All the article is is the author ranting about how horrible these games are, I doubt they even have a sense of humor.

The problem with Rapelay is that people consider it as a video game, and it is only controversial in Occident.
Japanese people don't have the same culture.

Most Japaneses have sexual fetishisms that can be perceived as weird in Occident: humiliation, furry, nyotaimori, futa, bondage, lolicon / shotacon, panchira, public molesting,...

And many ero-games simulate those fetishes so consumers (mostly hikikomori) can fulfill their fantasies without the real-life restrictions (like having to have a partner to practice it).

Pseudo-rape belongs to those fetishes (and many Japanese couples simulate non-consented intercourses to fill that feeling), and this is why Rapelay exists.

And if you actually play the "game", you'll actually see that those "rapes" are far from the occidental perception of rape.

(Note: I did not write this to approve rape or rape simulations, I just wanted to explain the difference between occidental and Japanese sexual culture)

The problem is that many ppl are ignorant, dont care, and they choose not to understand other cultures.

All ppl know is the title and the picture and start making their own conclusions.

Indeed. All while at the same time remaining silent on the sexism in their own culture if not outright co-signing it.

Postal 2 is hilarious and not at all meant to be taken seriously. Totally politically incorrect, puerile and disgusting. You literally can't do the things you can do in Postal 2 in any other game.

As for JFK Reloaded, well, I've used that as a coffee break game, there's some pretty decent mods out there for it.

And Rockstar. I think even they realised they went too far with Manhunt, that game lacked humanity.

And Mortal Kombat opened doors for games having more mature content whilst having ironic, bloody fatalities as finishers.

I have nothing to say in the defence of the other games.

I think the author missed the point with a lot of these games. Super Columbine RPG shouldn't be viewed as a typical game and if the author actually sat down and played it he would realize that its an alternative narrative. He really should just change the title to "8 Games that Disgust Me."

No, what he should call the article is "8 games i have formed an uneducated and inexperienced opinion on, even though i say in the article i haven't even tried them or even looked at screen shots." This guy is a douche bag. Its like writing an article "8 movies i find disgusting and hate even though i haven't seen them". How can anyone form any kind of opinion on something they haven't experienced.

God these lists are boring, annoying, and a waste. Writers are being lazy with all these lists popping

The most horrible built console ever. If Microsoft hadn't sunk billions of revenue into 3 1/2 years of defective models. They would have been the next Atari.
