If it was a proper outrage it would be plastered on all the morning.evening "news" programmes.


It was probably preempted by some other "important news," like naked SMAP guy or some politician getting into trouble getting senior citizen discounts inappropriately somewhere.

This kind of thing really does paint Japan in a very poor light. As someone who doesn't live there but very interested, and with relatively small actual experience, it seems to go against the conforming/polite other stereotype of the Japanese that exists. Or perhaps that is a big part of the problem.

Not sure what the deal is with the "adult" game, video, and magazine industries in Japan. It seems that pretty much "anything goes" (as long as the "bits" are properly hidden with mosaic). Apparently when the occupation forces penned the Japanese Constitution's p0rn laws, the only concrete stipulation was about censoring genitalia, and the rules for determining offensive content were vague enough for the myraid of strange and disturbing things to exist side by side with more mainstream stuff.

 

I think culturally, the Japanese are also not wrapped up in the idea that, "habituation or desensitization makes one more likely to perform said act," that the media Nazis and nannys in the West treat like dogma.

but Ez habituation and desensitisation is a real issue.

 

I will use an example that is not such a disaster - swearing. My 17, almost 18 yr old son has been in the habit of swearing like a marine (sorry to any marines out there) with his mates. Since he has been out of school he has been working in a warehouse environment - again surrounded by swearing used as a descriptor and accent to every single sentance ever spoken.

 

He now seems relatively incapable of NOT swearing in front of his grandparents - even swearing in his sleep. He has become desensitised and habituated, and despite regularly being told to watch his language in front of his 9 yr old brother or in polite company - he just cant do it.

 

I know it is a big leap from swearing (something you are not going to go to jail for) and rape/violence/etc but there must be some effects to your moral boundaries when surrounded by this type of material constantly.

OK, first thing first... I'm not defending Japan and I do condemn rape especially the gang stuff.

But I will say this. You see murderous games, people shooting people up, etc and no big deal it's a game, right. The person you are killing looks murderous, monster-like or rag head the better it is, we can use those vid game skills for the military it's quality education replacing what the nation has failed to supply. So what's the big deal. Still it goes against the 10 commandments one sin is not worse than the other!

 

Shit GN, you are the one who is bringing up some external crap into some domestic affairs.

Better hide your daughter soon, mate. I don't really know the line where child exploitation is or not, but when you get less than half the pay when you are under 15 in australia, I call that exploitation. If you get anyone to do what they don't want to do, THAT"S BAD.

The age issue is different. Pity these days kids have to grow up early, deal with bullies, sexual harassment, etc. but I suppose they need to be informed and trained to deal about it.

My parents used to tell me " In the old days when you are 12 , that's called Genpuku and you are basically expected to perform adult duties, ie: go to war. " Pretty horrifying isn't it.

Not so different to some conflict areas nowdays when you are recruited as a kid and given an AK47.

Point being, really, kids are conveniently exploited financially even in developed nations, lower wages, being taxed like grown ups, yet no right to vote or being heard.

Any child labour unions out there?

 

Finally, It's just clear to me no one really understands how repressed Japan really is. You see the backlash that comes about from that. People losing it. The old Japanese saying "It's not scary crossing the Red traffic light (J walking) if you do it with everyone.

The game is an expression of fantasy. But no one really believes that fantasies shape social values, or do they!? knock knock.. look at Islam or Christianity.

It's a much debated topic, and there has been piles of research done, but so far no conclusive proof of a connection. It goes back to the whole "nature vs. nurture" question that has been the pivotal factor to a majority of psychological research since the fifties.

Consider though that someone who finds a rape game interesting enough to buy probably doesn't have a "normal" moral stance to begin with.

Jynxx I have certain beliefs that hold whether I'm living in Australia, Japan or wherever. They don't change just to suit the culture I live in.

When I lived in Australia and I disagreed with something I didn't look at other countries to find similar bad things and say well it's just as bad or worse in such and such a country so it's really not that bad here at all. Same when I live here, I don't look back to Australia to find similar or worse examples to excuse things here. And if you hadn't noticed I'm hardly a patriotic Aussie and did choose to leave the country and would be happy never to set foot in the place again.

Point is just because you can find examples of bad things happening elsewhere it does not diminish some of the bad things that happen here. Making a game that has an aim to rape children is crossing a line that should not be crossed regardless of the culture.

And I think I do have some idea just how repressed the individual is in Japan. It's one of things I have commented on many times in this forum. I don't see it as a good thing about this culture and think that things need to change. Especially now that I have daughter growing up here.

I agree mate,

but I find it hard to understand that your choice of living in Japan. Why live in a Islam like country (but tolerant to alcohol) ? I think of Japan as a bit of Sufi, and Jewish, and Japan is more middle eastern than west IMOH. Japan doesn't have a systematic way of trading your daughters by marriage, but still the mentality is that the kids are owned by the parents. You are living in a different world mate. My prejudice to all Whites living there is they are just taking advantage of getting preferential treatment. Certainly some people must have experienced the grudge from some of the Japanese.

I left Japan because I don't like the government and the system there. But the people - they are still my people and I dig them and their sentiments. But they are a sad race. Especially men.

I suggest you get your daughter to learn martial arts.

Now, WTF has that got to do with the topic? And what evidence do you have that the pay is "half the pay" - and half of what?

where? in Japan?

I don't think so - I have never got any "preferential" treatment, or anything close to that, since living in Japan.

Well I live here because I love the climate and landscape. These things are actually more important to me than almost anything else. To be honest in all my travels I've yet to find a culture or people that I really liked all that much and that definitely includes Australia. But then those things have always been less important to me than mountains and snow. I found a town that receives more snow than almost any other on the planet, I just had to live here! Having a child has certainly complicated my little world though razz

Mario also jumps on turtles in a "suggestive" sort of way.

 

Completely unreported by the western media.

how have they gotten away with this for so long, and for so many sequels?

It was meant as a ludicrous extension of an earlier comment which I thought quite good but fell largely ignored: why is it ok to 'murder' people in games, and 'raping' people is not ok?

 

Also thought the topic needed a bit of animal cruelty and bestiality.

 

Was only trying to spice it up, nice and tasty.

That's a different genre of game altogether! This is the "rape game thread" - get with the program!

This just in!

 

Seriously, that is ubelievably low. I would like to see something happen to that video game production company (as well as all porn firms that produce rape porn) similar to what the weather underground did to a Vancouver porn rental chain that stocked rape porn...

The translation was done to make the Japanese minister dude look like an idiot. As was the tone of the article. Western media seem to take delight in making japan look twisted or just plain weird.
