‘RapeLay’ video game goes viral amid outrage

Prostitutes call for ban on GTA

As for pointing our fingers at each other and saying “bang bang”, that seems quite mild compared to violent video games where you are engaging visually in sadistic murders.

I will ask my original question again - why would an otherwise normal young (or old) person want to experience killing people and raping women in the most violent ways imaginable?

So you point to hookers not liking GTA and a two-year old Japanese game that nobody’s ever heard of.

Yet you ignore the underlying issue. It’s all about feedback, is it not? The author of “On Killing” is concerned about it, but when my friends and I “shot” each other while playing “army,” we yelled and fell to the ground, giving very similar feedback. Believe me, if we could’ve used squibs for blood splatter, we would’ve.

This is the exact same logic used by anti-gun people. They think the gun causes normal people to commit crime. You think video games cause normal people to become warped, sadistic monsters. You’re both wrong.
