Video game allows players to shoot gays

Gay groups are outraged over a video game where the object is to shoot gay men before they 'rape' the player.
The game, called 'Watch out behind you, Hunter' and created by Frenchman Stéphane Aguie, is hosted by a Georgian website called Uzinagaz and was actually launched in 2002.

It is banned in France, but it is not banned in the ex-Soviet country where it is hosted, or in the UK. It involves going through the jungle and shooting any nudists who come out of the bushes. If they are to reach you before you shoot them then they rape you, an act which is shown in the game.

There are games which allow you to shoot Muslims/Christians/Jews/etc. (religious persecution), dogs/cats/birds (animal rights violations), politicians and celebrities, and of course there are games where you can shoot strippers and hookers.

So. it's okay to shoot heterosexuals but not gays? Talk about being too sensitive...

Personally, I wouldn't play this game, but that's because it likely sucks, not because it offends my sensibilities.

If I will shoot heterosexuals, I will most certainly shoot Homosexuals in a game. Heck, I can't count the number of Homosexuals I have shot in COD4 on both the PSN and Xbox Live.

uhhh GWAVE, it's slightly different when the entire game is based around it, is intentionally hateful and full of bigotry.

@gwave
Though I have agreed with many of your statements in the past this one is utterly ridiculuous. The point is, any game targetting a specific group, whether its based on solely race, religion, or sexual orientation should be banned. Now I did not find Resident Evil 5 to be wholly offensive given the circumstances of the game's setting in Africa, but this game clearly represents ignorance and hatred towards gay people and has no qualms about it. It portrays gay men as sexual predators out to rape people in the ass. Now that's a load of bullshi'. You then have to shoot their guts to stop them.

Your comparison to shooting hereros is crap as well, given that there aren't any games that solely focus on killing men who like women, and if there were , hell that'd be a crap game as well. GTA for example does not discriminate in who you kill, as you can shoot any bystander on the street. Other shooters have you kill Nazis, aliens, demons, or terrorists who have basis to kill. Gay people, however are not equivalent to said characters, especially with this homophobic characterization.

But whatever, it's probably a crap game on all fronts, subject matter and gameplay.

@parapraxis
Exactly.

@everyone else
Bring on the disagrees, I'm sick of this community.

Gays are being portrayed as naked, rape-craving savages.

That's wrong.

"So. it's okay to shoot heterosexuals but not gays? Talk about being too sensitive..."

If the game's context were reversed, it would be just as offensive.

I am not a Gay basher or anything like that. I am actually netural when it comes to this subject but to some extent i find it funny that the gay community would be up and arms about this. By kikicking up a fuss we now know about this game.

It would be no different if its about a guy trying to rape a girl and the girl is the one doing the shooting. None of us straight guys would be offended. Now imagine the name for such a game. Watch out the front and behind you lol. I know i am bad lol!. I just couldn't stop laughing at the title of this game. Le Chance's country men are crazy.

This is my type of game. Finally us heterosexuals get some equal rights. We are always killing heterosexuals. Gays think they deserve special treatment just because they have mental problems, lol. Anyway, I'm glad someone made a game like this. Gay promoters are annoying.

Here is the game if you want to play: http://www.aeonity.com/ab/g...

Middle aged, Christian males that all of those here defending the gay issue would have a good laugh. Sorry, but there is a double standard these days where it is ok to shoot at white folk, especially Christians but if you shoot a muslim or a gay then your shunned. Sad really...

10.1 - The big deal is
unlike other games (say GTA) where you shoot all manners of people or the bad guys, this game portraits gay people as horny brainless animals who would run around naked and rape everyone in sight. They are your only targets for your blood thirst. Isn't that too obvious already?

Are lawyers a minority group which has been subjected to acts of violence, prejudice and hatred?

Some of the comments being made here on N4G are truly ignorant and disgusting, I guess there is still a long way to go before people can recognize their own bigotry.

I bet a lot of these people trying to justify this "game", which is basically a sad attack on gays, think Bruno is funny because he is making fun of gays as well... he's not, he's making fun of small minded fools who are so insecure in their own sexuality that they fear gays and turn to their prejudices to make themselves feel better.

There are fewer lawyers than there are non-lawyers... say have been subject to many jokes and hatred over the years.

I am just tired of these articles highlighting these games. Rapelay is a perfect example of this, released in 2006 but simply fell off the radar by writing these articles you draw attention to the game and means more people download and play it.

I am strangely offended by the word gay I much prefer homosexual so I could write and article on how Gay Armania is homophobic... actually no the word homophobic is stupid, they are not affraid of homosexuals they dislike them so does that mean these pro-gay groups are homophobicphobic? I don't mind people sexuality but so long as they don't force opinions on me, give me the information and allow me to make up my mind. Now these groups don't do much to help homophobia. One of the main arguments wher ethat homosexuality is natural and I'm fine by that but these groups only generalize homosexuality by having these bright colours and various things such as flowers etc they further the generalization and can even alienate certain homosexuals who prehaps are slightly less out there and as colourful but homosexual and confident none the less. These groups can even be giving a bad name.

Now you didn't expect that a fairly decent retort I like o think of myself fairly open minded but I'll let you judge that.

Yeah, I bet you really enjoyed it when that giant wang was swinging around in your face! (And yes it was making fun of gays in that they have some epic obsession with dildos and wildly plowing their boy toys. This is Sacha Baron Cohen we're talking about...he's gonna try to offend as many people as possible)

Seriously though, calm down. People are just cracking these jokes because of a little thing called internet anonymity. Judging them with righteous fervor isn't going to really make them give a damn either way. N4G isn't exactly the place to be politically correct.

No place should EVER be politically correct... I cannot stand the word it requires such ignorance such neutrality that the world would not be the same without the darker and brighter side. There are differences and people think differently, opinions vary. Being politically correct just makes you bland.

1) You use the word "bigotry" so many times here it makes me want to vomit.
2) You're condemning people for saying what they want about a game, calling them all ignorant homophobes.
3) You actually called us "kiddos" as if to assume you're on this level of maturity massively greater than the rest of us. (That or you're just an old man...at which point you can excuse my third point)

Terrible. Ban it.

I love the gays, they're decent homies. Most are fun to shop with. This game portrays them in a horrible light, showing just how ignorant people are and how much prejudice gay people face. It's disgusting.

And yeah, you shoot heterosexuals in game, but not because they're heterosexual.. And unless there is an annoying love story, how can you really tell what orientation they are anyways?... better yet, who cares? In this game, you're killing them BECAUSE they are gay, since obviously all gay people want to rape you.

....As if, mofos.
