Fortunately this game is facing some opposition from many and is leading to rules banning rape in gaming. Ahhh... Japan. What else needs to be said?

Original story is here.

Japanese Software Group Bans Rape Games After Protest (Update1)

A Japanese game makers association banned its members from making and selling games that contain rape scenes following an international protest by a human rights group that raised the attention of the U.K. parliament.

The Ethics Organization of Computer Software, comprising 233 companies, banned games containing rape scenes and other images of sexual violence at a meeting in Tokyo, the association said in a statement late yesterday. Nearly 90 percent of Japan’s adult-game makers belong to the group.

The availability of rape games in Japan gained international attention in recent months when London-based women’s rights group Equality Now began a campaign against a game called Rapelay, where players act as assailants attacking and raping females including 12 year-old schoolgirls.

I do know that some people in Japan can be.. a bit PERVERTED..
But this is just completely disgusting..

Well,
.. I don't have any right to insult them, maybe the ones that made and produced the games, but not the entire race/population..

It's kind of disappointing that the article states :

The Japanese software association said it was introducing the ban because of the controversy in the U.K.

(so, if a women's rights group in London hadn't made a fuss then it would not have been necessary to introduce a ban..?)

Furthermore, according to the article the ban is apparently meaningless because no one has instructed the companies producing the games that there is a ban on them, nor instructed the shops selling the games that they are banned.

(is this a subtle, face-saving strategy to appear to concede to the controversy but in reality to completely ignore it and continue as before..?)

This sounds like an ok game, It just needs a few tweaks. Rather then raping girls, they should be raping pygmies or smurfs. in HD. O_O
