Killing in GTA is extremely unrealistic, as you are able to go on these sprees, killing hundreds upon hundreds of people. You can take bullets, punches and knife wounds, but you can easily continue. It's not simulation, it's not training. The same can be said for a game like Madworld, where it's so obvious that this isn't how anything in real life works. This on the other hand, is very real. You stalk victims and then proceed to sexually violate them, just as you would in real life. I have girl friends who say being raped is their number one fear, over being murdered, because it is something that scars you so deeply and can never be undone emotionally. Any game that essentially trains its players to do something like that is disgusting and should be heavily considered for censorship. |

Well... no, it isn't. It's a video game.
A book that describes a rape, or a movie that depicts one, however accurate or disturbing those sequences are, are not "very real." It is real, actual rape that is the problem, not books, movies or video games (just as murder is a crime, but playing GTA is not).
