Controversy erupted when a PR firm for Japanese rape simulation games decided to change the negative outlook on rape simulators by calling them "platinum games" and seeking a broader audience to sell the games to. However, Cinemablend didn't take too kindly to this kind of news going mainstream even though many male gamers did.
TBS reported Japan will ban all 'rape' theme games in Japan. Sad news for the 200+ companies that produces these games. Also, put in the fact it makes 10-20 percent of the gaming industry in Japan.
The racy "rape simulator" Rapelay has caused a lot of controversy in the media lately. After complaints against the game, Amazon.com yanked it from their site, and New York-based Equality Now have kicked off a campaign this week "against rape simulator games and the normalisation of sexual violence in Japan".
The Japanese media has now gotten hold of the news and are equally offended by the game's content, with many media outlets taking a deeper look at the other controversial content see...
We know that the Japanese make some odd games. You have your I love Katamari and Loco Roco. Those games are cute and fun, but some get a little on the disgusting side.
Amazon.com recently yanked sales of a Japanese game that simulated the act of raping girls.
