Video game about rape

I've just see a petition on change.org calling for a video game about rape to be taken down. How on earth can anyon think a game of this type is suitable for playing? Making raping and killing women entertainment! Can they not see the harm?

It's disgusting, it's not just rape it's drowning babies, incest and necrophilia.
Even if it is banned people have already downloaded it and are playing it so it will still be available. Shocking

I didn't know about the other bits Cheryl. I was horrified before. I'm not sure what the stage is beyond horrified. But that's where I'm now at.

Im totally dumbfounded that any platform would take the game up for streaming! I mean what kind of depraved mind would make a game like this? It has only been banned in 2 countries despite worldwide outcry for it to be banned

Signed and shared. Terrifying that every time there is a push to challenge the dehumanisation and violence against women that is rooted within our culture something like this ends up as entertainment, without a thought that it inevitably normalises the violence and dehumanisation that many women face every day.

Signed op. Disgusting. Cheryl I'm shocked at that.

NoseringGirl · 01/04/2019 14:34

I thought it had already been taken down as a result of the petition or is this another one?

Angeladelight · 01/04/2019 14:39

Signed. I find it interesting the game is described as an opportunity to rape women. It seems specifically designed for violence against women, rather than general violence. Neither are great of course but the specifity does concern me.

The game was designed for the small percentage of people out there that are psychopaths or have psychopathic tendencies. The aim of the game was to allow these people to live out their fantasies online.

However it’s irresponsible and disgusting. It’s available for anyone to download and the game creator tried to appease people by removing the content of the baby being murdered...Hmm Because that makes it so much more acceptable...

I was horrified at the response on my Facebook when I posted an article about it...mainly from men who felt it was funny and even tried to stick up for the game...

How can anyone be in any doubt about where women truly stand in the world. Violence and a form of torture uniquely practised against women by men is cheap entertainment. Steam made the right decision to drop this, but it is disgusting that men think that rape is entertaining enough to make such a thing in the first place.

If this is an argument you’ve seen in defence of the game it’s a very poor one - indulging paraphilias and fantasies strengthens the desire to act rather than quelling it. Hence why child “sex dolls” are illegal - they feed the compulsion, stop being enough and lead to escalating behaviour.

OhHolyJesus · 01/04/2019 21:23

There was a scene where a baby is murdered? Jesus Christ. Why would someone make such a thing? To let psychopaths live out their fantasies - wow, that's just sick.

@MoltenLasagne
It was indeed the creator of the games argument as to why he made this game.

One has to question his mindset...
