What's laughable is gamers under the assumption that the UN are a bunch of mean baddies when they threatened rape games. Not only are they justified in at least investigating it, they are also looking at a lot more than that in Japan, and they are most certainly heavily focused on real problems involving real women. This situation affects real women and they are most certainly focused on other issues such as FGM in other areas. This was brought to your attention because it is gaming related. Otherwise it would fly over 99% of this site's radar - don't fool yourself.
Saying that as you did is a dismissal of that which is a real problem. If the sale of such material had no effects, than a panel of worldwide human rights experts would have no reason to discuss it. It's absurd to think that the UN is laughable when they are completely justified in this investigation, and likely have a combined experience in this subject matter that trumps the entirety of the gaming population's combined. I went as far as outlining a few of the problems associated with the legal sale of sexual violence in the media, and to be quite frank I think a lot of you are making a mountain out of a molehill.
This isn't the banning of pornographic video games, it is the banning of sexual violence in video games. You guys oughtta trust the UN more than you do right now. You would rather accept the words of a site like nichegamer than that of the UN? I don't know man.
