Rape Games Now Officially Banned
This time, it's for real. Despite Japanese news program TBS making false claims about EOCS banning video games featuring rape, after the Ethics Organization of Computer Software meeting yesterday that they have indeed decided to ban rape eroge (erotic games). About 100 representatives from the biggest hentai video game makers in Japan all gathered to discuss the issue first raised up by the American feminist group Equality Now, & while not all of them felt this was a good idea, not a single person objected to it. Simply put, it was the best answer they could come up with.
Despite this ruling, decisions regarding the exact exact regulations & definitions of what's okay to include in games & what isn't is still to be discussed. For instance, in preparation for this ruling, one upcoming video game originally titled "Gang Raped by the Entire Village ~Girls Covered in Milky Liquid~" has changed its name to "The Trap Set by the Entire Village ~Bodies Covered in Milky Liquid~." The actual content of the game will remain unchanged (unless of course the EOCS sees otherwise), meaning it'll still contain the raping of young girls. In addition to "rape," the word "shoujo" (young girl) also seems to be a taboo word now for erotic games. & thus the world succumbs to even more censorship.
