It's "Fan Disservice" just like Fifty Shades of Grey and Twilight, not Fanservice.

RapeLay falls into the sexually vulgar, disgusting, and unappealing department. No, there's a fine line between sexually appealing and sexually vulgar/disgusting. Just because I feel sexual attraction just like many people doesn't mean I like everything sexual. Oh yeah, to those of you who are thinking I'm a prude and asexual, you're actually wrong. If it's portrayed obnoxiously, it's a "kink killer".Įroge games are guilty pleasures for me, even the story-oriented visual novel ones. Story-oriented and visual novel eroge games are much better to be honest because they don't portray the sexual content obnoxiously. Because of this, eroge games have gotten more mainstream in Japan now because back then in the 1980s, they were condemned and reviled. The sexual themes are only secondary focal points. Many modern eroge games are nothing like RapeLay because they're visual novel-based and story-oriented, meaning they don't focus on the sexual themes as much. Now, before any of you guys say anything, RapeLay does not represent eroge games as a whole. Don't be fooled by the character designs of the game, it is NOT made by the same company that made Dead or Alive, Ninja Gaiden, Fatal Frame, Dynasty Warriors, and Samurai Warriors which is Koei Tecmo. RapeLay is a 3D eroge game developed by Illusion, a video game developer known for making 3D eroge games. Japan rarely bans video games due to being one of the leading video game producers in the world so that fact that this game got banned domestically and not just overseas is saying something. The title is already indicative of what type of game it is (it's wordplay of "rape play"). This is honestly one of the evilest games ever made. The game was recalled all over America, and Rockstar Games was forced to change its age restriction from Mature (18+) to Adults Only, because those two or three years make a huge difference.Just a disclaimer: I'm in no way saying anyone who enjoys this game must be sick in the head or loves the idea of raping people because there's something called guilty pleasures. Predictably, an 85-year old granny who bought the game for her 14-year old grandson sued Rockstar and publisher Take-Two Interactive for deception, false advertising, fraud and abuse, because that’s much easier than reading the label on the box. Badly animated, fully-clothed sex? Absolutely shocking stuff. Several months after the game launched in 2004, a Dutch modder discovered an unfinished bit of content included in the game’s files that let protagonist Carl “CJ” Johnson have sex with his dates, and released it as the now notorious “Hot Coffee” patch. The whole series, really, but it’s Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas that gets the prize for the biggest scandal, and it’s for something that wasn’t technically even in the game. Rockstar’s big mistake was not making the lead character a US Army operative. Nobody got the joke, apparently, and Mystique went out of business the next year. When people play our games, we want them smiling, we want them laughing.”

According to the developer, “our object is not to arouse, our object is to entertain. In response to the inevitable public outrage, sales and distribution of the game were consequently prohibited in some states, prompting Mystique to file a $11 million lawsuit against New York on behalf of all the creepy pervs denied their constitutional rights to simulated rape jolly good fun. They weren’t dancing, of course, unless you count the sexual violence samba – the whole point of the game was to direct a naked and, um, engorged General George Armstrong Custer through a barrage of enemy arrows to a restrained Native American to have his wicked way with her.
#Rapelay game controversy manual#
Released in 1982 for the Atari 2600, the game was marked “NOT FOR SALE TO MINORS”, although the manual suggested that “if the kids catch you and should ask, tell them Custer and the maiden are just dancing.” No list of controversial video games would be complete without Mystique’s edgier-than-the-American-Frontier Custer’s Revenge, a game featuring a totally tasteful trifecta of rape, racism, and pornographic nudity. Who’s “they”? Probably the same people behind the marketing campaigns for these games. There’s no publicity like bad publicity, they say.
