Should the United States ban a Japanese "rape simulat

Donathos :

Rape games could be considered an art , but to consider them only art would be an incredibly absract approach. Rape games are an art inspired by real things , real events , emotions , ideas etc it's not something that we are unfarmiliar with .

I don't how the victim is affected is relevant in distinguishing between murder and rape , I think the mental element of the crime is more important.

Alot of the murder we see today isn't soley for the purpose of murder , most people do not get pleasure from murdering another person , they do it for the purpose of something else , they aim at an end which is essentialy unrelated to murder.

. E.g America waged war on Iraq for the defence of their country , they didn't wage war on Iraq for the sake of killing civillians (which did happen but is irrelevant) , killing the terrorists in iraq was a means to an end not the end itself.

So we can see that even though america is guilty of commiting mass murder there is some justification in the fact that they wern't doing it soley for the purpose of being mass muderers , there's a lowever level of accountability. That's not to say that they where right in what they were doing but it's certain they wern't as malicous as a America which aims to killed Iraqi civillians for the heck of it.

When a rapists abuses a person he doesn't do it for this or for that , usualy the rapists end is as the same as his means : to rape . You might say "well the rapist could rape the person who killed his family as revenge" you'd be correct in saying that this also aims at an end unrelated to rape , but why would you use sexualy pleasure yourself as a means of getting revenge , is it really noble or honourable to have intercourse with some one who killed your family ? It seems highly unnesacery ,you wouldn't penatrate some one you hated unless your desire for pleasure superseded your hate for the person.

Picture the man who shoots the man who killed his family in the head , he does it impersonaly ( no physical contact ) , he might experience alot of pain in the process ( unlike the rapist who experiences pleasure ) , there's no pleasure in it for him unless he enjoys killing ( in which case revenge for his family wouldn't be the only end ) if he enjoys killing then he's exactly like the rapist.

Even in games like GTA there's honour and nobleness of sorts , IIRC didn't Niko go to liberty city to kill the people who murdered his comrades ? .

Watching sexual content , playing sexualy interactive content stimulates sexual desire because it is a very visual thing . I can only imagine playing rape games would stimulate a different sort of sexual desire in a person , especialy if some one looks to play these kind of games .

I don't think the desire to kill can develop in some one even when they play killing games .you could kill a 100,000 people in GTA , I don't think it would make you any more likely to murder a person than if you hadn't , there are those who go off on killing sprees after playing violent games but I don't even think that provokes them to kill , it might give them inspirational ideas about how to kill but it wouldn't push them any closer to commiting the act.
