It's violence made cartoonish by being so over-the-top. You can't really do that with rape.

I personally think it's an interesting commentary on games that you can have a game where you brutally and graphically murder people, police officers, dogs, prisoners, unarmed people, wounded people, people who're begging for their lives and where you can gouge out people's eyes, beat them in the head with a bat until their brains fall out, burn them with boiling water, slash their throats, kick their head in against a wall, cut their limbs off and generally violently execute everyone you come across and that is perfectly fine. But the moment you throw in a scene of sexual violence (in a scene that assists and demonstrates some of the themes in the game no less) people flip out.

I don't know about you, but I wouldn't really want to play a game with a tagline like "Do you like raping other people?"

We're discussing a rape scene. Rape is a thing that people get real-deal no-poo poo PTSD from. It's not like he's saying "tw: water" or something.

"Stanley Kubrick did. David Lynch did. Alejandro Jodorowsky did. Mel Gibson did. Quentin Tarantino did. Hitchcock did. Sergio Leone did. Trey Parker did. Seth McFarlane did. Ridley Scott did. Akira Kurosawa did. Clint Eastwood did. Oliver Stone did. Frank Miller did. Alan Moore did. Zack Snyder did. Elem Klimov did."


I like how he has Trey Parker and Seth McFarlane in there too.

I would argue that games like Far Cry 4 are not art because they are made by thousands of people with no one real visionary behind them steering the ship, for purely commercial reasons. Well, maybe not "not art" but definitely low art.

Hotline Miami is made by like two dudes who clearly have something to say, though. So it's art for sure.

I'm just saying, if people that didn't like it didn't get up in arms about it, neither would the ones who do like it. It's disturbing, but it's not real. Best to just let it exist as a strange niche instead of drawing so much attention to it and prodding it's audience into being more vocal.

The best part about this is it's not even like from years and years ago, it's from a month ago. The guy vehemently opposed to the depiction of rape in any fictional media in any context because it is a trauma inducing experience has been probated/banned repeatedly within the past month for advocating the existence of anime child pornography (and by extension anime child rape since you know, consent laws) under the banner "It's not real!"

WickedHate posted:

I don't mind the scene being in myself, and I really like this element of the story. The issue of the digital comic that had "the Pig Butcher" murdering a bunch of innocent people really pissed me off because I thought they were retconning Jacket's story, but then the last page revealed it was the movie and it suddenly made a lot of sense. Very deep.

He's right though. It was DolphinCop who is opposed to all depictions of rape, but is also posting in a thread about one of the most violent games ever made and not seeing the disconnect in those two forms of thinking.

Ok apparently I was thinking of DolphinCop and not you, but you're still on the hook for the "repeatedly supporting the existence of anime pedo porn" I don't feel like letting that slide. That means you're not a hypocrite either though, sorry.

I'm not against all depiction of it, but equating any other kind of physical violence with sexual assault is a bad argument though. It's just different and people are gonna have to accept it. That doesn't mean the scene shouldn't be in the game or anything, but "Well it has a lot of blood so why NOT have rape" isn't right either.

I'd guess that people who have PTSD from being put into violent situations would take issue with you thinking their pain is somehow less than that of people who have PTSD from sexually violent situations.

Like everything else, the depiction of sexual violence being offensive or not comes down to context. The stupid getting felt up QTE in Tomb Raider was terrible because it was lazy, pointless, shock value bullshit. Just like most of the non-sexual ultraviolence in that game. The scene in question in Hotline Miami 2 is actually saying something, and isn't just there for it's own sake. Them putting in the option is a good thing, because it will let people who do have PTSD issues from that kind of thing play the game, but it's not something that should be wiped from all media. All that's going to do is make it some unspoken of taboo without showing any of the actual consequences of it.

But anyway, how about that Pertubator?
