You may remember that fairly recently I blogged about the Second Life Rape games and for some reason this article continues to receive more hits than any other post. Yesterday for example it warranted over 1200. Therefore, I will not link to my post but instead just copy the content here. I also closed comments quite some time back as it was attracting the usual rape game/rape apologist type of comment. You know wanting to get into discussion about ‘rape fantasy’
Whoa! I have rape fantasies therefore what is wrong with rape games – I mean every fantasy must be catered for! It’s my right! It’s free speech Gawdammit!
Not having the time or energy to explain the difference between power fantasies and real life and huh anyway some people dream of screwing goats – but you know I cannot be bothered with that one either.
Here’s the origional post.
Rape game to play out your sick fantasies.
Options are “rape victim” “get raped” or “hold victim” all played out in some back alley, with actual rape taking place in a dungeon.
And some people deny that we live in a “rape culture”

There has been some development within the Netherlands where it is under discussion whether virtual child porn may be a crime. Of course, once again it concentrates on the paedophiliac content and as usual there is nether a mention on the effect that it may have on women over the age of sixteen. That is of course if she survived the “grey area” of the previous three years – where the Magic Teen word catapults her in the sights of the paedophile in waiting.
Anyway – I digress and here is the article.
Reuters Internet Report
AMSTERDAM (Reuters) – Virtual enactments of child pornography may be a crime under Dutch law if it encourages child abuse, the public prosecutor has announced.In the virtual world of Second Life, a popular Internet destination, everyone aged under 18 is supposed to be limited to a “teen grid.”However, it would be relatively easy for children to get on to the adult grid if they wished since there is no proof of age required.In the adult section, some users participate in “age play,”in which adult users can create child-like characters and have virtual sex that would be illegal in the real world.“ There are possibilities to prosecute because it possibly incites child abuse,” the spokesman for public prosecutor Kitty Nooij, who is in charge of national vice cases, said.With the increasing popularity of virtual worlds, there are fears people may turn to them to carry out activities considered illegal in the real world.There is no Dutch case law about virtual child pornography in writing, drawings or computer animation.In the United States, where Second Life creator Linden Lab is based, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down a law in 2002 which would ban computer-generated images that depict minors engaged in sexual conduct.Citizens who commit Internet crimes can be prosecuted in the country where they commit the offence under local laws.
Second Life, where Reuters opened a bureau last year, has several hundred thousand regular users although only a maximum of about 30,000 are logged in at any given time.
A majority of Second Life residents are from Europe, with about 35 percent from the United States.
yep – it’s shite, second life is shite and the apologists are (as usual) talking shite – but i think that’s what i said last time …. i’m so boring i’m even regurgitating my own drivel.
but i do it with love…xxx
“That is of course if she survived the “grey area” of the previous three years – where the Magic Teen word catapults her in the sights of the paedophile in waiting.”
The “Magic Teen” word is also so 2005.
But yeah, paedos mainly want the semi-women ie teenaged girls – awww shucks, and plain old paedophilia is so boring – gotta rape ‘em now.
That should have read “violently rape them now” – (sex with an underage girl is already rape – sorry)
I posted an article recently about rape games and I’ve been inundated with hits from people searching for “rape games”. It seems that most of them are coming from Singapore.
I think I must have been linked to somewhere? I’ve now had thousands of hits to the one post!
Sparkle it does appear you have been linked. Just imagine all those hundreds of thousands males who think raping a woman or girl is fun!! Can’t possibly have any connection to the mainstreaming of pornography can it? After all those males are entitled to sexually abuse any female virtual or real. Just shows how powerful the porn propagada machine has become. As for Netherlands’ concern about female children under the age of 16 – bah another excuse intended to hide the fact male sexual violence against females occurs at all ages from birth of female to death of female and it is inclusive!
I’m too disgusted to comment.
I get tons of traffic from people looking for rape games too. It’s really disturbing.
I read somewhere today that a ’sex business’ in second life actually sold on ebay for $50K???
Holy crap – what is wrong with ppl?
AD – I’ve read about the ’sex business’ game. Making misery and abuse into a game…totally dehumanizing.
