MS Bans Indie Dating Game for "Sexual Violence"

Microsoft has banned a Japanese made dating game from its own Xbox Live "Indie Games" program for a romantic scene in which a girl is pushed onto the ground, showing her pantsu in the process. Microsoft calls this scene "reminiscent of sexual violence," and so banned the game.

Boo!

[NeptuneMerc]

So you like rape ?

[NMC2007]

Do you like freedom? The freedom to create whatever you want without being shunned or having it censored, nah, America is slowly becoming a communist country, freedoms slowly being taken away, can't wait till they start putting domes over cities for the upper class and let the lower middle class people fight for survival.

It's fiction, do they ban romance novels which have rape in them? Or how about movies in which someone is raped? Of course not, soon maybe but not now.

[Light Yagami]

@1.1, It's not rape.

[Gobot]

America =/= Earth

[LONEWOLF231]

Hahahaha! Funny ass video.

[ia_studio]

[Redempteur]

showing pantsu in games in japan is a everyday thing lol.

are they going to put LONG skirts in all grils so that pantsu won't be seen ?

[Etseix]

Not to mention that MS seems to be very excited for The Ballad of Gay Tony.

Hey guys just come out of the closet already.
Clearly seeing homosexual overtones in games and then the hostility to them only shows us you're trying to fight some internal battle inside you between the lie you're living now (pretending to be straight) with your true nature (being gay and suppressing it).

This is the 21st century and it's ok for you two to be gay.
No-one will judge you and if they do they're bigots who are insecure about themselves.

Or it could be that you two are the bigots I was talking about.

[DelbertGrady]

Good.

[iceman06]

So...umm...let me get this straight. Panties=BAD....Blood, gore, foul language, alien sex=GOOD!?!?! Oh...the logic!!!

[ShiftyLookingCow]

one of them leads to over population while the other group leads to population reduction and right now Earth needs the latter. Its all a conspiracy of Earth loving liberals of the mid 20th century.

[Viper7]

Seriously... Panties are everywhere in japanese manga, anime and games. Its not even AO material. Oh and girl is pushed down! omg ppl are shooting, hitting, and pretty much beating up girls in many games.

geez flower hat grannies working for Microsoft nowdays?

[Gam71]

And in how many games, films, music videos, soaps etc do they show a woman slapping, punching, kicking, kneeing their partner or potentional love interest?

Bit of a double standard.

[Ninjamonkey]

Its not to do with the pants shown.

Its because its reminicent of sexual violence. In games thats more of an issue than films since your playing as the character doing it.

And considering its online any kid could quite easily get hold of it.

[FxckOSX]

Murder........OK!! Welcome!!
Gun, Drug, come on now!!!!!
yaaaaaaaaaaaaahoooooooooo right!!!

Sexy..........YUCK!! Get out of here!!

I can't understand it.

[Reibooi]

If this is getting banned(Which is retarded there is no reason for it) I fear what will be banned further down the line and it's probably gonna prevent a good portion of people from creating indie games for 360
