By allowing this game to exist, society winks to people that "hey, it may be officially wrong, but in reality it is not that wrong".Īnother viewpoint is the victim's viewpoint. The infamous RapeLay is back in the news, thanks to a breathless report by CNN warning that the game had gone viral after being pulled from store shelves around the world. It's offensive, and therefore not acceptable. Rape, by it's very definition, is a violation of the other people's rights. If you murder someone because you wanted to steal his watch, then that's offense, and it's not acceptable. If you steal a kid's launch money, that's offense, and it's not acceptable. If you kill an oppressive dictator, that's defense, and it is acceptable. So, if the poverty is so great and few people are ultra rich and you steal from them in order to feed your children, that's defense. As I said above, defense = good, offense = bad. There is a reason why you are stealing and from who you are stealing or who you are killing. You can't stick everything in the same bag. I don't think allowing a game like this one suggests that society is accepting rape any more than games with theft say that society accepts theft or games with murder say that society accepts murder or games with war say that society accepts war.
