That doesn’t sound like a fair assessment to me. I wouldn’t touch the game in question with a 10 ft pole, but not because I’m scared of being influenced by it. This will make people become sexists and rapists in the same way that gay porn makes people gay and violent murder games make people violent murderers. Of course, there are certain groups of society that need to be protected from media like this, but that’s hardly a new concept.
Personally I’m more worried about the weird, predatory Android Play Store fetish content aimed almost exclusively at young children.
Australia and Canada were the first to ban it, UK is just following suit. Hopefully Steam just removes the game; people are gonna fantasize about whatever they want but we don’t need to cater to their sadistic and cruel tastes

Is this about the UK porn ban?
I think it’s less about porn and more about sexism and rape being encouraged by it

That’s OK.
