Kojima's R Game

every copyright is of their respective owners, I do not own nothing, this is a work of critique.

because somebody NEEDS to talk about this...
the problem of being a paid demo (still 40 € is most of europe, it was 60€ at start) that last 30 minutes if played actively (leaving the pad and make the game running is should not be counted as active playtime...) is frankly a rather welcome now.

the big, huge, DISGUSTING problem is that this game is subtly supporting rape.

the PROBLEM:

1) Chico (a underage boy) and Paz are implied to be raped repentantly.

2) it's also implied that the USA army (the OMEGA camp is a parody of Gantanamo Bay prison camp) made Chico rape Paz.

3) the medium that all the rape and tortures are narrated(sony's portable cassette tapes) is counted as reward, and is secondary and unrelated to the game, "earned" with not canonical actions and they are longer than the game itself.

4) the whole Rape plot is not recounted or told or implied in the main story, there is not punishment or disgust or in any way the game define that as bad or a crime.

5) Paz is not shown much wounded or hurt by the whole torture and repeated rape, as she would not care much or the act would not be much bad. this is common in rape-fetish porn.

6) the rape plot is considered a prize

the COUNTER ARGOUMENT:
I know many of MGS fans support this and so support rape. I already discussed with them so I already know their replies ( mostly with insults).

1) no. this does not the game more realistic, every part of the game is unrealistic and the rape is not treated realistically by the story.

2) no. this not sets a tone. no part of the rather short story mention it. everything is told with reward cassette that the player needs to actively search and find.

3) no. it's not "fine", Rape is a horrible act that hurt physically and psychically a person. it's worse than homicide because there is a horrible torture that scar the person for their whole life.

4) no. the fact that Paz is a girl does not help her (someone implied this...)

5) no. Paz being a spy or being trained do not make the action less horrible or less damaging.


if this is a deranged version of "character growth" is not Paz's character, as she is swiftly taken care of with a Vagina bomb (someone set a bomb BOTH in her belly and in her Vagina, so we could have that "gritty" cutscene of the bomb removal. useless cutscene...)
at best is Chico's character growth, and this is ALREADY WRONG. Snake do not care much, he is pissed that his little base was destroyed and that's it...



what I find sad is that Bayonetta generated a buzz for how it was "offensive" but it's nothing as horrible as this...but with this everyone keep the silence...
