A British member of parliament has slated Steam over the recent Rape Day controversy, calling for a government review.
In a statement released today, Scottish National Party MP Hannah Bardell described it as "utterly abhorrent material", and said the government must "commit to getting around the table and sorting this issue for good."
"The content of this game is utterly perverted," she said. "It's time for the UK government to undertake a full review into how tech companies and gaming platforms – specifically Steam – are able to get away with this kind of stupidity,"
"The culture to seek forgiveness rather than permission is a stain on an industry that otherwise has the potential to be a real force for good."
She was joined in her comments by Shona Robison, First Minister of the Scottish Parliament, who supported calls for a UK government review to "strengthen the legislation around this area."
I don't even know what rape day is but why do they make this special treatment for gaming? People make sexist/racist cartoons/tweets/youtube vids but they draw the line at fucking video games?
Leo Ross
Scottish National Party is a busybody that wants to seriously ban coupons for food.
No really.
Eli Scott
WTF I love Steam now!
Jason Hill
Sounds like a dangerous, right-wing nationalistic, xenophobic extremist party to me. We are all one country, the world country.
Blake Taylor
lol, videa gaems dont rape people, people rape people.
Xavier Robinson
Valve shouldn't even comment. Say absolutely nothing.
Austin Ward
If they had any balls they'd tell them that their one and only comment was "Fuck off, cunts."
William Cooper
never believe for a second that the right wing won't backstab you when the left is done with you.
they all work for team cunt.
Isaiah Morris
As in being a citizen, they have nothing to do with national socialism
confirmed dipshit who doesn't know fuck all about the nature of video games or even tech in general
Lincoln Barnes
"The culture to seek forgiveness rather than permission is a stain on an industry that otherwise has the potential to be a real force for good."
Translation: You need permission to say things; asking for forgiveness after saying the thing we didn't want you to say is stupidity.
They should all be shot.
William Morgan
Funny thing is, you had all of the stupid English lefties cheering for them to remain seceded. The left didn't know they were cheering for nationalism, they only knew they were cheering for people that hate the English. And since they're self hating anyway, it seemed like a good thing to cheer for.
Elijah Campbell
He didn't say anything about national socialism.
He is correct though. The support that the SNP enjoys is quite hilarious.
Nolan Baker
Video games are for children, so why make a game about rape? Its obviously an attempt to normalize that kind of behavior with youth. Yeah and neither does propaganda like Hollywood movies, right? Fuck off.
Daniel King
Wow, looks like a member of parliament is here to have a chat with us. You're up early.
Yes this makes complete sense. Normalizing rape in a demographic (white) whose genes you want scrubbed from the pool.
Jace Davis
If you couldn't tell, the game was probably put there by one of Steam's competitors. Maybe Epic. Or maybe from the UK government so they can make a "vidja loicense" hell, they just made a wanking license an actual thing.
I dont want rape normalized period. It has nothing to do with race. All youth are impressionable. As for me working with parliament, yes I do. Im sitting in my office right now on my work provided laptop.
Caleb Young
And you're browsing a site on a work laptop that recently was reminded by the gaming media that it hosted "questionable" and child abuse content? I'd call bullshit but most politicians actually are that fucking retarded.
Joshua Powell
Point is that you were alluding to "them" wanting to normalize rape, which is an absurd conspiracy theory.
Adam Foster
You were posting at 5AM, presumably as you rolled out of bed, and in your office at 6:14. They work you hard eh?
Levi Allen
Yeah, I work for child services so I have a busy day taking kids from white people. Gotta get up early.
Christian Roberts
Mate, im with the government, I cam do what I please.
Sebastian Powell
The average age of a gamer was mid 30s in like 2007. Saying videogames are for children is like saying movies are for children, you're retarded.
Gavin Jenkins
Has the retard sub humans that run the UK not heard of VPN's yet
Brandon Myers
How many gigabytes of mandatory cuck porn do they install on your work-provided laptops? Is deleting them considered 'racism'?
Parker Ortiz
Are you fucking retarded? The SNP is progressive authoritarian, not nationalistic.
Jordan Stewart
Fucking yank brainlets in this thread
Xavier Morgan
Wowee but that's some boomer bullshit right there.
I mean, what's an eighteen rating? A marketing gimmick?
Ian James
nice try.
Michael Young
Duh it's for children over the age of 18.
Luis Thompson
Lock your doors and lock your windows. It's happening. It's finally happening.
Rape day for real! They're coming. Terror gangs are stalking the streets, and any door that can be opened is opened, and the girls inside will be raped! It's NIGHTMARE TOWN. Everyone is getting raped each night, as the terror rape gangs prowl the streets. The police don't bother to stop them. In fact, there's a chance that officers actually JOIN the gangs and help the rapings.
You can't stop it. Just darken your lights, lock your windows, bar the doors, keep your spoons sharpened, and beware.
Our British Kingdom is no longer safe. The royal family have lost their divine right to rule, and now it is a dark age. The gods have left us. There is no legitimate authority. Everyone is a liar; everyone is a suspect. No one can be trusted. Not your friends, not your family, not your neighbors. Everyone is a rapist and they can't stop masturbating to raping all the girls in the city. And now they're making it real. They're raping all the girls, and it can't be stopped. The government has no power. The people are weak. The girls are sweet and vulnerable. And no one can stop it.
DARK AGE.
RAPE DAY.
All is lost.
ALL IS LOST.
FEAR THE FUTURE. THERE IS NO ONE PURE ENOUGH TO PULL THE SWORD FROM THE STONE. THERE IS NO LEGITIMATE AUTHORITY. ONLY RAW POWER DOMINATES, AND THIS POWER IS USED FOR ONLY ONE THING: RAPE.
ALL IS LOST.
Jace Stewart
Sounds like a good game. Missing slave training and trading tho.
Connor Brooks
But rape is normal when you're brown
Nicholas Hughes
So, you're a huge socialist aren't you? L o l. Fuck you. The Scottish Nationalist Party is actually mostly left wing, using the name of a traditional right wing movement to cover their tracks like a man being hunted in the snow. Let me be very clear, U.S. Patriots will show you the path, but how about you do some fucking research and stop showing your ass like Kanye West. Fucking ignorant twat. TLDR; young kid posts opinions on "Nationalist " party, that party actually promotes Socialism. L o l. Can't fix stupid.
Jonathan Foster
Well fellows. It was fun posting here a while but we got to steam and the content has been taken down. We have to ensure impressionable youth arent corrupted by content promoting rape. We dont allow movies like this and will not allow games like it either.
Anthony Edwards
Only autistic adults, outcasts etc play games as adults. They are a fringe. The majority of people playing even mature rated games are chikdren who have a family memeber buy their console games or just lie about age on steam or another platform. Play something 'mature' rated online and use a microphone. All children.
Julian Carter
cool and good oh hell no.
really makes you think.
I think they deleted it, cowards. Also there is some whore in the comments telling to false report it and everyone who opposed her are getting perma banned. check it steamcommunity.com/app/985210
Blake Gutierrez
Ban fully automatic sexual assault games.
Nolan Gonzalez
Really makes you think
Grayson Thomas
The UK truly is cucked beyond comprehension now. It feels like they are constantly trying to destroy liberty and free speech in every way they can. What the fuck is wrong with them?
Wyatt Edwards
...
William Garcia
Funny how this shit is a huge deal but muslim rape gangs are a conspiracy.
Hunter Moore
They are a big deal you fucker, by law the media can not report on those cases, do you know why? So their actions dont inspire others to do the same thing by letting them know its possible. Its not a conspiracy, everyone knows these things happen. Learn about the uk and why certain laws are in place. Its like you get all your news here.
It's just the hypocrisy and being offended at NPC's being abused in video games that is laughable.
Blake Robinson
That is the most retarded reason that I have ever heard. Only a dumbass would believe that that is the real reason.
Juan Perry
There is no way someone would believe this, not even leftists themselves. What's with all the reporting on all other crimes then, are all news stations pro school shootings and murder?
Caleb Collins
I also wish for you to kill yourself. But we can't win every battle.
Lincoln Thomas
They care about the idea of rape, but when someone gets raped in the UK, it's quite easy to get off, especially if you're brown. You get about a year at most.
Christian Carter
It's easy to fight against free speech. It's hard to fight against actual crime.
Oliver Collins
They also banned learning support bases in kids crying discrimination. And made a mandatory tax for parking your car at work.
Joshua Brown
Lmao, like other muslims don't know about Taharrush ("the rape game") It's part of their culture.
Hunter Brown
#NUKETHEUK
Liam Reed
Yay for censorship!!!!
I talked to the creator of this game after a AMA he did and hes a weeb pervert with a rape fetish and made the game specifically to get off, as well as cause controversy.
I personally believe it’s disgusting and adults choosing what they want to veiw and get off on while harming no one else deeply offends me.
Damnit I'm going to show this game to the kids in my family so they grow up heterosexual and not fags.
Christian Hill
It's actually one of those shit games with stock 3d assets and a shallow choose your own adventure.
Brayden Ortiz
They would rather import a bunch of niggers to rape for real
Luis Sullivan
Lol
Cameron Parker
There's such thing as healthy nationalism you know. You yourself are a nationalist at heart if you don't want your country to fall apart. There is no world-state
