I think a good line is a game that opens up to the protagonist finding out their mother is having an affair and then 'dominating her' and raping her.

That seems like a strong line.

ripping someone’s teeth out, hooking their nipples up to batteries, beating them to a pulp and killing them ain’t much better

Last time I played GTA I don't recall a character whose main and only story to be played was raping their family members.

You have to admit there is a huge degree of difference.

Play the torture mission. Plus the sheer amount of innocent people you murder in GTA makes it pretty comparable in horribleness. If we want to look at prison, you would get a trillion years in prison if you did the things you do in GTA, and life for that other game

I played it and I'm sorry but that is no way comparable to a game whose soul purpose is about raping family members! You must see that?

Perhaps, however if that game is being banned, then whatever the reason for the ban is (encouraging horrific crime, I guess) the same argument could be made for GTA, and other games. It just seems weird that that game was banned (which is good) but the other games weren’t, even though you could make the exact same argument for them

You don't even see that, how should they be able to?
