But before the arrival of the Internet, such items stayed in Japan. This country has long produced products the rest of the world would call pornographic. Along the way, the player can rape a number of other girls and women. The object here is also revenge: Find and rape the woman who fired the player from his imaginary job. In minutes, we found a game similar to RapeLay.
Step into a game shop in Akihabara, Japan's electronics district, and hentai games are readily available. Some of the games are violent - depicting rape, torture and bondage in detail. Those games are known as "hentai games." Almost all feature girlish-looking characters. But the governments do have a role in trying to regulate this sort of extreme pornography of children, both in their countries, and through the Internet ," she said, adding that they were calling for the Japanese government "to ban all games that promote and simulate sexual violence, sexual torture, stalking and rape against women and girls. "It's obviously very difficult to curtail activity on the Internet. What happened to RapeLay is an example, said Bien-Aime, of why Japan needs to police game makers. It is still readily available on dozens of Web sites, sometimes for free. "I think the idea that you can do it by wholesale banning is just never going to work anyway because we downloaded it for free off the Internet," Gardner said. That was how Lucy Kibble and Jim Gardner in Britain heard about it. "This was a game that had absolutely no place on the market," said Taina Bien-Aime of women's rights organization Equality Now which has campaigned for the game to be taken off the shelves.īut the controversy that led to stopping sales of the game instead took it viral. Taina Bien-Aime helped yank the game off store shelves worldwide. It is little wonder that the game, titled RapeLay, sparked international outrage from women's groups. The reason behind your assault, explains the game, is that the teenage girl has accused you of molesting her on the train. The game allows you to even impregnate a girl and urge her to have an abortion. Then you can follow her aboard the train, assaulting her sister and her mother.Īs you continue to play, "friends" join in and in a series of graphic, interactive scenes, you can corner the women, rape them again and again. With the click of your mouse, you can grope her and lift her skirt. That is when you, the player, can choose your method of assault. She notices you are looking at her and asks, "Can I help you with something?" Masaya Kimura will pursue three girls to satisfy his base needs.Tokyo, Japan (CNN) - The game begins with a teenage girl on a subway platform. The little guy thinks it's only fair to retaliate against the girl who defended her rights and fought off her rapist. The little guy thinks the victim is at fault. He immediately forgets about the guillotine legislation, and, sitting at home, contemplates a plan of revenge. Smart people sense danger and realize mistakes, but the main character is not like that. Masaya Kimura, that's the name of the maniac, is deservedly taken to the police, but the young man's rotten father bribes and buys off his premature son. The battered young man probably can't count on a reciprocal relationship with beautiful ladies in real life and therefore violates personal boundaries. The game's developers should have developed empathy and understood how much psychological damage a person who has been molested on the subway takes. It's hard to know how old the victim is, but the oppressor doesn't think twice. In that second, the character becomes a dangerous criminal and a maniac. A man rides the subway and starts touching a cute girl. The main character is a chikan (Japanese: a man who harasses girls in public places). The project was much acclaimed in the press and was banned from gaming platforms and services. RapeLay is a Japanese 3D hentai rape game where the player will force women to have sex.
