Ero-game Content Restrictions Moral Issues Tangent

[Key Board]

Real rape is brutal and painful

But Rapelay is nothing like that. Rapelay is another genre of porn where someone is "raped" until they become a nyphomaniac. It's a fetish that is not so uncommon in porn.

So in a sense, Rapelay is really "rape play". Oh my, a word play on a real life fetish. Imagine that!

But I know some people consider that harmful too.

Given that I do have a rather strong crush on a girl right now, I have reason to be concerned with whether these games lead to real rape. So far, I'm not convinced they do, and your line or reasoning isn't doing anything to change that.

The child may not have even reached a good enough level to understand what sex is. What is the average age of a child exposed to such things for the first time?

A ban from stores is going to help in a way. It A ban will lessen the chance of a kid finding a rape game when he goes into a store. Small differences do matter. Mature people such as you can just purchase stuff from ebay.

Well, it's not up to me whether you change or not. I'm just stating my opinion.

I spat out my drink right there because I thought it was going to be something intelligent. So kids nowadays go to school not to learn, but spend their time looking up on indecent material...my how the world has change from when I was a student...makes me feel old.

Which is almost the same as;

"A kid can innocently walk into a video store hoping to find a comedy movie when then they see porn on the shelves. But not just any old porn, it's the hardcore bondage type...oh the horror...said kid is now going to tell their friends and a whole horde of kids will become tainted with this thing called bondage".

Granted they haven't seen anything other than the cover I suppose their first impression of sex will forever be bondage as their first impression of eroge sex will be rape JUST by looking at the cover.

Now I wonder the amount of child rapists out there that even know what an eroge is...hmm...

I believe this thread has achieved its purpose, which providing a temporary place for people to vent their thoughts on this ever-circular argument. As with all good things, this one must come to an end as well. Suffice to say that both sides have arguments that can be brought on the table, but all it really achieves is for the same things being stated over and over again without going anywhere, as has always been the case on such issues. Thank your for participating in the discussion, thread now closed.
