So, first we were outraged, then relieved. How much outrage do we have left on the meter? Because Canned Dogs now reports that the EOCS meeting that was set to take place today has come to the conclusion that they have to ban rape games. Really and truly this time.
Zepy's summary suggests that the game company representatives didn't even argue-- that there was an overwhelming sense that this was the only option, and that no one voiced the sheer absurdity of the situation, that they were essentially having to ban a specific fantasy.
I've already discussed my personal feelings on how stupid the move is a couple of times, so I won't reiterate for now. The facts of the matter are that the EOCS will work to regulate the games so that “rape games” are banned, but the specific nature of the regulations have yet to be worked out.
Boo. BOOOOOO.
Protest anyone? Though, I'm sure it's already being done.
And I didn’t speak up because I didn't have a rape fetish;
And then they came for the lolis,
And I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a lolicon;
And then they came for the hentai,
And I didn’t speak up because I didn't like hentai;
And then... they came for me...
And by that time there was no one left to speak up.
A 0.5% increase in sales tax may not be much by itself, but it adds up over time if you catch my drift...
And all because a bunch of [BLANKETY] [BLANK]s who are too narrow minded and ignorant. All I have to say is burn in [BLANK] you [BLANK] [BLANKETY] [BLANK] [BLANK]s.
THE ULTIMATE GIFT FOR H-FANS, RUINED...
sits at a corner and cries like a little b!tch
Fine one day , on that promised day perverts from all over the world will make their illegal rape games and it will be a paradise... a DREAM
Seriously, this just means that production of these games will move elsewhere, and the games will be digitally distributed.
When will politicians learn that censorship. doesn't. work.
