So suddenly rape is a game

So my point this article is to try to get some level of outrage against this product. People can say whatever they want, but intuitively we know that audio and visual stimuli heavily influence our decisions. And when there's a game out that allows you to rape little kids while they're crying big eyes full of tears, you should be hung for thought crimes (because according to the studies the chances of this crossing the line into real life are quite high).

The title of the game is Rapelay, from Illusion Soft out of Yokohama, Japan. This game allows the player to stalk, beat, rape, gang rape, impregnate and force abortions (all in different positions and outfits) to a mom and her two daughters. I wish I could rewind to the time right before I learned about this and not click the digg link. Other than being completely insulted, disturbed and pissed, I wanted to see what I could do to get this thing off the market. Amazon.com already pulled it from their website after some complaints. It seems to me that this game makes people feel like it's ok to rape, attack and brutalize women. It's not going to make them go out and do this but it will reinforce the idea that it's not a big deal. That someone is going to side with them when they do it because hey, someone made a game about it. Think about that, it's a game now. For someones entertainment, you can attack, impregnate and force an abortion on a woman.

I can't completely judge Japan on this, because there is now an English download version, for all of the language deficient perverts out there. No country seems to be spearheading the war on crimes against women. But as women, we need to be pissed. We need to hang these men out to dry by using any level of legislative power we have. Women like Oprah, Hillary Clinton and Sarah Palin need to have public talks about this. Everyone likes to call themselves feminists, but no one wants to do the footwork.

I haven't exactly found my venue yet but I figure I can start with insults.

I'm guessing that globally the players of this game are the least desirable to any woman and that's why these men feel that they have to result to forcing themselves on defenseless children, even if it's virtual. They are probably short, if not yet then they will be balding, overweight, overlooked, tiny penis having little pricks that if they came over here to Oakland would get their asses handed to them by any female they approached. Ladies, I don't know how else to declare war on something like this, so if you find this "game" in the possession of a guy you know, "accidentally" spill your morning coffee on his laptop. It will be you doing your part for womankind.
thanks.
