The English language version of ‘Rapelay,’ a Japanese video game that features stalking and raping a woman and her ‘virgin schoolgirl’ daughters was pulled from Amazon’s offerings after just two days on the Amazon UK site. A spokesperson for Amazon said that there was nothing wrong with the game, but decided not to allow it to be offered through Amazon.

Illusion, the Japanese company that makes ‘Rapelay,’ also makes ‘Battle Raper’ and ‘Battle Raper 2.’ Both feature sexual assaults.

At a Glance: In the past Hentai games have often catered to casual rape enthusiasts. These are perfectly normal folks like you, me and your next door neighbor who only leaves his apartment to buy canned meat and plastic tarps. I like to think of this audience as the "beer and pretzel" rape gamer. They're interested in a fun "pick up and play" rape game and they don't want to get bogged down in details. (somethingawful)

WTF. I can't believe that even exists, that's horrible.

If it were violence against a race instead of a gender, people would be outraged. I don't understand how rape games of any sort are OK.
