Steam Rape Game

Post by TheCatt »

Steam allowed a game about rape to get published, and everyone is mad.
For at least a couple weeks, an intentionally noxious game called Rape Day, which promised players the opportunity to "verbally harass, kill, and rape women," was listed on Steam as it awaited approval to be sold on the platform. After widespread criticism of the listing earlier this week, Valve announced that it would not host the game due to the "unknown costs and risks" it posed and removed the Steam page.
...
Bardell also commented on Twitter, promoting a series of tweets from Rape Crisis Scotland (above), which operates a national helpline. "If games of this kind aren’t against the law then they should be," the organization concludes.
Should Steam host games like this? Up to them, as far as I am concerned. But illegal? No.

It should absolutely be made if there's a market, but those under whatever arbitrary age we decide, should not have access.

How many Hollywood movies are rapey? You don't see those getting banned.

Games that feature illegal activity should be illegal. No killing, that's for damn sure.
