Equality Now: “Games Are Extreme Pornography”

“Videogames are not art. They are extreme pornography,” rants the UK leader of Equality Now in response to the notion that adult themes should be allowed in games.
Evidently still not done ignoring the plight of women under Islam in favour of promoting obscure titles such as Rapelay, Equality Now’s London head Jacqueline Hunt launches into the kind of moralist tirade which has already seen most fetish pornography banned in the UK, this time writing for a top leftist rag:
My organisation, Equality Now, has heard a lot from the fans of some of these games.
We highlighted the game RapeLay, produced in Japan, as one example of many that promote violence against women. In RapeLay the player manipulates an onscreen penis to simulate rape of a woman and her young daughters over and over again.
Our international campaign called on the Japanese government to ban games that promote sexual violence against women and girls. Fans of these games were outraged.
They asked us why we were targeting RapeLay when, they said, it was mild compared to similar available games. In Japan there is a whole genre of extreme pornography, known as hentai, which takes in cartoons and comic books as well as videogames. Imagery includes women and girls being molested, stalked and gang-raped.
We received hundreds of emails from around the world, many calling for our own rape and murder. “By the way, I played RapeLay (doing the 13-year-old was best)”, said one, referring to the pre-pubescent girl whom players “rape” in the game.
Incidentally, the individual responsible for the now widely quoted “doing the 13-year-old was best” quip was a Sankaku Complex reader who privately admitted he was merely trolling – a complete ignorance of even the basics of Internet culture on the part of Equality Now (perhaps not surprising considering their inability to accept any culture other than that of their own moral hysteria) seems to have caused them a great deal of trouble recently when they were caught lying about misquoted Sankaku Complex comments.
… If games such as RapeLay can now be classified as art, maybe the popular media promotion of sexual violence against women is so normalised that we don’t even pay attention any more. Does “killing” a prostituted woman in Grand Theft Auto just reconfirm to a gamer the “lesser value” of women in prostitution generally?
Certainly the UN’s women’s committee believes that gender stereotypes, including those of women as sex objects, and gender-based discriminatory attitudes, contribute to violence against women.
Will the players of RapeLay act on their threats towards us? It’s just a game, don’t threaten our free speech, say the fans who tell us to shut up or else.
Ironic words indeed, coming from the very people actively trying to force police in other countries to lock people up for exercising their own freedom of expression.
The inconvenient truth that sexual violence against women (for that matter, any kind of violence against anyone) is rare in Japan, and vigorously prosecuted when it does occur, whilst many western nations enjoy rates of all kinds of crime several orders of magnitude above those in Japan, seems to be something no feminist dares address.
Instead it appears they prefer the security of appeals to emotion and ignorance, which it seems groups such as Equality Now are in no short supply of…

equality bastards
this sucks alot since i live here
yeah, those bitches just need to get laid once in a while. It's stupid that they waste their energies in harassing the people who like adult entertainment rather than doing something more meaningful, oh I don't know maybe lessening their fuel consumption to reduce green house gasses and saving the planet?
Morality is strictly a personal view, one might view it as moral one might not. who are these bastards to tell us what we hold dear to us? If they have a bone to pick, it's not the adult industry in japan, it's their own damn educational and values system. Why? simply because an educated person will never put into actual any hentai acts (unless given permission to) because people who have the intellect knows the bounds between reality and fantasy. If they say down with hentai, I say down with their elitist way of thinking.
J@ck@sses!
"...it's their own damn educational and values system."
I like your line of reasoning Anon. To carry it further, I think the most effective thing these Equality Now women can do is to become teachers.
Equality Now is idiotic, porn is fine art.
equality now should ask themselves: What would jesus do...
All members of Equality Now and similar femnazi organisations should be killed. The world has to get rid of these completely insane lunatics once and for all.
Talking is futile. They ignore logic. They lie. They falsify statistics.
They ignore real children and women who really suffer, like in many muslim countries. Instead they "protect" imaginary characters from imaginary suffering.
The time to argue is over. The time for action comes...
He doesn't count, he was a guy and therefore the enemy. :P
Yeah! Schrobby's right, someone should blow their buildings GTA style!
so they dunno what trolling is?
Or we could make anime, manga and game characters apply to real schools. As CLEARLY, if they have human rights and should therefore not be raped, they have the right to get educated as well.
They need to shut up and get back in the kitchen and make their husbands some sandwiches... Oh wait! I forgot! They're so stupid they dont have husbands! They should make sandwiches for poor countries like africa so people dont starve to death!
at borderline psychotic
he'd do the thirteen year old, obviously
@Anon 03:33:
Do you really want people with these values teaching our children?
Letting the government run our school system has contributed to the current mindset of the sheep-people populace.
OR nuns.
Anyone interested to send a package of DOG POOP to EN?
Small amount of trolling on Muslim or Islam on the article and from Schrobby. Go to school man, as it got nothing to do with the religion or it's teaching.
You really make it sound like it's doesn't happen in any other country..
Equality Now makes me wish I had one of those matter transporters like off startrek or later episodes of SG1.
As I'd beam 400tons of cow and pig manure into their buildings.
and why they keeps on blaming on rapelay..when rape exist?..does that time the game rapelay exist?
does raping a 12 year old child never existed centuries ago??
these ppls are just losers...maybe they are single old hag who can never be please by their partner or they just lose to a single game because their husband play it secretly
@Anonymous 05:15
I think you mean hate-filled and obnoxious rather than stupid. What guy would put up with their BS?
lehnerus2000
Unfortunately, what Equality Now is trying to combat is the very nature of mankind itself.
Themselves being no exception.
instead of trying to combat H-games why dont they try doing something good in the middle east?
scratch that...let middle east now what equality now is doin and let THEM fight against equality now
They can't do anything about the Middle East. That's why they're settling for 2D characters. They fail as an organization. It's amazing how many people keep dumping money into their "cause."
Yet they complain about poverty. The use of tax money at its finest.
Wacky world huh.
just remember.If a woman slaps you, its sexist not to punch her back since if a guy slapped you, you would punch him right?
That was an awesome way to put it. Would it apply with putting one's knee conveniently in the other part's groin apply as well?
^QFT & for teh LOLs.
Let's make it equal, and punch these bitches.
You WOULD punch her back?
I already slapped lots of women who slapped me.
I don't see women as a separate gender, I see them as a part of the human race.
We're all fucking equals.
If a woman would slap me, I'd sue her.
^This
is
Patrick
Naw that's not my name. You got 2 more tries.
Darkrockslizer then.
BILLY IS THAT YOU?
Can we say that Europe's nude statues are offensive and tear them down? Can we start burning paints too? Imagine the ceiling upon which Michelangelo painted on being painted over completely instead of having 'lion cloths' painted on...
We could even say that the female body itself is offensive! We should mandate that women should have to wear some kind of covering garment or robe so we can't see any of their feminine characteristics. I think some parts of the world do something like that, where have I heard of it before...?
God bless John Ashcroft.
He was a holy man who knew that if he didn't covere the statue of "Blind Justice"'s breasts, that all of America would be doomed to hell for it's perverted statue lust.
Give the statue of David a good pair of jeans...that's art.
if you look through history, you'll see some puritanical bastards in action.
some churches, and stuff, the statues were actually "de genital ed" and a fig leaf put over it...
as an artist myself, if i lived back in the 15th century and painted a naked 5y old as cupid.. they'd claim a work of art.. now a days.. if i do that (which my teachers actually warned me not to do) I'd get arrested and jailed for child porn.. moveing to the future.. PROGRESS!
No, they need to be eliminated. Their ignorance and stupidity is going to ban freedom of speech simply because these cunts don't know what the hell they're talking about. We'd be better off if they were all killed.
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Equlity? Whats that? A fruit?
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Just laugh at their ignorance of the bigger picture, like satisfying consumer needs! IM A CONSUMER!
There are many dangers to ignoreing such people because politicians do not ignore them. Without concerted effort extremist groups (right or left) will destroy our lives by banning everything they deem evil. These people are just as insane as some one who says god told them to ban something. We must always be vigilant or all our freedoms will be sucked from us!
They already are being sucked from us, dude.
Best thing would be to steal a few american nukes, hijack a bigass uninhabited island, and start up our own country.
Outer Heaven?
Metal Gear... it can't be!
The sort of things Equality Now focuses on, despite their general manifesto, hints at their lack of ambition, as well as their overall likability.
and they should realise that fans are not furious cos it is just one game that is targetted... its the entire friggin industry they are trying to bring down. those basterds
oh no, not again...
I would love to sit down with them and have a discussion where there are some rules.
1. No interruptions.
2. One person gets the privilege to speak, by raising their hand, at a time.
3. Your reasoning must be logical and following all your statements.
4. You can not say something like "That is so obvious so I cant explain to you why it is true." or "Thats just how it is." or something similar.
5. Continue the discussion til we reach a conclusion or people die.
6. Use REAL data.
Now imagine me on a chair inside a ring of their top members. I would be handcuffed and tied to the chair. (must ensure I wont rape or molest them) Discussion starts and is broadcast LIVE to a free streaming site for the entire world to watch and comment on.
No bullshit remarks.
No interruptions.
Truth only.
FINAL DESTINATION
>Your reasoning must be logical and followed through with your statements
They've already clearly shown they aren't capable of this, so I doubt such a discussion could ever happen.
>Use REAL data
Yeah, that REAL data they bought and paid for.
Can we not all agree that pornography is awesome? Therefore, if videogames are extreme pornography, then aren't they extremely awesome?
I like the way this man thinks.
