama side too just play it and you will know ^^

After being in policy debate for so long, one of the greatest arguments that I've used and won multiple rounds with is that rape is worse than death.

I don't want to reply to anyone specifically, because I am not trying to offend anyone on this matter. Yes, you can say that the people who play this won't become rapists, but the concept of this game is morally wrong in general. Don't, please don't say that Japan's morals are different from other nations'. You expect to go to Japan and buy all the rape games you want and not be looked down upon? You've got to be kidding me.

You think that letting people virtually rape innocent girls is actually going to prevent them from raping real girls? You've got to be kidding me.

You think that rape has become so common in video games that just one more game is nothing? One drop in the bucket makes a great difference.

Yes, it's fine to wax your dolphin and keep your health alive, but getting pleasure out of a rape scenario is horrific. Rape is worse than death and I bet if you ever get a girlfriend (with a working brain) who finds out that you've played a rape ero-game, you will fail at life.

I still find Sexy Beach 3 to be the best from Illusion. :)

It's a game, granted it's quite lewd and f*^%$d up but it's a game. I don't find the premises of the game attractive at all, but it causes no harm, nor does GTA, or Kop Killer 5.

I think the difference between games like GTA and Rapelay is the plot.. now I'm not saying that GTA's plot can't just be to go around killing people and stealing cars, but for anyone that's played GTA the main plot revolves around a story about the main character trying make it in the world going about all the wrong ways (Killing, the Mob, Stealing Cars etc.) Now we have a game like Rapelay which I've never played but from the looks of it and from what I've read it seems like the main goal of the entire game is just to rape woman, and it dosen't beat around the bush like was brought out before where there could be monsters or demonic tentacles but the second it became a person or person's I think that's what rubbed the public the wrong way?

Well that's my opinion anyway lol ^^

I remember reading about this game a year ago. Illusion has a very wide selection of hentai games and they are all pretty out there. I think personally a game like this won't breed rapist, more so it will bring in curious people to play the game, nothing more.

Yar... I'll say no to these kinds of simulations. If it's a visual novel, then I'll let it go.

I think people who judge based on what games people play
are stupid and Ignorant. Like for instance i play alot of
monster hunter.

But just because I like smashing things win my giant mace
(wooo gun-hammers represent!) I'm not going to go pick up
hammer and try to beat up some animals or something..

I know UK is really touchy with their concept of "indecency",
And things like this get all the yuppie church ladies in a huff,
so maybe it's not something you should see on UK amazon.

I'm a gamer, but don't want to play this "game"... Its not funny...

I find Grand Theft Auto to be a lot more dangerous than this. While this game IS morally wrong and all that, only teens and adults would buy it... and definitely not for their kids. On the other hand, you have parents buying their five year old angel Grand Theft Auto where they learn that stealing cars, dealing drugs, and blowing up lives is totally cool! uh huh... I support neither of these games. I think they are both wrong and atrocious (and so are the people who gets enjoyment out of it). While eroge players are harmless for the most part, there will be those who are demented enough to use what they learned in games and test it out in real life. That cannot be overlooked. The common saying "it's only a game!" doesn't apply anymore.

If you can separate the reality of such horrible events from the absurdity of their eroge depictions, I believe you can enjoy this game.

I do not enjoy the concept of forcibly taking a young a girl, and my dolphin much prefers the pleasureful mews of my loving girlfriend to the cries of pain that would accompany such a heinous act, yet I would very much like to play this game.

I don't believe any sane, law-abiding person would pursue the act of rape after playing this game. Likewise, I don't believe that preventing the sale of this game to any person inclined to commit a sexual offense would prevent that person from committing said offense.

Any person who takes offense to this game simply need not play it. This game should not be withheld from sensible, law-abiding adults with a firm grasp of fantasy and reality.

Wow lol that is twisted, these game developers need a hug or something. XD

It should be made clear that the game was offered for sale by Amazon USA, not Amazon UK.

This means the game was not rated by the British Board of Film Classification and could not legally have been supplied to a UK customer.

The Belfast Telegraph story is therefore a storm in a teacup. If they want to get worked up about naughtiness, there are many other examples to be found in the world, which are not available in the UK and are irrelevant to UK people.

Eesh, that's bad. Still, I hope this doesn't lead to a huge debate on eroges alltogether, as events like these tend to do....

has anyone accually bought this game?.....graphics are great,although idont quite like the reaping part of it

exellent, if wonder if i'm gonna buy it !

well, now we know why japan's crime rate is so low >.< LMAO

What's more important isn't censoring the game itself, but to make people understand what's morally right or wrong through education. We can deny, censor everything we brand as wrong or ugly, but whether we want it or not, these things still exist, so what's more determining isn't the existence of these stuffs itself, but how much morality a person has.

We can hide all the ugliness that exists in this world from our children, but personally I think that we could let them know about it and teach them to think why these things are wrong instead.

LOL BRITAIN AND MORAL PANIC

With or without these 'dangerous raep simulators', that still didn't stop a 13 year old boy from becoming a shota-dad.

http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/article2233878.ece

Also, the land of the rising sun where the nastiest rape fictions and loli mangos are legal happens to have one of the lowest raep cases in the world.

Well I see that this news item has spawned quite a list of responses. But i don't know why!! A large majority of us here are huge fans of Japan, so i would have thought this kind of thing would be old news to the community, but based on the responses, i would say i was wrong.

Here is how i see it: We have movies that have depicted these acts for DECADES. Are there folks complaining about those? (1,000 of them ya know) We have novelists who have written a large range of material involving just about every act imaginable, from killing and stealing, to rape and terrorism. Yet, books don't get this kind of attention. We have games that are terribly violent, involve prostitutes, murder, drug deals, and gangs! Now those don't seem to cause much uproar for the most part....so why complain about this. How about being satisfied with not buying and leave it at that.

It feels like freedom of speech to me. You can make any product you like assuming it meets the criteria of the country you live in. Not to mention all the fighting that has gone on in our country's Congress to allow artists and others to say what they want and make what they want. If we take that away, we are beginning a journey into a dark area. If someone enjoys this, then let them.

So while the British officials whine and complain, I can most likely buy some rape based porn movies from websites in their own country!! Why isn't there a holy crusade against that stuff!

People need to lighten up me and not get so worked up over stuff like this. Oh and I would have to disagree that if you own this as a guy, and your GF see it that she will dump you. That's just assuming all woman would feel like the commenter does, and that is just wrong. I've been around many different groups of people in my short time, and I know many of the girls wouldn't be offended by this at all.

But if there is something to complain about, chances are someone will take up the torch and open their mouth.

I just want to play this for the curiosity.

I guess I'm sick that way, but I'm mentally sane...so I think I'll be okay

slow to comment but, consider more than just the game here in isolation. as well as why the producers intended it for only Japan. u can find many things worse so do not consider this as a 1 off thing

It was only a matter of time before Amazon got on the Eroge train. I wonder when everyone else will do it.

hardcore eroge players wont be harmless...........

Oh I played this game before. When I played this game, I was thinking what kind of sick people play such game.

Ok, I'll comment on a proper one... and I hope DC readers will take time to reconsider it

I am speaking as a woman and not as a feminist just to clarify. The problem with the game mainly lies in its premise (while i tend to find it rather amusing to see that it does not look like rape) and rape is quite a sensitive issue with some women. Cause 1)some women find it a violation of their self even if they are sexually active and 2)the argument that it will not translate into real life does not necessarily follow to be true. It MAY be able to deter *normal* people (and I stress normal in all sense) but to some people who cannot differentiate reality from virtual, the game may be potentially harmful not only to the user but to those who may be hurt.

I think we should look carefully and see the proper argument with this: that the greater danger of a genre like this lies in the fact that not all people are sane as most of us and there lies the problem. Not so much on morals on our side but more on consequences.

So yes, I admit I like the graphics (they are amazing for something 3d!) and hands down to the makers. I just hope they can actually find more creative stories because that'll actually raise eroge to a new niche rather than pulling the genre down for many of its decent fans :D

cheers!

I don't get it?? Don't they sell porn too, isn't it the same. Just because it depict a little more than what they are used to watch, doesn't mean it's an out-of-this-world thing.

still, can't blame them for trying to protect their moral. But eroge is one of the reason why their crime rate is low.

Still the same : a game is a game....

They are Red Alert 3 out there and why don't you ban it because it will cause war?? ban gundam to prevent developer to develope some gundam which will create deadly laser....

It's only a game. If a gruesome interactive game e.g. Gears of War, isn't that simulating a war environment to kill your enemies? Should that be allowed? Oh No! The kids are killing everyone! HELP!

Seriously, it's just a game. *clears throat and change my voice* "Why SO SERIOUS!?"

UK has the highest under age pregnancy in Europe, introducing Eroge is too late to stop the corrupted. More like they started crime without even knowing the existance of Eroge. I like to see how they are going to explain that fact.

It's not as if the game was made for kids. Rape is bad, I agree to the degree of physical rape. If it's an Eroge or Hentai, it only exists on the screen. Who ever says that it would affect one's mind, I personally think that they have a weak mind unable to distinguish reality and fantasy.

No humans are perfect but we can understand.

*Change to Joker's voice again* "Let's put a smile on that FACE!"

Lots of different opinions and thoughts here, just tohught I'd add mine...

I don't think anyone still knows if these sorts of games encourage bad behavior or give a harmless "outlet" for it. I play plenty of shooters, and sure don't want to go out and shoot people for real, and some people say the games are therapeutic. But I question how therapeutic it would be to pretend to rape someone...

As for Japan having a lower crime rate and whatnot, I agree that it's mostly a cultural thing. However, every once in a while I see something that makes me think things aren't as peaceful there as they let on, and that a lot of stuff just gets covered up or ignored. Take the whole groping-on-subways thing. Women are in a pretty bad situation if they're not careful. Plus, Japan has a very high rate of teen pregnancy and STDs (mostly because sex education is not considered polite or acceptable, so they just don't do it).

Then there's the whole objectification of women thing. Even if this game is "just a game," it's still, in some way, implying "rape is OK" (just like GTA implies stealing cars is OK, although in that game you do have to contend with the police...). And yeah, Parliament saying "Ack, how can we sell a game that features a criminal act like rape?" while games that feature criminal acts like murder, theft, etc., are allowed...

I wonder how the seiyuu feel doing the voicework for games like these...

Anyway, just my random thoughts. I'm all for freedom of speech, freedom of press, expression, art, whatever... but I have no interest in the game.

^_^

Do not want

I think that everyone will agree that before this game existed, rapes have been commited. And that before any games exists, all kinds of crimes have been commited. And I'm talking about the whole human history here.

Do you really think that these games will make more people commit these crimes?

I live in Brazil, a country that has far grater violence problems that Japan, USA or Europe. And around here the main crime issues are related with lack of education and social inequality. Most of the time, commited by people who haven't even played a videogame in their lives.

Like many pointed here, I believe that blaming this kind of game is false moralism and an attempt to find a simple and unique responsible for far more complex and long existing issues.

this game is not diferent from others eroges.
Rapelay or other title is always the same plot. lol
at least you can buy the original!!
rapelay is not my type but the diference of virtual and the REAL is opposite.

yeah i already play it but .... it's in japanese T.T (the option)

Boing boing! n__n

Talking about whether eroge players are dangerous is just like talking about people who are really into shooting games and stuff like Grand Theft Auto. The questions are, will they go out and do the things from the game? Some have, some don't.
However, morally, I couldn't involve myself in a game like that. I think it's terrible that something like that exists and is so easily accessible.
>.>

~HK

Its...only...a...game... (an ADULT one at that).

same argument and debate that goes with blaming violent behavior/ sex crimes on any new art or media form. cheap cop-out if you ask me

Interesting.

I have to say, I have played the game and I still haven't felt to urge to rape anyone, just as I have played lots of games that involved the realistic simulation of killing people with a various selection of guns and melee weapons, and still haven't killed anyone.

It is rated 18+ for a reason, after all. If people can sell and buy games involving the illegal act of killing, why is this prohibited then? Of course, the gameplay idea of raping a anime character may seem tasteless for most people, but so is killing a photo realistic person with a paper cutter, a machine gun, a chainsaw, or a crowbar (Some of you people should recognize the games these weapons appear in), just because it is sex this time, it's forbidden. I think today's world is overly prude when it comes to sex, but very lax when it comes to violence.

I find that much more disturbing than I playing RapeLay.

I was a bit late in getting around to seeing much of this game, so I only got around to downloading it last night.

Pretty impressive considering it's a 2006 eroge with 3DCG visuals, I would've expected it to look quite a bit worse in visual quality than it did.

I liked it, and one of the 3 torrents that pop up at Tokyotosho under "Rapelay" still works, even though it's a 2006 torrent, if anyone else was interested!

Note the hand getting closer ^^

Eh? Why can't I vote?

Moral Crusaders: Banning things to feel good about themselves.

WHoaaa.. rape ^^ thx sir danny ^^ BookMarked ^^

So, Amazon UK Sells Eroge, and why not? Eroge can't cause harm to people... It's all about one word : censorship.
P.S. Somewhere I've found that Amazon Baned Lolicon and Fetish Manga. It's a pity ;(

I must honestly admit this would not be my choice of game. That being said, I think it's wrong to interfere in someone else's right to play such a game. My belief is that each person is responsible for their own actions. That a person who is predisposed to wrong doing, will do so regardless of environment, television, books, movies, or games. A criminal could probably get it into their head to do something wrong by watching "Tellatubbies"(which I personally think is a harmless kids show). In addition it never ceases to amaze me how some political demagogue will scapegoat someone or something. When they could be tending to something truely important like fixing a failing economy, etc., etc. Don't get me wrong I'm not defending the game. Just the right of someone to choose said game. Whoa.....Don't know where all that came from......Hope I wasn't to long winded. Did seem to turn into a rant. Sorry. ^^;

Just like any other video game that has extreme violence and gore(That has the player killing poeple). The player ( You and ME) hopefully understands that the actions taking playing a video game can not to be done in real life.

OF course rape in bad.
