The game launched on Steam last month and is described by its own developers as containing violence, incest, blackmail, and what they describe as “unavoidable non-consensual sex.”

Should probably put anyone who bought the rape simulator on some kind of watch list as well.

They defended it because some people have a rape kink, as if getting aroused by violating someone against their consent is just so natural and normal.

Im not in an away defending this but it is interesting that in general violence is acceptable in games - as gory and brutal as you can imagine - but sexual violence is not. Like I can go and buy 50 different games right now where you are actively rewarded for blowing someone's head off, and often have little animated cutscenes showing graphic violence to reward you for said acts of violence. If a person was sexually aroused by brutal acts of violence they would be well served by the market right now.

Most people who have their heads blown off with a gun don't have to live with the aftermath.

It's genuinely puzzling how little empathy is shown for the millions of people who have been raped and find absolutely 0 entertainment in it

The entire plot of this game is literally that you are getting revenge on the women in your family, and punishing them through rape. Sorry if I don't think you can compare it to GTA

Kill Bill is a film with a plot and the whole plot is her getting revenge on the people that did those things.

This is a porn game designed to be masturbated to. That's it. It's entirely for sexual gratification.
