"First of all, this idea from gamers that what you do for entertainment has no effect on the rest of your life is just not true.  I've heard this before, about how people bash gamers for playing violent video games, and how it is essentially bs.  But it is simply incontrovertible that something you spend multiple hours doing every day affects the way you think and see the world.  How could it not?"

Well if it doesn't work for violence how does it work for sexual violence?

"  As I mentioned in another reply, FPS shooters to mass-murderer is not really an apples-to-apples comparison. " they're both violence. it really is that. 
It is dishonest and slimy to say otherwise. 



"or is entertained by the idea of doing so, is absolutely feeding a desire that will grow and create destruction in their life."

that's the same thing said about violence in video games that has since been disproven. the verytthing you call BS.
"I'm really not interested in playing the statistics game. " 
you're not interested in any evidence.

you should not play games. at all. you aren't even fully capable.

who gets to decide? who is good enough? you just want to decide for others or think there's someone good enough who can. but wouldn't that person become the most debauched? how are you or anyone able to even tell what or where these problematic things are? 

"The effect such a game has is bad, as it leads to the normalization and glorification of SA.  " how?

where? there are games that glorify and gamify violence that YOU enjoy if we take a look at what you buy and consume. 

that summary has nothing but an emotional plea and an argument for control out of "concern" over unfounded things. you make bold cliams with no proof. 

are you even human? how many women have YOU hurt?

I have hurt no women.  How many have you hurt, Antigone_Black?  And what do you mean by "are you even human?"


"Well if it doesn't work for violence how does it work for sexual violence?"

It does work for violence.  If you spend hours a day pretending to engage in violence, that will affect the way you think and see the world.  And it will normalize violence in your mind, which may cause you to be more prone to violent reactions.


"they're both violence. it really is that. 
It is dishonest and slimy to say otherwise. "

We can distinguish between different types of violence.  Your suggestion that we can't is asinine.


"that's the same thing said about violence in video games that has since been disproven."

Disproven?  I haven't seen it disproven.  And I have researched this.


"you're not interested in any evidence."

As I said in the full reply, you can find a statistic to support any claim you want.  By all means, go google some studies that support your point.  Then I will go do the same thing for my point, and we will go round and round the circle forever, and never get anywhere.


"where? there are games that glorify and gamify violence that YOU enjoy if we take a look at what you buy and consume."

No, I don't play games that glorify purposeless, realistic violence for its own sake.  Just like I don't play games that glorify SA.


Finally, my summary was anything but emotional.  I clearly drew the connection between using SA material for entertainment, and how that leads to SA being considered normal and acceptable.  I then stated that because of that, people should not play the game, and that itchio was justified in removing it.  These are not bold claims, they are claims backed up by common sense and reason.

I have been charitable in answering you, but you have not been so with me.  you have baselessly compared me to a child molester and implied that I am a sexual abuser.  Why so much aggression?  You are acting shamefully.  

I don't know how some people can't wrap their head around the fact if you find a game about rape sexually gratifying, that you are genuinely fucked in the head and, yes, more likely to commit the act than someone who doesn't.

I think people don't like being confronted with the real-world implications of their entertainment.  People will use arguments like "it's a far-right plot" or "there are no studies that conclusively demonstrate a causal relationship between x game and y real-world result", or etc to avoid having to honestly and logically assess those implications.

Highly likely. People in this thread comparing it to GTA are laughable in my opinion, also. No Mercy was made specifically for the sexual gratification of the viewer, and anyone with a basic understanding of how porn addiction works knows that it's a bad idea to cater to the more-extreme side of things, because then they're a step away from their addiction worsening and, while unlikely, them actually needing to commit violent sexual acts to real people, even if not flat-out rape. GTA, needless to say, isn't a game made for sexual gratification. Sure, it's NSFW, but NSFW in the sense that the language and violence aren't workplace-appropriate, and nothing more. Violence in GTA has societal, monetary, story-related, and social consequences. The story heavily involves these consequences. The point of GTA is to tell a story. Sure, there's a non-story mode, but it ultimately is to tell a story and has consequences for bad actions. It doesn't glorify the actions shown. No Mercy existed only for shock value and for sexual gratification, the two are in no way comparable morally. A game about a rape has the right to exist and can even be highly praised (see: Mouthwashing), but is still subject to criticism if improperly created. No Mercy did not approach rape as the horrible act it was. It approached it as power-tripping fap material.  No Mercy wasn't made in good faith and deserves every bit of flack it gets and deserves to be banned- games uploaded on privately owned websites are not free speech- sspecially with how we live in a society that blames victims for being raped. Thank you for your respectful reply, and I agree.

No major disagreements here, though I will just have to take your word for it on the Mouthwashing game bc I know nothing about it.  Scratching an itch doesn't usually make it go away, it just makes it itch more.  We can confront that truth, or live in denial.

This is not true at all. You are going on feelings instead of facts . Your reasoning is not reason it is dangerous
