People have been arguing the 'violent games teaches violence to children,' and I'm a bit arguable on that. I think it does increase the idea of 'when there's a problem, press the restart button' etc. aka, 'there are no consequences' a sort of mental detachment from the real world. Plus, there's the whole 'who's getting raped.' You say 'raping and ****ing hookers should be [okay] too,' but who are the hookers? All women. All pretty women. That's not only incorrect as per hookers, since some are male, and some are unattractive (not sure on the attractive levels of hookers, since I do not associate with them). The other problem is that the game (as seen above) depicts not hookers as you describe them, but highschool-age girls in altered school uniforms. Ignoring the fact that rape is evil in the real world, same as murder, since this is a video game, he issue is that it is rape of an underage, only girls, characters. When you kill video game characters, are they only males? All looking vaguely similar? I doubt it. While I personally do not think rape has a place in video games, I'll admit you have a point on the 'killing/raping' in video games in general, but considering the subject matter presented, it's NOT consistent. If you are going to rape characters, why ONLY girls? Why ONLY underage schoolgirls? Why have an ENTIRE video game whereby all you do is rape said girls? The entire thing is not simply 'rape in a video game,' but a video game whereby it is only the pedophilic rape of underage girls (as per what can be seen/etc. above) which is going a bit far.

Also, 1/5 of us don't want to fuck cartoons either. Sorry but Westerners didn't create this game and it was banned here. Also, 1/5 of us don't want to fuck cartoons either.

It's just a game. And the people who play these kind of games know that too. Hell, if they ban this kind of violence in games, then they should ban other violent games like diablo 3, counter strike, and starcraft 2! the fools... I agree with the rapist. It's just a game.
