"Realistic" means to us that the pallet is mostly browns and oranges but to Joe Q Public, it means that these games are 110% real. Those words are "Realistic" and "Interactive". What it comes down to generally is two words that like "Cinematic" and "Compelling", show the world the TRUE UNMITIGATED HORROR OF THESE VILE GAMES. And neither should Japan, but that's their call. By saying that, you are telling every rapist, murderer or any other kind of violent criminal, that it isn't really their fault, that every heinous act they've committed is because they were exposed to one random piece of media at some point in their lives. Here's why: By saying that all it takes for me, you, anybody to go out and commit rape or murder or whatever horrible crime, is one game, you are normalizing violence. In truth, women's-rights-organization's-site-name-I-can't-remember, you are normalizing sexual violence by saying that any game is doing so. Secondly, the game itself isn't normalizing violence. It has been psychologically proven that most rapists aren't after the sex, they're after power. that sounds a bit like "everyone who reads porn will commit rape at some point" argument. Their argument was more or less as follows: Games like Rapelay normalize violence and will lead to increased sex crime rates. I have to disagree with the crux of their argument for banning games like Rapelay. And as much as I support women's rights and well, everyone's rights for that matter. When this story broke ONE YEAR AGO, I remember reading a piece about it on a women's rights site. Its not even for sale outside of Japan, no other country or organization has the right to tell Japan what it should and should not ban. I think I already said something like this last year when this came up, but.
