Yes, the Constitution provides for freedom of speech, but it’s not an unlimited freedom — especially when it comes to sexual depictions of children.

Christopher Handley, a manga collector, is facing jail time for possessing manga featuring the sexual abuse of children. And this is a legitimate collector who didn’t have this for salacious reasons.

i don’t know, i belive the game should be out there for sell. At least in USA where the constitution give us the freedom of speech, and press..don’t get me wrong is an awful game, cruel and inmoral…But that’s MY opinion, if you ban Thoughts next is gonna be a book, than movies and later the press…i believe in freedom, and if you are a thinking adult and you decide to buy it is your choice…just keep away from me…I disagree with what you say but i’ll die for your right to say it.

You know, in some countries, the age of consent is a lot lower then some others. So what is defined as pedophilia might actually be a valid pornographic hobby. Not like that diminshes any creepiness of course but……Seriously, there are a lot more people into these kind of things then you’d think. And no. I’m not into this, I’m more into paizuri.

You can defend and encourage the ideas of free thinking and free speech without having to endorse a game like this. Go talk to little kids about thinking outside the box and helping out the community, you don’t need to support something like a rape game to support freedom of speech and ideas. By the way, this isn’t freedom of speech or ideas, this is a company thinking okay this generation likes……sex and violence SO sex+violence=rape, rape video game! rape video game=money!

I like this article – its very interesting.

I of course oppose games like these, nice to see Amazon.com shut it down.

Can’t people find better things to do with their talents than to make games like that? Yeesh…

I guess some people might buy it.. creeps.. >_<

I’m divided on this issue. Rape is a horrible thing and if a child is involved it becomes something even more monsterous, however I think it is important to defend the freedom of ideas, even and especially of those ideas we find personally repulsive.

I agree that amazon is within their rights to remove this game from their shelves, but I stop short of saying that evil and villany in games must be “justified”, in any way, for it to be defensible. If this logic were applied to books or other works we could easily find works that did not meet our criteria of defensibility and argue that they are not worth defending. And once you start drawing circles around things and saying “these things are not fit to exist” those circles always seem to widen. Like I said, I wouldn’t play this game, I think it’s gross and detestable, but I think it does have a right to exist and I think the arguement that it is just a game is valid and should not, does not, diminish ourselves or our ideals or freedoms in any way, because it is in fact, just a game.
