Is this exceptable

Invisible Man VR In Eleanor's room

This game came across in my "new games Feed"

Is it really expectable to have a game where the point seems to be to know out a girl alone in her house and rape her.

I don't think so.

Can someone from steam explain why this sort of thing is allowed?

Btw " Rape Day" did not get removed from Steam, the game never got approved in the first place.
And not because of the content but because Valve determined it was a "troll game" , made purely to rile people up and not a real game.

Because "troll games" are against the rules to publish, porn games are not.

I can easily link about 50+ more porn games that are currently on the store that contain rape as a fetish in some form.

Its still only fictional content for adults, same as all the violent games where you saw someone in half with a chainsaw.

Heh, whatever you say, I hope you're fine with your kids playing games where they rape women, because I'm not, even though I'm fine with them playing GTA.

I am ok with neither being played by kids, thats why both those games are rated for mature audiences on Steam.
Also if you let your young kids play GTA you are a failure of a parent, just saying.

Sorry, Sir, you're sadly mistaken: Rape Day already had a page on the store, which means it was approved and later removed from Steam before its release. It had a page just like those games you can wishlist right now.

Your opinion about me as a parent is irrelevant, I'm old enough to know that what random strangers think of me makes no difference. If you're trying to insult me, try harder, boy.

There wont however, Valve is a private company in the US, people have tried this already with the EU's consumer thing already and it was shot out of the sky before it even departed for the runway..

Yeah? Then why did this happen?

https://www.businessinsider.com/steam-blocks-rape-day-game-release-2019-3

when people say "private company"... sure steam can say how they would like to do business

but...

"private company" doesnt mean your immune to the laws in the countries your
selling products in...

Is it acceptable to violently kill others for fun? No, but people do it all the time in games.

And not always just because you "are the good guy". Games like GTA allow you to senselessly kill others for the sake of doing it. Run down innocent civilians? Check. Kill thousands of civilians and police? Check.

Learn to separate fantasy from real life.

Gotta tell ya mate, I dont see rape anywhere.

Ursprünglich geschrieben von fluxtorrent:

No need to guess, he drags her across the room. No rape. But typical of you to try and lie again

It's disappointing that I have to explain this, but non-consensual sex -- which is shown in the trailer, and also explicitly indicated in the product description...

Can have sex without consent

-- is, by definition, rape. By linguistic definition (here's a Wiktionary link for your convenience[en.wiktionary.org]) and by legal definition too (something you would know if you'd even as much as watched Law & Order SVU).

I am disgusted that some people can defend a game about rape , that they cant see the difference between consensual sex and the damages promoting rape can do on victims or on some people behaviour.

The best thing to do it to report this game and make it be removed

Make sure you report games that promote violence and murder as well.

Don't forget to write a letter to your congressman about allowing this stuff in the USA because apparently we're warping back to the 80s now.

never seen it, never use adult game, if you allow the filter hate that weird anime fantasy but love some moving ♥♥♥♥ game touching each other and thinks its hillarious you are unexceptable

First i am not from usa then i have nothing to care about a congreswhatever , you know the

world exist outside of Murica, yes there is tiny bits of civilisations outside the stars and stripes

I have been myself victim of sexual abuse, i dont see any reason why someone with a normal morality and ethic would appreciate a game about rape.

There is a large difference between violence in a game where you have to be violent to

survive or that the violence have a logic, there is too a difference with sex games where sex can

come from love or consensual desire but rape ? A game where the protagonist rape ?

Dont you have any common sense or morality ?

Here is Steam statement about a previous game Rape day they removed from the shop


Steam, owned by a US private company Valve, released a statement on their decision to not distribute Rape Day, saying:

“Much of our policy around what we distribute is, and must be, reactionary – we simply have to wait and see what comes to us via Steam Direct. We then have to make a judgement call about any risk it puts to Valve, our developer partners, or our customers. After significant fact-finding and discussion, we think ‘Rape Day’ poses unknown costs and risks and therefore won’t be on Steam.”

This ban elicited positive comments on the Steam website among gamers. One comment noted:

“Rape is one of the most serious problems in our society and it needs to stop. We cannot normalize gender violence or rape.”

Cool that you don't see any reason. That doesn't matter really though since you are free to ignore it.

I do it all the time to games I don't like or don't find appealing. It's called being an adult and being in control of your emotions.

It always amounts 3 things:

1 - Fictional violence being fine but fictional sex games are not.

2 - It's not morally right!!!

3 - I'tS nORMaLizInG rApE!

Optional check box: THINK OF THE CHILDREN!!!

The Irony in on these statements when people go out of there way to defend violent media is top tier comedy like bruh. People frankly need to grow up and seperate fiction from reality. If they cannot they shouldn't be consuming media in the first place imo.

Honestly people should be happy these games exist in the first place as frankly like games with violence it is an outlet for people to let out negative things into and it actually helps society to have less crimes. People are far to emotional to realize this though. At the end of the day though games like this are just that games and hurt no one and people need to grow up and realize that. If people would put as much energy into stopping real crimes as they do going out of there way to scream about fictional sex games the world would be a much better place.

"happy these games exist in the first place" Wait WHAT. Did I read that right?

Unlike violent games, those types of "games" are targeted at a very specific audience. I wonder how many people defending those types of "games" are women. Let me guess...

Gender doesn't matter.

All games target their own audience. Doesn't matter what the content of the game is. If people buy it, that's the audience it targeted.

Is it the adult-nature of the game that bothers you? Or is it the specific theme of what I assume is non-consensual sex by an invisible person?

If it's the adult nature of the game that's a concern, go into your account settings and uncheck "Adults Only Sexual Content". This will only block pornographic games, and M rated games with mere nudity or sexual content such as The Witcher will not be effected. This option is disabled by default. Maybe you enabled it by mistake, or you misunderstood what it meant. At least it's easy and simple to disable it again.

If it's the specific theme of non-consensual sex, well. I understand you may find that objectionable, but to each their own I say. You are free not to buy or play the game, and you can even select "ignore" so as to never see it again. The game exists firmly as a work of fiction, and the character is not a real human.

What is the diffrince from killing pepole to raping pepole in a game?
Is killing fine becouse we got used to this games, but rape is not?

The simple matter is this game is a game, its not real and dose not encrage real actions
I do not support it, but I do not think it shuld not be sold "just becouse"

The simple matter is what is the rule? "Games I dont like" is great for a dicttorship less so for a gaming commuinty with a lot of users

"its ilegal"/"Its not moarl" so shuld we remove vilonet hames as well? GTA very much encrage the user to be an ass, and break the law in the game

Where can you draw the line? that is what is really asked to provide
Why is murder fine and dandey but rape is not? (:O How could you even ask that?! becouse its a game, not real)
